Records Slated to Fall
30th Texas Relays
Col. Andy to be Honored
But Aggies Not Eligible
AUSTIN, UP)—Records may fall like match sticks this
weekend with the staging of Texas’ annual track and field
extravaganza, the Texas Relays.
High on the list of possible new records are the high
jump and the pole vault. Those events will see some of the
most glittering track talent ever to appear at Texas Univer
sity’s Memorial Stadium.
Thanks to the NCAA, A&M’s thinlyclads will stay at
home this weekend. The Aggies are forbidden to compete
in any NCAA activity due to the probation, which is slated
to be removed next month. Coach Frank G. Anderson will
be honored at the relays as a member of the 1956 United
States Olympic team.

To date, there are 1,258
athletes entered in the 30th
running of the relays — just
six shy of the record of 1,264
in 1956.
Preliminary trials start at 9:30
a.m. Friday and continue through
the day. Fifteen championship
events will be held Friday night
under the lights and the remain
ing 21 are set for Saturday after
noon.
Among the top-flight competition
who will challenge the pole vault
mark are Joe Rose of Arizona
State (Tempe) and Karl Englund of
Missouri. Both have bettered the
relays standard of 14 feet, 218
inches this season.
The high jump field includes
A1 Urbanckas of Illinois, Big 10
co-champion who has done 6 feet,
8% inches, this year. He will be
pressed by Don Stewart of South
ern Methodist, who has jumped as
high as 6 feet, 10 inches.
The overall field includes sucli
stars as Bobby Morrow of Abi
lene Christian College, the dash
whiz who won three gold medals
at the last Olympics, Eddie
Southern of Texas, who set an
Olympic record of 50.1 in the
400-meter hurdles while running
second to Glenn Davis of Ohio
State, and these others:
Dave Owen of Michigan: has
thrown the shot 59 feet even this
season—the best collegiate toss of
the year so far.
A1 Oerter, Kansas Olympic dis
cus champion and record holder
with a toss of 184 feet, 1014 inch
es.
J. W. Mashburn, Oklahoma
A&M: two-time Olympic perform
er and anchor man for the relay
team.
Joe Villarreal, Texas: set a na
tional record in the mile as a fres-
man with a time of 4:10.
Bobby Whilden, Texas: a mem
ber of the world record 440 relay
team for two years, won 100 me
ters in relays last year.
Kenneth Yob, Colorado: Big
Seven conference javelin champion
with a record toss of 222 feet, 10
inches.
Kent Floerke, Kansas: defend
ing broad jump champion with
jump of 24 feet, 614 inches. The
relay events are expected -to pro
vide some of the finest thialls of
the meet.
A hot duel should take place
between Texas and Abilene
Christian in the 440 and 880-
yard relays. Kansas is favored
in the distance medley and four-
mile relays, with Texas, Illinois,
Houston, Arkansas, and Oklaho
ma A&M challenging.
Kansas also is chosen to cop
the two-mile relay and is the choice
in the sprint medley.
Texas has the nation’s best
time in the mile relay, but will
be fighting Baylor, Kansas State,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma
A&M, Houston, Notre Dame and
Missouri.
Teams expected to dominate the
college class are East Texas
State, Kansas State of Emporia,
Kansas State of Pittsburgh, Lamar
Tech and Howard Payne.
In the junior college-freshman
class, Texas Tech and Arkansas
appear to be chief challengers to
a good Texas team.
The Baytown Ganders are stand
outs in the high school class. Their
chief rivals will probably be Dal
las Sunset, Pasadena, San Angelo,
Austin Travis, Houston Lamar and
Corpus Christi Ray.
All Saturday afternoon Nation
al League games to be played by
the Giants in the Polo Grounds
will be Ladies’ Days during the
1957 season.
WHICH SIDE IS UP?—A&M’s Fritzie Connally finds him
self upside down after clearing the bar at 6-4. Connally
has won the high jump for three consecutive meets and
last week took a third in the broad jump.
Hints of Trades
Dressen Confident
Senators Better
SAVANNAH, Ga., UP)—Chuck Dressen still is hoping
to make a deal for a center fielder to lend more punch to his
batting order but confidently predicts his Washington Sen
ators will win more games than they did last year.
As the Senators struggled home seventh, 38 games be
hind the New York Yankees with a 59-95 record in 1956, any
improvement will be appreci
ated by Washington fans. At
least, Dressen did lift the club
out of the cellar finish of
1955.
“I’ve got a ball club this year,”
said Dressen. “Last year I had
only 21 men with injuries hurting
us all season long.
“I tell you one thing. If our guy
Pascual Camilo gets his bearings,
watch out. I’m trying to keep
him in the same groove as in Cuba
where he pitched all winter.
“Every time we talk trade to
anybody they mention, Pascual, Pe
dro Ramos or Chuck Stobbs. You
can see they like biir pitching pret
ty good although our staff had the
worst record in the league.”
Dressen hinted the Yanks and
Red Sox are the most likely pos
sibilities for a deal. Both clubs
have been interested in Stobbs and
Dressen has his eye on some of
that young New York talent or
Gene Stephens, Boston outfielder.
Dressen admits his main prob-

lems are center field and short
stop. In center he expects to alter
nate lefthanded hitting Whitey
Herzog .245 and righthanded Karl
Olson .246 depending on the pitch
ing.
At shortstop, Dressen appears
to have come down to Lyle Lut-
trell, a 27-year-old rookie who
hit .189 in 38 games with Wash
ington. Jerry Snyder .270 who
has been handicapped by a leg
injury will back him up. Dres
sen seems to have cooled on Jose
Valdivielso .236, the Cuban short
stop.
The strength of the Washington
club is the hitting of Roy Sievers,
Jim Lemon, Pete Runnels and the
catching staff. Its leaky defense
was guilty of 171 errors, tops in
the majors last season and the
opposition scored 924 runs, the
worst record in either league.
Lemon, the right fielder, was the
big surprise of 1956 and Dressen
expects him to be even better. The
former Cleveland Indian hit 27
homers, drove in 96 runs and bat
ted .271. His total of 21 homers
at home was more than any other
Washington player ever hit at
Griffith Stadium. However, Lem
on also set a major league record
by striking out 138 times.
With Sievers .253 playing left
field and Lemon in right, the
only open job is center.
Runnels .310 at first base, Her
bie Plews .270 at second and Ed
die Yost .310 at third fill the in
field jobs, plus Luttrell or Snyder
at short.
