Texas Snaps Maroon
Victory Streak, 63-59
By RAY HOLBROOK
Texas U spelled the doom of the
heretofore undefeated Texas'Aggie
track team last Friday in Austin
by the score of 63-59 in a dual
meet. . »
Leading the Steers to victory
was Chariot! Parker, who won the
100 and 220 and helped win the
410 relay.
Despite the ^ fact that the Ag^
pies garnered 10 firsts to Til’s
six, the Longhorns gained a win
ning margin on 11 second places
while the Cadets got but three.
So things seem reversed this
yCar, for iii the past few years A
& M teams have battered Texas
down with their galaxy of places
other than first while the TU stars
took the majority of the firsts.
But the Aggies have a lot more
boys who will be after those third
and fourth places and if they can
keep their hard-worked-for firsts,
there is a good chance of retain
ing that SWC crown at Aggie-
land.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of
the meet was Alex Ortiz and John
Garmany of the Aggies finishing
1-2 in the-880 in 1:56.5. This event

Blanton Aids Cause
Cnndolari followed with a single

Malt/A hinglc., Culvert's deep fly
to l($t scored Candcluri;. then
Blanton aided his own cause by
slapping a double down the left
field foul line.
Maltz, aided by Joe Newbill’s
fumble, scored all the way from
first on the play. Wallace’s double
was responsible for scoring Blan
ton for the final marker of the
inning.
Candelari added Ag run num
