Page 12 THE BATTALION FRIDAY. APRIL 25. 1950 Tracker bests UT rival sports By KATHLEEN MeELROY Sports Staff Tim Scott, the Texas A&M Uni versity track team weightman, had a good meet last weekend at the Baylor Invitational and he's hoping he can continue his string this Friday at the Florida Relays in Tallahasse. “My psychology was a lot better,” he said Thursday. “It was the best I felt all year.” He felt so good he won both the shot put (64-2)and the discus (192) over his talented University of Texas rival Oskar Jakobsson, who won the two events in the Southwest Confer ence outdoor championship last May. “My main objective was to best Oskar in both times,” the Fort Worth senior said. “I usually have a rough time at Baylor.” Things haven’t been exactly smooth sailing this year. “I’m a little disappointed with my discus,” he said. The weather, which has been his problem at most of the meets this semester, shouldn’t be too bad at this Florida meet, which features top Southern schools like Florida, Florida State, Auburn and Alabama. Scott has also had his successes this season. He has the Southwest Conference’s second best throws in both the shot put and the discus this season. In early March he went 65-6 in winning the shot put at the Laredo Border Olympics and threw the dis cus 201 feet at the Dallas meet in late March. Fraternity’s Fight Nights After Florida, Scott and his team mates have the Southwest Confer ence and NCAA outdoor champion ships left in May.

But he realizes he has lots of work to do if he wants to make the team.“I haven’t played since high school.” He and Wilson haven’t decided what position Scott attempt — Scott said Wilson wanted him on the offen sive line, while Scott said, “I want to play defense, preferably line backer.” .

By RICHARD OLIVER Staff Writer If you enjoy drinking beer, carousing with other students and watching people beat each others brains out, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity have got an event for you. The Third Annual Sigma Phi Epsi lon Fight Nights will be held tonight and Saturday at the Brazos Countv Pavilion. The preliminary bouts will be held tonight from 5-11 p.m. The semi-finals will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, with the final slaughter beginning at 7 p.m. and ending at midnight. Mike Burrichter, social activities director for the fraternity, said the fraternity is expecting record crowds and revenues from this year’s event. “We get more and more fighters each year,” he said. “We should have approximately 75 this year. It (the event) was first held at the Bryan Armory, but they made a rule stating you couldn’t sell alcohol, so we moved to the Pavilion. Besides, it’s (the Armory) too small now. ” Burrichter said the fights were ori ginally started as a pledge project three years ago, and have grown ever If Scott makes the team, he admit- s,‘Tt can mean a lot of money for me.” Scott obviously has his eye on a professional football career — Wil son’s looking for a Cotton Bowl trip with the help of a shot putter turned football player. “We re expecting 4,000-5,000 people there just for the finals alone this year,” he said. “We don’t expect any big problems except for toilet facilities. We re gonna have to rent a lot of port-a cans.” The fights involve students from all segments of the Texas A&M Uni versity community, including a few football players. * * ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ NEED A STUDY BREAK?

This year’s income should be free and clear. I anticipate we should get $10,000 free and clear. “All our money should be made on beer. Last year, we sold 99 kegs. This year, probably about 125 will be sold, and that’s being conservative.” Burrichter said the injuries in flicted last year at the event were not limited to the ring. “We had a sorority pillow year, he said. ‘We had to qS though, because a girl was UZ out.
