Threw Spear 213 Feet This
Week; Record Is
210 Feet
Alton Terry holder of the Javelin
throwing record In both the Texas
nnd Southwest conferences will bear
the Cowboy colors In the Drake re-
lavs to he held next Friday and Sat-
urday April 2 1-25 in Des Moines
Iowa. Terry will leave Wednesday
morning for Lubbock where he will
join n Texas Tech group for the 2000
mile jaunt by car to Iowa.
Locals talk somewhat with optimism
icgnrrting the possibility of the Cow-
hand's taking initial honors in the
meet. Such a win will entitle him to
officially participate in the world
Olympic contests being held this sum-
mer in Ilcrlin Germany. The Drake
record for the spear throw stands at
210.9 feet a mnrk which Terry has
bettered in past contests and in prac-
tice tosses recently the best throw
thin week lioing a distance of 213 feet
made Wednesday afternoon.
Has Influenza
"Suffering from n light nttact of In-
fluenza Terry was confined to bed
Thursday and Friday but will be in
top shnpetby next week Coach Kim-
brough told reporters last night.
In the recent Texns relay meet at
Austin Terry hurled the lance 200
feet 2.1 inches only a few inches
short of the record for this contest.
Terry was informed that he had sot
a now record for the meet and did
not attempt to better his mark. How-
ever a check-up made after the finish
of the day's events revealed that the
established record still remained in-
tact. Following the Texas meet Terry
.discontinued spring football practico
and worked out daily preparing for
the Iowa meet but it was not until
nftcr negotiations with Tech officials
this week that his entrance became
a certainty. The group will return to
Texas next Sunday.
o
SPORTS
in other
CAMPS
Although handicapped by having
only a small squad out for spring
practice Coach John O'Brien has been
fail ly well satisfied with the Improve
ment indicated by his St. Edwards
grulders who have been working out
(huing the past few weeks.
In the opinion of the St. Edwards
Kcho scribe the backfield for the Tig-
ers IMG eleven will have "plenty" of
ati ength. Power speed and deception
prevail throughout this department.
George Hutzcr shifted from fullback
to quarter Pat Bell from end to full
Tom Fleming from end to half and
the scoring thrcnt of the 1935 Tiger
ciew Joe Dcvaney at the other half
will round out a foursome hard to
stop.

"Possibilities of an intcr-collegiatc
football match as a close-out for the
19.10 spring training session were
definitely shadowed Thursday night
u lie ii n telephone conversation with
Coach Dob Cox of the Can) on Buf-
faloes revealed that that team would
not he able to engage in such a game
before May 1.7" said Coach Kim-
brough yesterday.
"Our spring work will bo concluded
by thnt date" added Kimbrough. He
suggested however that if the Cnn-
von officials decided on playing n
game at an earlier date the Cowboy
workouts would probably bo extended
f r one or two weeks. Present plans
ill for training to bo discontinued
t the close of the week after next.
Intra-Squad Tilt
After n temporary lot-up caused by
the holiday senson nnd unfavorable
weather conditions rangy Cowhaivh
got back into the thick of leather
cracking ycstcnlay afternoon with a
full length intrn-squad tussle on Pnr-
rnnioro field.
Yesterday's game was to be a ioli
en of the initial intrn-squad match
held two weeks ago. Coach Kim-
brough watched his pupils from ho
press box while Wendell Harrison
assistant coach supervised substitu-
tions. Final Event
Probably the last chance for the
1930 hustlers to settle individual
grudges under the cover of prolonged
scrimmage will be afforded next Sat-
urday night when two evenly picket
tennis the Blues and Whites engage
in the annual exhibition match played
each spring as the finnl event of
high school senior day activities.
Line-ups for this game have not
been decided ns yet Kimbrough in
d Seated yesterday.
O'Brien monikered "One-Play"
when he starred for Notre Dame sev-
eral years ago will probably (accord
ing to late press reports) accept a
coaching position on the athletic staff
at his nlmn niator soon.

