Says Olson: “The intei’est is thex-e. All it needs is pinper pro motion plus imagination on the part of the people who nm the px-o- gram.” Proof of the intei’est was the 4,000 who came to the Pitt Field house to see a Swndish gymnastic team.

The Aggies go up against a powei*ful Kansas field team with out the sex-vices of the Relays’ defending shot put champion, Bobby Gross. Sophomore Herman Johnson, currently leading Aggie shot puttex-s with thi-ee firsts in four meets, could make up for the loss of Gi-oss if he continues to achieve his past heaves. John son’s only loss came in the Pan- American games warm-ups, and that was to Parry O’Brien, world champ. Kansas’ Bill Neider, holder of the Big Seven indoor x-ecord and one of the nation’s leading col legiate shot putters, tossed 53-10% to cop the confex-ence crown last year. Another leading weight man for the Jayhawks is Dick Knowles, wTio hits around 50 feet in the shot and has thrown over 145 in the discus. Johnson shoved the shot 52-1 in a triangular meet with Rice and LSU, and 52 feet in the Pan- American games warm ups. Tom Bonorden hit 51-11% in the tri- angular with Rice and LSU. Another sophomoi-e, Lee New man, teams with Johnson in the discus to give the Aggies top strength there. Newman got off a 142-10 toss in the Boi*der Olympics to win first place hon ors. Oklahoma’s Robert Van Dee defends his discus title after halting A&M’s supremacy last year for the fix-st time in six years. Coach Frank Anderson takes 30 tracksters to the 28th produc tion of the Relays. Fifteen jom-- ney to Austin Friday with An derson, while the xemaining half joins the team Satui-day. “Kansas looks definitely strong this season,” said Anderson, “but if I were picking a team to win I’d take Oklahoma A&M. As they proved in the Border Olym pics, they’x-e a well balanced team.” Another bright spot in A&M’s conference futui-e has been the high jumping of sophomore Frit- zie Connally, who is undefeated against Southwest conference jumpers this season. Connally has eased over the 6-4 mai-k this year, and ranks a definite contender for the Texas Relays’ title. He suffered a sprained ankle last week, but will jump Satui-day. “The loss of Gi-osS is going to hurt us as it has in all our meets so far, but we should come in somewhere around foux-th,” An- deison said. ies Beat TCU10-9 Frog Rally Fails In Ninth Inning A&M scored its runs in bunches yesterday, then put down a wild TCU rally in the ninth inning to squeak past the Frogs 10-9 and virtually eliminate the title favorites from the Southwest conference baseball chase. Righthander Jerry Nelson staggered the route for the Aggies, striking out seven and walking five. An infield blowup of three errors in the ninth vitally helped TCU to put across five runs and place the tieing run at second and the go-ahead tally at first. Then Nelson, who at one stretch struck out four straight hatters, got pinch hitter Mackie Newton on a popup to center- fielder John Stockton. Newton had started the wild frame in the same fashion. The victory gives the Ca dets a 2-0 conference mark and a 7-2 season record, tops in both classes. Nelson now has a 2-2 ledgex-. Only five of the TCU runs were earned, six of A&M’s. A&M scox-ed twice in the second to lead 2-1, then took a 5-3 lead in the foux-th after TCU pulled ahead 3-2. The Cadets scored three more in the sixth for an 8-4 cush ion and built it to 10-4 in the eighth. Their outbux-st in the sixth shell ed stai'ter Bob McDaniel, who lost a 5-1 decision to Texas Saturday. The final two tallies came at the expense of Tommy Hill. All-conference TCU outfielder Les Mattinson, who entered the game with a .167 average aftei- hitting .407 in 1954, slugged a double and a 335-foot homer in thx-ee at-bats. Third baseman Joe Schero led the Aggies’ eight hit attack with three singles. He was the only Cadet with moi’e than one hit. A&M had played errorless ball until the ninth. With one out, shox-tstop Dick Blecknex-, who had made a diving gloved hand stab of Jim Mayfield’s liner in the fifth, let Dick O’Neal’s gx-ounder go through him. A1 Paschal doubled and Chai'les Quick got a tx-iple on a bounder over Joe Boring which rolled to the fence, scox-ing two x-uns. May- field’s gx-ounder was hobbled by Schex-o, scoring Quick. Mattinson doubled to left center, sending Mayfield home with the fouith i'un. Bob White, TCU’s leading hitter at .379, sent up an infield fly, but Schex-o collided with Box-ing who was settling un der the ball, and it fell to eax-th. Larry Rosebox-ough forced White at second, then pinch hitter Chaxles Spencer singled to scox-e Mattinson and put Roseboi*ough at second. Newton popped out to end the game. The Aggies’ two vital eighth in ning runs X’esulted from a walk to Fx-ed Ablon, Schei-o’s single, Les Byxd’s sacx-ifice, a walk to Stock- ton, Jimmy Williams being hit by a pitched ball and an erx-or on Bor ing’s grounder. A&M’s thx-ee sixth inning runs came, fi-om Blecknex- being hit by the pitchex-. Nelson’s sacx-ifice, .Ab- lon’s double, a single by Schero, a two base error by Mattinson on j Bj-rd’s sacxifice fly and Stockton’s sacrifice fly. tcu <n> AB Paschal, ss 4 Quick, 2b 4 Mayfield, lb 5 Mattinson, If 3 B.

Tigers To Play In Madisonville A&M Consolidated’s Tigers take on Madisonville tomorrow at Madi sonville in an attempt to avenge a 1-0 loss at the hands of the neai-- by high school last week.
