Bishop, Wiley, Texas College Set For Triangular Track Meet
BY U. G. LEE
TYLER, Texas—The annual triangular track and field meet that features Bishop, Wiley and Texas College will become a four sided affair here Saturday, March 27 when Texas College plays host to the event at Steer Stadium.

Last year the Wiley Wildcats ran way off with the Steers and Bishop Tigers at Wiley Field in Marshall but this time the initial appearance of the Langston Lions and the improvement in personnel of the Bishop and Texas entries give promise of a hotly contested affair.

Coach Inman Breaux's Oklahoma crew that features the Southwest Conference's champion one mile relay and the great dash star in Bill Washington should cut into the Wiley edge, while Coach Paul Towery's Bishop aggregation featuring Van Nickelberry, the middle distance luminary will make things much tougher for the fine Wildcat cinder path star.

Texas College with a cluster of freshmen who were prep stars last spring is certain to give Coach Giles Wright much more promise than last year's crew that failed to win a single point in the running events at the conference meet last spring.

The meet that gets underway at 1:30 P. M. Saturday and will feature the regular six field events, the pole vault, high jump, broad jump, shot, discus and javelin. In the individual open flat races, the 100, 440 and mile will make up the program.

Both the 120 yard high hurdles and the 220 low hurdles will add spice to the afternoon's calendar, but the real thrillers of the evening will be the 440, 880, one mile and two mile relays.

Clem Whittaker, who tried for first place in the conference high jump, and Larry LaCroix, second place conference broad jumper are the only leftovers of the Texas College Steers, but Herman Rimes, a freshman, Billy Powell a Wiley transfer, and Sam Mitchell of Kildare will form the nucleus of a mighty fine sprint relay combination-