To Start This Month
Contenders Smash Records
Of Texas Conference
In Affray
Howard Payno Yellow Jackets turn-
ed on their full stenm in n track and
field meet with Abilene Christian col
lege Wildcats Wednesday nfteinoon
and left the Cats on the small end of
a 74-40 point victory. Three Texas
conference records were bettered and
two equalled in the fray.
This was the first time In nine
years that tho Kittens have taken a
defeat at the hands of n lesser con-
ference team. Although the Jacket
weight heaver Houston Wedeman
broke two existing conference rccoids
and took three first places individual
honors went to the A. C. C. all-round
athlete Johnny Connol.
As Cat hurdler Connel equalled the
mark setnt Austin last year if nn
old time of 14.6 seconds established
by Andrus of Hnrdin-Simmons is to
bo disregarded. Conference pfficials
had tho Andrus record thrown out
because tho Cowboy wns aided by a
strong wind in tho 1933 conferenco
meet.
Howard Payne had a decisive vic
tory from the very first taking both
plnccs in the first three events.

Uy WHITE & MACH
Somebody told us the other day
Hint this is the time of year which is
very bad. This hero is also n very
bad time to make any attempts. De
spite nil these badnesses before and
behind us . . . we (unwillingly) feel
bnd about pleasing a lot of posy seek-
ers and displeasing nn equal number
of goldbrickers.
Quite a number of the bo)s (so a
well informed friend told us this week
because you know we never go
out and personally watch the squad
ork out) have been hustling out
there so many weeks that we feel It
nonld be some sort of highway rob-
bery to withhold their just dues much
longer. There's a few out there who
arc loafing though . . . cause they fig-
ure they don't have to hustle . . .
which is exactly the same thing you
and me would be doing if we did not
liac to "put out" in order to keep
our Job. Ma) be wo arc taking too
much for granted in opining that it's
"putting-out" that we've been doing.
This friend that we asked for opin-
ions as to who was doing best and who
was hitting hardest out on the field
every afternoon gave us the follow-
ing info. This friend so serving this
cause is not another sport writer
thusly he may bo considered suffi-
ciently capable of rendering some
soit of n bonn fida report On the
Dutchman's daily sweat sessions. . . .
Here 'tis:
."Burns that big freshman tackle
has been putting out plenty. He's
showing more firo than any of the
ne wor old bloods. One thing is cer-
tain he'll bo running first string part
of tho time next year ... or we may
have three first string tackles.
Guards None have been spectacu-
lar. Tho first stringers are not hard
pushed but Sclfridgc is trying hard-
est and di awing almost as much as
any.
' Centers You can't make a pivot
man nnd pnsscr-back in n single
month. Hull is hurt Jarnigan knows
HOW while Green and Bridges are
trying to learn HOW.
Ends Fulcher showed up in the
football battle the other week and
things looked brightest for him for
quite u while. He's showed most im-
provement of all; he had room for it.
Harris need not bo mentioned ns he's
always good on defensive nnd is not
loafing like somu of the other regu-
lars. Benson and Scroggins are also
thcie.
Tho others Frost is one of the
most efficient of nil in his certain
department. He's a natural for the
blocking hnlfback. This freshman
Hcnrichs from Breckcnridge is try-
ing so successfully that he might be
a lottcrman in 193G IF he doesn't go
stale like so ninny before him. Ralcy
hard driving point man is deserving
of n commendatory word. There's
some moro boys tryii'J? nal'd to stay:
First there's Raiborn and then there's
Henry mid-term fish from Slaton
might and might not be n FIND. He's
delivering now. . . . He'll be good some
dny if he keeps it up. Pickens his
high school teammate is hustling but
light ns yet.
The Chipmunk Clipson and some
of the cannon fodder has been show
ing far more hustle than the regu
lars. Also tho former is showing
fair improvement.
Alton Terry Hardln-Simmons' one
man trnck team will compete in the
Drake relays April 24. Terry won
the Texas relays with a toss of over
20G feet and has since hurled the
spear 215 feet in practice. Terry has
been defented only once in high
school and college competition.
Prof. Ballard's untiring efforts
have brought a new clay tennis court
to these forty ncros. This might bo
teimed the realization of Prof. Bal
lard's and other H-SU tennis player's
dreams who havo bruised muscles nnd
skinned knees on the concreto courts
through tho years.
It conies to us by the grapevine
route that there is a possibility of
Hnrdin-Simmons adding the world's
tallest hoy to the student body. This
lad is a few inches over eight feet
