Baylor Here Friday
A&M’s thinlyclads hope to get
back on the victory trail at the
expense of Rice and Baylor to
morrow at 3 p. m.. on the cinder
oval around Kyle Field.
The Aggies of Coach Frank G.
(Colonel Andy) Anderson will be
at home for the final time of the
1957 season and Andy’s final ap
pearance as A&M track coach.
Anderson retires at the end of the
current season.
The Maroon finished a dismal
last in a meet with the University
of Southern California, the Uni
versity of Texas, Abilene Christian
College and SMU last week in Dal
las. USC and Texas, probably the
two finest track teams in the
nation, ended 1-2.
Pole vaulter Winton Thomas was
defeated for the first time in 1957,
losing to a California vaulter as
the Aggies managed only 12 points.
The Aggies haven’t met Baylor

Red-DefiantLovers
Arrive In States
NEW YORK, (IP)—Harold and Olga Connolly, two Olym
pic champions whose romance defied Iron Curtain barriers
arrived Wednesday with 35 cents between them and plans
loi carrying on their brilliant athletic careers under different
flags.
the obvious question was: Will Olga throw the discus
lor her native Czechoslovakia
or for Uncle Sam in the 1960
Games at Rome?
“For Czechoslovakia,” firm
ly said the former Olga Fiko-
tova, a vivacious, trimly-built med
ical student from Prague who set
an Olympic women’s record at
Melbourne last November when
! she tote^ed the discus 176 feet, 1%
inches.
“I promised before I left home
that I would keep my Czech citi-
zenshfp and represent my country
in all international events,” she
Six Bidding
For Derby

LEXINGTON, Ky., CP)—Round
Table faces the challenge of five
Kentucky Derby nominees today
in the $25,000 added Blue Grass
Stakes as the colts bid for a ticket
to Derbytown.
The Oklahoma .— owned, Ken
tucky-bred son of Princequillo will
tarry 126 pounds in the iy 2 mile
Warmup, the same weight he’ll
lote in the Derby at Louisville a
Week from Saturday.
Blue Grass allowance condi
tions give each of his rivals-
Lucky Dip, Shan Pjc. Manteau,
One-Eyed King and Breezy Night
-121 pounds as nonwinners of a
stakes.
If all start, the Blue Grass will
gross ■ $31,000 with the winner
banking $19,600. Post time is 4:30
p. m. CST.
added in impeccable English. “I
plan to keep that promise.”
“I would like it that way—it
would be good for relations be
tween the two countries,” said
Harold, a six-foot-two, 220-pound
Boston school teacher who won the
gold medal in the Olympic ham
mer throw with a feat of 207 feet,
3% inches.
Dan Ferris, executive secretary
of the U. S. Amateur Athletic Un
ion who joined in a City Hall re
ception, said:
“Under a new Olympic rule, the
wife of an American may com
pete on the U. S. team even though
she may have represented another
country in previous games. Olga
has four years to make up her
mind.”
Harold and Olga first met
two years ago when Harold
visited Prague on a European
exhibition tour with another
weight-thrower. Bob Backus.
r l he friendship was renewed
in the Olympic Village at Mel
bourne last November.
In March Harold went to Czech
oslovakia as a U. S. goodwill am
bassador, and asked Olga to be
his bride but was ordered out of
the country before he could get
government sanction. He waited in
Germany, repeated his requests
and finally on March 21 got an
okay from the Russian satellite
country which frowns on mixed
East-West marriages. They were
wed March 27.
Frank Robinson and Ted Klu-
szewski of the Cincinnati Redlegs
hit home runs in every National
League park during 1956.
Olympics yet this season, but have
tangled with the Owls three times,
emerging triumphant in each case.
“This will be another close
meet,” said Colonel Andy. “The
Owls are always tough, but we
don’t know much about Baylor.
They’re not as good as they were
last year.”
For the first time in six weeks,
the Aggies may have the services
of ace hurdler, Emmett Smallwood,
who pulled a muscle early in the
season and has been healing slowly,
but his value is limited.
Both the Bears and Rice have
good mile relay teams and the bat
tle for the four-lap relay should
be another good one. The Aggies
have defeated the Owls on two oc
casions on the strength of mile
relay victories.
Baylor’s points will come from a
trio of quartermilers, Vic Davis,
J. B. Mitchell and Allen Mayne, a
good 440-yard relay team and
broadjumper — sprinter Merton
Fuquay.
