IT'S a most difficult assignment TO
pick tie outstanding athlete of the

notable performer. However, it is
likely most Texas University enthu-

worthy Of that distinction. Littlefield

He is the only orange and white
athlete Of history to accumulate as
many as IL letters. During each Of
the four years he represented the
Steers on the gr;diron. basketball

in each sport. He was an all-confer-
