TRACK NEEDS PROMOTION
PITTSBURGH — The University
of Pittsburgh’s veteran track coach
Cax-1 Olson believes the people of
this city could be made to like
track and field, wrestling, gymnas
tics and other such spoiTs.
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.

In shooting for its fifth
straight shot put championship
at the Texas Relays at Austin
Friday and Satui-day, A&M’s
strong team of weightmen face
its stiffest test of the season.
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.
