“Serving Texas "Aggies"
By RAY HOLBROOK
Fresh froin the Kansas and
Drake Relays, the Aggie track and
field -team returns to Southwest
Conference Competition this week
end when they engage Texas in a
dual meet at Austin tomorrow.
..Undefeated iir 1 all team meets
this year, the Cadets are shooting
for a fourth straight SWC cham-
Jliohehijr at the conference meet
next week. Though scoring jbut
One' first place at each the Kansas
and Drake events, the maroon and
whitd stars khowed up wjjdl neyef-
the, less. j j
j i) Strong Overall
A&M’h power lies in its overall
strength, rather than on the she aid
ers of, three, or four stars. There
are outstanding men hero on lAg-
giolnnd’s track team, though. Two
of those-- George Kadera in the
discus and I Paul Leriiing in the
low hurdlcsh-wcro the KOgpectlve
winners at Kansas and Drake.
Torriorrow’s meet Will bo a heck
and 1 neck siffair, with the team
which gets the breaks corning out
as the winner. This could very
easily be tile home team—Tejxas.
Should either team win by rhore
'thain a poiijit or two, that tjeam
will undoubtedly be tabbed as fav
orites to tak|e the conference crown
the following weekend.
Who’ll “'Win?
So—let’s look at how this week’s
meet may turn Out. We predict a
winner by ! not more than six
points, but ! we’re not saying Just
who—yet.
The Steefs seem to - have the
100, 200, aid the 440-yard relay
sewed up with Charley Parker and
Perry Samhels leading the way.
But there’s : a chance of Bob Hall
sneaking by Samuels in the i 100
and a better chance of Jack Bond
or Dave Yiejngst taking a 200-yard
dash second place, which could
mean the njargin of victory, j
: IEoIIIh Baker

the'twc-galme series between the
Aghle hasiiballers and Rice Ow ls,
slated for the Kyle Field dia
mond tomorrow and Saturday.

With a still versatile group of
quaf-ter-milers around, the Ag
gies should sweep the 440, with
Don Mitchell and Bernard Place
leading. By adding Don Carden
and Cecil Inglehart, the Cadets
should have a sure five points in
the mile relay.
Two-Mile Improbable'
Texas’ fine showing in the two-
milc relay -at Kansas indicates
they can take the first two places
in the half-time event. Led by Don
Sparks ftnd ’Lowell Hawkins, they
have a fine 880 crew. Our own
hoys, Alex Ortiz,arui Robert Allen,
have an uphill'battio before them..
Led by J. D. Hampton and Jul
ian Herring, the Cadets are stack
ed in the mile and two-mile. Bobby
Whlsennnt, Orange two-miler, is
due; for second in that event, how-
ever. /
Paul Leming Is the clasriest of 1
the* high hurlcrs, with TU’s Per
sons second, in front of Billy
BlcSn.
t , f - Hall Ready
Bub Hall should regain his win
ning low hurdle form this week
for A&M, and if Leming— or per- |
haps Bless—can beat Persons,’this j
could be another big deciding fac
tor.! Leming is most dependable
and should conljifei through after
last week’s great performance at
Drake.
, Big George Kadera seems to
'have the shot and discus events
wrapped up for the Cadets, but
Bill Neiburn and Randall Clay
might be close seconds for the
Steers in that order.
If Ed Hooker can top C)ay in the
Disfcus, Texas hopes will be slim
mer yet.
Texas for Javelin
Javelin' competition will be for
second, with Ray Matek far out
in front for the Texans. Jack
Simpson may be good for second,
but we’ll have to give ’em a sweep
in that evgnt at the present.
With Simpson soaring 13’ 8” or
■ better in the pole vault, consistent
ly, this fight also seems to be for
second place between Aggie Don
Graves and Bob Walters from
Austin. Graves and Walters tangle
again in-, the high jump with the
addition of Buddy Davis, the Ag
gies’ 6’ 8” performer.
Orange and Whites seem to
own the broad jump, ope of the
Aggies’ weakest events. Texas
boast two able performers in
Meeks and Johnson. J. P. Weber
and Glenn Lippman will attempt to
displace them.
So-*—add it up and try to figure
the outcome. It’ll be close. As for
a pick, we’ll say Texas, G2-G0.
