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.

Cagers Meet Ponies Tonight
To Start SWC Rounds Again
Coach Bob Rogers’ varsity cagers
hit the comeback trail in fine style
Saturday with an 85-69 win over
the hapless TCU Frogs in Fort
Worth.
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.

The varsity cagers start making
the rounds again Tuesday night
when they meet the SMU Mustangs
at 8 p.m. in G. 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.

Fish Fail To Wogs, 79-73
Coach Shelby Metcalf’s Fish
basketballers finally bit the dust
Saturday against the TCU frosh
in Fort Worth. 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. John Beas
ley led the Fish in both shooting
and rebounding
respectively.
