Davis Betters Record In Saturday’s meet, Davis jump ed 6 feet, 11 % inches, which bet tered the world’s mark of 6 feet, 11 inches set by Les Steers of Ore gon in 1941. Everything seemed all right. Da- vas made his leap in an exhibition at the National Intercollegiate (NAIA) meet here and a surveyor had been used to see that every thing was in order. But there was one little detail overlooked—Davis takes off farther from the cross bar than any other high jumper.

Frank Smith, Cincinnati Redleg relief pitcher, is the nominal Na tional League pace-setter with a 4-0 record. But Robin Roberts of Phillies has wen the most games, nine, and dropped only three. In the American League, south paws Ed Lopat and Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees, both un beaten in six decisions, are tops. And the spot where he took off on his prodigious leap was on the grass, a foot beyond the area measured and leveled. It was five-sixteenths of an inch higher than the level of the pit. So that had to be substracted', leaving him 6 feet, 10 1/16 inches. Last year, in the Southwest Conference meet in Dallas, Davis, then competing for Texas A&M College, jumped 6 feet, 11% inches. But one point of the takeoff apron was found to be an inch higher than the other places, so an inch was taken off that. Will Keep Trying Davis was philosophical about it last night. “I’ll just have to do seven feet in the National AAU,’ he said. “I hope I can do it. I’m jumping well.” The Olympic champ is not in college any more but is working for Ada Oil in Houston. He played basketball with the company last winter and is making all the track meets he can this summer. Eyes 1956 Olympics The 6-foot, 8-inch athlete wants to go back to the Olympic Games ih 1956 but right now he’s con cerned with jumping seven feet which his coach, Col. Frank Ander son of Texas A&M, forecast last year he would do. Davis is a “money” athlete— that is, he’s best when the com petition is keen. Charles Hold ing of East Texas State had jump ed 6 feet, 9% inches in the NAIA meet just before Davis put on his exhibition. Holding had said be fore the meet he was going to give his pal, Davis, something to worry about.

It has drawn hbors 'praise from those who have yoUl’ tfortunate enough to see it. a fire rector, Robert Nail, says that jJ first idea to final, it is strict- foi- thme-town achievement. The j-jje vela he adds, is amateur in one Reii: only—nobody gets paid for lentire show will not be 1567, or ht to College Station, how ever, the unit making the trip is a large one. The unit is known as the “Fandangle Sampler for 1953” and consists of 80 persons. There will be music and song-— the kind made famous by early day settlers and many of the hap penings of the early days around Fort Griffin and the Clear Fork of the Brazos Country are retold and given life by the actors. West ern ballards and colorful square dancing are features. Local Residents May Go Director G. G. Gibson of the Ex tension Service, said “We are pre senting the show on Kyle Field so that local residents who would like to attend may do so. There will be no admission charge and the show will commence around 8:15 p.m. iffer Chemical ews Grant-In-Aid Stauffer Chemical Company ^h Dr. C. L.

Hall, Department of Physiology and Pathology. Lighting is very important and starting time will depend, there fore, on darkness. This type of presentation is uniqpe in many M-ays but of most importance, it is a fine example of what can be done with home-town talent. We are hoping the entire north end section of Kyle Field will be filled for the show and believe the presentation will be very much worthwhile, Gib son said. Shackleford County Agricultural Agent W. C. Vines is serving as trip manager. No students will be allowed more than one bundle per week. He will be charged $.75 for extra bundles. New students will come to the main laundry to be assigned a laundry mark, said Madeley. The laundry stations will be closed each Saturday, and from June 1 to June 8.

Texas Favored Champs In NCAA Baseball Tourney OMAHA, Neb., June 9 — (A>)— Duke University will lead the pa rade of district baseball champions into Omaha for the NCAA tourna ment opening Thursday, but the Blue Devils are shorn of the favor ite’s role they had before the 1952 tourney. This season Texas, f o r m e r NCAA champion and a district champ for the third time in the four years the tournament has been held at Omaha, looks like a possible favorite. Michigan may rate in this category also. In 1952 when veteran Jack Coombs was making his final ap pearance as a college coach, Duke was the pre-tourney favorite. But after defeating Oregon State, 18 to 7, the Duke skyrocket fizzled and Duke failed to win another game. Holy Cross was the champion. Has Better Club Texas, on the other hand, ap pears to have a better club than last year. Pitching depth is great er and Texas features such hitters as Paul Mohr, junior from Scotts- bluff, Neb. Mohr has clubbed out a .365 average in 25 games, in cluding five homers and 32 runs batted in. Duke arrives Tuesday. The rest of the 8-team field—Boston Col lege, Lafayette, Michigan, Houston, Stanford, Colorado State and Tex as—arrive Wednesday. Colorado State and Lafayette open the double elimination tour ney. Duke meets Texas at 1:30 p.m., Stanford and Michigan meet at 5 p.m., and Houston takes on Boston in the 7:30 p.m. nightcap. Gun Running (Continued from Page 1) States would have no right to in terfere. One informant said the conspira tors believed that guerrilla fighting between conservative and liberal forces in Colombia may provide a fertile field for such a revolution. The U. S. government long has been concerned about growing Communist power in Guatemala, where the Reds have gained con trol of many strategic govern ment positions. The informant said McCarthy has been told that Guatemala may be one of the areas in which the illegal arms and mu nitions caches have been establish ed. Regan’s Jim Martin Signs Letter Of Intent With A&M Reagan’s Jim Martin signed a letter of intent Friday and thus became football property of A&M. Chunky Jim, who was Houston’s only contribution to the 1952 As sociated Press All-State team, will enter A&M in September. A three-year letterman, Martin played on district championship teams at Reagan in 1950 and 1952. He was a unanimous choice on The Houston Post All-District team last year. Baseball Teams Being Formed For Summer Anyone interested in forming a team is to get in touch with C. G. (Spike) White, assistant dean of men, in the Office of Student Ac tivities. White will handle intramural ac tivities for the first six weeks of summer school. The summer intramural program will consist of softball and volley ball between dormitories, project house area, college view gnd any day student groups who want to get up a team. Open tournaments in golf and tennis will be held. Entries for these will be held in the Office of Student Activities for tennis and at the golf course for golf. In softball, the games will be played on the lighted diamond ev ery night except Friday. Games also will be played on the main drill field if the league is large enough. Play will begin Monday in vol leyball and softball, said White. So valuable were Martin’s serv ices that Coach Dan Stallworth of Baytown built a special defense for the Bulldog guard in the Baytown- Reagan bi-district game. At the close of the 1952 season, Jim’s teammates voted him the most valuable player on the team. The 18-year-old West End youth was also an outstanding lineman at Washington Junior High. Martin, a 215-pounder, Avas nam ed to the all-star football squad which will perform here as a con clusion of the coaching school Aug. 3-7. At A&M Jim plans to study business and some physical edu cation. • UOUANN’S FOR HAPPY MUSK • g g i* LOUANNS • Cl > i h = Every Friday © £ Happy Music With a Em j/j Cell Block > Cfl * < s Seven MUSIC • Make • MUSIC Your Reservations NOW s ej £ HAPPY Call EM-2688 tfl 2 »0 K 2 LOUANNS K % Greenville and Lovers Lane < at Central Expressway * ss • LOUANNS FOR HAPPY MUSIC • DYERSTUR.STORAGE HATTERS inoL’icam 210 S.
