AFTERNOON, FRI. & SAT. — APRIL 18-19-20 CHARLIES NORTH GATE WE DELIVER — FOOD MARKET COLLEGE STATION Ag Thinlyclads In Dallas Meet A&M Battles USC, Texas, ACC, SMU Saturday Nite DALLAS, (A 5 )—More than 200 college and high school track performers come to Dallas for the fourth annual invi tation meet Thursday night with Southern California’s Tro jans, perennial national powers, favored to win the univer sity class and San Angelo a good bet among the schoolboys. As the collegians—some 118 athletes from Southern California, Abilene Christian, Texas, Texas A&M and South ern Methodist—are swiping at the records wholesale, first and second placers in each event in the four north Texas schoolboy regions will be holding a meet of their own. While Southern California is heavily favored to repeat with the title it has won three straight years, but with Texas having the best chance of up setting the Trojans. The big feature of the university class will be the appearance of Olympic stars Bobby Morrow of Abilene Christian, Eddie South ern of Texas and Max Truex of Southern California. Morrow, sprint champion of the Olympics, will be an easy favorite in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Southern will be the choice in both hurdles and will run on the terrific Texas 440 and mile relay teams. Truex, who has already set a na tional collegiate 2-mile record this year of 8:55, will, of course, be picked in his specialty. The big feature, however, will match Texas and Abilene Chris tian in the 440-yard relay. ACC holds two decisions over Texas while the Longhorns have beaten ACC once this season, the whole thing winding up with a world’s record tie of 40.2 by ACC in the Texas Relays. The Aggies of Frank Anderson will take most of their points in the field events with their runners not in the class with USC, Texas and ACC. Carrying the brunt of the A&M attack will be weightman Herman Johnscon, in the shot put and discus, and Winton Thomas and James Clark in the pole vault. Johnson, only beaten once this year in the 16-pound heave, has a 51-4 to his credit with his long est platter pitch 157-8%. Lee Newman has thrown the disc 153-6. Thomas is undefeated for the 1957 season with his best leap a 13-10 effort. Clark has tied the big senior once and owns a 13-3 vault. The A&M mile relay quartet of Ed Bussa, Andy Erisman, Ronnie Kirkpatrick and Bob McKnight have been consistent winners, los ing only to Texas in dual or triangular competition.

Coombs, who earned his nick name by pitching, and winning, three World Series games in a period of five days and hurling a 24-inning game back with the fa mous old Philadelphia Athletics, died suddenly here Monday. Messages to Coomb’s widow came from such all-time greats as Lenox “Home Run” Baker and Coombs’ old catcher with the Ath letics, Ira Thomas, who himself is ill with a heart ailment. Coombs pitched for Connie Mack’s Athletics from 1906 through 1914 and was baseball coach at Duke for 28 years. He retired from coaching three years ago and came here to live. Connie Mack Jr., who called Mrs. Coombs “Aunt Mary” wired from Fort Myers, Fla. Wallace Wade, former Duke football coach and athletic director, said “Coombs’ death is a great loss to all of us.” Just The Place To Take Your Date To Dine Our intimate, friendly atmosphere will make complete the picture of that perfect evening you’re planning for your date during the Cotton Ball Weekend.
