THE BATTALION
Hargett Leads West Stars
Against East Saturday
For 440 Dash
Mills Smashes World Record
The greatest passer in Texas
A&M football history, Edd Har
gett, will be on the field in
Atlanta, Ga., Saturday night as
the West All-Stars try to top the
East All-Stars in the Coaches
All-America game.
Hargett, who owns all of A&M’s
school records for passing and
total offense, will share the
quarterbacking duties with Bob
by Douglass of Kansas.
The 6'0", 190-pound Marietta,
Tex. thrower was drafted and
signed by the New Orleans Saints
of the National Football League.
Heisman Trophy winner O. J.
Simpson was supposed to play
for the West but will not because
he has not come to terms with
the Buffalo Bills, the pro team
that drafted him.
Hargett finished his senior
year in 1969 by setting numerous
.school, Southwest Conference,
and national marks.
“I don’t think that there is
anyone in the country better than
Edd,” Aggie Coach Gene Stal
lings has said.

Astros Feature
2 Special Nights
The Houston Astros will have
t^vo special nights during their
crucial three-game series with the
powerful Atlanta Braves in the
Astrodome Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Friday night will be ‘‘Fiesta
Night” with a sensational pre
game musical show at 7:00 p.m.
staring Lucha Villa, Mexico’s top
female ranchero vocalist; De-
metrio Gonzales, a leading male
singer, and the Mariachis de Pepe
Villa. The Astros also will honor
all of the Latin American ball
players from both clubs.
Saturday night will be ‘‘Poster
Night” as the Astros will give
away free, a 24 by 36 inch four-
color poster of Astros in action.
There are some interesting
pitching battles slated during the
weekend series.
Friday night’s opener will find
Astro lefthander Denny Lemaster
on the mound, trying to stretch
his string of 26 consecutive
innings without allowing an
earned run. But he and the Astros
will be facing a toughie, Braves’
righthander Pat Jarvis, who has
an 8-1 career record against
Houston.
Don Wilson, the Astro strike
out leader, is scheduled to start
Saturday night’s game. Atlanta
will counter with lefthander
George Stone, who was cruising
along with an unbeaten record
until Houston (and Lemaster)
downed him last week.
The Sunday afternoon “Family
Day” series and home stand finale
will send Larry Dierker, Hous
ton's top winer, to the hill. He’ll
be opposed by tall Atlanta right
hander Ron Reed.
Atlanta, which has set the pace
in the National League’s Western
Division most of the season, will
bring one of the National League’s
most dangerous offensive units
into the Astrodome. Hank Aaron,
Orlando Cepeda, Felipe Alou and
Rico Carty are some of the
Braves’ top sluggers. In addition,
Atlanta has two popular former
Astros, shortstop Sonny Jackson
and third baseman Bob Aspro-
monte, in the regular lineup.
Plenty of good tickets still are
available at the Astrodome ticket
office, all Foley’s stores in Hous
ton and at the Houston Bank and
Trust building lobby. Tickets
also may be ordered by mail (Box
1691, Houston, 77001) and may be
charged on any Texaco credit
card.
Batt Changes Day
Beginning Wednesday, July 2,
The Battalion will switch publi
cation days during the summer
months. In the past, the weekly
newspaper has always been print
ed on Thursdays but will switch
to Wednesdays.
This will offer extra conven
ience to grocery shoppers wishing
to take advantage of weekend
sales at stores which advertise
in The Battalion.
WATCH the East-West All-Star
Game on Channel 3, Saturday.
“Keep the faith, baby!”
That’s what everyone in the
sports world should have done
last Saturday afternoon when
Texas A&M’s supreme sophomore
Curtis Mills defeated the toughest
NCAA track competition imagin
able.
It was like a fairy tale come
true as the former Lufkin Dunbar
schoolboy track star broke the
existing world’s record in the 440
yard dash with a 44.7 and whip
ping Olympic champion Lee
Evans in the process. Evans was
quoted as saying that he had
never even heard of Mills until
he won his semi-final heat Friday.
The only one to keep his “cool”
throughout the whole meet was
Mills himself. He had expressed
supreme confidence even before
he scorched the University of
Tennessee Tartan Turf.
He predicted to several Texas
writers that he would beat both
Evans, who was clocked in 45.2,
and highly regarded Larry James
of Villanova, who eventually fin
ished fifth.
“There’s no pressure on me.
I’m in a better position than they
are. You wait and see. My name
will be in the headlines tomor
row,” he said. And sure enough
they were.
“It’s still hard for me to be
lieve what has happened,” Mills
said right after the race. “Coach
(Charlie) Thomas grabbed me
and was hollering, ‘look at the
clock’.
“I saw the 44.7 but I was so
happy that I won that I didn’t
think about a world record. Then
it hit me . . . what a feeling it
was.”
Running by far his best race
of the year, Mills coasted into
the final 100 yards expecting to
finish “either third or fouth.”
But he felt so good coming out
of the last turn that he decided
to go ahead and try to win it.
Still eligible to run this summer
in the National AAU champion
ships in Miami and perhaps earn
a trip to Europe, Mills instead
decided
summer school.
Coach Thomas believes that
Tennessee’s Tartan synthetic run
ning track was a factor in Mills’
44.7.

“Tartan Turf is a soft surface
with a lot of bounce. There’s w
doubt that it’s the best running
surface made because it ian’t
hard on a runner’s legs.”
