Pasre 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 12, 1963 THE BATTALION Ag Sophomore Top Performer At Fort Worth After a promising freshman sea son last spring, everyone said Ted Nelson would be the man to watch in sprinting for A&M in the years to come. He decided to get busy last weekend and not make folks wait around till the regular track season started. . Saturday in Fort Worth, Nelson posted a flashy .58 seconds flat in the 500-yard dash in the annual Will Rogers Indoor Games to beat three of the nation’s finest speed sters. Former'Texas great Ralph Alspaugh, running unattached, was second, the Air Force’s Eddie Southern third and Kansas’ Chris Cushman fifth. NELSON, a former Andrews High School standout, was named outstanding performer in the Games. He bested his last year’s Odessa time (59.4), which was one of three A&M records he already holds. The sophomore also holds the school indoor records in the 400-yard dash (45.4) and the 600-yard dash (1:13.3). An enthusiastic crowd of 7,200 was stuffed into the Will Rogers Coliseum to watch Nelson turn on a burst of speed in the home stretch. They watched 17 other Cadets perform among a host of thinclads. Old standby Danny Roberts -won his third consecutive shot put event at the Fort Wortth meet with a 56-4 toss. The junior has lost only one indoor meet in three years - - recently at Lubbock. A&M’s mile relay team bested the meet record of 3:25.5 with a 3:24.4. But they ended up second to a young Abilene Christian squad which turned in a dazzling 3:23.4. A&M’s mile relay men were Jerry Anderson, Jim Sebastian, R. E. Merritt and Nelson. Nelson had a great anchor leg for the Ags and brought them from fourth to second. ILHAN BILGUTAY, the junior Aggie distanceman from Istanbul, Turkey, was fourth in the mile run. ACC’s Dennis Moore took first in the mile with a 4:21.6. The Aggies took a fourth in the two-mile relay with a 8:01.9 effort. Howard Payne College took first in the event with a 7:53.5. A&M’s two-mile relay men were Sebastian, Herbie Cambell, Earl Myers and E. L. Ener. Cadets Kit Comeback Trail With 85-69 Win At TCU ,v i j -■ ’ I iSSi: "Mil! .

After holding a comfortable lead through most of the second period, the Cadets were challenged fiercely by Bobby McKinley and the i-est of the Horned Frogs. The guard headed an attack that brought the Frogs within eight points of A&M. BUT GERALD Woodard took ad vantage of the pressing defense and dropped in two layups in quick succession and the feeble hopes of TCU were snuffed out for good. The victory, along with other SWC happenings, jumbled the works around so that A&M is now tied with Arkansas for third place. They now rest a long three games away from the league-leading, un beaten Texas Longhorns. It was the first win in five out ings for the Ags. A&M had not won a contest since Jan. 12 and things were going from worse to worser. Although nobody considers it a very great accomplishment to beat TCU this season, the win was a precious one for the Aggies. More important, they finally got back that old touch. Everybody seemed to be back in the swing of things. BENNIE LENOX assumed his normal role as high-scorer. He had 18 points and got them all before he fouled out with 13 min utes left. Consistent Jerry Wind ham was finnaly his old self again. He put in 17 points and collected 16 rebounds. Woodard got back his shooting the season against Lamar Tech. eye and matched Windham in scor ing with seven from the floor and three charity shots. Big Lew Qualls had five field goals to match his high from earlier in Rogers was all smiles Sunday about the 51.0 per cent shooting of the Cadets. They had 16 of 26 in the second half for 61.5 per cent in that period.

Rollie White Coli seum. They’ve tasted everybody in the SWC now, and -SMU was one of the of the three that didn’t taste so good. Things were g'oing great back in January at Dallas, when a second-half cold spell hit the last weekend, either, when the Cadets like the black plague. It never really went away till Ags got back into the winning column over TCU. Dave Siegmund and Gene Elmore were the lads who hurt the Aggies most by scoring 18 points each in the last meeting. The Mustangs were the first bunch to outrebound the Farmers, too, so there will be a big score to settle. SMU and Tech are tied for fifth place behind A&M and Arkan sas in the SWC race. The Ponies were in Austin Sat urday and got slapped down,77-62, for having the audacity to think they might trip up mighty Texas. A&M is 11-6 for the season and 4-3 in the league. SMU has a 9-8 record for the year and is 3-4 in SWC play.

The 79-73 loss was the first in five for the Fish. They are now 5-2. The surprising Wogs have had a habit this year of knocking off the big guys they aren’t supposed to phase. A week earlier they knocked off the formidable Texas Yearlings in Austin. Free throws made the big dif ference in the contest, with the Fish leading in all statistics col umns except the charity shots and total points. TCU’s Jim Torbert, a 6-3 lad, was the big man for the Wogs. He hit eight from the floor and five free ones for 21.
