only by Inches.
He is scooting for the conference
discus rejeord of 163’ and! it looks
as if thiji will be his yedr to ex
ceed the SWC standard. Should he
break thip record he will hold every
discus record in the Southwest out
side of tlpe Texas Relays, .,
The conference shot should go to*
Kadera again, but it is unlikely
tliat he .will break the record of
50’ W Set by Boyce “Honk” Ir
win while at A&M in 1934. Kadera
was upset last year in the shot
by George Petrovich elf Texas,
but aside from that has Won every

der. f
The sprint relay I team members
are Toddy Riggs, Ililph Grawun-

Brunson has switched Riggs

Bob Smith can: come around Tatar

Unless Smith comes around, the
Cadets' best bet in the javelin ap
pears to be Jack Sitripsoln, who has
made points in: every meet in that
event. His besit throw I to date is
close- to 170’ and shouldj he contin
