This applies not so much for the softball title race as it does for volleyball, which is threaten ing to demand a play-off to de cide who will wear the title crown. For several weeks it has appear ed that Mitchell Hall’s towering sextet would complete an undefeat ed season at the Grove as they rolled over their first four oppo nents with ease. Close behind Mitchell, but never S' considered too serious a threat, was Law Hall, whose single loss to Leggett had kept them out of a share of the first place stand- * ings. But when the crucial clash be- twetei Mitchell and Law occurred lastT Thursday, Mitchell’s steam rolling machine suddenly ran out of steam as they bowed to the Law squad 2-0, allowing Law to move into a tie for first place and file a strong bid for the vol leyball crown. Law was keyed to the limit as they rolled over disorganized Mitchell 15-7, 15-9.

From Dallas Morning News Helsinki, Finland, July 15—(A 3 ) Lee Ybder, 400-meter hurdler from the University of Kansas, Monday drew the honor of being the first American athlete to meet, a Rus sian rival in the 1952 Olympics. Yoder, top-seeded in the second heat of the long huddle race, faces Timofie LUnv, the Soviets’ third ffeest man. They race at 4:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m. t)allas time) next Sun day in the opening competition. Three men from each heat qualify for the second round Of trials in Ithe bveht. Pi ; e-Olynipic competition started Monday in basketball as thirteen teams began a round robin to de termine the six that will enter games competition next week. The results were: Hungary 75, Greece 38, Cuba 59, Belgium 57, Canada 68, Italy 57, Philippines 57, Israel 47, Bulgaria 59, Switzerland 58, Egypt 64, Tur ley 45. The United States, as defending Olympic champions, and Russia, the European champions, were au tomatically qualified with eight other teams. Tuesday the elimination founds start in soccer with the game be tween Russia and Bulgaria at Kot- ka, 83 miles to the east, the featui’e or >fhe day. The United States mejits Italy on Wednesday at Tam- ^pe/fe, 100 miles to the west of here. The eliminations wei’e needed to complete the competitions within the regular period of the gaiiies, July 19-Aug. 3. * Meanwhile* the political situa tion still simmered. The East German team, mostly yachtsmen, arrived. West Germany has been recognized, and the Olympic com mittee tried to set up procedure whereby a single German team, would be chosen, but the East Ger- per” Robinson provided the Law- ites With the winning combination. On the softball scene Mitchell is coasting along comfortably three games ahead of second place YV-PH. Mitchell has only to win one of their two remaining games with VV-PH or Law to cinch their claim to the softball champion ship, but neither of these is classed as a cinch. Sparked by a new mound bat tery, VV-PH is making a final effort to dislodge Mitchell from the top position. They have risen from fifth to second place in an amazingly short time, now sport ing a record of 6 wins against only 4 losses. But with only three days re maining, the odds are against the veterans of gaining the number one position. Latest victim of the W-PH comeback crew was Leggett, who crumbled to the vets 6-2 last Wed nesday. Campbell was the win ning moundsman with Reed the loser. Still game in the volleyball race is Bizzell Hall, whose squad drove to a 2-1 win over Pui’year last Wednesday. Puryear was armed with only four players, but still they managed to hold Bizzell to a 15-12, 3-15, 15-10 game record. The Intramural Office has re vealed that Texas Geologists have withdrawn from any further com petition in either softball or vol leyball, forfeiting their remaining games. Bizzell, said the Intramural Of fice, has forfeited their remaining softball games, but are still in vol leyball competition. mans would have no part of it. Nationalist China is due this week and Red China was reported en route. Both Red and National ist China have been denied entry on the grounds their dues aren’t paid. The track and field draw evoked unusual interest because of the pairings of United States and Rus sian athletes. Charlie Moore, the ex-Cbrnell runner who is favored to win the 400-meter hurdles, was top-seeded in the first heat against poor competition. Roland Black man of the United States Army, the third American in the event, was put in the third heat, which includes Anatolii Julin of Russia. The draw was completed only for the 400-meter hurdles, the 100- meter dash, and the 800-meter run plus the women’s 100. Heats in all theSe will be run off Sunday to gether with finals in the 10,000- nieter run—which has fifty-one en tries—the high jump and the wom en’s discus. Vladimir Soukharev of Russia, or whom a time of 10.2 is claimed, tying the world’s record, is second seeded in Helsinki’s heat. In the 800 meters, Reg Peannan, formerly of New York University, was seeded third in the fourth heat behind Guenther Steins of Ger many and Pierre Tcevgoun of Rus- si. Mai Whitfield, the American who is defending Olympian cham pion, was top seeded in the second heat, and John Barnes, the third American, was top seeded in the third heat. Three from each heat qualify for the semifinals. The big surprise of the opening basketball play came when Cuba upset a tall and highly regarded Belgian team, 59 to 51. Rain prevented the American track team from working out in the morning, but a short drill was held in the afternoon.

