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.

‘Iron Man ’ Coombs Dies
PALESTINE, Tex. </P> — John
“Iron Man Jack” Coombs, one of
baseball’s immortals, was buried
here Tuesday as messages poured
in fr*om the greats of the game.
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.”
