NSC Cops McNeese Meet By CHARLIE MEYERS American Press Sporls Writer Can the Cowboys do it again?

Section Three Lake Charles American Press SPORT Classified SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1965, Lake Charles American Press 37 Necse still has to overcome the crippling injuries which have hampered it all season and continued to do so Saturday night. 'If we can get everyone well and in shape again, we could have a pretty fair track team," Kuehn surmised after the meet. "But we've got a way to go yet. David Bertrand reinjured himself tonight, Craig Henry is still hurt, Danny Graver and Bill Jongbloed are not yet well and Eddie McGinnis is in the hospital." As a result, the Cowboys Cowboys have been sorely handicapped in the relays and sprints and a healthy McGinnis in (he pole vault Saturday would have provided enough points to easily claim second place in the meet. Northwestern, scoring heavily in the relays and distance events, led almost from the start and was never seriously threatened.

The big star for the Demons was British distance ace Eddie Watt, who turned in a neat distance double with a mile and 9:17.3 two-mile. Other double winners were and Southeastern sprinter Elliott. Courlright. Habetz, McNeese's outstanding individual, went 22-0 in the broad jump and 44-10 in the triple jump, two events almost totally dominated by the Cow boys.
