Hooper Leaves For European Track Meets Darrow Hooper, winner of third place in the shot put at the AAU track and field meet held in Berkeley, Calif, last week, left New York yester day with 12 other track and field stars for a tour of the European continent. Texas University track coach, Clyde Littlefield will lead the 13- man team to meets in Iceland, England, Switzerland and possibly Finland, Aggie track coach Col. Frank Anderson said yesterday afternoon. The team from Iceland probably won’t furnish too much competition for the all-star group Col. Andy said. It will probably be more in the form of an exhibition he added. Matches in England and Switzer land will afford the members more of an opportunity to show why the American teams seldom lose a team match. * If the team goes to Finland as they usually do on the trip each year, Col. Andy said the Finns will ^■kobably take the distance events Vpit the Americans would win the * meet on the strength in the dashes and field events. The only other Texan making * trip is Charles Thomas of the diversity of Texas. He won the rnior 200-meter dash at Berkeley last week.

SMU Golfer Trips Medalist; Maxwell, January Defeated Columbus, Ohio, June 28—UP)— Texans and other favorites dropped like flies here yesterday as first round play got off to a sizzling start in the 1951 Intercollegiate Golf Championships. Ross Mitchell, SMU junior who ambles his 200 pounds around slow ly on any occasion, scored the first and one of the biggest sur prises when he defeated Medalist Sam Kocsis of Detroit, father of three children, two up. Maxwell Eliminated North Texas’ Billy Maxwell was the victim of the matching upset when he fell before the onslaughts of Tom Crabbe, 19, University of Iowa sophomore who weighs only 140 pounds although he’s six-feet, | into the first round play with a one inch tall. Crabbe turned in his upset over Maxwell with an amazing finish. He was three down on the sixteenth tee. He then birdied No. 16, a difficult par four dogleg, got his birdie two on No. 17,. a 210-yard par three and a par four on No. 18. That threw the match into extra holes and Crabbe took advantage of it by canning a 30-foot putt for a birdie three on the first extra hole to win one up. Mitchell, who stand six feet, two inches tall, wasn’t given much of a chance against the 145-pound Koc sis, who sought a title won by his brother Church in 1936.

His putter clicked off 20 one-putt greens in 36 holes but Kocsis’s game fell apai't in the match against Mitchell. Mitchell Wild But Wins “I shouldn’t have beaten him,” Mitchell said. “I honestly don’t think I played the fairway half the time. But Sam just didn’t play the golf he’s capable of playing.” Kocsis made no excuses except for three-putting four greens. He grinned: “Now I can go home and help take care of those three kids.” Don January, teammate of Max well and one of the foursome that won the team title Tuesday was another of the upset victims.

Vet Village was the visiting team and started the first inning great guns with Bill Campbell latching on to one of Louie Be- lenski’s pitches for a base hit. Things really were looking rosy for the V V’s when Belenski walk ed the next two men, Earl Sher man and Jim Starling and loaded the bases. Hodge Fans Air Charley Hodge, V V clean-up man, made like “Casey at the bat” as he struck at air on a 3-2 count. V V Catcher Jim Wood got another walk and forced Bill Campbell in home to give the married men first and last run of the game. Buddy Davis flew out to Third Baseman A1 Rollins for the sec ond out and then Jim Starling was thrown out trying to pilfer third to retire the side. Rollins led off for the Bears and got his base the easy way as Bunch pitched four bad ones. Campbell, V V first baseman, dropped the peg to first to allow Dave Sheffield to get on base. Campbell was tried and found wanting again on the next play as he fumbled the ball again and allowed Frog Morris to get on. BizzelPs clean-up man, Dick Steige- meyer, did just that as he hit into a one bagger to drive Rollins and Sheffield home. Morris was tagged for Bizzell’s first out as- he tried to come on around third and into home on Steigemeyer’s hit. Davis, VV left- fielder, hobbled the ball to let Mack Howell get on base gratis. A third to first play on a ground er allowed Boo Broussard to gar ner the second out for the dorm boys. Next Bear batter, Neil Bax ter, fanned the air three times to retire the side. Apel Garners Hit Edwin Apel was first batter for the V V’s in the top of the sec ond and got a good base hit. Biz zell got their second double play of the season as G. H. Bunch, V V pitcher, hit a ground ball to Sec ond Baseman Steigemeyer who un derhanded it to Morris on second and from there the ball went to Dick Edgar on first to give the V V’s two outs in almost as many seconds. Campbell selected one of Be- lenski’s pitches to click out a base hit but was thrown out at sec ond when he got ambitious and tried to steal. Bizzell had a field day in the bottom of the second as they push ed 5 runs across on four hits, two walks and a V V error. The Bears picked up their last two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Steigemeyer got on base with an error by Apel and then stole second on the wild peg to first. Mack Howell got to first with a base hit and got a RBI when Steigemeyer came on across the plate. Howell stole home to give the Bears their final and winning run. The game ended Bizzell 6 hits, 9 runs, 0 errors—Vet Village 3 hits, 1 run and 8 errors. Game Re-Scheduled Bizzell will play Dorm 16 some time the first of next week to make up for the game that was rained out earlier in the league schedule. If the Bears win the game they will then play a two out of three series with Milner to see who the league winners will be but if they drop the all important game then the title goes to Milner.
