1 . Mile Relay
i A SiM’s mile relay, composed of
Buddy Shacffer, Doh Cardon, Ber
nard Place, and Dop “Jose" Mitch
ell will ' be back to defend its
title, won last year in 1 3:17.3. The
1948 .Aggie mile relayers hold the
present record of 3:17.2.
Rice Will be favored to take this
everjt tomorrow, however, and if
they do, it will mark the^fend of
a five-year reign held by tpe Ma
roon and White trackmen, unde-
lisated since 1944 in that event.
Team to wa.tch in the relays will
be the Aggie four-mile relay. Con
sisting of Jib McMahon, John Gar-
many, Julian Herring, and’ J. D.
"Hampton, the foursome stand a
“good chance of a win and a record.
Four-Milcrs Tops
Hampton, Herrings, and Gar-
rhany finished in' that order in the
mile run in every meet this year
and,. together with McMahon, a
fine two-njiler, should have, the
best four-mile relay teamj in the
nation. Hampton has. run a, 4:17
jnile and, Herring had a 4:19 last
year. /r
The Texas Relays record calls
for a little under a 4^25 average,
which they ‘should . surely meet,
while- it is very possible that the
Aggies could average under 4.20
apiyer and break the national rec-
prd_ in this event. 'J

George Kadera, defending Jim*

Leming will be up against strong
competition, the roughest of his
short hut brilliant career, but is
favored to come through for an
other championship.
Should Simpson clear 14’ tomorr
row, Jim could busily make [scdiit*
among the top men at tho meet,
among, which are a gultccollection
of excellent vaultors, somb of Whom
have Jumped ..14'd". Four men tied

Dark Horses
Davis and Graves are dar t; hor
ses in the high Jump. Vert Me-
Grew of Rice, lust year’s winner
at 8’ 0”, will be favored ‘ 11 this
event. Boh Walters,, jumpirg tho
sumo at! Odessa lust wee if for
Texas, should be fight along with
him. Both Davis and Graves are
capable of 6’ 7” or 6’ 8”, and if one
or both could clear this mark to
morrow, jt would he a different
story for’ the favorites.
Kadera won the discuss last year
with 154’, but Should surely sur
pass that mark this weekend. He
has thrown over 164’ in four meets
and ;might. endapger the record of
172’. Roilin , Pfather of Kansas

The Age wilt he seeking thslr
first victory in three starts, hav
ing dropped ths last Wo to Min
ncseta’s Gulden Gophers and Sam
Houston’s BearkaU, respectively.
Baylor has' stacked up a re
spectable 6-0 season record, with
the last three games in conference
play. The Rice Owls kind BMU’s
Mustangs have gone down before
Bruin onslaughts, with the Hous
ton school getting a bitter taste
of defeat twice.
Pitcher Unknown
‘‘I may just toss a coin,” Coach
Marty Karow said in reply to a
query on tomorrow’s' starting
pitcher for the Cadets. All of the
Aggie hurlers have proved incon
sistent thus far in the Season,
although George Brown and Sam
Blanton seem the most; reliable.
The Bears, on the * other hand,
have a pitching staff cjuRy com
parable in strength to Texas Uni
versity's. Texas, NCAA 1949
champs, have the majority jof last
year’s pitchers again id the line
up.

remember from last year’s foot

for the first time since, pre-war

Six Events
Six events j comprise the JC-
Freshman division in the annual
Relays. They are the high jump,
120-yard high hurdles, sprint med
ley relay, 440-yard relay, mile re
lay,' 1 and 100-yard dash. Of these
events, the Aggie Fish placed in
all but one, the 100-yard dash
last year.
Dick Graves placed second in
the high jump, and Paul Leming
won the high hurdles. Tho mile re
lay team for the 1049 freshmen,

lanky Clyde Ro
sitchers. Along With
„— Robinson, who stop
ped Rice with ortly three hits last
Saturday, Burke and several oth
ers will be depended on heavily
for the Beai-s. j
Hard Hitters
Baylor’s hurlers will meet some
of the hardest-shooting guns of
the conference, however, in the
Cadet lineup. With such hitters
as Wally Moon, who has totaled
five home runs this season, and
big Bill “Shug” McPherson, now
sporting a .567 average in 10
games, the Aggies will try to best
Baylor with a fifevee offensive
game. : j v ! 1 ; ■ j , uT
Several other A&M players are
hitting well, including Hank Can-
delari, third baseman, with a .316
average. Hollis Baker, sub out
fielder; although he has only been
at plate nine timen,^sport* a ,556
total.
Baker may ho used more than
usual in conference play if John
DeWitt, usual starting Isft-Hpld-
er, doesn’t do better with tho bat
than his present .222. s ’ . „
The entire (earn now averages.

Errors Lose
Wrrnrs at decisive times have
been the main cause of recent
Aggie losses, although the pilch-
Ing has also been far; from the
best. Tighter defensive! play and
fewer distribution of hits must be
achieved before the Cadets can
get In form for a conference
crown. • I
Texas is generally conceded ' to
bo the favoritfe iii SWCj jilay this
year; with Baylor and, the Ags
their strongest competition.
