The Aggies were behind an points until the last field event, the discus. Gross’ toss won that event and the meet for Col. Frank An derson’s Aggie track team. In a surprise finish, the Aggies’ Bobby Robinson passed Rice’s James (Popeye) Beavers in the running broad jump to give A&M five points they didn’t expect to have in pre-meet pi'edictions. Rob inson is a sophomore from Bryan. He attended S.F. Austin high school in Bryan. Harley Hartung was the second Aggie to add 10 points to the meet total with his dual victories in the hurdles. He won the highs in 14.5 and the lows in 23.6. Dean Smith, the Longhoin’s top sprinter, finished the 100 yard dash in the near-record time of 9.4 sec onds and anchored the sprint relay team that ran a 41.1. Three timers ta the finish of the 100 clocked Smith at 9.35, but a ruling which disallows half-seconds, prevented them from using this time. Charley Thomas, UT’s other top- aaotch dash man, i’an the 220 in a sparkling 20.6. Splinters were assisted by a gusty 12 mile an hour tail wind. v In the mile, Dale DeRouen and James Blain of A&M ran a dead heat to split fii'st place honors in that event. During the course of the I'ace, UT’s Don Neighbors ’forced both DeRouen and Blaine off the track one or more times with his rough tactics. In the freshman division, the Rice Owlets were first with 59 points, the UT Shorthoins were second with 43 and the Fish brought up the rear with 35.
