Rice Institute emerged winner by two
points last Saturday at Rlee Field from
a thrilling meet with as thrilling a fin-
ish as any screen director could stage.
Texas and Louisiana State battled
the Owls point by point down to the
last event, the mile relay. The three
teams went into this race with Rice
needing a first to win, and Texas need-
ing only either a first or a second.
After a nip and tuck encounter in
which the lead changed hands sev-
eral times, and was held at least once
by every team, Streakley of Rice fin-
ished about a foot and a half ahead of
Church of L. S. U., leaving Texas be-
hind, and giving the Owls tha meet 59
to 57 points. The Tigers scored 54.
Fred Wolcott, sensational sophomore
hurdler, lost his specialty, the 120-yard
high hurdles, when he stumbled over
the seventh barrier, but won the 120-
yard dash, the 220-yard low hurdles,
and ran anchor on the 440-yard sprint
relay team to the high point honors
with 14',2 counters,
Patterson in the 120 highs ran a 14.3
two tenths, of a second under his own
record for the Southwest Conference.
Wolcott ran a sensational 9.5 for the
century, a tenth under the conference
record and only a tenth over the world
record. Wolcott also shaved two-tenths
of a second off the conference mark in
the 220 low hurdles, running the race
in 23 seconds flat.
Beefusi Bryan of Texas tied the rec-
rod of Dave Weichert of Rice in the
pole vault at 13 feet 10 1-8 inches.
Rice's sprint relay team took a thrill-
ing race in the record time of 41.3 sec-
onds, three tenths of a second under
the conference mark.
