to Baylor in 1970. He said he had
decided to consider several out

“I cannot express properly the
warm feeling I have for Jack Pat

The race covered nearly 18
miles, extending from Hunt to
Kerrville. All races were timed,
with the competitors leaving the
starting line at two-minute inter
vals.
The Aggies won $160 for their
efforts, but as they are amateurs,
they donated the money to the
Texas Canoe Racing Association
to be used to help finance the
state’s representative to the na

club currently is the top conten

The Aggies almost had first in

brows bleached blond from the sun
and his nose peeling, Wayne
Thompson hauled himself from the
Mississippi River Tuesday in the
heart of the French Quarter at the
end of a long journey.
“What’d you do?” shouted a little
boy, seeing television crews, pho
tographers and reporters.
“I wish I knew,” he smiled.
Thompson, an insurance salesman
from Portland, Ore. and a physical
fitness buff, finished a 1,684-mile
jaunt down the Missouri and Missis
sippi rivers he started on May 5 at
Yankton, S.D.
He was escorted by a Harbor
Police launch for the last leg and
greeted by about 200 persons at the
Moon Walk across from Jackson
Square.
“I’m just tingling all over. I’m so
darned exhausted,” Thompson said
as he teetered on rocks at the edge of
the water.
“I don’t like to fight it. The Baton
Rouge-New Orleans route just takes
everything out of you mentally. I’m
just totally sapped right now.”
Thompson swam 1,776 miles
down the Mississippi last year in a
Bicentennial swim. He used a dif
ferent route this year to eclipse a
record set in 1930 by Fred P. New
ton of Gainesville, Tex., who swam
1,826 miles down the Mississippi in
176 days. Thompson’s trip ft

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Bill
Shoemaker wanted to remind
people of a prediction he made be
fore $316,400 Swaps Stakes at Hol
lywood Park.
“I’ve been saying all along J. O.
Tobin could beat that horse,” he
said, “I guess nobody believed me.”
“That horse” — as Shoemaker re
ferred to him — happened to be
Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew,
who put his unbeaten string on the
line Sunday.
The third largest crowd in Hol
lywood Park history — 68,115 —
turned out and saw the
Thoroughbred upset of the year as
J.O. Tobin scored a wire-to-wire
triumph and Seattle Slew finished a
lackluster fourth, 16 lengths back.
“I knew we were beat going into
the first turn,” said Jean Cruguet,
Seattle Slew’s jockey.
“He just wasn’t himself today —
at least in the race. He was fine
warming up and the track was fine.
He didn’t have any particular prob
lem handling it. He just didn’t fire.”
J.O. Tobin provided the 45-
year-old Shoemaker with his 124th
victory in a race of $100,000 or
more. It was his 703rd stakes
triumph and his 7,244th win.

HANNIBAL, Mo. — Barney and
Lloyd, two frogs from the nearby
Mississippi River, have foiled
California-bred Buffalo Bob’s bid for
the Triple Crown of frog jumping.
Buffalo Bob, owned and trained
by William Steed of Sacramento,
jumped 13 feet 1 inch to finish a
dismal third at the holiday weekend
frog meet.
Barney, owned by Jody Wilson of
Hannibal, took first prize with a
jump of 16 feet 4 inches and Lloyd,
owned by Seth Arnold of Hannibal,
was second with a leap of 13 feet 10
inches.
None of the 125 entrants ap
proached the record of 20 feet 2 in
ches.
Buffalo Bob won the 21st annual
Mark Twain Memorial Jump in
Hartford, Conn., in June after cap
turing the Calaveras County Calif,
contest in May.
The first jump is known as the
Kentucky Derby of frog-leaping and
the Hartford contest is considered
