Three records were broken this year by the top swimmers of the southwest conference. Dickie Weick, an A&M soph, shattered the conference 100 yd. breast- stroke record Saturday night by swimming at the excellent time of 1.03.3 The old record was 1:04.2, set by Crawford of Texas in 1951.

Events in the competition were the rope climb, free exercise, hori zontal bar, parallel bars, still rings, flying rings, side horse, tumbling and trampoline. Gymnastics, a sport requiring plenty of skill, is unfamiliar to the average sports follower. The meet Saturday gave the Aggies and local sports fans a chance to see what it’s all about. Folks who didn’t give a flip for the ancient game may have had an abrupt change of opinion after watching the per formances Saturday. TONIGHT!

Ten defending champs, three of them due to be disappointed, an swer opening bells tonight on a thrill-packed annual Fite Nite pro gram. Seventeen upperclassman champions will be crowned, nine in boxing and eight in wrestling. The feature bouts will be th§ 147 pound boxing match and the 147 and 167 pound wrestling scraps. All six finalists on these are defending champions. Jimmy Earle, Sq. 8, and Pete Ramirez, Sq. 10, tangle in the 147 pound boxing match. Earle is de fending upperclassman 137 pound king, while Ramirez copped the fish 137 pound crown in 1952. Both boys are hard hitters and like to mix it, making for a crowd pleasing bout. WRESTLING Raul Loustaunau, Bizzell, and Conrad Webb, A Ord., take the mat in the 167 pound wrestling spot. Webb is the 157 pound up perclassman title-holder and was fish runner-up in ‘51. Loustaunau was the fish champ last year. Two-time champ Rudy Henson, Sq. 5, battles Jerry Pyle, Sq. 7, the 1952 fish champ, in the 147 pound match. This bout also should provide plenty of thrills. Other defending boxing finalists are Guillermo Cardenas, Bizzell, who defends his 157 pound crown against Bill Brown, A Oi’d., and Phil Randol, A Inf., 177 pound finalist, who defends against O’Neal, Sq. 6. Clarence Gay, Sq. 14, and giant Delbert Davis, Co. C, will defend their wrestling titles. Gay ‘52 freshman champ meets Skeet Cameron, Sq. 4, in the 123 pound final.
