Tuesday, March 16, 1954 THE BATTALION Page s Take Second In Olympic Meet liy CHARLES HUDGINS For the first time since they were upset by Texas in the conference meet in 1949, the Aggie track team suffered defeat at the hands of a SWC foe, 62-41. Texas led with a fine crew of sprinters, a middle distance man who turned in one of the finest half-miles ever run by a SWC run ner, and a fine high jumper. Among the standouts for the Ag gies was Bobby Gloss, junior weightman who won both the shot put and discus. Gross is doing a fine job of stepping into Darrow Hooper’s shoes. A mild surprise in the weights has been Thomas Bo- norden, a sophomore who placed be hind Gross in both events at La redo. Dale De Rouen, team cap tain, led the Aggies power in the mile run with a time of 4:20.4. Close behind in second place was James Blaine and a farther back was Verlon Westmoreland, ' with 4:24. In the low hurdles, Harley Har- tung brought home the gold medal with a time of 24.1. The 20-30 mile an hour wind was felt most in the high hurdles, where only three men were able to finish. Tom Dpllahite took second, while Har- tung got tangled with a hurdle and dropped out of the running. TODAY & WEDNESDAY Re-released thru United Artists in MUSS SADIE THOMPSON Wallace Kleb turned in an ex cellent unofficial time of 1:56.0 in the 880-yard dash, only to finish third to Dick Foerster (1:53.7 rec ord breaker) and Tom Rogers, both of Texas University. It was Kleb’s best time in the event. James Blaine had to be content with another second behind SMU’s Lenroy Lowe. Swink and Mcllhenny wound up in a 6-way tie for second place in the high jump behind Billings’ rec ord breaking leap of 6’7%”. After some deliberation among the coaches, the tri-meet scheduled I for March 6 in Houston has been rescheduled for this afternoon. The Aggies left this morning and will meet UT and the University of Houston in Houston at 2:30 p.m. Saturday the Cadets will again, descend upon Houston, this time to match points with Rice and LSU.
