He is scheduled to run in the de cathlon competition at the Kansas Relays April 19 in Lawrence, which will require him to enter in eight events. Moseley leaped 24-1014 last week in the Texas Relays to finish be hind winner Ernie Shelby of Kan sas and ahead of Smallwood. His leap set a new school record. Mike Hale established the old standard of 24-9% in 1932, and it stood as the mark for 25 years until last spring when Smallwood bettered the distance. Rice Coach Emmett Brunson says that the Rice sophomore should be jumping well over 25 feet before the year is over. He jumped 22-10 to finish in the Florida state high school meet. Last year as a fresh man, he placed third with a dist ance of 23-5%. “He’s the best broad jumper I ever coached,” says Brunson. He does not have a Rice athletic scholarship.

Sophomore-to-be Jon Few, hard- running Fish back from Midloth ian, was moved from tailback to fullback by the Aggies’ mentor. This move was not necessarily in stigated by overbearing competi tion in the tailback slot, but rather it was Few’s hard running that convinced Myers. Other changes found Houston (Austin) product Randy Sims be ing moved to wingback fi'om his blocking back position. Sims was one of the leading Fish ground gainers last fall, Robert Sanders, sophomore-to- be from Seadrift was changed from fullback to blocking back and Harold Labar was moved from blocking back to guard. Powell Berry, a candidate for tailback was moved up on the ros ter from the “red shirt” team. In the new system, the players wear ing white jerseys constitute the first unit, while blue, green, or ange and red jerseys follow in that order. After the first four days of practice, Myers was pleased with some individual efforts being made by three members of the backfield. Gordon LeBoeuf, letterman full back from Port Neches, and Ed Dudley, tailback from Pampa were lauded for their running and ball handling, while Bill Cauthorn was praised for his work on defense. These three worked on the first unit in Thursday’s practice. Myers was pleased with the team’s hustle during the spring drills, but bemoaned the fact that there was little obvious speed present—speed being an absolute necessity for the successful single wing. For this reason, he said that A&M could not be counted as con tended for SWC honors next sea son. The emphasis was placed on de fense yesterday, as the Cadets moved through their new drills. The “sound” method of calling signals has been scuttled by the new coaching staff, and “rhythm” has been re-installed. Under Coach Bryant, the Cadets moved on the quarterback’s voice, and not on a set cadence. However, there are many other changes that are being gradually made. The lineman’s stance has been altered to the thi’ee-point stance from the “all-fours” position once characteristics of Aggie teams. Then again, on the single wing formation, the blocking back checks the opposition’s defense and calls the snapping signal. Pigskin Piggyback Not really “piggyback,” but tackling-blocking practice is what these two gridders are doing. This strange scene might depict the ball carrier being “carried.” The Aggies will have their final practice session of the week to morrow afternoon, leaving 13 more days of contact work out of the 28-day period. Swim Marks Fall Three AAU and American re cords fell Thursday night in pre liminaries of the Women’s Nation al AAU Indoor Swimming Meet with Sylvia Ruuska, Carin Cone and Chris Von Saltza doing the honors. Miss Ruuska, swimming for the Berkley, Calif., WMCA, wound up the frails with 5:06.4 in the 440- yard individual medley, bettering her own American record of 5:48.0 and her own AAU record of 5:08.1.
