; ! 7 TiiP^dlay, ivTarovi 27, 19f52 THE BATTALION Tracksters Place 2nd Win Mile Relay; To ACC In Meet By LARRY SMITH Battalion Sports Editor Coach Charlie Thomas’ track team didn’t beat the Abilene Chris tian College Wildcats last Satur day, but the Aggies gave them a run for their money and became the first team to beat the ACC one-mile relay team this season. In the four-way meet in Abi lene, ACC won with <>4 team points, followed by A&M with 50, “He never gave an inch,” says Kennedy Last spring, Kennedy and Khrush* chev faced each other for the first time. Says the President grimly: "‘He never gave way at all." In this week's Post, in an authoritative ar ticle based on talks with the Presi dent and his chief advisers, Stewart Alsop reports on why the meeting was so "somber.” Why Kennedy feels the Reds have the "advantage of a dictatorship.” And what JFK’s own cold-war strategy is.

Main Bryan Houston 27 and Texas Tech with 26. Danny Roberts, the giant weightman from Cleveland, Tex., dominated the weights as he has done the majority of the season. He took the blue ribbon in the shot and discus throw and placed third in the javelin throw. Roberts’ tosses were 54-9% in the shot put, 149-.‘l iu the discus and 176-7*4 in the javelin. Despite a strong West Texas wind, which bothered the runners and field events alike, the clock ings and measurements were quite respectable. George Tedford summed the gale up pretty well for the entire Aggie track team, “I don’t like this wind. I’m just too skinny to run in it!” Even with the wind, Tedford ran the opening leg on the one-mile relay team and hand ed off to James King with about a five-yard lead. King increased the gap over ACC and Tech by about ten yards, then Thad Crooks, who ran a 48.5, put an 18-yard lead over the others. As ACC was handing off to its archorman, Olympian Earl Young, A&M’s James Anderson had his 18-yard lead. The ACC fans were hoping the Aggies would have a big lead and Young would have to run for the first time this year. Well, he had to run (46.8), but Anderson ran a 49.0 and the Ag gies won the mile relay much to the dismay of the hometown crowd. All this happened without the services of A&M’s top quarter- miler, R. E. Merritt, who was out with the flu. Crooks, the A&M record-holder in the 880-yard dash and the mile run, took first place in the 880 with a fine time of 1:55.9. Keep in mind the 25-mile-an-hour wind. The Aggies’ other first places came in the high jump with James Daniels and Don Denver tyittg for the top spot at 6-0. Daniels was awarded first place on the basis of fewer misses. SPORTS SECTION Fish Tracksters 2nd In First Meet Shot Pue—1. Danny Roberts, A&M. 54-9 %. 2.

Coach Charlie Thomas’ Fish thinclads made their season debut Friday in a quadrangular meet held on Kyle Field with Rice, Bay lor and Texas competing. They collected 40Vk points to take sec ond place behind the Texas Frosh, who had 44 V&. Baylor was third with 39 and Rice tagged behind with 36 points. The Fish copped five firsts and three second places in the meet. They had one third and two fourth places. Up-and-coming sprinter Ted Nelson won the 100-yard and 220- yard dashes and ran a leg on the winning mile relay team. His time in the 100-yard dash was 9.5, a tenth of a second less that he made in a special race at Odessa a week ago, but the best in Fri day’s tough field. He turned the 220 in 20.6. John Collins did triple duty for the Ags too. His 6-4% high jump was the best of the afternoon. Collins also won the 120-yard low hurdles with a 14.1. He was a member of the mile relay squad. The Fish mile relay consort, con sisting of Collins, Nelson, Ronnie McNeil and Kermit Palmer, turned that course in 3:15.5, seven seconds Fish Drop Rematch With Allen, 8-2 Byron Barber’s Fish baseballers, along with a few fans, got the surprise of their lives yesterday. The Allen Academy got sweet re venge for the 16-J) tromping given them by the Fish last Wednesday at Travis Park in Bryan. Allen came to the Kyle Field diamond Monday and handily won the rematch, 8-2. Rusty Rose