By BARRY HART
Battalion Sports Editor
Texas took both ends of last
night’s triangular - track meet in
Austin as two of their fabulous
freshmen stole the spotlight from
their varsity brothers.
The Longhorns ran roughshod
over A&M, and Rice, scoring
82 5/6 points to the Aggies’ 45- •
1/3 and the Owls’ 41-5/6. In the
frosh division the Shorthorns to
taled 58 to 41 for Victoria Junior
College, 28 for Rice, 18 for the
Aggie Fish and 17 for the United
States Air Force Academy fresh
man.
The Shorthorn’s Joe Villerrael
knocked 1.7 seconds off the nation
al freshmen mile mark with a tre
mendous 4:10 and the little Steer
mile relay team, anchored by Eddie
Southern’s 46.4, ran a brilliant
3:14.4 to set a new mile relay rec
ord.
A crowd of 3,500 watched as
the Texas sprinters swept to
eight firsts, while Rice was gath
ering four and A&M’s Tom Bon-
orden garnered the Ags’ only
first position—in the shot put.
Besides running to a new mile
record, Villerrael was the number
two man in the mark-making mile
relay while Southern took first in
the 120-yard high hurdles and ran
a leg on the Shorthorns 440-yard
relay team. Brooks Patrick and
Wally Wilson were the remainder
of the mile relay foursome.
• A&M’s Frank Madura and
Ordnance, Squadron 3 Win
In ’Mural Softball Playoffs
James Welpman tied for first in
the freshmen high jump for the
Fish only first place.
The Texas Longhorn’s mile re
lay team of Lavern Voight, Ralph
Rosenberg, Immy Holtz and Jon
Totz ran to a new meet record with
a 3:14.4 mark, identical with that
of their freshmen, to break the
mark set in the first meeting this
year, 3:14.8.
Bobby Whilden turned in his
usual sweep of the sprints, win-
^ ning the 100 in 9.5 and the 220
in 21 flat. The Texas men swept
all four places in the century.
A&M’s improving 440-yard relay
team ran second behind the Steers
41.0.
VARSITY SUMMARIES
INtAvion Takes Mound Against
Rice Tonight at Travis Park
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Toby Newton, the Galveston
swifty, tries to baffle the bats of
Rice’s erratic’ Owls tonight at 8
in Bryan’s Travis Park.
A&M will play host to the
Owls again tomorrow afternoon
on Kyle Field in a doubleheader.
Game time tomorrow is 1:30 pan.
Newton, a lefthander, is Coach
Beau Bell’s choice for the starting
mound assignment tonight, while
righthander Dick Munday and Paul
Lang get the nod tomorrow.
Seven lettermen form the nucle
us of a Rice team that is currently
tied with A&M for fifth and sixth
in the Southwest Conference. This
will be the first meeting between
the two teams this season, and
both come into tonight’s contest
with 3-6 won-lost records.
Opposing Newton on the hill to
night will probably be crafty John
Wolda. Wolda pitched superb ball
last Friday to gain credit for Rice’s
4-2 victory over the University of
Texas. The Owls swept the second
game of the Texas series also,
while the Aggies were dropping
two to the SMU Mustangs last
weekend at Dallas.
Newton is the strikeout artist
of the Cadet ball club with 50
whiffs in 43 and two-thirds innings.
His record over the season is two
wins and three losses. Munday
owns a 3-4 won-lost record, while
Lang boasts an even two won-two
lost slate.
TCU meets a hopeful SMU to
day in a game that will help decide
the conference championship. TCU
leads the loop with a record of
nine wins and one loss, while the
Ponies rank second with a 7-3
mark. Baylor, who smashed Tex
as 12-5 yesterday, meets the Long
horns again this afternoon at Aus
tin to round out this weekend’s ac
tivities.

CHS Athletes
In State Meet
For Weekend
A&M Consolidated has four of
their top athletes in Austin today
and tomorrow competing in the
mammoth Texas Interscholastic
League State meet.
Track Coach Larry Hayes takes
his fine middle distance man, Dick
Hickman to the track meet to en
ter the Class B 880. Hickman
took second in the half mile in
district, but ran to a first place
two weeks ago in the regional
meet held in Houston.
Sporting one of the best times
in the state, 2:04, Hickman will be
among the favorites to cop the
880 title.
Jo Ann Walker, Margaret Man-
thei and Betty Meade open their
quest for state crowns today in
girls tennis. Miss W'alker will bat
tle for the singles title while Mis
ses Manthei and Meade have their
work cut out for them in doubles
competition.
By JOE DAN BOYD
Pat Brune held Squadron 17 to
four hits as A-Ordnance ground out
a 14-4 softball win in upperclass
man playoffs. Squadron Three
edged Squadron 21 10-9 in a fresh
man playoff, rallying in the final
inning with six runs.
Jerry Harris did a marvelous job
as Ordnance catcher and accounted
for two of the winning scores.
Richard Lott was the top hitter
for the winners hitting clean once
in the first inning and again in the
sixth.
The Squadron 17 battery fielded
Jim Hutchison on the mound and
Dudley Swofford as backstop. A
combination of good hitters and six
walks limited the Sqd. 17 combi
nation as the Ordnance nine rang
up five clean hits, but capitalized
mostly on walks for their scoring
barrage.
Brune struck out six men for the
lead in that division as Swofford
only found three.
Alexander Meri-Akri was the
winning pitcher in the Sqd. 3-Sqd.
21 match. Meri-Akri allowed no
hits until the fifth inning when
Sqd. 21’s centerfielder James Car-
berry and second baseman Ralph
Taylor finally solved his style.
Right fielder Bill Wood connected
cleanly in the sixth with the other
’21 hit.
Johnny New was first, on the
mound for Sqd. 21 and was re
placed by left fielder Russql Mi
nor. Meri-Akri was the first to
hit the Sqd. 21 brand of hurling
and John Marr, Kyle Parnell, and
Gary Proffer also slugged clean
into Sqd. 21 field.
Bob Langford, first man up for
Sqd. 3 drew a walk and racked up
the game’s first run when Man-
powered him in with a nicely-placed
hit. Sqd. 3 maintained a 1-0 lead
until Tommy Keith came in on a
walk for Sqd. 21 evening things up
in the third.
In the fourth inning Sqd. 21
capitalized on walks and errors to
bring in seven runs. Don. Kirk
patrick initiated the volley after
advancing on a walk. Dick Cow
ley, and Tommy Keith also came
in via walk route.
