The golf team will try to break
into the win column in a match with
the Red Raiders of Texas Tech
Thursday. Originally scheduled for
Braeburn, the match may be chang-
ed to the Houston Country Club.
Captain George Pierce said yes-
terday that it is still too early to
decide what men will constitute the
four-man squad, but probable start-
ers are the same four who played
against the Aggies, George Pierce,
Bob Dayton, Bill Mackey and Jim
Deal. There is a possibility that
Deal may go to the Drake Relays
with the track team, and in that
event, Dick Kinchelor or Starke
Taylor would replace him. Pierce
also said that he may use six men,
letting Mackey and Deal play as a
doubles team in the morning and
then replacing them with Taylor
and Kincheloe for the afternoon sin-
gles matches.

The track team begins a big week
Saturday, with an exhibition on
Rice Field tomorrow in connection
with the San Jacinto Relays, a dual
meet with A. and M. Tuesday at
College Station, and the Drake Re-
lays at Des Moines, la., the follow-
ing Saturday.
Exhibitions here tomorrow, be-
ginning at 2 p.m., will include:
120-yard high hurdles, 100 and 440-
yard dashes, sprint and mile relays,
pole vault, broad jump and high
jump.
Emm-ett Brunson will take with
him to College Station the same 21-
man team which finished one point
behind the winning Texas Long-
horns in a triangular meet at Aus-
tin Saturdmay. Five men, Bill Spil-
ler, Bob Neath, Bill Cummins, Har-
old Hall and Bill Christopher and
possibly Jim Deal and Bill Black-
burn will leave from College Sta-
tion for the Drake Relays.
Cummins in Seven Events
Cummins, who scored 22% points
at Austin Saturday, is entered in
seven events against the Aggies:
the high and low hurdles, broad
jump, high jump, pole vault and
both relays. Other versatile Owl
performers are Captain Hall, who j
will run the 100, 220 and both re-
lays. and Christopher, who will
broad jump, high jump and run a
quarter on the mile relay team. Deal
and Blackburn will have little com-
petition from the Aggies in the shot
put, but both will be throwing to
hit that 50 foot mark which Brun-
son said they must do if they want
to go to Drake.
The Owls took nine firsts Satur-
day in Austin against LSU and Tex-
as before losing to Texas 72-71.
Cummins won both hurdles and the
pole vault, tying for first with
Christopher in the high jump and
placing behind Christopher in the
broad jump. Rice took all four
places in the shot put, finishing- in
this order, Blackburn, Deal, Nowlin
and Humble. Hall won the 100 and
220 in 9.6 and 23 flat and Deal took
first in the discus throw.
