Texas Colleges fall short in national track scene
SHAROLD RATLIFF SPORTS HOTS surveys Texas college track as the 1950s season ends with few national points. SMU’s Dexter Elkins and Rice’s Fred Hansen miss top spots in pole vault. Houston claims the only NCAA first for Texas. Texas Southern dominates NAIA but total state points stay low. Coaches blame early Texas spring terms draining competition, leaving Texas without a current national headline figure to replace Morrow and Southen.
