Littlefield Name Familiar at Texas Back in the first years of the Southwest Conference the big name in track was Clyde Little field. He was hurdles champion and record holder. Littlefield became coach of his alma mater, Texas, in 1921 and in the ensuing 40 years won 24 con ference championships. Littlefield has a chance of hav ing three hurdlers on the 1960 Olympics team, which would be a high point in his illustrious career. There had been reports Little field planned to retire this year. But the grand old man of Texas track and field said the other day that he didn’t plan to step out until he felt Tie was of no further use. That could be a long time and you can bet that Littlefield will be the one making the deci sion, Texas would not want to ever do without Littlefield. Anyway, Coach . Littlefield has a sparkle in his eyes these days that resembles the sparkle of the long ago when he was winning races for the university. Eddie Southern, Ray Cunningham and Branson Returns From DuPont Work Dr. Robert E. Branson, chair man of the Consumer Economics Section in the Department of Agri cultural Economics and Rural Sociology, has returned from Wil mington, Del., where he discussed co-operative market research with the E. I. Du Pont Co. He said consumer acceptance and demand for higher protein white bread is being considered as a re search project. Rex Wilson are the brightest yet. Southern was in the 1956 Olym pic games as a freshman. He was second in the 400-meter hurdles. He’s working for a return to the big show and appears a strong contender. Cunningham and Wil son are sophomores who have har kened Littlefield back to his youth. Cunningham has run the high hurdles in 13.8 and the low hurdles in 22.6. His 13.8 removed the old est record in the Southwest Con ference, the 13.9 set by Fred Wol cott of Rice in 1940. Wilson is concentrating on the 400-meter hurdles. He has done 51.8 in this event, which indicates he- Can hope to contend for a place on the Olympics team. The state’s representation on the Olympics squad could be the largest in history. Two boys al ready have made it. One is Jay Arnette, the great University of Texas basketball player. The other is Humberto Barrera, the Texas Golden Gloves flyweight champion from Robstown. Barrera made the boxing team. Ollan Cassell of University of Houston is a good bet for the 400- meter run and Bobby Morrow, who was Olympics sprint champion in 1956, still isn’t out' of considera tion. Morrow, however, has shown little indication thus far that’s he’s one of the top three sprinters of the country. Injuries have handi capped Bobby arid he also just hasn’t appeared to have the com petitive fire of past years. Out in California Rafer John son is trying for the Olympics in the decathlon. He should make it and if so he’ll be another Texan on Uncle Sammy’s squad. John son hails from Texas. Fly there. it's faster by far!
