Davis, now an oil company rep resentative from Houston, finally achieved his coveted goal of bet tering the 12-year-old world mark of 6-11 after several frustrations because of faulty take-offs. DaAds actually cleared 6 feet, 11% inches, but under an AAU ruling the mark officially was one-eighth of an inch less. This is because in records considera tion the new height must be at least one-quarter inch better than the old mark. The gangling Texan tried again at 7 feet, 14 inch before a tense crowd of 7,000 at the Dayton High School Stadium and almost cleared it on his last attempt. He was Fifth Annual Meet Set for Aggie Pool The fifth annual College Station Swimming Championships have been scheduled for July 10, 11 and 12 in the A&M pool. The meet is directed by Aggie swimming coach Art Adamson and is spon sored by the College Station Rec reation Council. Trophies and med als for the meet have been donated by Bryan and College Station serv ice clubs and businessmen.

AND ' «SUSPENSE! * A i.arthu* s Yy jai RANK pioudtx presents starring Jean SIMMONS "" * CRUMS'* Tfs*er HOWARD over, but blushed off the bar com ing down. The old world mark was set by Les Steers at Los Angeles June 17, 1941. Davis topped the 6-11 record last year and earlier this year, only to have the efforts dis counted. His epic jump came shortly after Wes Santee of Kan sas had failed in an expected try at a four-minute mile, winning in the respectable time of 4:07.6 to shatter a 34-year-old meet mark. In his final try at 6-11 *4, de fending meet champion Davis cleared the bar without even touch ing it. He dragged off the bar with his foot on his first effort, and scraped it off with his lower body on the second try. As soon as he landed in the pit, Davis sprang to his feet glee fully. At least 100 persons, in cluding officials and photograph ers, rushed around to congratulate him as the height was re-measur ed for an official stamp of ap proval. Davis last year won the AAU crown with a meet record leap of O-IO 1 ^. The new world mark was particularly pleasing to meet Director Dave Albritton, former high-jumping great, who almost single-handedly laid out the track for the current meet and took special pains with the high jump take-off. In smashing the 12-year-old former world mark of 6-11 set by Les Steers, the 6-foot, 8-inch Davis stole the spotlight from fleet and brawny rivals who set eight other new meet marks in the two-day meet. The gangling Davis, who re sides in Houston, but calls Neder land, Texas, his home town, was a polio victim at nine, just 14 years ago, and it was feared he might never walk again. Before he enrolled at A&M, Da vis never had formal track expe rience, He excelled in high school basketball and that won his way to A&M. As a freshman, he was lured into track by Col. Frank Anderson, Aggie track coach, although Walt protested he knew nothing of the sport. “If I report for track,” Davis recalled arguing with Anderson, “do I have to take basketball spring practice too”? Anderson said he would be excused from basketball workouts. That was the birth of the leap ing career of Davis, who last year won the Olympic title with a 6- foot, 8 32/100 inches jump. Davis long has sought Steers’ world mark. Twice before he bet tered 6-11, but faulty take-offs nullified the efforts. Albritton gave Davis the alu minum cross-bar as a souvenir. “When he goes up,” said Al britton, he takes it slow and easy, very rhythmic. Nothing hurried about him. He uses the western roll, I used to stomach roll. But you can’t argue with a world rec ord.” Majors Split Opening Series Opening before a record-break ing crowd of 2,300 baseball fans, the Bryan Majors dropped the home opener slugfest to the Wi chita Falls Spudders Saturday night by a 13-8 margin at Travis Park. The Spudders unlimbered their heavy barrage bats for the eve ning, and slammed out 15 solid base hits off a tired Bryan hurling staff just returned from a road trip during which they had won five out of eight. Four homers, a triple, and a double by the College Station Wins First Game In Legion Playoff The College Station nine took the first game of the series from Bryan in the American Legion playoff for the District 9 title. Played Saturday on Kyle Field, the game ended with College Sta tion on the big end of a 5-3 score. Pete Hickman, doing the mound chores, kept the boys from Bryan tamed as he hurled a four hitter. Melvin Free was his catcher. Pinky Cooner, slamming a triple, and Travis Engelbrecht, rapping a double, were the big guns of the College Station team. College Station picked up a inn in the first and two each in the third and fourth innings. Bryan’s tallies came singly in the fourth, sixth and seventh. Saturday’s game was the first of a best two-out-of-three series. The second contest is scheduled in Bry an on July 7 or 8. If the third game is necessary to decide who are the champs, it will be played July 11 on Kyle Field. Practice Teaching Schools Are Picked Fourteen high school Vocational Agriculture Departments were ten- atively evaluated by M. N. Abrams and J. R. Jackson, members of the Agricultural Education staff, for possible use as practice teaching centers during the next school year, said E. V. Walton, Head of the Department. The state ha^ developed high standards for practice teaching centers. Local programs must have a good supervised farming pro gram, a functioning adult edu cation program, good public rela tions, and adequate shop and class rpom facilities to enable the stu dent teacher to get experience under the best possible conditions. In addition, the local school ad ministration must approve the use of their department for practice teaching purposes and the high school must pass the requirements of the Texas Education Agency, Walton said. # I.OLANNS FOR HAPPY MUSIC • g t/j w LOUANNS d f* a £ 5* Every Friday © K Happy Music With a h s» £ Cell Block d d d s § Seven MUSIC • Make • £ Your Reservations g 1 NOW d > a: > a. 1 Call EM-2688 ai ’ 1 § S •(, I LOUANNS £ * | Oreenville and Lovers Lane d § at Central Expressway § - — - * i . • LOCAXNS FOB HAPPY MUSIC 9 Aggie-Ex Tanker Chief Navy Lieutenant Clifford F.

Alexander reported to the Elkhorn from Staff Headquarters, 12th Naval District, San Francis co, Calif. Spudders gave the visitors a lead which the Majors could not over come. Bryan scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning after the Spudders had tallied once in the top of that frame, but the visitors scored five times in the second, twice in the fourth, three times in the fifth, and twice again in the sixth inning to ice away the game. Although they chalked up 11 base hits themselves, the Saturday loss dropped the Majors into sec ond place in the Big State League, one-half game behind the Tyler East Texans, who moved into the top spot with a 3-1 win over the Austin Pioneers. In the Sunday games, Bryan moved back into first with a 4-3 win in the final game with the Wichita Falls Spudders, while Ty ler was taking a 9-0 pasting from the Pioneers. Vic Stryska, Major pitcher, went all the way to pick up the win, and gave up seven hits while the Majors were picking up eight bin- gles. Bryan opened the scoring in the second inning after two were out. Frank Scarpace rapped out a double and scored on Stryska’s double to center. After the Spudders had scored once in the fourth inning and twice in the seventh to take a 3-1 lead, the Majors tallied three times in the bottom of the seventh to end the evening’s scoring.
