    Battle UT, Rice Thursday
Thinlyclads to Austin
With the cinder season coming-
right down to the wire, A&M’s
varsity and freshmen tracksters
move into Austin’s Memorial Sta
dium Thursday night for the final
warmup meet of the season against
Rice and Texas.
This is the last triangular meet
before the Southwest Conference
extravaganza in Fayetteville, May
11-12.
Aggie coaches Frank Anderson
and Ray Putnam will take 50 of
their thinlyclads to Austin to kick
off the annual Texas Interscholas
tic league track meet.
This will be the second direct
meeting of the league’s “big three”
in track and field. The Longhorns
powered their way to victory in the
first affair, with the Owls second
and A&M a distant third.
A&M took third behind USC and
Texas last Friday as the Trojans
won their third consecutive Dallas
Invitational Meet.
“I was very pleased with our
performance Friday,” said Coach
Anderson. “The boys came through
in some spots I didn’t expect. They
made a fine showing.”
The biggest surprise of the meet

Tournament to be held in the A&M Consolidated gym May

Welterweight Champion mixes it up with switch-hitting

ienced man on the Aggie squad, Adams copped the open
lightweight crown at the 1956 Waco Golden Gloves meet.

Aggie ISine Drops
In SWC Standings
SMU won its first games against
the, Aggies in over a year last
weekend and they were good
enough to drop A&M down one
notch in conference standings.
A&M is currently tied with Rice
for fifth and sixth in the Southwest
Conference,. 1 Vz games in front of
the cellar dwelling Texas Long
horns.
The Mustangs, behind the fine
pitching of lefthander Malcolm
Shaw, blanked the Cadets in the
first game of a two-game series,
4-0, Friday and edged A&M Satur
day, 5-4. Despite the wins, the
Ponies failed to gain on league
leading Texas Christian.
TCU, with only five games left"
to go, stands all alone in the con
ference’s first slot with a record
of nine wins and one loss. SMU
is second with a 7-3 won-lost rec
ord.
The Aggies are sixth in season
standings at present, winning eight
contests and losing 10. SMU is
first among conference teams in
season standings with a 15-4 rec
ord.
This week the Aggies have a full
slate of games on tap, hosting the
Rice Owls in a doubleheader on
Kyle Field Friday afternoon at 3,
and in a single game Saturday.
The games should be particularly
important, since both teams are
currently tied in loop standings.