was the losing hurler. The Fish were supposed to have met the Navarro Junior College team Saturday but the twinbill was cancelled because of bad wea ther. YOU can do something about the 10% Federal Excise Tax on Telephone Service Your telephone fs a necessity, yet since 1942 you have been paying the federal government an addi« tional 10% for talking. An additional 20% in hid den taxes is paid by your telephone company to local and state collection agencies. Thus, at least % of your telephone bill goes to the tax collectors* YOU can do something about it. The current Con gress has plenty of time to act on the 10 % federal tax in this session—if YOU let your congressmen and senators know how you feel about it. WRITE TODAY! The Southwestern States Telephone Company ahead of the Texas Frosh. The only weightman to have any luck for the Ags was David Glov er. He tossed the discus 143-8 to cop second in that event. A 161-6 javelin toss by Altlis Rutyna for third in that event was what helped push the Fish past Baylor in the overall points, how ever. When Lewis Poland pole vaulted 13-6 to tie for second with Texas’ Robert Penn, second place was safe for the Fish. The pole vault winner, Warren Brattlof of Rice, cleared 15 feet but his pole, which momentarily wagged between the uprights, ruined that try and he had to set tle for first with a 14-7 vault. A&M’s lone third place came in the 880-yard dash, where Jim Se bastian turned in a 1:57-8 time. Bob Gilbreath of the Fish copped fourth in that event with 1:59.4. Times were a bit slower than expected in the mile run. Texas’ Preston Davis won the event with 4:22.0. Ag freshman 4 Herbie Campbell was fourth with 4:27.4. Next time out for the Fish thin clads will be Apr. 6-7 in Austin at the Texas Relays. A refuge for the almost-extinct whhoping crane was created in Texas. Called the Aransas Na tional Wildlife Refuge, it is bn the Texas coast. Ags Rally Past Frogs: Flay Bearkats Today A five-run rally in the eighth inning proved the margin of vic tory as the Aggie baseball club won their second SWC game as they blasted the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth Satuxday afternoon, 10-5. The win gave the Aggies a 2-0 record in conference play and a 7-2 mark in the season. The Frogs suffered their second loss in as many games in SWC competition. A&M is tied with Texas for the conference lead. Both have won two games without a defeat. Ed Singley started on the mound for the Aggies and was coasting along until the seventh inning when the Horned Frogs broke out with four runs and tied the game at 5-5. A scratch single, an error by David Johnson, two bases-on-balls and a double by rightfielder Leon Baze gave TCU the four runs in the seventh. Johnny Crain came in to relieve Singley with two outs in the big seventh frame and put out the fire. The win went to Richard Beller, Ag Golfers Down Hogs A&M’s defending Southwest Conference champion golf team opened the SWC season with a 5-1 victory over the Arkansas Razor- backs here Saturday. John Lively, Jr. and Jim Fet ters tied for medalist honors with two-over-par 72’s. The results: Fetters, A&M, defeated R. H. Sikes, 3 and 2; Lively, A&M, de feated Dan Murphy, 5 and 3; Fet- ters-Lively defeated Sikes-Murphy, 2 and 1. Harry Hoskins, A&M, defeated Dick Murphy, 3 and 2; Gary Gross, Arkansas, defeated Dickie Duble, 2 and 1; Hoskins-Duble de feated Murphy-Gross, 5 and 4. who now has a 4-1 season record, as he went into the game in the eighth and set the Frogs down on only one hit the rest of the way. Top sluggers for the Aggies were Bill Grochett ( a triple and two RBI’s), Frank Stark (two hits and three RBI’s), Robert McAd ams (a triple) and Johnson (a single, double and one RBI). Ed Singley helped his cause as much as possible with two hits and two RBI’s. The Aggies play host to the Sam Houston Bearcats this after noon on Kyle Field. A&M de feated the Bearcats in the two teams’ first meeting this season, 6-2. Sam Houston may have im proved since then as they downed the Minnesota Gophers three times in four games.
