I i In/ IVy • * j Lvrk, Smith Flashes To 9.2 Clocking By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor Shoved along by a 16 mile per hour wind in the sprints, title-favorite University of Texas yesterday won its first tract meet at Kyle field since 1946, creeping past A&M 72 , /^>- 67 j /2 as mercury-swift Dean Smith sped to a 9.2 clocking in the 100-yard dash. Smith’s 100 is one of the fastest times a human lias ever run the distance and bettered Mel Patton’s recognized world record of 9.3. The time will not stand as a world record be cause of too much wind. It only tied as the best 100 ever run at Kyle field, how ever. Carleton Terry of Texas also turned in a wind-aided 9.2 in 1941. lYylM : i: :;i Smith also won the 220 in 20.4, fastest time in the na tion this year, as Texas spreadeagled the field in the dashes, winning all four places in the 100 and 220. Rice trailed far behind A&M and Texas with 30 points, the Cadets preserving their record of never having lost to the Owls here and getting revenge for Saturday’s loss to the Owls at Houston in a tri angular with SMU. Aggie James Hollingsworth won the 110-yard high hurdles in 14.0, also the swiftest time reported in the nation this year. His victory and Harley Hartung’s- first in the low hurdles were the only A&M wins in the running events. The Aggie freshmen outpoint ed Rice’s frosh, 76-51, in a dual meet run off with the varsity match. UT’s freshmen didn’t compete. As usual, the Aggies dominated the field events* taking first, sec ond and fourth in the shot, first in the high jump, second and third in the discus and three of four places in the pole vault. Texas, near-unanimous choice to win the Southwest conference meet at Houston May 13-14, won nine of 16 events, A&M won four and a half, and Rice took two and a half. Emmett Smallwood walked away with three first places in the fresh man meet for the second time in four days. He repeated the per formance he put on Saturday at Houston by winning the 100 in 9.6, the low hurdles in 22.9 and the broad jump in 22-1, and also an chored the winning 440-yard relay. In the varsity 100, three watches timed Smith in 9.2, another in 9.3 as he beat teammate Jerry Prewit by about two feet at the finish. Longhorns Bobby Whilden and Al vin Frieden were close behind as they won third and fourth. After the discus, A&M trailed the Steel's 5414-6214 with the mile relay, broad jump and pole vault left. Don Neighbors’ upset of Ag gie Bill Cocke in the two-mile run two events before was to prove costly, Texas winning the broad jump and mile relay, and A&M tieing for first and winning third (See TRACK, Rage 5) THE WINNAH—Dean Smith of University of Texas (fourth from the right) snaps the tape at the finish of the 100-yard dash, which he ran in 9.2 seconds, pushed by a 16 mile per hour wind. Others are (left to right) Dick Bowen, Rice, Carol Goyer, A&M, Har old Griffin, Rice, King Buckner, A&M, and A1 Frieden, Texas. In SWC Meet James Aims For Pole Vault Record By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Staff Stephen James of Rice trudged wearily away from the pole vault pit yesterday after failing in three tries to clear the 14-foot mark, but turned a hopeful eye toward he c6x‘i- ference track meet. “I think I can break the conference record,” said James, .22 HANDGUNS The Choice of Experts SMITH & WESSON Hi-Standard Rugers H&R’s Colts Long Terms Low Payments Hill,(BIST HARDWARE College Road “I’ve been beating it all year. James wound up his vault ing efforts yesterday dead locked for first with A&.M’s Winton Thomas at 13-8. He soared 13-5 last year to cop first place in the conference meet, and cleared 13-11 here March 19th. The conference record is 13-10%. Texas’ speedy quartet of sprint relay men led by Dean Smith, gal loped to a decisive win in the open ing running event in a fine 40.8. The conference record of 41.1 is held by Texas. “Dean and I got a bad hand- off,” said A1 Frieden, number two man on the Texas’ foursome, “but I thought we were going to make pretty good time.” While discussing the Pan-Ameri can games held earlier this year, Smith was asked if he had picked up any pointers from the other sprinters at the Mexico City meet. “I imagine they picked up a DRIVE-IN ^THEATRE * CHItOKEW UNDER 12 YtASS- rKtfc “GUN FURY” starring ROCK HUDSON —Plus— “KISS ME KATE” Starring KATHRINE GRAYSON TODAY ONLY NOMINATED FOR ACADEMY AWARD!

The record of 9.3 still stands, however, because of yester day’s strong wind. “I didn’t feel any different than some of my other top times,” said Smith, “but I knew it was fast because of the wind behind my back. Of course you always hope you can do some thing like that.” A&M’s Jim Hollingsworth hung up the best time of his career in the low hurdles, and fastest in the nation so far this year, skipping to a 14 flat victory. “It was a wonderful feeling,” said Hollingsworth as he rested on the sideline grass following his tremendous effort, “that wind helped a lot, and I just got lucky I guess.” Fritzie Connally rung up another first place for the Aggies in the high jump, gliding over the bar at the 6-4 rung. The bar almost vi brated off the stand as he cleared the winning height on his second try. The high jumpers faced the stiff wind, and only the spring-legged Connally was able to ooze over the 6-2 marker. “I haven’t been jumping as easy as I would like to since I’ve been working out for basketball,” said Connally. “The floor takes a lot of the jump out of your legs.” As Clyde Littlefield, Texas’ track mentor, walked nervously around the edge of the track he stopped only long enough to encourage his athletes and answer questions. Asked about bis choice for con ference champion he replied, “I don’t think anyone has a clear- cut chance to win. This year there are more than two teams who have good squads. It just depends on how good a perform ance the best teams get out of their boys.” PALACS TODAY, thru SAT Feature Starts 3:37 DYERS-PUR STORAGE HATTERS Students . . .
