Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, May 13, 1954 Five SWC Records In Danger Saturday A&M will send 39 athletes to Waco for the annual South west conference spring meet today, tomorrow and Saturday. Most of the men—35—will be tracksters. The rest in clude three tennis players and a golfer. Dave Vandervoort will represent the A&M links squad and Bob Kerr, Bill Ashburn and Frank Holbrook will be en tered in the SWC tennis tournament. At least five conference track records will be in jeopardy at the meet in Waco. A shot at the one hundred yard dash record will be made by UT’s Dean Smith, who has bested the record in other com petition this season. His best time for the event this year is a 9.3, which ties the world record The sprint relay record will be up for shattering when the Longhorns’ fine team comes onto the track. They have run the event in 40.3 this spring, to best the existing SWC record by 0.8 second. The Aggies’ Jim Blaine will be out to lower the mile record, which was set in 1949 by A&M great, J. D. Hampton. The mark is 4:17.2. Blaine ran a 4:18.4 in the triangular meet here last week. Only one record was broken or equaled at last year’s meet in Fort Worth. It was the shot put which A&M’s Harrow Hooper pushed 55-5V2 feet, for a new conference record. Records which could be broken at Waco tomorrow or Saturday are the 440-yard relay, mile run, mile relay, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and broad jump, although the broad jump is a slim possibility Following is the list of Aggie trackmen Coach Frank G.

Andy Next Year’s Tract, Outlook Seems Dim By J. EARSEL CARRELL Battalion Sports Writer A&M will lose 10 senior track men to graduation this .year. Among the graduating seniors is distance man Jim Blaine. Blaine’s mile and two-mile performances will be missed considerably by the Aggies next year. Coach Frank G. (Col. Andy) An derson, veteran Aggie mentor, pre dicts a weaker running team for next season and a stronger ‘field team. One of the team’s shining pros pects in the field events is Winton Thomas, freshman pole vaulter who has equaled 13 feet this season. Two other freshmen are expected by Col. Andy to do well in discus and shot. He anticipates Aggies finishing in the top four places in shot and discus. Bobby Gross, top shot and discus contender in the conference this season, will return next year, as will Tom Bonorden, number two shot man. - Bonorden lost to- four -competi tors from other conference schools as a freshman, but has bested all four of -them in • meets this year. Herman Johnson of the Fish team has put the shot 49 feet and is eipect'ed to do better next season. The Aggies will lose nearly the entire 440-yard relay team and mile relay team with the graduation of Carol Libby, Gerald Stull and Frank Norris. In addition, Dale DeRouen, this year’s captain, will be lost in the mile; James Earle will be put of the pole vault, Glenn Blake will graduate out of the hurdles, as will Tom Dollahite; DoLlahite’s loss will also be felt in the javelin, as will Pete May- eau’s leaving. Marvin Swink, high jumper, is also graduating.
