THE BATTALION
!HI
Spring Sports
On The Move
The spring of the year should
bring more to Aggieland in 1970
than just spring fever.
The spring looks like it could
bring a conference champ in any
of the spring sports but after
last season it seems as though
1969 may be the year of the cin-
derman for the Aggies.
With a little added depth on
the squad, the Aggie track team
could well challenge Texas and
Rice for the SWC crown next
year. Bolstered by strong per
formances from sophomores Cur
tis Mills and Rockie Woods, A&M
enjoyed a third place finish in the
1969 SWC meet in Waco in May.
Woods, a high jumper-turned-
sprinter, was the 100-yard dash
champ with a time of 9.4 and if
last year is any indication, he has
speed to burn. His running mate,
Mills, is the current world’s rec
ord holder in the 440-yard dash
after defeating Lee Evans in the
NCAA meet in June. Both Mills
and Woods are important cogs
in the relay events for the ‘fast’
Aggies.
The 1969 edition of Aggie base-
ballers hope to improve on their
disappointing fourth place finish
in the conference race. The 1970
Cadets will be paced by junior
pitcher Doug Rau and All-SWC
outfielder (and footballer) Dave
Elmendorf. If the Aggies are
going to gather all of the mar
bles then they will have to deal
harshly with the Texas Long
horns, 1969 champs, because they
will again be favored.
The 1969 SWC golf champs
will try to repeat their perform
ance of last year with three of
four of their top players return- ,
ing. Only Bill Wade graduated |
from the foursome of Duke But
ler, Reggie Majors, and Richard
Ellis.
The swimming team will again
field a strong conference con
tender but should finish no high
er than third or fourth because
of the superiority of both SMU
and Texas Tech. A&M with many
lettermen returning, should bet
ter their fifth place SWC finish
last year.
Tennis is definitely on the up
swing at Aggieland and a strong
nucleus returns from a 21-15
squad. Jon Ragland, half of the
SWC champion doubles team, re
turns to captain the team with
help also expected from Mike
Hickey, a junior letterman.
