Mexico Track
"One of Most
Meet Called
Interesting 11
Aggies who attend the track and
field meet between A&M and the
National track team of Mexico here
next Saturday will witness one of
the most interesting* meets they
have ever seen, said A&M Track
Coach Frank Anderson.
“Mexico is becoming track con-
cious” said Anderson, arid “they
are working to become an out
standing competitive figure in the
world Olympic games.”
“I hope that the Aggies will en
courage their efforts by coming
to the meet Saturday”, he said.
The meet is sponsored by the
College Station Kiwanis club. Ad
mission will be 50 cents for adults
and 25 cents for students. “Less
than the price of a picture show,”
said Anderson, “And should prove
to be far more interesting.”
Evets in Metric Distances
All events in the dual meet will
be in metric distances. Field events
begin at 2:30 p.m. and the first
running event at 3. The meet will
be over by 5.
“We don’t know much abolt in
dividuals”, said Anderson, “But
they have a pole vaulter who has
vaulted over 14 feet, and a shot
and discus man who has hit 46 and
150 feet in these two events.”
The meet will feature Jorge Aq-
uirre, who holds the Mexico re
cord in the high jump at 6 feet,
the broad jump at 22 feet, 6 in
ches, and the hop-step and jump
at 46 feet, 8 inches.
Ags Hurt by Injuries
“They will have a good chance
to win the meet, since we aren’t
used to events like the 400 meter
hurdles and the hop-step and
jump,” said Anderson. “We will
also be handicapped by the loss
of Glenn Blake in the hurdles and
distance runner James Blaine, who
are out with injuries.”
An adder attx*action will be a
dual between the national women’s
team of Mexico and the Texas Am
ateur Athletic Union girls. The
girls will hold the same events as
the men, with the exception of the
pole vault, broad jump and track
events over 100 meters. Each wo
men’s event will be run after the
men’s. The two girls teams have

The gate receipts will go to the

team are paying their own way
down in order to participate, but

The Mexico team plans the lar
gest track program in their his

‘Outlook Good’—Bell
