THE BATTALION
Page 3
Aggies, Rice UT Clash
In ‘Little SWC’ Meet
By BARRY HART
The Big Three of Southwest
Conference track renew their
25-year-old rivalry in Hous
ton Saturday when A & M,
Rice and Texas get together
for the first time this season. The
“Little SWC Meet” goes back to
1931 when the three schools met
the week before the conference
championship meet.
Perennial contenders for the
league crown, these three are the
only ones now in the conference
to win a title. Texas leads the
field with 23 championships, the
Aggies hold 11 and Rice four.
A year ago the Longhorns scored
72% points to A&M’s 67% and
Rice’s 30 as Dean Smith led the
Steer sprinters to sweeps in the
100 and 200-yard dashes, racing
to a record-setting 9.2 century.
The Aggie Fish take on Rice’s
Slimes with the Texas Short
horns in Fort Worth for the
Southwestern Recreation track
and Field Meet. In 1955 the
Fish raced past Rice 76-51.
Fresh from a close third place
finish in the Border Olympics last
Saturday in Laredo, Coaches Frank
Anderson and Ray Putnam are
hoping for their first victory of the
new season. A&M took second be
hind Texas in the track opener
here two weeks ago with the Uni
versity of Houston third.
The Aggies place their chances
for victory in the hands of a
tremendous field squad, a crack
miler and a fast mile relay team
that finished but a stride back
of champion Oklahoma A&M in
Laredo.
Bill Cocke ran his finest colle
giate race in the Border meet,
finishing third by two feet in the
Another Service at Lou’s . . .

Ags Grab Meet Lead
Okamoto Shatters
SWC Tank Mark
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Stealing a page from his Olympic scrap book, Tetsuo
Okamoto darted to a new Southwest Conference 1,500-meter
freestyle record last night in Austin as favored A&M took an
early 14-8 lead in the league swim meet.
The speedy Brazilian sophomore snapped the old record
by 27.1 seconds as he turned in a time of 19 minutes, 21.6
seconds without being pushed.♦
The old record of 19:48.7 was
set in 1954 by Texas’ Charlton
Hadden in the same Gregory
Gym Pool.
Another A&M sophomore, Rip
Woodard, finished behind Okamoto
in second place. The Cadets also
took fifth place. Title-defending
Texas managed to place third,
fourth and sixth. This was the
only event held yesterday.

entrants in the meet, failed to
