last season and it remained aggra
vated throughout the year, though
he continued to play in every
game.
This spring, doctors took one
look at X-rays of the ankle and
decided that a bone-chip lodged
outside the joint but still connected
to a ligament must be taken out.
The operation will involve remov
ing the chip and sewing the liga
ment back in place near the joint
of the ankle. Crow will go to
Houston within the next few weeks
to a specialist there.

evening spent in dancing.

Thinly clads
With UT,
Open ’57
By BARRY HART
“We won’t concede second to
anybody” emphasized Frank G.
(Colonel Andy) Anderson speak
ing Tuesday of his last Aggie track
team. “We’ll have a pretty fair
team, both varsity and freshman
by the conference meet.”
Colonel Andy takes his final
thinlyclad entry to Houston Sat
urday to open the 1957 cinder sea
son against the Universities of Tex
as and Houston in a triangular
meet beginning at 2:15 p. m.
“We couldn’t beat Texas at full
strength,” continued the aggressive
little A&M coach, “And right now
we’re in bad shape physically, but
if some of the boys come through,
we’ll do all right in the conference
meet.”
The Aggies open against a pair
they have met in the first meet of
the season for the past four years.

Any Aggies not among the select
group who watched A&M’s bas
ketball victory over Texas Univer
sity in Texas’ own Gregory Gym
Saturday night missed one of the
most spine-tingling nights of their
lives.
In Aggieland’s White Coliseum
the high grandstand bars specta
tors from getting close to the
player’s bench. But in the cramped
confines of Gregory Gym the ben
ches are located at the brink of
the bleachers, penned in by root
ers.
If one is fortunate enough to
sit directly behind the bench, the
drama of the game doubled. The
action is so vivid there that the
spectator can feel the tenseness
of the coach and even get a salty
taste in his mouth from the near
ness of the sweat-drenched play
ers.
Such was the setting in Austin
Saturday where two distinct groups
of Aggies made their presence
known. One group was situated
high in the grandstand, yelling at
the top of their lungs in attempts
to drown-out the sounds coming
from the little loudspeaker used
for the T.U. cheers. The other sur
rounded the Aggie bench, and it
was these men in particular who
shared the full drama of the con
test.
Naturally, the Ags wanted to
beat T.U. That desire became
stronger as the Sips filled the
crowded enclosure with their con
fident “poor Aggies” chant.
Another spark was added by a
The Longhorns hold an edge in
the triangular series, winning the
last three after A&M captured the
1953 affair.
Texas took the meet in 1956 with
a total of 78 1 /4 points. The Ag
gies picked up 5514 while the
Cougars had 22. The Fish finish
ed a poor last a year ago with
2714 points while Houston scored
37 and the Shorthorns totaled a
tremendous 9114.
A&M’s two best hurdlers, Em
mett Smallwood and Herb Carper,
have been out with injuries the
last week and will see little, if any,
action. Smallwood, who took sec
ond in the SWC low hurdles and
fourth in the broad jump last year
as a sophomore, was expected to
pick up a number of points Sat
urday. Carper is the leading high
hurdler, having taken fourth in
both hurdles in the frosh meet in
1956.
glance at George Mehaffey, the
Aggies’ injured captain seated on
the bench, pulling for his team
mates throughout the game. A

Aggies had not beaten the boys

(See VICTORY in Austin, Page 5)
Fidel Rul, the Aggies’ fine lit
tle distance runner, has an infec
ted foot and hasn’t run for time
yet this year while Dick Morton
hasn’t worked out in a week.
“Houston has a good running
team,” said Anderson, “And Texas
is loaded. Our field team is ready
as they can be at this time of
year, but our runners will be well
below par.
“We’ll have better relay teams
inside of two weeks and with a
decent break we’ll have about five
runners back by then, too. Our
high jumpers and broad jumpers
are as good or better than they
were last year and we’ve got three
good pole vaulters in Winton
Thomas, James Clark and Herb
Davis.
“Our weights are almost as good
as last year, despite the loss of
Tom Bonorden, Bobby Jack Gross
and Harry Cox, although the loss
of Oren Helvey through ineligibil
ity will hurt some in the javelin.”
