to break his fourth record of the
year at the Drake Relays today.
Hooper and three distance runners
will lead 400 tracksters in an as-
sult on the records.
Hooper will compete in the shot
and discus with a good chance of
breaking the shot put record. The
Drake shot put record is 55 feet,
IVz inches set by Jack Torrance of
LSU in 1934. Hooper has put the
shot 56 feet, 2% inches in the
Texas Relays and 55 feet, e 1 /^
inches at Kansas.
Running for Kansas will be Wes
Santee, the sensation of the Texas
Relays. Santee will ancor the four-
mile relay team in its fight with
Georgetown, the favorite.
Hooper’s Last Year
This will be Hooper’s last year
as a weight man for the Cadets.
But he will keep his amature rat
ing in order to participate in the
1956 Olympics.
While Hooper is competing at
Drake, his team mates will be
meeting Rice and SMU on Kyle
Field Saturday. The Aggies are
heavy favorites to thrash the Owls
and Mustangs in a warm up for
the conference meet at Fort
Worth.

dale in the field and James Blaine
and James Baker on the cinder
path will be the big guns for A&M.
Marks holds the all-time Aggie
record in the pole vault with 14
feet, two and a half inches. Rags
dale has jumped 25 feet this year,
something no other Southwestern
Conference traekster has done.
Blaine Leads Distance Runners
Blaine will be main distance run
ner for the Ags. He will battle
Lenroy Lowe, last year’s SWC
champion, for the two-mile crown.
Leading A&M in the shorter
races will be Baker in the quarter-
mile, while Ragsdale has a chance
in the century dash.
The closest match will be be
tween the Rice, SMU, and Aggie
Freshmen. The Fish have improved
and should put up a good battle
for the title. Rice and SMU both
have strong teams. In the Aggie
Freshmen’s last outing they took a
triangular meet from Victoria Jun
ior College and John Tarleton.
