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

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.

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,

“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

few things from Dean,” broke in
Frieden. “In my estimation he’s
the best there is.”
Smith supported his teammate’s
claim a few minutes later when he
flashed past the tape in the 100-
yard dash in a world’s record time
of 9.2. 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.”
