Spring Sports
SMU Sinks Ag Tankers, 93-20
Southern Methodist swimmers
set four records Saturday at Joe
Perkins Natatorium in Dallas en
route to a 93-20 swamping of the
Texas Aggies for their 75th con
secutive dual meet victory.
The Mustangs bested the Ag
gies in 11 of 13 events, finishing
1-2 in nine of them, while setting
records in the 200-yard freestyle,
1000-yard freestyle, 100-yard free
style, and 500-yard freestyle.
The only events which the
Aggies could cop were the 50-
yard freestyle, taken by Bob
Dommell, and Tom Sparks’ first
place finish in the 100-yard back-
stroke.
In a rematch with San Jacinto,
Texas A&M gymnasts showed
tremendous improvement in every
event but the more experienced
Ravens again outpointed the Ag
gies by a narrow margin of 121.20
to 118.35.
Whipped into a highly com
petitive spirit by this narrow
defeat and the one at the hands
of Sam Houston two weeks ago,
the Ags have been pressing hard
in practice and look forward to
competing with Sam Houston
again this Thursday. However,
Saturday will be the big day for
the gymnasts as they take on the
University of Texas Longhorns
in G. Rollie White.
Persons interested in gymnas
tics can get fine pictorial intro
duction to the sport from Coach
Bob Mitchell’s display in the G.
Rollie White lobby.
In the second week of the an
nual spring soccer tournament
the African team defeated Allen
Academy 5-3, and due to the rain
the game between Mexico and
Central-South America has been
postponed to Saturday, March 8.
On Sunday, March 9, Africa
will play Central-South America
at 2 p.m. in the South Gate Soc
cer field, followed by another
game between Mexico and the
Pink Panthers at 4 p.m.
Rich Allen of the Philadelphia
Phillies struck out 161 times in
152 games last season. It was two
less than the National League
record.
Mills Shines But Ags Fall, 77-5 1
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
Texas Aggie sophomore Curtis
Mills won the biggest race of his
young career Friday afternoon
on Kyle Field but it was still
overshadowed by the Aggies’ 77-
59 loss to the Texas Longhorns
in a dual meet.
Mills sped to a photo finish
victory over his fiercest rival,
soph Dave Morton of Texas, in
the 440-yard dash when both were
time in 47.1. Mills also anchored
the Aggies in the all-important
mile relay which Texas won in
3:11.3. Mills took the baton on
the final leg of the race trailing
Morton by eight yards but he
turned on the speed just to be
clipped by a hair at the wire.
Rockie Woods turned the finest
performance overall of any run
ner by winning the 100-yard dash,
220-yard dash, and the high hur
dles for a total of 15 individual
points. Another bright spot for
the Aggies was the field events,
both of which were won by A&M.
Ronnie Lightfoot won the shot-
put competition with a toss of
56-6 while freshman Bubba Vin
cent threw the discus 143-7 for
first place.

place in the 440-yard hurdles with
