HPC Travels To
East Texas Meet
JACKET WEIGHTMAN—Wayne Rathke, Howard Payne's
All LSC guard in football adds strong point potential to the
weight events for Coach David Noble's HPC track team.
Rathke, who holds the school record in the javelin with a
heave of 195 feet, placed second in the shot with a throw
of 52—3 3-4 feet and fourth in the discus with a toss of
141-8 in last week's activities at Fort Worth.
Coach David Noble's Howard
Payne College track and field
team will take part in the all-
college meet at Bast Texas
State University Saturday
March 9. The Jackets, who reg-
istered a fifth place in their
first meet of the year in Fort
Worth, managed a strong fifth
place finish in last year's ac-
tivities in Commerce.
Other teams entered are East
Texap State, McMurry, Sam
Houston, and Stephen F. Aus-
tin of the Lone Star Confer-
ence; Northeast Louisiana, iast
year's champions; Northwestern
Louisiana, Oklahoma Baptist,
Oklahoma Christian, and Tarle-
ton state.
The Jackets will again be
without the services of ace
miler Junior Lee, a Cross Plains
sophomore who has been hos-
pitalized with an undetermined
illness.
Weightman Wayne Rathke ap-
pears to be the Jackets' best
bet for points. Last week in
Fort Worth, Rathke put the
shot 51-3 3-4 feet for second
place, and came back in the dis-
cus with a heave of 141-8 for
fourth. He also holds the school
record of 195 feet in the javelin.
Tom Carter, who picked up a
fifth place in last week's meet,
and Doug Holtzclaw will handle
the hurdle events and both are
capable of placing.

Texas Southern won the meet
with 73 points and Prairie View
took second with. 64.
Wayne Rathke's second place
heave of 51-3 3-4 in th,e shot put
was HPC's best finish of the
day. He came back to take
fourth in the discus with a toss
of 141-8.
Terry Jessup also placed in
two events, touring the mile in
4:17.5, a personal best, which
was good enough for fourth, and
placing third in the three-mile
with a time of 14:51.8.
Promising freshman Walter
Harris followed Jessup across
the line in the mile with a time
of 4:18.0 to place fifth. Another

in the pole vault with a height
of 12 feet; freshman Bill Cleve-
land, a tie for fifth in the high
jump at 6-2; and Tom Carter,
fifth in the intermediate hur-
dles in 59.1.
One of the most promising
results of the meet was the
showing of the sprint relay four-
some of Robert Lewis, Charlie
Johnson, Milton Pleggens, and)
James Harris. They timed a
42.6 for fifth in their first time
around the track this season.
Clyde Glosson, Trinity's great
sprinter, was picked as the out-
sanding performer of the meet

ning the 100, 220, and running
on two relays. He tied the col-
lege division record of 21.2 in
the 220 and ran a 9.5 hundred.

good bets for points in the dis-
tance events. Sprinkle has a
career best of 1:52,8 in the 880
land Davis chalked up a fifth
place finish with a career-best
time of 1:55.5 last week in the
