A&M Captures Olympic Crown;
TU, Oklahoma A&M Tie for 2nd
By RAY HOLBROOK
Battalion Sports Writer
Winning their second straight meet of the 1952 season,
the strong all-around Aggies scored 60 points to sweep to
their third straight Border Olympics crown.
Texas University and a surprisingly strong Oklahoma
A&M team tied for second with 40 points. SMU was fourth
with 18 followed by Houston and LSU, seven, and TCU, one.
■ <
Rice and Baylor failed to score a point which shows
Rice’s complete void in sports other than football and bas
ketball. Rice is usually the conference number 3 team.
Led by record smasher and high point man Darrow
Hooper, with 10 points, A&M took five first and host of
other places being shut out in only the 100 and 220.
Hooper broke his own record in the shot pushing the
iron ball 53 ft. 8 5/8 in. to better his 51 ft 8 1/2 in of last
He also won the discus with-*
Whites Clip Maroons, 27-13
For First Intersquad Win
Aggie weight man, Darrow Hooper was high point man of the
Border Olympics with his double win, the shot put and the discus.
He broke last year’s shot record with a 53 ft. 8 5/8 heave and tossed
the discus 156 ft. 1114 in
year.
a 156 ft. 11% in. tos^.,
Ace Aggie broad jumper Bobby
Ragsdale tied the old record in
winning the event with 23 ft 6%
in. He was followed by Bill Henry
also of A&M.
Favorite Event
In the Farmer’s favorite event,
the 440 dash, Bob Mays, Jim Bak
er and John DeWitt, all of A&M,
finished in that order to rack up
the top three places and 10 points.
Mays won in 49.5 seconds. Jerry
Steel teamed with the above three
boys to take the only other Aggie
first, the exciting mile relay. Bak
er came from behind on the stretch
to beat Oklahoma A&M in 3:22.9.
DeWitt gave Baker a five yard
lead.
Oklahoma A&M looked strong as
expected in the distant events win
ning the 880, mile 2-mile beside
the high jump and pole vault in
upset wins.
Oklahoma Bill Heard won the
880 in 1:56.7, closely followed by
J. A. Terry of A&M. Norwegian
Fred Eckroff, a fx-eshman at the
Oklahoma school, won the mile in
4:20.4. Jim Blaine of A&M was a
close second.
In the 2-mile run it was Hefnie
Geller, Oklahoma A&M, as the
winner with Aggie Charles Hud
gins making a race of it that fin
ished in 9:43.
Jerry Perry was the upset win
ner in the pole vault for Okla
homa A&M at 13 ft. 6 in. and
Roscoe Vrooman won the high
jump with a mediocre 6 ft. 4 in.
TU supplied the stars in the
short races with Dean Smith far
out ahead of the field with 9.5-
100 yard dash and Charley Thomas
blazing to a 21-220 win. They
teamed with Red Mayes and Jim
Brounhill to set a new 440 relay
mark of 41.9.

Saturday afternoon on Kyle
Field the Aggies displayed the
first edition of their 1952 football
team. It was the first indication
of what could be expected from the
Cadets next fall.
Head football coach Ray George
divided his entire 80-man squad
into two teams of equal strength.
The game was just regular foot
ball in the first half except the
quarters were 45 minutes long.
The full scale scrimmage start
ed at 2:30; howevex*, the first half
didn’t end until 4 p. m.
Whites 27, Maroons 13
The Whites, sparked by quar-
terback Ray Graves and running
backs, Raymond Haas, Connie Ma-
gourik, and Howard Zuch defeat
ed the Maroons 27-13.
Highlight of the sunny after
noon battle was the sparkling play
of Maroon quarterback Don Ellis,
who displayed a sharp ball hand
ling technique and kept the White
lineman guessing most of the time.
Numerous times Ellis was
caught behind the line of scrim
mage with no one to pass to but
always managed to evade being
trapped for a loss.
The ex-LSU star was the first
to score in the initial half which
saw three quarterbacks doing all
the scoring. White quarterback
Ray Graves pulled a one-yard
sneaker to tie up the score 6-6.
Both squads missed their try for
extra point.
Roy Dollar, another White quar
terback and Graves added 12 more

