Ag Track Coach
Named to Teach
European Area
Frank Anderson, Texas
A&M track coach for more
than 20 years, has been se
lected by the U. S. Occupa
tional Forces to conduct a
three-week track and field clinic
for athletic officers in the Euro
pean Command.
The clinic will be held from
April 4-25 at an undisclosed base.
Barlow Irvin, A&M athletic di
rector and all-around mentor for
many years, will assist Ray Put
nam, assistant coach, with the
track squad in Anderson’s absence.
Four meets will have been com
pleted before Colonel Andy leaves,
and he will return in time to coach
the squad for the last three con
tests.
Coaching School
Anderson has also just been se
lected as the track and field in

sponsored by the Texas High
School Coaches Association. This
nineteenth annual clinic, to be
held at San Antonio July 30
through Aug. 4, will be attended
by coaches from all over the na
tion.
Aggie track mentor from 1920
to 1935 and again from 1945 until
now, Anderson has produced seven
SWC championships in those years,
and his teams have never failed to
place in the top three. At this
time, Colonel Andy is considered
tops in track coaching circles.
Twelve Letterman
Anderson is a graduate of Miss
issippi College where he won 12
college letters—four each in foot
ball, baseball and track. He played

back in football and favored the
sprints on the track field. He was
picked as the most valuable ath
lete in the Southern Intercollegiate

of the National Track Rules Com
mittee for the past four years. He

Ag Tracksters Win At
Border Olympics Meet
By JOEL AUSTIN
Laredo, March 10 — Scoring
points in all events except the 100-
yard dash, the 1951 edition, of the
A&M track squad showed its
strength by breezing to a 77 Vs
point victory at the 19th Annual
Border Olympics here Friday and
Saturday.
The Aggies closest competitor
was Texas University which fin
ished with 39 points; Louisiana
State University was third with
21 Vs points.
Of the 16 events held in the Uni
versity Division of the meet, the
Cadets took nine first places and
tied for another. In the 440-yard
dash they finished one, two, and
three.
Darrow Hooper was high point
man for the University Division
with a first place win in the shot
put and discus throw. It was the
first varsity meet for the big
sophomore who bettered the South
west Conference shot put record
by heaving the 16-pound weight
51 feet WVz inches. His discus
throw of 157 feet 2% inches won
him first place in that event also.
Probably the biggest surprise of
the evening was A&M’s win in the
440-yard relay. Sprint man Bill
Stalter put on an amazing burst of
speed after the last turn to pass

hold All-SWC guard Jewell Mc
Dowell pointless, but they fell
humiliatingly short of such recogni
tion Friday, while the Aggie pace
setter poured 14 points through
the nets for game scoring honors.
Womack was credited with only
two points, both coming on char
ities.
Using his 6’ 5V frame to full
advantage, Longhorn forward Falk
showed little accuracy hitting the
net four times in 17 attempts from
the field. Completing Gray’s ros
ter tonight should be Don Klein,
6’ 6” center.
DeWare Field House was over
flowing with people Friday night
as over 4,000 frenzied fans stared
in bewilderment while A&M’s bas
ketball team ran intricate circles
around the Longhorns throughout
the game. Capably led by All-SWC
choices McDowell and Buddy Davis
and forward John DeWitt, the
Cadets staged a brilliant exhibi
tion of ball handling and methodi
cal maneuvering that checked the
Maroons Sink Whites
In Scrimmage Saturday
A&M’s /football team climaxed
its third week of Spring practice
Saturday afternoon .with an intra
squad game on the practice
grounds at Kyle Field.
The ♦ two-hour contest, which
started at 3 p.m., gave all the
appearances of becoming a stale
mate, but a last minute fourth
quarter touchdown heave from Del-
mar Sikes to freshman halfback
Buck Gibson ended the tussle with
a 33-21 Maroon victory.
Both units ran well all after
noon—as long as they had the
wind at their backs.
The Maroons scored two TD’s
first, but as the two teams chang
ed position at quarter’s end, the
rest of the first half scoring—two
touchdowns—was done by the
Whites. Both teams started their
paydirt tactics from about mid-
field.
Ray Graves quarterbacked three
Maroon scores while Sikes guided
the remaining two. Bernard Lem
mons, Maroon fullback, tallied
three times. Twice he bulled over

Freshman fullback Johnny Sal
yer bucked over the final for Ma
roon touchdown.
Little Glenn Lippman, running
every play as if a championship
were at stake, scored twice for the
Whites aftej.’ setting up each talley
with long runs. Halfback Augie
Saxe grabbed the third White TD
by going over from the 10.
Saxe had,set up the plunge with
a neat jaunt from midfield.
White Scoring
Directing the three White payoff
drives were Dick Gardemal and
Roy Dollar with the former skip
pering two. End Charley Hodge
kicked the extra noints.
Criswell, Gibson and Pete May-
eaux ran well to the outside while
Lippman, Lemmons and Salyer
gained big yardage up the middle.
End Jerry Crossman made sev
eral fine catches before being tem
porarily injured in the back. Hodge
also sustained a back injury and
will probably not scrimmage for a
few days.
Linemen Shine
Jack Little, Alvin Langford, Elo
Nohavitza, Charley Saxe and
Charles Hodge excelled in line play
while center Hugh Meyer showed
All-American potentialities on both
offense and defense.
Six Aggies did not see action in
the game. Billy Tidwell, Connie
Magouirk and James Prewit were
all sidelined with temporary inju
ries while Bob Smith, Yale Lary
and Darrow Hooper are participat
ing in track and baseball.
I TU scoring to an embarrassing ten
points in the opening period.
Only a minute of play had elaps
ed after the opening whistle when
TU’s Falk counted for the visitors
on a tip-in to start the scoreboard.
Ag sophomore Leroy Miksch fell
victim of an Orange foul a minute
later and counted on his gift toss
to give the home team their first
point of the game.
Aggie Machine
TU’s Womack netted one of his
two charities for the evening and
set the Longhorns back into a
two point lead at 3-1—their last
time to be ahead.
At this point the precision built
Cadet machine meshed its gears
in rhythmic perfection and the
cylinders of Davis, McDowell, De-
Witt, and Woody Walker fired har
moniously as the net strings echoed
nine points for the Aggies and a
margin of six tallies at 10 to 4.
Texas had little success in their
field goal attempts throughout the
first half as they shot. 31 times to
count three buckets. The Aggie de
fense was standing steadfast and
the Longhorns were shooting in
desperation without success.
Last Half
The second half opened with
Orange and White taking predom-
inence, as Dowies and Scaling
counted quickly from the field to
narrow the lead to 21-14.
With only four minutes remain
ing on the clock, Marvin Martin
counted on a charity for the Ag
gies, followed by McDowell’s field
goal. Texas’ Scaling and George
Cobb tossed in three buckets,
while the Cadets remained in front
39-32.
Cecil Morgan counted the last
point for Texas on a gift toss,
while Davis, McDowell, and /De-
Witt shared scoring duties again
to set the final score at 45-33
with over a minute left on the
clock.
Last Minute
In the closing minutes of the
game the Aggies enjoyed complete
control of the ball, backboard, and
game in staging one of the most
spectacular exhibitions of dribbling
and ball handling ever witnessed
in this area. The Longhorns were
without a place to turn and utilized
all possible efforts to halt the Cad
et wizardry, but all was in vain
and the home team had won the’
first of the three game playoff.
