Where
Were You?
It takes a lot of planning.
It comes but once a year.
It takes place in the hot sun.
And hardly anybody attends.
Of course I am speaking of
the annual Howard Payne Invi-
tational track and field meet.
Yet despite the lack of attend-
ance, the few loyal HPC fans
who witnessedi it enjoyed it as
much as the 65,000 who watched
the first Dodgers-Yankees World
Series game of 1963.
Some of the best track talent
in the state was present, and
from great array of partici-
pants seven records were brok-
en and another tied.
☆ ☆ ☆
A track meet of this type is
important to the college's over-
all athletic program for various
reasons.
First it affords the Jacket
cindermen their only chance to
perform in front of a home
crowd during the entire spring.
Also, it enables Howard Payrte
to have a form of home
competition with certain
schools as East Texas and Mc-
Murry who we have been visit-
ing for years.
, ☆ ☆ ☆
This year's meet had many
interesting sidelights. However,
the most important things in
evidence were the lack of depth
of the Yellow Jackets and the
great strength of the East Tex-
as State Lions.
Running with only seven con-
testants, the Paynemen were
able to pick up 32 points, good
for a fourth place finish.
This feat is almost compar-
able to the HPC track team of
1962, that won a Lone Star
Conference title with 13 point
scoring members.
Speaking of the Lone Star
Conference track title Delmer
Brown, former LSC record hold-
er in the 220 yard dash, has
built a powerful team about
him at East Texas State.
Based on their showing in the
Invitational, (the Lions scored
in every event but the 880, mile
and two mile) they must be giv-
en the role of favorites for the
Conference meet to be held this
year at Stephen P. Austin
Nacogdoches May 8 and 9.

AT HPC INVITATIONAL
East Texas Tops Field
BY BILL HARPER
Yellow Jacket Sports Editor
Copping seven first place rib-
bons and scoring in all but
three of the 16 events, the East
Texas State Lions ran off and
hid from the rest of the field
in the second annual Howard
Payne Invitational track and
field meet held last Saturday.
Scoring in every event but
the 880, mile and two- mile, the
Lions amassed 62 1/5 points
to outdistance second) place
Arlington State who had 47 2/5.
Showing strength in the
events the Lions were weak, the
Yellow Jackets' distance duo
of Jim Ewing and A1 McKee
gave the home-town-fans their
greatest thrills of the after-
noon.
In the mile Ewing took the
lead at the start and was never
headed, finishing a good ten
yards ahead of McKee in a
4:23 flaft. McKee finished the
four lap tour in 4:25.3.
Finishing in the same order
in the two mile, Ewing and
McKee were again the class of
the field.
Running in the same easy
motion that garnered him first
place in the mile, EWing had
the race all to himself until
McKee kicked on the final lap
to finish within ten yards of
the Scotsmen.
Ewing's winning time for the
run was 10:13 flat. McKee, who
took over second place on the
fourth lap finished in 10:15.1.
After leading for more than
660 yardis of the half mile, Jack
Petty, was out kicked by Mc-
Murry's Larry Thorn on the
final straightaway and finish-
ed in second place with a 1:58
flat.
In the 120-yard high hurdles,
Alton Carlson stepped his way
over the barriers for a third
place finish in 14.7.
Placing in both the high jump
and broad jump was David
Silar. Silar took fourth place
honors in the broad jump with
a leap of 21-9 and a fifth place
in the high jump with a leap
of 6-4.
Also placing in the field
events was Robert Young.
Young, who held the meet re-
cord in the shot put, was edgedi
for top honors in this event by
Russell Polhemus of East Tex-
as. Polhemus's winning toss
was 56-8 1/2, while Young's
throw was just a shade shorter
at 55-9 1/2.
Young was also second to
Polhemus in the discus with
a throw of 151-9 to Polhemus's
record setting heave of 162.
Starting at 7:30
will include, according to
James, "every phase of the
game, with exception of kick-
off returns."
Admission praces for the con-
test will be 50 cents for adults
and 25 centB for non Howard
Payne students.
"After Saturday's game, we
will have a better idea who will
be our football players for
next fall, and who will not,"
said James. "We certainly want
to invite all students to come
out and see us."
In preparation for Saturday's
seige, Coaches James and Mill-
sapps were to have had contact
drills Monday through Thurs-
day, with a breather today.
This week's practice sessions
mark the fourth in a series
which started March 16. During
that time, in the words of
James, "we came with the at-
titude that we were going to
work on running, blocking andj
tackling. And that's just what
we've done.
"We realize that we have had
a lot of young players and
therefore it has taken the staff
some time to get certain tactics
across," he said.
James also pointed out that
players "Have come a long way,
but by the same token that they
have the biggest task ahead of
them."
After Saturday's scrimmage,
the Paynemen will not practice
again until Sept. 1 when they
will begin work for the 1964
season.
"By then," James said, "we
hope to have a strong nucleus
of players back who we have
.worked with this spring, as well
as 15 incoming freshmen. From
these two groups we hope to
mold a strong team that will
be ready to meet Abilene
Christian in our season opener
Sept. 12.
INVITATIONAL SUMMARIES
Yellow Jacket Tennis Team
Splits Matches With HSU
For the second match in a
row, the Howard Payne Yellow
Jacket tennis team played well,
but had to settle for a split. The
