THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggie Thiniy-Clads Take Second in Triangular Meet For the second time in four days, A&M’s tracksters met defeat at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, (!7 1/G to 58 5/6, the University of Houston trailing with 44 points. The Longhorns were again led by their fine crew of sprinters, but A&M’s distance trio of team-cap- tain Dale DeRouen, Jim Blaine, and Verlon Westmoreland stole some of their thunder, taking top ENDS TODAY . . . By Popular Demand — Now Can Be Seen In 2D—Without Glasses Rita Hay worth — in — “MISS SADIE THOMPSON” honors in both the mile and two mile. Coaches Frank Anderson and Ray Putnam had scratched West moreland in the mile in order to have a fresh man in the two mile. The strategy paid off with the trio 4 finishing together some 40 yards ahead of Texas’ Cantu. Sharing honors with the dist ance men were weightmen Bobby Gross and Tom Bonorden. Cross repeated Saturday’s performance of capturing first place in both the shot-put and discus, with Bon- orden taking both thirds. In general, performances were a bit off Saturday’s results at the Border Olympics. Notable excep tions were Norvey’s vault of 13' 0" and the University of Hous ton’s fine mile relay time of 3:17.6. Both of these performances would have won gold medals easily at the Laredo meet. Gross bettered his toss one and a half feet, but most of the athletes were still down from the big meet. Competing along with the var sity teams were the freshman from the three schools. Here the Aggies fared a little better. Nar rowly defeated by the Longhorns and trimming the host Cougars by a score of 65 to 63 to 28. Short horn Frank Doughtery turned in a fine 9.5 hundred yard dash, for one of the high spots of the meet. Tli,e Aggies will again journey to Houston this weekend, meeting the Rice Owls and lhe LSU Tigers in the Rice track, at 2:30 p.m. Sat urday.
