May Be Hubert Again
A&M’s starting pitcher was Pat

But Foes
By RAY HOLBROOK
Most Southwest track fans arle
probably thinking that the string
of famous Aggie mile relay teams
has finally run out and that this
year’s team isn’t nearly as good
as previous teams.
But these people don’t stop ((o
realize that this 1950 team has
been meeting stiffer competiticn
than earlier teams did—and in
reality the team is another fine
combination. It’s only trouble is
that it is hampered by having
what is perhaps the nation’s be it
mile relay just*a few miles awry
at Rice Institute.
The Owl relay team Is undefeat
ed this year and may well remain
so m proving itself the nation’s
best, but the A&M quartermi)ejrs
have been right behind ’em in
every meet. Only once have tne
Cadets finished further back thajn

of -the Cadet track squad seeing
action at Lawrence, ' Kansas, Ka-
dera’s feat of capturing the Kan
sas Relays discus event with a
166’ 4” heave appeared tops for
the local sports world last week.
Competition was not lacking,
iwever, as all-conference short
stop Guy Wallace led the Ag
Baseball dine in two victories.
Against SMU in Dallas Tuesday
the former all-stat«r slapped out
two doubles in two official trips
to the plate and scored three
HUns in thd 9-to-l Cadet victory..
Although going hitless in the
4-to-3 win Saturday over , Sam
Houston’<g potent diamond crew,
Wallace stole home for the second
A&M talljy after he had waited
out a base on balls in hisTirst
time at bail.
The other two strongest all-con
ference contenders on the collet
nine, Shug McPherson andi Wally
Moon, failed to show up as well as
they had in previous encounters.
Two pitchers, Pat Hubert and
Blanton Taylor, did come to the
forefront j with their exhibitions.
, Hubert jlset the Mustang^ down
with only; five hits and a; single
run and Taylor for six innings lim
ited the Htrong Lone Star Confer
ence team to six hits and three tal-

Simpson was Texas high school
broad jump champion several
years ago When a student at Wood-
row Wilson in Dallas (Bob Hall
is another Woodrow Wilson pro
duct). No\y he is capable of win
ning points in at least four events,
the high jump, broad jump, javelin
throw, and his specialty, the pole
yiauii;
We imagine the likeable field-
man, -who now lives in Denyer,
Colorado, would be a match (for
Bob Goode in the decathelon. And
Goode, who was a standout “frejsh-
man” player for the pro-football
Washington Redskins last fall, w as
among the best all-around trajek-
sters in the country when he want
ed to be.
Simpson’s 13’ 8” is probably
best vault for a Southwest Confer
ence collegian since pre-war dpys
when Texas’ Beefus Bryan

record’ heights.

second; in the Teijas Relays they
were third with OH second.
Record-Breakers, Too
A&M’s foursome ait the Texas 5
Relays ran 3:15.8 id that third spot
and themselves broke the old rec
ord of 3:17.3 set by the Cadet
relay in ’48. Rice lowered the
mark to 3:14.5.
Don Cardon, Buddy Shaeffer,
Bernard Place, and Don Mitchell
ran in that order and were, timed
at 60.4, 49.8, 48.8, and 46.8 sec
onds, respectively. Mitchell’s ter
rific anchor: lap brought him from
a bad fourth- to ii close third, a
yard behind Oklahoma.
Again at the Kansas Relays last
Saturday Rice broke the old ’48
Aggies team’s record, which was
3:15.6, by turning;jin ;a 3:16.0. The
Maroon ami white 1 was juiit a : few
strides buck in 3:15.6, which is the
team’s best time yet. . j
Inglchart Ajds Effort
The team this I time hud Cecil
Inglchart running second in Shaef-
ier’s place since Shaeffer had hurt
his leg the j week joeforoi The run
ners’ individual tijnes ‘ in this race
were 49.6, 49.1, 149.2, and 47.7,.
Mitchell, taking; the baton third
bc^rhid Rice and Missouri, Ijtarally
rah' the Missouri; anchor (nan in
the ground, passing 'Kim on the"
last curve and cliarly gaining all
the way on the Rice anohor man,
Tom Cox.
So it is clear now ,that this Ag
gie mile relay is! ndt weak after
all, and with these five men fight
ing for onjly four pjaces, the re
lay will be bettej- yet by confer
ence- meet time. Though coach Ray
Putnam is doubtful of his charges
beating Rice, he., is sure they will
make any race a close one.
A&M Hdlps Rice
Putnam ; attributes Rice’s good
showings to the Aggies’ ability to
“push” the Houstbn team—and the
absence of a “pusher” opponent
in ’48 and ’49 is the explanation
of those Marooh teams’ slower
times. |
Prospects for the ’61 mile relay
are sure to make Aggie fans smile
in anticipation for only one mem
ber of this year’s aggregation
will be lost by graduation. That
boy is Dop Cardon.
And if James Baker, sensational
freshman (star of last year, is eli
gible next spring, A&M may field
its stiongest mile relay ever with
Shaeffer, Place, and Mitchell all
improved (and with Inglchart that
important) fifth man.
’48 Ag Relay Tops
Experts rath the 1948 Aggie
team which ran 1600 meters in
3:11.0 (equiva)cnit of a 3:12.2 mile)
the SWC|s best with this year’s
Rice teanji cloke behind. However,
it is our opinion tha't last year’s
A&M tcajm if ^iven a fair break
could have tupped them all.
The ’40 relay’s only good race
was in breaking the SWC record
with a 8:14,9 Itime after every
man had! run two hard quarter
miles earlier In ihe same meet. It
will be intureiitmg to see if Rice
can ( break that record without
holding its men (out of other races.
And w«’ll all he watching the
Aggies j next: year—they may
come up! with the greatest relay
yet.
