The Longhorns took 1, 2, « 3, in these events. The Cadets also scored at least 5 points in every other event except 'the javelin and the 440 relay where4- they garnered a second in each case. Led by the high point man of the meet, Chaxdey Thomas, who won the 100 and 220 in fine times of .9.9 and 21.5 against a 10 mile wind and anchored the winning 440 re lay, Texas won the javelin and both hurdles for six firsts which shut Rice out of the win column alto gether. In fact the highest Owls were able to place was a second in A the 2-mile.

Swimming under inter-scholastic instead of inter-collegiate rules, which calls for short er distances to be swum and limits the num ber of events, which any swimmer may enter. Tech could only win three second places while placing third in the other six events. One race, the 440 yard individual medley, -♦-was eliminated by the rule change. Aggie Van Adamson is the man who usually swims this event, but in its absence he swam his other specialty, the 100 yard individual medley, which he won in 1:02.8. In the opening event, the 50 yard freestyle, Burt Koegl captured first place honors with a time of 25.9. Second place was won by A&M’s Carrol Jones in 26.9 while Tech’s Davis came in third with 28.4. The first Red Raider second place win came in the second event, the 100 yard breaststroke. Street’s time of 1:16.8 was second best to Farmer Rick Black’s winning time of 1:09.4. Paul Walling came in two seconds later for the Aggies only third place with a time of 1:19.1. Cadet John Parnell beat out teammate Marvin Seth in the 200 yard freestyle with 2:19. Seth touched the finish seconds later at 2:27.2, eight seconds better than Tech’s third place Kain with 2:36.5. Sherwin Rubin windmilled to an Aggie victory in the 100 yard backstroke in 1:12.1. John Broker tallied three more points for A&M with second place time of 1:16.3, as Tech’s Morris took another third place with 1:25.1. The fifth event found James Skelton of A&M finishing the 100 yard freestyle in first place with 1:01 while Paul Wottring grabbed number two honors for the Ca dets in 1:04.7. Witcher of the Raiders was close behind Wottring with 1:04.9. Entering the diving events Aggie Craig Patton kept the Farmers in the number one slot as he racked up 203.7 points to win over his See SWIMMERS, Page 4) Soccer Team Slips By Allen, 4-3 A&M’s Soccer Team came from behind to score a 4-3 win over Allen Academy Saturday.

Disputed Play Russell Mayes (BAMC) was called out on this play after being tagged by Yogi Candelari (8) on third base. The decision brought on a very heated argument from the Brooke Medics.
