meet in Ft. Worth.
Texas is the consensus choice
with a predicted total of 54 Mj
points followed by Rice and Bay
lor with 54 each and the Aggies
with 39 V2.
MARTIN ROLLINS and George
Resley are the only members of
Coach Charley Thomas’ team rat
ed first in their specialities. Res
ley is favorite in the shot put
while Rollins is expected tp win
the pole vault.
Resley’s best throw to date is
57.4 while teammate Ronny
Lightfoot, who is picked for third,
has a top mark of 56-6%. Ronnie
Mercer of Texas Tech, who has
a top throw of 57-7%, is the sec
ond place choice.
The top performance by Rollins
was in the team’s first meet of
the season when he cleared 16-1%.
He won the Drake Relays last
weekend with a 15-6 vault.
Two freshmen, Curtis Mills and
Kelvin Korver, are picked for
second place honors in the meet.
MILLS WILL be the busiest
Aggie at the meet competing in
the 440 and 220 as well as the
440 and mile relays. He is picked
second in the 440 ahead of Rice’s
Conley Brown and behind Dave
Morton of Texas.
Despite a SWC best of 169-4 in
the discus, Korver is rated num
ber two in the event. Gerald
Holtzman of Rice, who has a
168-5 effort, is the top choice.
Both Aggie relay teams are
picked for third. The 440 team
of Gary Abernathy, Mills, Tom
Cilio and Jack Abbott is rated
behind Rice and Baylor. Rice has
a best time of 40.6 while Baylor’s
