Tribe Competes in
HPC Meet Today
The new Howard Payne Invita-
tional Track and Field Meet won't
be pitting 1474 nthlctcs against
each other as did the Texas Relays
in which McMurry's broad jumper
Bill Miller captured a first place
but four of the five other schools
in Brownwood today each have at
least one specialist with whom
Indian cindermen will have to
deal.
Athletes from Tarlcton Arling-
ton State and Southwest Texas
will compete in the affair but
probably the most impressive
action will be by McMurry How-
ard Payne and East Texas.
The Indians tasted the power of
Howard Payne in the Inch iumn.

The Redskins however can
boast broad-jumper Miller who
owns the longest jump in Texas
Histoiy a 25-0 us well as a
23-1 i for this year. The War-
riors also have probably one of
the fastest distance men around
Ian Stuck) who has lapped the
mile in 4:12 2 and the two-mile in
0:18 0.
The Juckets own one of the
better Texas shot-putters sopho-
more Robert Young who has
heaved the ball 52-314 this year.
They also have three top 880-mcn:
In the 880-yard run Frank Santi-
ago has a 152 8 Jack Petty has a
1:52.9 and Glen Petty has a
1:54 3.
In the distance medley and
sprint relay medley Howard
Payne owns only a slight edge
over the East Texas teams. The
Yellow Jackets own a 3:25.5
mark in the sprint medley relay
while East Texas has a 3:30. In
the distance medley relay HPC
has a 10:20.4 and East Texas a
10:51.
Going into the meet the Indian
mile relay quartet had a 3:12 2
while East Texas' team had a
3:13.7.
Redskin Henry Allen posscses
only a tenth of a second's mar-
gin over Arlington's David Brad-
ley in the 120 yard high hurdles
Allen has a 14 0 and Bailey a 14.7.
In the 880-relay there will
probably be a close battle be-
tween East Texas State and Ar-
lington. The East Texas team
has lapped the distance in 1:20 2
and Arlington has produced a
time of 1:27.
McMurry's beefy Jim Steven
son who has heaved the javelin
216 3 can be expected to take this
event.
Southwest Texas can claim the
fastest 440-rclay team which has
at the present a 42 9.
And in the pole-vault will be
East Texas State's David Slkes
who has poled himself 14.6 feet
Miller Leaps Over
For
McMurry College had to satisfy
itself with senior Bill Miller's
single victory in the broad jump
while Texas Southern took the
bows in the 36th annual Texas
Relays in Austin last week end.
Miller added his third year as
the Texas Relays' broadjump win-
ner in Friday's prelims when he
Kiva Cinches
League Crown
Going into their last intramural
basketball action against Ko Sari

last Thursday when the Birds

assault with 7 points although
Bill Bailey sank 10 for the losers.
Trailing Stafford for Kiva was

Kiva posted a 26-24 victory over

Kiva 76-55 with the Shirt's Joe

Hershell Hanks trailing with 2009
for a 167 average. Waco Rey-

leaped 25 feet ' inch his second
best distance of the year.
Otherwise the Tribe had to
rely on two second place finishes
and three sixth places to stay
alive.
Freshman Ian Studd switching
from his earlier choice to run in
the open 1500 meter lapped the
3000 meter steeple-chase in a re-
spectable 9:22 3 second to Geoff
Walker of Houston who clocked
a 9:17.7.
Then the Indian's foursome of
Freddy Walker Bill Blythe Bill
Miller and Mickey Miller clocked
a 41.9 for a second place finish
in the 440-yard relay behind
Texas Southern who turned a 40 9.

DIGGIN'S
The Redskin cindermen are too
occupied with the Howard Payne
Invitational today to give much
thought to the future but when
they get back to business after
the Easter holidays they will start
readying themselves for the 37th
annual Kansas Relays in Law-
rence Kansas April 19 and 20.
Probably no one remembers
last year's meet better than the
Indian broad jumping ace Bill
Miller who leaped farther than
any Texan in history with at that
time the best jump in his career.
Miller got off a tremendous leap
of 25 feet 6 inches for naturally a
new Kansas Relays mark. His
mark exceeded the Indian's prev-
ious all-time Texas best of
25-4 jumped May 4 1961.
Incidentally Fred S a n n e r
sports editor of that newspaper
downtown discovered and pub
lished in his column "The Double
Take" Miller's secret to success
during the Kansas Relays. The
secret was "an early-to-bed rou-
tine" and as Sanner said "He
must have been able to hit the
hay early Thursday night since
his last three jumps were all over
25 feet."

Texas Southern who was a
unanimous choice for the meet's
outstanding team won all six re
lays in the College division.
Larry Thorn running unat-
tached for the Indians this year
placed sixth in the open 1500-
meter run with a 3:58 0 while the
Indian's mile and 880-yard relay
quarters each placed sixth with
a 3:176 and a 1:28 8 respectively.
Among some of the more crowd-
pleasing performances were the
16-1 vault by Fred Hansen of
Rice a 4:02 6 mile by John Cam-
ien of Emporia State and a 59
foot 33i inch shot put by Danny
Roberts of Texas A&M.
Mention For
Cage Team
17-10 basketball team this year
has been named as an honorable
mention to the All-America bas-
ketball team as selected by
coaches of the National Associa-
tion of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Vice's coach Hershell Kimbrell
was uncertain as to the number
of votes Vice received but said
that two votes were required for
an honorable mention and that
Vice "had more votes than some
of the other boys listed."
Vice's bid came on the basis
of 479 total point production this
year which included the largest
individual performance during a
single game in the history of Mc-
Murry. During the Indian's game
with Trinity University Vice
sank 41 points breaking a for-
mer record of 39 points set
ironically by his coach.
The sophomore averaged 17.7
points per game. He connected
179 field goals out of 347 attempts
for a .515 percentage and had a
.787 free throw percentage sink-
ing 121 out of 165 tries.
Vice a Garland product letter-
ed three years at Garland High
School being chosen captain of
his team during both his junior
and senior years. During the
59-60 and 60-61 seasons he was
named on the all-district team
as well as a pick for honorable
mention for all-state.
Vice is a business-administration
major.
