A A,” said Coach Frank Anderson,
“the boys are going without rep
resenting A&M, just to be on the
safe side.”
Some of the South’s finest thin-
lyclads will be bidding for medals
in Houston. Heralded in the “Cen
tury of the Year” will be Abilen
Christian College’s fabulous Bobby
Morrow, who has been beaten only
once in his collegiate career, and
the Texas ace, Bobby Whilden,
holder of the Southwest Confer
ence 100 mark, 9-2, which he set
last Saturday in Fayetteville.
IN THE BATTLE for quarter-
mile supremacy, the nation’s fin
est, J. W. Mashburn, of Oklahoma
A&M. meets the Shorthorns’ fine
Olympic prospect, Eddie Southern.
ACC, Baylor, Houston and Texas
are expected to stride to a possible
new record in the 440-yard relay.
The Texas foursome of George
Schnieder, Jerry Prewit, Whilden
and J. Frank Daugherty holds the
present world record of 40-1, but
have been beaten by the Baylor
team. The ACC quartet has been
clocked at 40.6 for the quarter
mile.
GROSS AND BONORDEN will
be throwing the shot put and dis
cus. Gross has one of the best
throws of the nation in the disc,
170-2. Helvey finished second in
the SWC javelin with a 198-6%
throw while Thomas and Clark
tied with Texas’ John Novey at
13-6 for the pole vault first po
sition.
Connally, the 1955 conference
high jump champ, will be out to
win fiis specialty, with his primary
competition coming from SMU’s
Don Stewart, who owns the world
freshmen record at 6-10 1 £.
ON YOUR MARK, GET SET—They’re up and ready to
run in one of yesterday’s heats of the 100-yard dash. 190
century men ran in 19 preliminary heats with the first
men in each race qualifying - for the finals.
Join Joe Hardgrove
Boring, Stockton
Signed by Giants
ALONG WITH WHILDEN,
Gross was the only double winner
in last week’s conference meet.
Gross spun the disc 164-5 to win
his specialty and then outthrew
Bonorden on his last throw to cop
the shot v/ith a heave of 53-8. Up
to that time Bonorden had beaten
Gross nine straight times.
In the 1500-meter run it will be
Texas’ Joe Villarreal, who recently
set the world frosh record of 4:10
against ACC’s Paul Johnson who
ran a 4:15 mile last weekend.

Joe Boring and John Stockton,
stalwarts on the 1956 Aggie base
ball team, signed contracts with
the New York Giants Tuesday,
thus following a former teammate
into the New York org-anization.
Boring, A&M captain and prob
able all-Southwest Conference
shortstop, and Stockton, all-confer
ence centerfielder in 1955, will re
port to the Giants’ Muskogee,
Okla., farm club on May 26. Mus
kogee is in the Class D Sooner
State League.
A year ago the National League
parent club signed A&M’s pitching-
ace Joe Hardgrove.
BORING and STOCKTON were
virtually the whole offensive show
for Coach Beau Bell’s fifth-place
Aggies. Boring smashed opposing
pitching for a .341 season and
.327 conference average. Stockton,
although not hitting for as high
an average, was rough with men
on base, driving in 15 Aggie runs.
Boring batted in 20 base runnel’s
and the pair drove in more than a
third of A&M’s 98 runs. .
Boring led the SWC in home
runs, with eight, and set the Ag
gies’ pace in hits, with 29, runs,
with 21 and total bases, with 60.
STOCKTON WAS SECOND in
hits and total bases, with 20 and
36, and third in runs scored with
12. In 1955 his 17 RBI’s were sec
ond only to Les Byrd’s total and
his SWC .278 average was good
enough for fourth among A&M
regulars. Stockton is the only
three-year letterman on the Aggie
team.
Besides being a fine diamond
prospect, Boring made the SWC
honor team m football in 1952,
leading the conference in pass in
terceptions and being named all
league safety man.
