HPC Places 4th in Border Olympics
Howard Payne's cinder team
placed fourth with 18 2-3 points
behind North Texas Abilene
Christian and Southwest Texas
State at the Border Olympics in
Laredo Saturday March 13.
Darrell Townsend ace HPC
speedster streaked to victory in
the 100-yard dash just ahead of
Ray Renfro North Texas' herald-
ed sprinter. His time of 9.7 sec
onds tied the meet record set by j
Howard Payne's Eugene Carter in '
1950.
The win in the century dash
was the only outright first place
won bv the Jackets.
Weldon Hill sophomore from
Rising Star tied for first place in
the pole vault with Glenn Peavy
and Charles Hall both of South-
west Texas. The trio cleared the
bar at 12 feet 11 inches. David
Nippon of Howard Payne vaulted
1 1 foot 5 inches to gain a three-
way tie for the fourth -place slot.
In the 220-yard dash ACC's
"Leondus Fry former Brownwood !
High athlete won the event with
an impressive time of 21.2 sec-
onds. HPC's Townsend was third
while Renfro finished second.
Fry a freshman standout in
football for the Wildcats this past
season also ran on the winning
ACC 440-yard relay team.
Another record held by Howard
Payne was shattered in the Olym-
pics. Mack Clark of ACC paced
the field in the 220-yard high hur-
dles in 23.4 seconds to have .5 sec-
ond off the mark set by HPC's
Charlie White in 1951.
The Stingers' other points were
picked up in the mile run javelin
throw and mile relay.
Berna Allen senior miler from
Bangs took fourth place in the
event won by Dale Imel of North
Texas in 4-29.7.
In the javelin throw HPC's
Frank Rutledge threw the spear
179 feet 9M- inches but fell four
feet shy of Wildcat Von Morgan's
winning toss. Gus Schumann a
Howard Payne freshman finished
third with a throw of 171 feet 10
inches.
The Yellow Jacket mile relay
crew took third place behind Abi-
lene Christian and North Texas
State.
Howard Pavne's sprint relay
nuartet of Townsend Thomas
(Horsefly) Murr Rutledge and
Clyde Blair failed to pick up any
points in that event.
The biggest disappointment of
the meet in the Howard Payne
camp was the failure of Dan Ow-
en senior team captain to place
in the 880-vard run. Owen how-
ever had been working out less
than a week after finishing the
current basketball season.
This week end Coach J. II.
fCap) Shelton will take the Jack-
ets to Austin for a four-way meet
with the University of Texas
ACC and Southwest Texas State.

You owe it to yourself to try it
out.
God wants us but He doesn't
want us all as preachers and mis-
sionaries. He calls some to be doc-
tors and nurses teachers and sec-
retaries lawyers and coaches mu-
sicians and homemakers but
above all He calls us to show forth
Christ in whatever we do. We're
usable then as dedicated men and
women usable because we want
to be used.
Christian Focus Week can be
the highlight of your college experiences.