AgNine Drops Two
Games To BAMC
By HUGH PHILIPPUS
Battalion Sports Writer
The Brook Medics handed the
Aggies two defeats in their open
ing games. The Cadets went down
before the Comets 11-2 and 4-2.
Three big innings Friday gave
the Comets their first victory over
A&M, and Bob Tankei’sley, the los
ing pitcher.
Poor fielding by the Aggie out
field and mixups on covering bases
in the infield aided greatly in the
Comets six-run uprising in the
third inning.
Bob Tankei’sley went three in
nings for the Aggies, but was i’e-
lieved in the fourth by fast bailer
Ernie Johnson. Tankersley had
trouble keeping the ball away from
the big bats of Dick Kokos and
Ken Staples and other Comet bat
ters.
Johnson Relieves Tankersley
After Johnson’s first inning in
the game, he settled down but not
until BAMC collected three runs
and three hits.
The Cadets got three hits to the
Medics’ 11. Britt, Russell and
Hunt got the blows for the Farm
ers. Mickens, ex-Ft. Worth pitch
er, kept the ball out of the Cadets’
reach all afternoon.
The Farmer’s went runless and
only collected one hit until the
ninth inning, and then collected
tw r o runs on two hits, and tw r o
walks. Hunt’s hit came with the

Scoring nine runs on eight hits,
A&M’s Freshmen baseballers took
an easy 9-5 victory in their season
opener against Blinn Junior Col
lege here Friday.
Fish coach Wally Moon used sub
stitutes freely as the Freshmen
piled up a 9-0 lead in the first
eight innings of play.
Freshman Joe Hardgrove, pitch
ing the fourth, fifth, and sixth inn
ings, was the outstanding mound
performer of the afternoon. A left
hander from Ft. Worth, Hard
grove struck out four of the nine
men he faced and assisted in. .an
other put-out.
Nelson’s Pitching Sharp
Another Fish hurler who turned
in an impressive performance was
Jerry Nelson, who led off the first
three innings on the rubber. Nel
son sent 3 of 13 batters down
swinging and did not give up a
single hit during his three innings
work.
The Freshmen took to the field
first and quickly ousted Blinn from
the dugout on a strikeout, a fly-
ball, and a putout at first.
Taking over at the plate the
Fish smashed out four runs to
take the lead and stay in front
the rest of the way. Scoring the
first period runs were Jim Par-
x’ish, Claude Northrop, Sam Ablon,
and Sam Rowland. Single hits by
Rowland and Hugh Byrd were the
tools
lead.
used to build the four run
Blinn Held Runless
Blinn was held runless until the
top of the eighth. Their first scoi’e
came as a x’esult of two consecutive
errors in the Fish infield, the first
of which allowed the JC player to
get on base and the second allow
ed him to score.
Blinn staged their weak rally in
the first half of the. nineth when
they gained four of their five runs
off Tex Vanzura, third pitcher to
see action for the Freshmen.
Three pitchers were used by
Blinn, but only six of the Fish
were marked with strikeouts.
Aggie Swimmers Down
NW of Louisiana, 53-31
A 53-31 win by A&M’s swim
ming team gave them their second
victory of the year over Norwest-
ern of Louisiana. Noi’thwestern fell
before the Aggies earlier in the
season in Louisiana.
The Farmers took seven first
places in the ten event meet, with
Van Adamson winning his two
specialties, the 109 yard individ
ual medley in 1:02.6, and the 440
freestyle in 5:26.2.
Other first place winners for
A&M wei’e Ralph Ellis, with a time
of 24.4 in the 50 yard freestyle;
Bill Sargent, whose 2:29.8 was best
in the 200 yard backstroke, and
Tommy Comstock, who took breast
stroke honors with a time of 2:43.8.
The x’elays in turn fell to A&M,
the 300 medley relay in 3:11.6 and
the 400 yard relay in 3:57.2.
Rider, Gaston, and Voorhees
were the only men to come in first
for Northwestern.