Godfrey claimed the title before the end of the match when, with only five holes remaining, he was seven holes ahead of Hitt. Godfrey downed T. D. Tankers- ley and J. J. Martin in preliminary play before he earned the right to compete for the championship. Hitt won over J. H. Jowell and James Powell in his preliminaries. Brenham Cage Star to Enroll Here This Fall Eugene Bredthauer, star basket ball player from Brenham, will enter A&M this fall on a foux 1 - year athletic scholarship. Bredthauer, a 6’ 1” guard, led the Cubs to victory in the regional playoff after a district 25-AA championship the past season. He was unanimous choice for all-dis trict and all-South-Central Texas the past season. An outstanding ball handler, he led the Brenham team scoring this year with a total of 271 points in 17 contests, an average of 15.94 points per game. Besides earning three letters in basketball, Bl-feadthauer lettered •two years in football. j British Paper Honors Davis “Athletics World,” a British track and field magazine publish ed in London, honored A&M’s Wal ter Davis with a lengthy story and a front page picture in their latest publication. The ai’ticle on Davis x - epeated the tale of his battle with infantile- paralysis and of his bx-illiant tx-ack cai’eei - . It told of his family back ground and about his development from an awkward 6 ft. 4 inch contender into a bounding thi-eat to the world high jump x'ecox-d of 6 ft. 11 inches. Also mentioned in the publica tion was A&M’s other entry in the Olympics, shot putter Dai’i*ow Hoopei’. Hooper was included in a run down of American high lights in his event, along with his teammates Jim Fuchs and Pai'i-y O’Bi’ien. As time draws near for compe tition in Helsinki’s massive Olym pic stadium to begin, Davis is be coming moi'e and more favoi’ed to take first place in competition with the world’s best highjumpei’s. Although many soui'ces point out that Davis is not consistent enough to be counted upon, it must be x'emembered that he is rated as the best among American jump- ei’s, and Amei'ica is somewhat con sistent with high jurixp champions.

College Station Places Second In Swim Meet. Tyler Is Winner By JIM ASHLOCK Battalion Sports Editor College Station’s long domina tion of first place in the College Station Invitational Swimming Meet came to an end Sunday night as they were forced to take sec ond place to a stx*ong Tyler tank crew. Final point totals gave Tyler 295 mai'kers, while the local swim mers tallied 217. Golfcrest of Houston resided in third place with 163 points. Sixteen I’ecords were binken in the thi’ee division meet which con sisted of competition in junior, in- tei’mediate, and senior age gx-oups. Locals Win College Station’s big night in the three day classic came Satur day evening in the finals for the intermediate division. The home. 13-16 age gx-oup splashed to a fii'st place total of 91 points in this division, far ahead of Tyler’s second place 66 points. First places by Tom Barlow, John Robert Smith, and the girl’s x*elay squads made up of Kay Parnell, Ann Copeland, Nancy Hale, and Ann Schlesselman were the chief factors by which College Station took the intex-mediate championship. Tyler Shines Tylex^’s greatest accumulation of points grew mostly from their ovei’whelming victory in Friday night’s Junior division competition. Taking 11 of the 13 events in the division, Tyler’s young acqua- tics shattei'ed foux- previous rec ords as they built up 148 points, more than thi - ee times as many as the two runnei'-ups, College Sta tion and Golfcrest. Both these teams were tied for second with 46 points. Senior Competition Close The finals in the Senior division Sunday night found competition much closer with a wider distribu tion of points over the teams en tered. College Station gained thii’d place with 80 points in this divi sion, enabling them to move into the x-unner-up position for the en- tix-e meet. First places by Gayle Klipple and Dick Weick in the men’s 300- yard individual medley and 200- yard bx-eaststroke were the two registered by College Station in this division. Kneip, Ufer But the greatest performer of the meet was little Jane Kneip of the San Antonio Acquatic Club. Jane, a senior division entrant, performed in five events, breaking two individual records, serving oh two x'ecord smashing x*elay squads, and taking second in the 100-yai'd backstroke. Her two individual ti’iumphs came in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yax*d fi’eestyle. The two relay squads of which she was a member were the 300 medley and 400-yai’d freestyle. Jane alone accounted for 14 of S.A.A.C.’s points while her two relay teams received ci’edit for more. Another outstanding perfoi’mer of the tourney was Dieter Ufer, a junior division . swimmer. Swim ming unattached to any team, Ufer set a new x-ecord in the 66% breaststroke match and took first in the only other event he entei‘- ed, the 100-yard individual medley. Adamson Pleased College Station coach Ai’t Adam son said that he was well satis fied with the way the meet came out. “Of course,” said Adamson, “I would have liked to have seen our kids win. But its not the best thing for you to win your own meet year after year. I believe our loss will do a lot to uphold the outside intex-est in the College Sta tion meet.” Adamson went on to say that he was pleased with the performance of his swimmers and with the running of the meet. “There was plenty of good swimming, we had good officials who kept the events going, and we had a good spectator turnout. "With all that you can’t help but have a good meet,” said Adamson. Besides College Station, Tylei’, and Golfcrest, nine other outside teams were entei'ed in the tourney. Complete with point totals they were: San Antonio Acquatic Club, 141 points; Crystal Pool of Hous ton, 77; Cox-k Club of Houston, 74; Kilgore, 26; Texas Acquatic Club of Austin, 24; Shakespear Pool, 17; River Oaks of Houston, 14; West Univei'sity, 12; Lamar Acquatic Club, 8.
