Big Surprise of Aggie Track
Team This Season—Brewer
Big surprise of the Aggie track
and field team this spring has
been the fine showing of Jim Brew
er, junior javelin thrower from
Clovis, N. 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.
The Aggies journey to Beau
mont Friday for a triangular meet
with host Lamar Tech and North
western Louisiana. The meet or
iginally was scheduled for Satur
day but was moved up to Friday
by Tech.
Aggies Split Tennis Match
With Tech’s Red Raiders
The Aggies split both the singles
and doubles tennis matches with
Texas Tech Monday afternoon
after moving to the shelter of
DeWare Field House as the rains
came down.
In singles matches Boh Macy
of Tech defeated Richard Halter
of A&M, 6-3 and 6-4. The Aggies’
Robert Jones took Tech’s Don
Scales, 6-1 and 6-4. Deraid Brene-
man of Tech defeated Tommy
Morris, 6-2 and 7-5, and Frank
Blazek won over Tech’s Johnny
Kniffen, 6-3 and 6-4.
Macy and Breneman won their
doubles match over Tommy Morris

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.”
