I ^ J J . Records Set in 23rd M By RAY HOLBROOK A crowd of 12,000 fans looked on as three records fell in the university division of the 23rd an nual Texas Relays last Saturday. Rice’s mil§ relay, Kansas U. 4- mile relay, and two unknown hijjh jumpers, Jack Razzetto of San 'Diego State and Virgil Sevcrns of Kansas State, were the record breakers.- and shared the spot light of thb meet with Pat Bovvers, Kansas senior, who was named the outstanding performer of the meet. Rice’s mile relay team of Jim Hoff, Jack Hudgins, Red Brown/ and Tom Cox clipped off a 3:14.5 to break Texas A&M’s record of 3:17.2 set In 1948. ,Cox ran a great anchor lap to bring the Owls from 3rd to 1st at the finish. The Texas Aggies team composed of Don Cardon, Buddy Shaeffef, Bernard Place, and Don Mitchell, ^ran a 3:15 which broke the old record, but ended up 4-yards back in 3rd place. New 4'-mile Record ■ 7 Kansas great 4-mile relay team knocked 20 seconds off the old record by running a 17.20.9. The old record was 17:40.1 set by Ill inois in 1929 and was the oldest -record running 17-26, but J. D. Hampton’s 4:14 anchor mile could do no better than second. The Cadet team consisted/of Jim Mc Mahon, A>hn Germany, Julian Her ring, and Hampton. j ■ The ace high jumpers, Razzetto and Severns, both cleared 6’ 8 1/4” to eclipse the .old record of &- 7 7/8” set by Boydstan of Okla homa A&M in 1941. The pre-meet favorites, Vern McGrew of Rice, Jack Heintzman of Bradley, and Bob Walters of Texas, 'tied for third af 6’ 6”. Buddy. Davis and Don Graves of the Aggies both jumped 6’ 4”. Bowers—Outstanding • Pat Bowers, Kansas ace from Chicago, was selected as the out standing performer on the basis of 3 relays in which lie ran, all of which were won by Kansas. In the distance l ' medley on Friday Pat ran 3 laps'in 3:02.4. OFyitatur ' day he ran ihis mile on the record 1 j :16 and the 2- 1:62 lational half breaking 4-mile relay in 4 then came back to anchor mile relay to victory with half. He was 3rd in the meet last year, running the mile. Kadera Only Firs^ Big George Kadera provided A&M with its only first when he heaved the discluss 11” to beat out Rolling ~ of Kansas State by 10 feet, earlier had placed third shot with Prather’s winmi; going 52’ 1/4”. This is best discus toss of the year, but all his meet winning throws thi* year have been oyer 164 feeh. The conference record isj 163 feet, Tire Aggies only other showing was' the 880-relay which pi teed second behind the Texas team anjt- chored by flying Charley Paiker. The Cadet team of Jack Bond, Don Yiengst, Bob Hall, and Bil ly Bless were running nearly :veh with TU until the final hand >ff. , Montes Double Winner Javier Montes, outstanding dis tance star from Texas Wesjteni, was the meets only double winner taking the 3,000-meter in 8:49,7 and the open mile in 4:21.2. Charley Parker won the 100 in 9.6 edging out Paul Bienz of Tulane, last year’s winner. Pajrker also an chored. the winning 440 and 8$0 relays and was runner-up for tae. meet’s outstanding perform cjr award along with the record break ing high jumpers. Paul I,eniing failed to place In the high hurdles which was wijn by Roy Grieve of Bradley in 14J5. Leming had been suffering frofn flu last week and, obviously, wis not .yet over his attack; The Aggies 440 relay and 2-mde relay just failed to place taking 5th in both events.
