The A&M University tennis team blanked Baylor Satur
day to finish second in the conference while the Ag golfers
dropped their last match to Texas and wound up the season
in fourth place.
Coach Omar Smith’s netters shut out their last three
conference opponents to close out the finest tennis season
in A&M history. The Aggie netmen concluded the campaign
with 15-4 season record and a 29-7 conference reading. Rice
drilled Texas 4-2 in Austin Saturday to sew up the title with
a 32-4 mark.
UT dashed the hopes of the Ag linksters by downing
them, S 1 /^- 1 /^, in Austin Saturday. The win gave the Long-
hors a 28-14 conference record and their first title in 10 years.
The Aggies finished with a 22 1 /*>-19i/ 2 conference read
ing and a fourth place standing in the SWC.
This year’s campaign marked the end of a fabulous
string by Coach Henry Ransom. His Aggie golf teams had
annexed the conference title the last four seasons.

FROM THE
Sidelined
By MAYNARD ROGERS
Aggie cinder chances of winning the Southwest Confer
ence Track and Field Meet in Lubbock this weekend are about
as certain as a bet on the favorite in the Kentucky Derby. No
one knows the chances, and like in most races everything
hangs by a serif of the little word “if.”
According to Coach Charlie Thomas, Maroon track men
tor for the past six seasons, the Ags are coming around.
Most improved of the varsity lot are the sprinters which
boosted two tenths of a second off the school 440-relay mark
last Saturday in the A&M-Texas-Rice triangle meet in Hous
ton with a 41.2 effort.
And then comes the word. “If” Ted Nelson, Richard
Hall, Robert Martin and Pat Mitchell could match their best
mark of the season the Aggies could at least take a fourth
for a few points.
“If” Jerry Anderson could get his leg back in shape, he
could team with Nelson, and whoever is going to run in the
mile relay for another high place and more points.
You can see that the Aggies’ fate in the meet depends
upon strong places for points and not just gold medals.
“If” Danny Roberts, last year’s double king in the shot
put and discus, can some how manage to get by his arch
rivals from Baylor, Jim Lancaster and Frank Mazza, in
either of the two events, and if the others in the weight
platoon can get places A&M may pick up more needed points.
Rice and Texas tend to be the pre-meet favorites. Texas
has a crop of distance men that could make a complete sweep
of the conference. Rice makes no bones about its hurdler
Bobby May and its swift mile relay team.
Thomas thinks the meet will go to one of those two
schools, but A&M may sneak in. At least they have an out-
side chctncG
But, it all depends “if” A&M’s everything John Collins
can run hard enough to place in the hurdles and does what
he is supposed to do in the high jump and broad jump. Col
lins has the best high bar effort in the conference to date at
6-6i/ 2 .
Now the final “if.” If every one does the best they can
with what they have, the Aggies will at least pull the places
and points they need, added to the first they should already
have, to win their first SWC track meet since 1953.
I wonder if Smokey Harper will be in Lubbock this week
end to tell the boys what he thinks of them when the going
gets tough. They said it worked last year.
A&M To Host Weekend Rodeo
As Ags Shoot At NIRA Finals
The annual Aggie Rodeo, sanc
tioned by the National Intercol
legiate Rodeo Association, will get
underway Thursday at 8 p.m., with
several Aggie Cowboys seeking
berths in the NIRA finals.
The western event will run
through Saturday with nightly
shows. Toughest competition is
expected to come from Sam Hous
ton State Teachers College and
Pan American College.
Richard Fussell, publicity chair
man for the rodeo, said the rodeo
merce over the weekend.
John South of A&M took all-
around cowboy honors, which was
a saddle, by winning the bulldog-
ging and saddle bronc riding. Wes
Robinson took the tie-down calf
roping and Jay Jones placed sec
ond in the bulldogging.
Robinson leads the region in tie
down roping while Jones is second
in the region in the bulldogging.
Matson Puts Shot 64-10V2
Even Breaks Discus Mark
Gigantic, spartic Aggie Randy
Matson did it again when he cata
pulted the shot put 64-10% for a
new national freshman record Sat
urday in a varsity-freshman tri
angle track meet between A&M,
Texas and Rice in Houston.
Matson’s tremendous toss, along
with a 182-11% spin of the discus,
highlighted the meet that featured
Rice in a varsity win with 74
points to 50 for Texas and 43 for
the Aggies.
The Aggie Fish completely dom
inated the freshman division by
taking 72 points while the Texas
Shorthorns and Rice Owlets netted
40 each.
Randy’s long throw was second
in a series of six tosses that went
over 60 feet. His discus fling was
the longest throw ever made by a
Texan.
The varsity Aggies ran to their
best times and jumped to their
best efforts in the meet. Ted Nel
son won the 440-yard dash with a
47.2, his best of the season, and
John Collins captured the high
jump with a season high of 6-6%.
The Maroon sprint relay team of
Robert Martin, Richard Hall, Pat
Mitchell and Nelson teamed for a
41.2 which broke the old school
standard of 41.4.
Senior A g g i e weight man
claimed two firsts in the shot put
and discus with a 58-10% mark in
the iron ball and 164-11% in the
platter.
In the freshman meet, the Ag
gies took 10 first places with Mat-
son and sprinter James White ac-
Aggie Fish Stopped
With Cub Pitching
The Fish baseball team lost to
the Baylor Cubs, 1-0, in Waco Sat
urday despite a strong pitching
performance by righthander Dick
Valentine.
Valentine scattered four singles,
struck out nine and walked one in
the losing effort.
Cub hurler Rod Robinson com
pletely handcuffed the Fish bats
men, allowing them only two sin
gles, both by third baseman Ray
Dickerson.
The lone run of the tight pitch
er’s duel came late in the ball
game on a walk, a stolen base,
and a single up the middle.
The loss leaves the Fish with a
6-5 season record. They wind up
their season against the Texas
Shorthorns here Thursday.

the 100-yard dash in 9.6 and the
