GOLD FOOT & HIS BIKINI MACHINE’ & “DARK PURPOSE” linksters felt the sting of the Texas golf bugs, 3%-2%, at Mor ris Williams Golf Course in Aus tin. Terry Archer of A&M copped a six and four win over Dee Fin ley for the Aggies’ sole singles victory while Sip Eugene Mitch ell, medalist with a par round of 72, snubbed Ronnie Tomas two and one. Mason Adkins and Bruce Miller scored one-up edgings of Lee McCowell and Skip Bresk, respec tively, for the other TU singles victories. In two-ball action, Archer and Bresk halved with Finley and Miller while the Mc- Cowell-Tomas duo bested Adkins and Mitchell one-up. In track action Saturday, Ran dy Matson did his stuff for the Aggies’ only two blue ribbons at the Texas Relays in Austin. Matson lofted the shot 65 feet 4*4 inches in the prelims and launched the discus 169 feet 9 inches into a strong crosswind for the first-place markers. It was his best showing in the shot ring this season, and it proved to skeptics that his three-month stint with the A&M basketballers hurt him not. Aggie sprinter Gilbert Smith gained a fourth place finish in the 100-yard dash with a 9.6 clocking, behind a brisk 9.4 by winner Clyde Glosson of Trinity. The 440-yard relay crew of Al bert Cilio, Smith, Billy Schmidt and Arie Britt sped to third place in 41.2 seconds. The Southern Methodist Ponies galloped to first with a 40.6. A&M’s 880-yard relay unit sal vaged a sixth place finish after dropping- the baton. The featured event of the Re lays, the invitational Jerry Thompson Mile- Run, fell on its star-studded forehead as the states’ first sub-four minute mile failed to materialize. American record holder Jim Ryun ran a 4:03.9 to whip four - time meet winner John Camien and Mis- souri-ex Robin Lingle, all running unattached. Texas dominated the university class, winning the sprint medley and two-mile relays and gaining recognition as the outstanding team in their division. But little Southern University of Baton Rouge captured the cake with four record-breaking relay wins and one other first. Friday night the sprint medley foursome flashed to a American collegiate mark of 3:16.5, eclipsing Baylor’s old 3:17 timing. In Saturday’s running, the two- mile quartet set a Relays mark of 7:27.1, although opening baton- man Henry Brown fell and dropped the stick. Robert John son picked it up and made up the loss.

In their Texas Relays finale, Southern smashed the mile relay standard with a 3:04.7 clocking. Theron Lewis ran a 45.6 anchor leg, as Southern came within two- tenths of the world record, and outdistanced all college division harriers as the star performer. All tolled, seventeen records fell in the two-day conclave. John Hartfield of Texas Southern drew much of the cheers with a seven- foot leap in the high jump, nixing his old Relays best of 6-10 1 /4. Kansas erased their own mark of 16:55.3 in the four-mile relay by 15.1 seconds with a 16:40.2 and Abilene Christian romped to a new meet record in the distance medley, clocking a 9:36.5. Preston Davis anchored Texas’ winning relay groups and was named the outstanding performer in the university division. Rice frosh star Conley Brown received likewise honors for his anchor work in the winning mile and two-mile baton efforts. Lanky schoolboy Clarence Johnson of San Antonio St. Peter Claver eradicated the oldest mark on the books, the high jump rec ord of 6-5 set by Vern McGrew of Houston Lamar in 1946, flying 6-9 and gaining the spotlight in his class. Coach Omar Smith’s surprising Aggie tennis squad romped and stomped over Texas Tech Satur day with a 6-0 shutout after a Friday afternoon bombing of five-time NAIA champ Pan- American. The Tech stomp opened South west Conference net action on a happy note. A&M plays Texas today in College Station and the winner will assume the role of chief challenger to defending league champ Rice. Against Tech, Richard Barker of A&M clobbered Charles Bower, I 6-1, 6-0, in the No. 1 singles J match. Then Luis Rojas smacked Tech’s Mike Farrish, 6-1, 6-1. Ricky Williams downed Benge Daniel of Tech, 6-1, 6-0, and Pete Faust swept one-man play, blast ing a 6-3, 6-1 match from Pat Acton. The doubles crew of Barker and Williams crushed Bower and Far rish, 6-0, 6-3 while the Aggies' Dean Dyer and Rojas won by default over Acton and Daniel because of a Tech player’s illness. The 4-2 slicing of Pan-Ameri can avenged an earlier loss in Edinburg. Barker, Rojas and Williams bested their opposite numbers and Joe Tillerson came up short in singles play. The Barker-Williams duo clicked as usual but the Rojas-Dyer crew flubbed for a split in doubles ac tion. U! TEXAS RELAYS THIRD PLACE FINISHERS . . . A&M’s 440 relay team, composed of third at the Austin meet with a time of 41.2 Thomas Cilio, Billy Schmidt, Gilbert Smith seconds, and Arnie Britt, from left to right, placed BATTALIOl SPORTS Am Ji v 4 ■m* When you cant afford to be dull sharpen your wil| with NoDgz t NoDOZ Keep Alert Tablets fighti the hazy, lazy feelings of meitf sluggishness.
