Mex. Brewer, who joined bis Aggie mates in a quadrangular meet here Saturday against TCU, SMU and North Texas, set a new A&M rec ord in the Dallas Invitational last week with a toss of 220 feet, 11 Va inches. The toss broke by 12 feet the previous mark of 208 feet set by Judd Smith in the 1939 South west Conference meet. The 180-pounder, who came to A&M as a half-miler, hit his pre vious high mark of 199 feet plus in a triangular at Dallas two weeks ago. He has been showing marked improvement weekly. Brewer was a freshman half- miler when Coach Charles Thomas arrived at Aggieland in the sum mer of 1958 but decided to give up the 880 and concentrate on the javelin last year. After throwing the spear 222 feet in an AAU meet last summer Brewer began his training in earn est. In addition to a regular weekly weight program at A&M Brewer swings a heavy sledge hammer as much as he can to im prove his wrisj; action. Brewer performed for the home folks on Kyle Field Saturday in A&M’s last home meet of the sea son. Seven new season highs were posted by A&M, winners of Sat urday’s meet against SMU, North Texas and TCU.

Formality Remai ns To Start NBA West NEW YORK OP)—Only the for mality of a league vote remained today and the National Basketball Assn, will reach out to the West Coast. The last big barrier to the trans fer of the Minneapolis franchise to Los Angeles was hurdled Tuesday night in Los Angeles when the Coliseum Commission agreed to lease the 14,000-seat sports arena to the NBA team. That means owner Robert Short of the financially-insolvent Min neapolis Lakers will take his team west if the' rest of the league areas. “All other things being equal,” said NBA President Maurice Pod- oloff, “I can see no opposition. “The only problem we have is the schedule. We will work one out so that all the other teams get a fair crack at the West Coast. This is not an impossible task.” GO WESTERN IN COMPLETE STOCK AT Your LEON B.
