While running in a track meet in Mexico City against the Mexican Olympic track squad we set a National Junior College world record of 40.7 We also beat Texas Southern in that race which ran in the University Divison in most track meets.

I'd forgotten about Dockery. If he beat Evans and Bonner he was under 9.5 for sure. So TSU got Ed James, huh, and he dropped to a 9.3!!! Man! I wondered where he went after Madison.
Jim Hines and most of the top college runners set out the regular season to peak for the Olympics. However they had Ed Jame and Uler White on that relay team. Both of them were 9.3 and 9.4 sprinters they also had R. Simples and Charles Dockery remember Dockery was from Austin Anderson and beat Richard Green, Adam Woods, Bobby Evans and Roosevelt Bonner.
So Greg, they wouldn't give you guys the 40.3 the paper printed? Either way DBU's stick exchanges must have been perfect that day! Which leg did you run? I seem to remember Herb Ellison as a 9.4 or 9.3 100-yard dash man, is that right? ....... Also Texas Southern should have had future "world's fastest human" '68 Olympic champ Jim Hines and that bunch, didn't they? ... That means DBU was "hossin'" (running like horses) as some old-school coaches would say.
