THE THRESHER
Varsity Tracks ters Equal
Assies In Number of Firsts
The varsity track team took as
many firstplaces as A&M did in
the dual track meet at College Sta-
tion last week, but couldn't match
the Aggies in second places, and
consequently took a 73-49 defeat.
The two schools pulled down eight
firsts, but A&M garnered eleven sec-
onds while Rice could manage only
three, and therein lies the difference.
Rice firsts in running events came
in the sprints where Red Brown came
through as expected to win the 100
easily in 9.8 seconds and the 220
in 21.6 seconds; Tom Cox's 50.6
triumph in the 440, where he loafed
because the Aggie aces, Bernard
Place and Don Mitchell, did not
compete; and the relay events. The
sprint relay team looked particularly
good as Cox, Brown, Ralph Graw-
under, and Teddy Riggs ground out
the distance in 42.7 seconds, win-
ning by a good five or six yards.
The mile relayers almost ran into
a "bear" as the Aggies came up with
a good race. They held their ace
quarter-miler, Bernard Place out of
the 440 to keep him fresh for the
mile relay, but he still couldn't beat
Brown who he faced in the last
lap. Brown crossed the finish line
3.22.2 after the start.
The only other points in running
events came 'in the high hurdles
where Vei n McGrew ran a very good
race, coming quite close to beating
A&M's Paul Leming, who is favored
to win the conference champion-
ship. Vern once beat the fabulous
Leming in high school and is out
to do it again.
In the 880, the Rice duo of Otha
Byrd and Jim Hoff ran fine races
but were edged out by the two Ag-
gies, A1 Ortiz and Robert Allen in
a good race. The four were bunched
very closely and it is indicative that
winner Ortiz was timed in 1:59.8
while Byrd who was third by an
eyelash over Ploff was timed in 2:-

00.4. Since the two Owls are late-
season runners, further meetings
should be quite interesting.
Another bright spot were Bill
Graf's showing in the mile. He was
third to Aggie Hampton's 4:24 time,
but still was caught in 4:35, a time
which might place in the conference
meet.
Rice also looked very good in field
events. Supposed to be beaten badly
in these events, they were only beat-
en 27-21, not too bad.
Tobin Rote came through as ex-
pected for an easy win in the javelin
with a heave of 183 feet, one inch,
while McGrew's leap of 6 feet, 5 V2
inches won out over his rival, Bud-
dy Davis of A&M. "Bridegroom" Joe
McPhail got a second in the shot put
with a put of 44 feet, 5M inches
and Rice got its only sweep in the
broad jump where Ralph Grawunder
won with a jump of 22 feet, 10 inches
and Jim Gerhardt was close behind
with 22 feet, 7 inches.
Discus prospects also began to
look up as Joe Watson, although
he didn't place, got off a good heave,
136 feet, 5 inches, good enough to
place in most meets; and George
Donaldson and Gerhardt both got
throws of over 129 feet.
This week, the varsity is in Odes-
sa, Texas for an Invitational Meet
which should be quite interesting.
All the conference schools except
A&M and Arkansas will compete
and should give a good line on ho£
the strength is divided around the
loop.
