dozen new records in the three-

two-miler, were in the record
spotlight.
There also were two hurdlers,
Ray Cunningham of Texas and
Bobby Bernard of Texas Chris-
tian, capable of hanging up a new
mark. The 120-yard, high hurdles
record is 14 seconds. Both have

eight schools, and the college

dred schoolboys go through a raft
of preliminaries this afternoon.
Elkins holds the pole vault rec-
ord at 15 feet % inch. Dyes has
hurled the javelin more than 241
feet and the record' here is 234-
^■4. Clohessy ran two miles in
^^p)4.1 last week at the Border
^Bympics. The West Texas Relays
record is 9:16.8.
Texas, defending champion in
the-university class, took a drub-
bing from Abilene Christian ait the
Border Olympics, But Abilene
Christian has several top men on
the ailing list, including Olympian

Judge Roszel C. Thomsen of

jured by expansion of the older

Checker Tourney
Draws Orangeries
GRANGER, March 16 (Spl) -
Alfred Barnes and Jeff Tidwell,
widely known checker players
from Williamson County, return-
ed this week from Ft. Worth
where they competed in this
year’s Texas State Checker Tour-
nament. The tournament was held
at the Texas Hotel for a period
of three days, with 51 players
from all over the state competing.
Barnes fell into the Class B
category, and in view of most of
his opponents being ex-state cham-
pions in Class B his competition
was unusually tough. He failed lo
place.
Tidwell competed in Class C
Legislative
Panel Plans
Fixing Probe
DALLAS (T)— A' legislative in-
vestigating committee will meet
to discuss reports of game “fix-
ing” in Southwest Conference bas-
ketball.
Rep. Charles Ballman of Bor-
ger, chairman of the House group,
called the executive meeting in
the wake of a statement by Rep.
Tom James of Dallas. James said
he had information that one ref-
eree received a payoff of $2,500
from a gambler and anothe'r ref-
eree bet $5,000 on a game in
which he officiated.
Ballman, in disclosing he had
instructed counsel for the com-
mittee to contact members about
the meeting, said' it was not to
discuss James’ statement but to
“look into the entire picture.”
James, a candidate for attorney
general and formerly vice chair-
man of the committee, gave his
statement in a taped interview
with WFAA-TV. He was quoted as
saying that two or three officials
were invilved in the “fix” probe.
His information came from au-
thorities and people close to the
investigation, James said.
David Witts of Dallas, chief
counsel for the House committee,
said, he had no idea where James
CTot his information. He said the
Committee has made progress
with the probe in recent days.
Executive Secretary Howard
Grubbs of the Southwest Confer-
ence had no comment on James’
statements. He repeated that “all
the information we have in this
matter has been turned over to
states and federal authorities.” ’
James said he was told:
“The bookmakers approached
the referees to control the spread
of points, and in some cases the
games. The referees in turn would
receive a fee, in one instance
$2,500. In another instance a. ref-
eree went, outside the game and
made a bet in the direction he
was going to control the game.”
Ballman said the committee
would meet as soon as it is con-
Taylor Duck thin-clads to their
third track meet of the season
this weekend when they journey
0 Cameron for the Cameron Re-
lays. Preliminaries will get un-
derway at 1 p.m. on Saturday
*.vith the finals being held under
■he lights on Yoe High Field in
.Cameron. Actually it will be a
regular meet with only two ex-
tra relays added to the' regular
Interscholastic League schedule of
events.
Taylor will enter a full team
but: Bobby Sorenson and Roy
Green will lead the parade in
quest of points. Sorenson will be
the favorite in his specialty, the
half mile and will again anchor
1 he Ducks sprint medley combine.
Green will be among the favor-
ites in both the shot and discus.
The Ducks will be hurting for
sprint points in both the 300 and
220 but both hurdles will be held
which should aid the local cause.
A hurdle brigade of Kelly Marek,
John Richards and Dennis Mucha
in the highs as well as Rodney
Kind and Charlie Patterson in
the lows should chalk up some
points. Another sure point getter
s Mucha in the pole vault.
A list of entries by events is as
follows: 100-yard dash — Charles
Patterson and Rodney Kind;
220 yard dash — Tim Hurta; 440
yard dash—Wayne Pavlicek ,Steve
Ailgood and Gene Harkins; 880
yard run—Bobby Sorenson, Larry
Cernosek and Allen Schoener;
high hurdles — Kelly Marek, John
Richards and Dennis Mucha; low
hurdles — Marek. Richards and
either R. Kind or Patterson; shot
put — Roy Green, Elton Berry
and either C. L. Carson or Ervin
Isensee; discus — Green, Berry
and Buzzy Hermann; high jump
—Nyle Mann, Mucha and Marek;
pole vault — K. Marek, Rodney
Marek and Mucha; broad jump—
Kenneth Czimskey.
Sprint relay will be made up
of Hurta, Roger Youngblood,
Jimmy Kind and either Patter-
son or Mucha.
The mile combination will be
Allgood, Youngblood', Pavlicek and
Sorenson, while the medley will
be the same group with Hurta
replacing Allgood. The half mile
relay will be composed of Cer-
nose'k, R. Kind, Patterson and
Mucha.
The Ducks will be 'attempting
to break a second place rut they
have fallen into this year. They
finished just two points behind the
winner Mt. Stockton at the Co-
manche Relays and then fell 16
points off the pace in their own
Cotton Boll Relays as Brady came •
Taylor
is
the defending champion of the
Cameron Meet since they won the
team title at every meet last year
except the Commanche Relays.

Suspension Due
Df Lamar Tech
BEAUMONT OP)—Lamar Tech’s
faculty committee will consider
the suspension of the school by
the NAIA and decide a course of
be'rth.
An NAIA spokesman said in
Kansas City Thursday night that
Lamar Tech was suspended in all
sports events for three years be-
cause “it chose to participate in
an event in direct conflict with
both the policies of its confer-
ence (Lone Star) and the NAIA.
Lamar Tech went to the NCAA
college division basketball playoff
at Jonesboro, Ark., instead of a
playoff with Pan American of the
Big State Conference for the
NAIA Dist. 4. championship and
an NAIA national tournament
berth.
Dr. F. L. McDonold, president
of Lamar Tech, declined com
ment, saying that he had not been
notified. He added that he would
submit the matter to the faculty
committee when notice is re
ceived.
Lamar Tech decided to go to
the NCAA instead of the NAIA be-
cause it would mean losing two
days from school to engage in the
playoff and an entire week to
play in the NAIA tournament, it
was explained.
A1 Duer, NAIA executive secre-
tary, said the school’s decision
was “a last-minute one and bad
ly jeopardized' the best interests
of Dist 4, its conference and the
NAIA.
