Godot, Apdo. 479, Cuernavaca, Mexico to their gun Thursday afternoon in Kyle Field as they walloped strong Texas and Rice for their third meet win this season. The Aggies totaled 67% points while sweeping seven events. Rice followed with 56% points and the Longhorns trailed with 46 points in the triangular action. Ronnie Lightfoot, a 6’ 3”, 260- pound weightman from Copperas Cove, showed the Owls and ’Horns some of the Aggies’ strength by sweeping both the shot put and discus. He flipped the iron ball 57-114 and got off the best discus throw of his ca reer with a 171-5 mark. Oddly enough, he was using an old bor rowed disc of former Aggie great Randy Matson who was on hand to see Lightfoot’s perform- mance. Rocky Woods, a versatile soph omore from San Angelo, turned in his best performance of the year with a blistering 9.4 in the 100-yard dash for a first place, a 21.1 and another first in the 220-yard dash, and even a second place finish in the 120-yard high hurdles, an event he has not run in since February. He also an chored the Aggie 440-yard relay unit as they posted their best clocking of the year at 40.7. Curtis Mills continued his mastery over rival Dave Morton of Texas by handing him his third defeat of the year in the 440-yard dash. The backstretch of the quarter was hampered by a mild wind which accounted for the relatively slow times. Mills was clocked in 47.7 while Morton was timed in 47.8. The reason for the relatively easy Aggie win was the un expected first place finish of A&M’s Ben Greathouse in the high jump. He upset Texas’ Bill Elliot on fewer misses after both cleared 6-6. The other first place for the Aggies was taken by Deward Strong, who took a 53.8 clocking in the 440-yard in termediate hurdles. The Aggies also turned in one of their best non-winning per formances in other events. Marc Black was second in the javelin with a 199-11, Deward Strong was third in the high hurdles, Steve Bancroft fourth in the 440, Scott Hendricks third in the 100, Bubba Vincent second in the dis cus, Richard Ball third in th6 440 hurdles, Hendricks third in the 220, John Heffner second in the three-mile, and Robert Hoff man fourth in the pole vault. A&M’s top vaulter Larry Mc Intyre, a sophomore from Poteet, injured his shoulder in last week’s Dallas Invitational and will not compete in the Texas Relays. The Aggies are looking ahead to Saturday’s Texas Relays in Austin when they meet possibly their strongest opposition of the year. w.
