The Fish have had a very, sue-

large margins. They also gained
several places in the Texas Relays
^gainst stiff competition.
Today’s meet should be. an easy
victory for the Cadets if statistics
prove anything. The Rice fresh

a dual meet after the Aggie f Fish
had beaten the Rice-men fey about
-30 ■ points. This would seejn to
show that it should be easy fojr the
