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!
