At Kansas Relays
The 10-man cinder squad Col.
Frank Anderson took to Manhat
tan, Kans., last week did a pass
able job of collecting points and
showed great strength in the mile
relay.
The mile relay team, while they
didn’t win that event, ran the dis
tance in 3:1G.0, the fastest time
they’ve clocked this year, and in
the bargain beat Texas, OU and
Oklahoma A&M, three teams which
beat them at the Sugar Bowl in
December.
Mile relay runners and their
times are Jerry Stull, 50.5; Carol
Libby, 48.4; Frank Norris, 48.3,
and Wallace Klcb, 48.8.
In other events, the Aggies lost
a first in shot put because star-
weight man Bobby Gross had a sore
wrist. Gross lost his first place
by less than a foot at a distance
he normally bests, 51 feet.
Gross has heaved the shot as
far as 54 feet this season. He also
picked up a second in the discus
throw.
Pete Mayeaux, Aggie javelin
hurler, took a third in that event.
The Cadets’ four mile relay team
was second and was paced by Dale
DeRouen, Jim Blaine, Bill Cocke
and Verlon Westmoreland.
On April 15, the Aggies downed
SMU and Rice in a triangular meet
in Dallas.
Col. Anderson will send three of
his outstanding performers to the
Drake relays Saturday in Des
Moines, Iowa. Sparking the ag
gregation will be two-miler Blaine.
Harley Hartung, the sophomore
surprise in the 120 hurdles, and
weight man Gross will accompany
Blaine to the Drake meet.
After the relays, the Aggies’ next
meet is a four-way match against
Texas, SMU and the University of
Southern California May 1 in Dal
las.
“12th Man”
At TU (Tulsa)
Wins Shot Put
An undermanned Tulsa track
team was mauled 97-34 yester
day by Oklahoma Baptist Uni-
versity but the margin of de
feat would have been greater
without the help of a bystand
er.
Unable to field men in six
events, Tulsa called over the
loudspeaker for a volunteer to
represent the school in the
shot put.
Barry Koonce, 210-pound
Tulsa football tackle, answei-ed
the plea and won the event
with a 38-feet, 3-inches toss
made while dressed in street
clothes and barefooted.
