Floyd, Sonny
Set To Fight
In Las Vegas
CHESTER, Pa.—CP)Jack Nilon,
advisor to heavyweight champion
Sonny Liston, said Monday he had
agreed to a title fight with Floyd
Patterson in Las Vegas June 27.
Nilon said at his home here that
he had agreed to go ahead with
the fight at the Nevada site “with
reluctance.”
He would not explain. He said
details on the fight would have to
come from Tom Bolan, president
of Championship Sports Inc., the
promoters.
Officials of Championship Sports
were reported on their way to Las
Vegas to look over Convention
Hall as a possible site. The or
ganization promoted the Sept. 25
fight last year when Liston de
throned Patterson on a one-round
knockout.
Cinder Coaches
Count On Collins
to-
By MAYNARD ROGERS
Battalion Sports Writer
Track and John Collins go
gether like beer and pretzels.
John is so well known in Texas
track circles for his high jumping
and broad jumping ability that
Coaches Charlie Thomas and Ray
Putnam call him the most versatile
athlete on the Aggie track team.
John’s career in athletics began
at Liberty High School where he
was one of the school’s most out
standing athletes, earning nine
letters in three sports.
In three years as a halfback on
the Liberty eleven, John made all
district two times on both the
offensive and defensive teams and
was all-state his senior year.
JOHN MADE the all-district
team in basketball three times and
honorable mention all-state his
final year.
All of these achievements would
seem enough for any man in
sports, but they were not for the
6-3, 185 pound sophomore. It was
on the cinders that John really
stood out.
SOPH SPRINTER
. . . John Collins gets points in three events.
In his sophomore year at Lib
erty, John entered the high jump,
broad jump, 120 yard high hurdles
and 180 yard low hurdles, and took
first place in all four events. He
went to the regional meet and
qualified in all four events for the
state meet.
Aggie Cowboys Take Second
In Sam Houston State Rodeo
A&M’s Rodeo Team finished
second behind Sam Houston State
last weekend in the 13th annual
intercollegiate rodeo at Huntsville.
Keith Kidwell led the Aggies by
winning the championship buckle
in steer wrestling competition. He
took a first in the second go-round
of the event.
Wesley Robinson was second in
the tie-down calf roping after turn
ing in a second-place time in the
second go-round. Bobby Robinson
had. a fourth place effort in the
first go-round of the same event.
The Aggies finished one-two in
the steer wrestling as Brazos
Varisco was second in the first
go-round and second in average.
Lynn Turner took fourth in the
ribbon roping competition and Joe
Neff had a fourth place time in
the first go-round of the steer
wrestling.
Sam Houston State’s Leo Ander
son scored in four - events in the
final performance to take all-
around cowboy honors. He had his
jar wired after having broken it
in Thursday night’s bronc riding.
Led by all-around cowgirl Jeanie
Joiner, Sam Houston also took
first in the girls division of the
rodeo.
HIS JUNIOR year was just as
successful. John went to the dis
trict, regional and state meets in
the high jump, broad jump, high
hurdles, 440 yard dash, and mile
relay.
Bad luck plagued him his senior
year before the district meet when
he suffered a strained ligament in
his right leg. However, he still
entered the high jump and did very
well by qualifying for the state
meet.
John plans to go in the football
and track coaching and teaching
business when he graduates.
“I HAD RATHER coach football
and track because that is where
most of my interests lie,” Collins
said.
Since coming to A&M, Collins
has already started on an out
standing career. Last year at the
conference meet, he won the fresh
man high jump with a mark of
6-6. He also placed fourth in the
low hurdles with a 14.8.
This year the easy going* sopho
more has high jumped 6-6% and
has broad jumped 23-3% to be
counted on as a strong contender
in both events as the conference
champion.
