night in Will Rogers Memorial
Coliseum in Fort Worth. The out
come of this game, should it be
played, will also decide who will
be the SWC representative.
In the first game against TCU,
the Aggies emerged victorious by
a score of 39-36. This game was in
DeWare Field House.
But the story had a different
ring when Cowtown’s Will Rogers
Coliseum was the scene of the next
meeting. On this occasion the Frogs
surprised their visitors by display
ing their own ball control for the
last seven minutes to emerge the
victor by the same three point mar
gin the Aggies had won by pre
viously 30-27.
Strong Defense
In 24 games, the Cadets have
allowed only 1,083 points to be
scored against them for an aver
age of 45.1 tallies per game; while
the Christians have poured 1,356
through the net in an equal num
ber of games for an average of
56.6 points.
Coach John Floyd will call on
Buddy Davis to jump at the cen
ter post. Davis is the All-SWC
Center this year.
Miksch Probable
At the forward post for the Ag
gies will be John DeWitt and
either LeRoy Miksch or Marvin
Martin. Although Martin has
started most of the games this
season, Miksch has turned in his
best performances of the year in
the last two games.
At guard for the Cadets will be
Jewell McDowell and Woody Walk
er. McDowell is A&M’s All-SWC
guard.
Probable starters for TCU will
be George McLeod at center, Har

forwards, and John Swain and

Simpson Vaults Unofficial
Record In Saturday Trials
By RAY HOLBROOK
Batt Sports Staff
Featuring outstanding perform
ances by Capt. Jack Simpson in
the pole vault and Soph Darrow
Hooper in the shot, the Aggie
track team displayed its talent last
Saturday afternoon before a
Sports Day crowd in its final
pre-season time trials. The regular
season begins next weekend at
Laredo with the Border Olympics.
Simpson Tops 14’ 2”
In the day’s best effort Simp
son cleared the polevault bar at
14’ 2”, a height which exceeds the
SWC record-by S 1 ^”. Don Graves
and Malcolm Marks had earlier
vaulted 13’ 8”. If Simpson can con
tinue to go over 14’, he will cer
tainly be the man to beat in the
Southwest and among the top
vaulters in the country this year.
Dynamitic Darrow Hooper liter
ally threw the shot away while
thrilling many a spectator with
his tremendous heave of 49’ 1014”.
This is 3 3/4” short of the SWC
record and is further than any con
ference shot putter has thrown in
over 10 years.
Cold Day
Other fine performances for so
cold a day were the Cadets 440
relay team’s time of 42,8 and an
extremely surprising 220 race. The
440 relay composed of Bernard
Place, Billy Bless; Bobby Rags
dale, and Bill Stalter appeared to
be the best foursome of sprinters
to show at Aggieland in some
years. Their time of 42.8 is good
considering the amount of work
done to date. These boys could very
easily turn out to be the best sprint
relay in the south this year.
Stalter, Baker Sparkle
Stalter and James Baker turned
in a sparkling race in the 220
dash which ended in a dead heat
and with a very respectable time
of 21.5. These two boys may go a
long way in destroying TU’s sprint
monopoly.
With Don Mitchell out of the
440 with a cold, Bob Mays regis
tered a 49.1 quarter mile for the
best time of the early season for
the Aggies. He was followed close
ly by Fuston McCarty and Ber
nard Place. These three along
with Mitchell will make up the
mile relay.
Three sophomores turned out to
be the day’s biggest surprises as
fl
;
I
K&H
Jack Simpson
they swept to wins over proven
favorites. Bob Ragsdale, who is
also a fine broad jumper and quar
ter miler, edged out Bill Bless in
the low hurdles with a 23.8 per
formance.
Wilmsen—Half-Mile
Ed Wilmsen continues to show
up as the Cadets best half mile
bet by upsetting senior letterman
Alex Ortiz and Robert Allen with
a very respectable 1:57.8.
Marshall Lazarine continued to
show his thus far superiority in the
mile over lettermen Julian Herring
and John Garmany but barely es
caped an upset himself by fast
finishing Charlie Gabriel. Gar-
many was third. Lazarine’s time
was 4:28.
Last year’s only outstanding per
former in his event able to escape
defeat Saturday was the incom
parable Paul Leming, SWC high
hurdle champion. Leming looked
smooth in taking his event in 14.7.
