Injury Hex Strikes Tracksters
Again--Connally Breaks Foot
Track Coach Frank Anderson
has never lost a dual meet to Rice,
but the Owls have one of their
best chances in years in Houston
Saturday after the injury jinx hit
another top Aggie trackman.
Sophomore high jumper Fritzie
Connally is out for the season af
ter breaking a bone in his foot
Tuesday in practice. Anderson
said Connally was practicing,
twisted*his foot and felt something
pop. !
The break is at the back of Con-
nally’s .deft foot, not his takeoff
foot. Since his right foot takes
most of the load, there is an out
side chance he can compete in the
conference meet May 13-14.
In his 22 previous seasons as Ag
gie track coach, Col. Andy’s track
teams have never been beaten by
Rice in a two-team meet. Last
week, the Owls won eight first
places at Kyle field to A&M’s six,
though losing to the Cadets 84%
to 60% in a triangular.
LSU, which won two first places
—in the low hurdles and javelin—
won’t be at Houston.
Connally won first in the high
jump Saturday with a 6-3 leap,

after taking first at the Border
Olympics and the Austin triangu
lar meet with 6-3 % and 6-4. He
also had a 6-4 at the Pan-Amer
ican games warmpp in Houston.
Anderson now has four men out
who figured to be first place win
ners. Bobby Gross was defending
SWC champ in the shot and dis
cus, but a knee injury sidelined
him for the year.
Bobby Robison, broadjumper, is
still suffering from, a pulled leg
muscle and will miss the Rice
meet. Shotputter Harry Cox is
recovering from a broken ankle
suffered about two months ago.
Connally had a good chance for
the conference title in his event.
Rice had three of its top men
— Roy Thompson, James Pet
ers and Dick Bowen—missing last
week because of injuries. Harold
Griffin, winner in the 100 and 220,
was held out of the 440, his spe
cialty.
The hurdles duel between Aggie
James Hollingsworth and Rice’s
Wesley Hight promises to be one
of the high spots of the meet.
Hight turned in a 14.4 in the highs
last week, fastest collegiate time
in the nation until then, to edge
Hollingsworth, who was timed in
14.5% yesterday in practice. Hight
won the event at the Border Olym
pics in 14.6.
Winning time in the lows Sat
urday was 24.3, set by LSU’s
Harry Carpenter. Hollingsworth
beat Hight for second Saturday
and turned in a 24.2 yesterday.
Another event due to draw at
tention in Houston is the pole
vault. Rice’s Stephen James and
Aggie sophomore Winton Thomas
both bettered their career highs
here, James leaping 13-11, over
the conference record, and Thomas
going out at 13-8. James had an
11-10 at the Border meet.
