May. At the Texas Relays last
week, Marek won out with a toss of
197 feet 7 inches while Rote's best
was 191 feet 8 inches and Klein got
off a heave of 187 feet 0 inches.
The high jump, too, will give
somebody a chance to settle an
argument. Vern McGrew, UT's Bob
Walters, and A & M's Buddy Davis
all could win at the conference meet
although not one could win at the
Texas Relays. They really ran into
some competition there. Davis went
out at 6 feet 4 and McGrew and
It is interesting to note that Raz-
zetto stands only 5-10 and could
hardly see the bar at the winning
height and that Severns ran the
Longhorns in to a winning of 41.7

of Cox, Brown, Teddy Riggs, and

and only began to high jump this
year.
The too-much-competition motif
applied in other field events, too.
In the broad jump, Ralph Graw-
under's good jump of 22 feet 4 inches
just did not stack up with the 24
foot jumps which were all too com-
mon. Also in the shot put, Joe Mc-
Phail tossed the weight 45 feet 6
inches, but wasn't even close to
the winning put by Rollin Prather
of Kansas State of 52 feet % inch
(just J/a inch shy of the meet record).
Owl pole vaulters, Bill Fagan and
Pat Moore just weren't ready to
compete in that event which was
won at 14 feet.
Joe Watson and George Donald-
son, Rice discus men, continue to
show tremendous improvement, but
indications are that they will have
plenty of competition right here in
their own conference. Watson hit
146 feet and fouled on a heave of
150 feet while Donaldson got off
the best toss of his career, 135 feet,
but neither placed. Aggie George
Kadera won easily in this meet just
as he is expected to do in the con-
ference meet, but the conference
meet should produce some real com-
petition for second between the Rice
duo, Randal Clay and Byron Town-
send of Texas, Ed Hooker of A & M,
and Jack Adkisson of SMU. The
second place winner will probably
have to top 150 feet.
Rice's corps of 880 men also had
a rough time. Jim Hoff was timed
in 1:55.5 as he anchored the sprint
medley team to a fourth place fin-
ish and Otha Byrd and Bill Graf
turned in times of 1:57.0 and 1:56.8,
respectively, as the two mile relay
team finished out of the money.
But their performances were other
times, especially that of Bill Con-
rady of Loyola of Chicago who an-
chored his sprint medley team with
a 1:50.8. Others on the latter team
were Doug Hale and Drexell Vin-
cent, whih the sprint medley team
was made up of Tom Cox, Jack Hud-
gins, Red Brown, and Hoff.
It was in the sprint medley that
Cox turned in the first of his two
brilliant 440 races of the meet. He
was timed in 47 seconds flat in
a heavy wind, might have been fast-
er except that he slowed down after
