THE BATTALION
w^ : Page 3
In Tri-Meet Here
Rice To Be Key
In Saturday Meet
Texas and A&M will have an
other track and field battle Satur
day on Kyle field and though the
Longhorns are favored, the Rice
Owls will be the key to the tri
angular meet.
Field events get underway at
2:30 p.m. Saturday with the first
race — the 440-yard relay — at 3
p.m. Admission is free.
Tevas has dominated the Ag
gies in the Border Olympics and
Texas Relays and is favored to
dethi-one A&M this season as
Southwest conference champs.
But in the three-way meet the
point spread is much closer than
in the big relay carnivals. The big
question Saturday is: How much
will Rice contribute ?
In a recent three-way meet at
Houston between A&M, Texas and
the Cougars, the UH squad helped
the Longhorns eight points—the
amount Texas defeated A&M.
In that meet, the Cougars won
the javelin and mile relay and
took second in the shot put and
discus while winning third in the
100 and second in the 220-yard
dash.
Rice’s key men Saturday are
expected to be Stephen James, pole
vaulter who is undefeated in con
ference competition and Harold
Griffen, the Owls’ groat 440-yard
star.
Jack Robinson of the Dodgers
has hit above .300 his last five
seasons.

The Longhorns are expected to
sweep the dashes, win the broad
and high jump and will be gun
ning for a world mark in the dash
relay. The foursome of Dean
Smith, Alvin Frieden, Jerry Prewit
and Charley Thomas ran the fast
est 440-yard relay in history
around two turns at the Texas Re
lays and was just three-tenths of
a second off the world record of
:40.5.
A&M will be strongest in the
shot put and discus where Bobby
Gross and Tom Bonorden rule the
roost, and in the mile and two-mile
races with Jim Blaine, Dale De-
Rouen and Verlon Westmoreland
carrying the baton. In the jave
lin, A&M has Pete Mayeaux, SWC
champ.
Col. Frank G. Anderson, veteran
Aggie coach, figures the mile re
lay will be the deciding factor
Saturday.
The Longhorns, with the strong
Dick Forrester anchoring, have de
feated the Aggies three times this
year but the spread has been thin.
A&M’s mile relay crew will be
Frank Norris, Carol Libby, Gerald
Stull and either Terry Vetters or
Wallace Kleb.
LEADING HITTER—Les Byrd, Aggie first baseman, is
sporting a .313 batting average. Playing in 10 games,
Byrd has made 10 hits in 32 times at bat. He has six
runs batted in to his credit to tie for the team lead in that
category with right fielder Behn Hubbard. John Stock-
ton center fielder, is second with a .262 average. Stockton
has scored eight runs and has 11 hits of 42 at bats. He is
tied for the team lead in runs scored with catcher JiAmy
Williams.
