With defending champion Texas
rated a solid favorite to capture the
championship in the varsity divi
sion of the Southwest Conference
track meet in Fayetteville, today
and tomorrow, the main interest is
focused on the battle for second
place.
A&M, expected to dominate the
field events, and Rice should wage
a mei'ry battle for the runner-up
spot. Baylor, Arkansas, Southern
Methodist, and Texas Christian do
not appear to have the strength
needed to pose as a serious threat
to any of the top three teams.
“Baylor could take some points
from Texas, especially in the
sprint relay,” said head track
coach Frank Anderson, “but I
don’t think they’ll do enough
harm to keep Texas from win
ning.”
The top varsity performances of
the 1956 season show that the Ag
gies’ best chances of winning gold
medals are in the low hurdles, shot
put, discus, bi-oad jump, pole vault,
and javelin.

to his job has paid off, for last
March the Aggie swimmers cli
maxed an undefeated season by
winning the SWC championship
for the second time under Adam
son’s leadership.
Coach Adamson says, “A boy
may want to swim, but it doesn’t
do any good if he does it wrong.
That’s where I come in.”
Adamson, who was born in Eng
land and became famous as a swim
mer in New Zealand, is recognized
as one of America’s top swimming
coaches. He is widely known for
his ability to take a young swim
mer and develop him into a star.
Indeed, Jose Merino, free-style and
backstroke star from Lima, Peru,
came to A&M because his dad had
heard of Adamson’s coaching skill
and wanted Jose to swim for him.
THIS REPRESENTS a great ad
vancement for Coach Adamson
since he came to A&M in 1934 as
a student as well as a coach. With
little formal schooling behind him,
Adamson came to Aggieland de
termined to receive a college edu
cation. He worked his way through
school by coaching the swimming
team, and now holds a Masters de
gree in physical education.
Throughout the school year in
addition to his duties as coach,
Adamson carries a full teaching
load, being swimming instructor in
the physical education classes.
During the summer Coach Adam
son gives swimming lessons to
children from Bryan and College
Station. He is quite a favorite with
the youngsters, who call him
“Uncle Art”.
COACH AND MRS. ADAMSON
live at 201 South Grove. Their son,
Van, followed Adamson to Aggie
land and was Southwest Confer
ence swimming champ in different
events for three years, showing
that swimming talent seems to run
in the Adamson family.
ference’s second best time, 23.1, in
the low hurdles and his 23-11 /i is
tops for the broad jump. Tom
Bonorden, who is the only 1955
winner expected to repeat this
year, has the top shot put mark—
54-4
The best discus throw, 170-2, has
been tumed in by' the Ags’ Bobby
Gi'oss. In the pole vault, are two
Cadets, James Clark, with 13-8%,
and Winton Thomas, 13-8, own the
year’s best heights. The SWC’s
leading javelin throw this year has
been Oran Helvey’s 199-5.
THE CONFERENCE RECORDS
that appear to be the most serious
ly threatened are in the 100-yard
dash, the 220-yard dash, one-mile
run, 440-yard relay, one-mile relay,
and the discus.
Texas’ blazing Bobby Whilden,
with a 9.4 and a 20.4 in the
100 and 220, could lower the marks
of 9.5 and 20.4 in those two events.
A bevy of Longhorns and a Razor-
back, Ed Morton, are all capable
of breaking the 4:17.2 record in the
mile run.
The 440 relay promises to be one
of the highlights of the meet with
the 40.8 loop record almost certain
to fall. Texas has done a 40.1, a
new world record, and Baylor 40.2.
In the mile relay the record is
3:13.9, but Texas has been clocked
