Mile Relay Team Shattered;
Only Norris Returns In '54
. The mile relay team which re
presented A&M in the SWC track
and field meet Saturday in Fort
Worth will be riddled by grad
uation.
Always one of the favorite
ti'ack events with Col. Anderson,
Aggie track coach, the Aggie en
try next year will find only Frank
Norris returning to form a base
around which Anderson must start
building in order to come up with
BIG BAT LEAVING—Bobby (Tex) Farmer, one of the
leading hitters on the Aggie baseball team this spring, took
his last college swing at a baseball Monday in the double-
header at Kyle Field against the Texas Longhorns.
Texas Giosen
For Playoffs
Blaine Will Return;
May Also Try Mile
Texas moved right into the re
gion G playoffs with the double
victory over the Aggies Monday
on Kyle Field.
Finishing the conference race in
a tie with SMU with 12 wins and
three losses, Texas was chosen by
the NCAA selection committee to
represent the SWC on the strength
of Texas having scored two wins
over SMU during season play.
Pete Jones, Baylor baseball
coach, who is chairman of the
selection committee, said the com
mittee knew at the time it picked
Texas, that a conference faculty
committee had ordered a playoff
between Texas and SMU.
Jones said the committee is
authorized to select the Southwest
Conference representative and
chose Texas without waiting for
the playoff because of Texas’ two
wins over SMU in conference play.
He said this followed a pre
cedent established in 1946 when
Arkansas was picked to play in the
Cotton Bowl game after Arkansas
had beaten Rice during the season.
He added the same practice was
followed on different occasions in
basketball and baseball.
Texas now must meet Arizona,
the Border Conference champion,
in a playoff to determine the re
gion 6 representative in the NCAA
tournament in Omaha, Neb., June
11.

James Blaine was very surpris
ed Saturday when conference of
ficials insisted on holding the con
ference meet in a downpour when
only a small portion of the entire
track was above water.
Denied a fair chance to break
the conference record in his speci
alty, the two mile run, Blaine is
already looking forward to an
other chance in next year’s con-

ference meet, although he expects
to compete in both the mile and
two mile events.
Running in water which ob
scured the track and made it im
possible to go after the record,
Blaine splashed around the oval
eight times to win the two mile
event in 9:39.9, breaking the tape
many yards ahead of the other
runners.
another strong team in the event.
However, it often turns out that
in races where Anderson seems to
be most completely stripped that
he shows up with a dark horse
runner or field eventer to make his
track team formidable in almost
every event.
Writers who are already hang
ing the crepe for the Aggie track
team next season may be a little
premature. The Cadets would like
very much to add another track
title to their record, and they
figure that next year is as good as
any to do it.
Newman’s Elect
Uptmore President
Ted Uptmore, ag ed. major from
West, was elected 1953-54 president

Frank Urbanic is the new secre
tary. John Fetter and Frank
Adamcik were elected treasurer
and reporter, respectively.
OUTSTANDING SOPH—Bobby Jack Gross will move into
the favorite’s spot next spring in both the shot put and
discus on the strength of his work during the past season
in those events. Gross consistently put the shot around 50
feet during the season, and tossed the discus over 140 feet
in several meets, making him tops in the conference as far
as next year’s prospects are concerned. Under Col. An
derson’s expert coaching, Gross showed remarkable de
velopment in the two events, and figures to better distances
next season with the added experience.
