FORT WORTH Dafsnd-
inf champions Butch Soswafsn
of Rics in tennis and Robert Mc
Kinney of Texas Tech in golf
will be in the field that opens the
Southwest Conference athletic
meet Thursday.
Seewagen, who beat Tod Gor-
aki last year for the singles title,
also is defending champion in
the doubles champion in the dou
bles although his partner, Mike
Hamilton, is not around this time.
Seewagen will pair with John
Pickens, who lost in the singles
finals in IMS.

In fact Rice has so many top
players—it won the team title
round-robin with a perfect S6-0
record—that it is entering only
its seniors. They will play both
singles and doubles.
Tennis starts at 9 a.m. Thurs
day and will run three days. It
will be at Ridglea Country Club.
Golf also open! Thursday but
it runs only two days, with 26
holes each day.
McKinney won the champion
ship last year by a 10-stroke
margin when he shot 276 for 72
holes. Chip Stewart of Texas,
who was second with 286, and
Rik Massengale of Texas, third
with 292, also are back.
Texas is defending team cham
pion and will hare four players
in the tournament scheduled for
Glen Garden Country Club, which
is 7,243 yards and has a par of
tl. *
Texas AAM will hare three as
runnerup. Baylor and Texas Tech
will enter two each, and Southern
Methodist, Texas Christian, Ar
kansas and Rice one apiece.
Stewart had the top record in
match play when he won six of
hia seven matchea. McKinney
only broke even and Massengale
was 4-1-2. Bill Wade of Texas
AAM. who finished fifth last
year, had a 2-1 match play record.
The annual track and field
meet, scheduled to be its closest
in almost 60 yean, will open Fri
day at Farrington Field. Pre
liminaries are scheduled in run
ning events and finals in the
javelin and discus. All other
finals will he Saturday, field
events opening at 2:20 pjn. and
running events at 4 p.m.
The track meet is expected to
be tight fight among Texaa, Rice
and Baylor with the former a
very light favorite. This is true
since Conley Brown, the Rice
crack quarter-miler, may not be
able to run because of a thigh
injury.
Brown wouldn’t be th^favorite
in the quarter, where Dave Mor
ton of Texas is rated No. 1, but
he could get some valuable points
in that event plus do some top
work on the relay teams.
Track experts were pointing to
a trend on the Southwest Con
ference meet where 24 of the 62
champions have won the mils re-,
lay. This has been true in 9 of
the last 13. i
Texas, which ran 3:06.6 last
week, is favored to win the mile
relay even though Brown might
be running.
The closest meet ever held eras
in 1920 when Texas won with
36tt points, Baylor eras second |
with 23 14-15 and Rice eras next
with 23 1-6. Indications are that
only a point may separate the
three leaders this time.
