The Aggies won the meet by outdistancing the University of Texas by 17 points, 69V2 to 52(Photo by Mike Wright) By Mike Wright Assistant Sports Editor Early Saturday morning, the entrants of the University Divi sion of the Border Olympics should have heeded the warning as the Aggie War Hymn blared from a communication truck in the middle of the infield. Later that night, the Aggie thinclads swept five first place medals on their way to a first place finish in America’s first Outdoor Meet. A&M led the University Divi sion with 69 ^ points, as the University of Texas at Austin followed at a distant second with 52 Ms tallies. Houston with 40 points, Rice with 31, Lamar Tech with 30, TCU with 21, and Texas Tech with 12 rounded out the University catagory. The Aggies jumped into the early lead as the 440 yard relay team composed of Scotty Hen dricks, Curtis Mills, Marvin Mills, and Donny Rogers turned in a 40.7 timing to break the Border Olympics record of 40.8 set by Rice University in 1967. The next event was the mile run. A&M didn’t place in this event and they were also shut out in the 440 yard dash, broad jump, and three mile run. The Aggies placed two men in the 120 yard high hurdles as Glenn Blahuta placed third with a 15 flat timing and David Prince finished fourth with a 15.15 clocking.

Aggie quartermiler Curtis Mills was scratched from the 440-yard dash favoring a sore ankle. Freshman David Morris competed in the event for A&M but didn’t place. Mills’ old nem esis, Dave Morton of Texas, won the event with a 47.9 timing. The 100-yard dash was a point getter for the Aggies as they finished third, fourth, and fifth. Marvin Mills led the Aggie fin ishers in third with a slow 10.1, Rogers was fourth with 10.2 and Scotty Hendricks was fifth with 10.35. A brisk 20 mile an hour north wind hampered the run ning of this event and literally made the evening finals uncom fortable for everyone. Willy Blackmon finished sec ond in the 880 yard run with an 1:54.8 clocking behind the Uni versity of Texas’ Mike Mosley. By this time the Aggie hopes of repeating as the Border Cham pions were beginning to look bad. But the Aggies made their move in the 440 yard high hurdles as Don Keller brought home the bacon to win the event in 52.3. Prince finished a close third with a 53.9 clocking. Meanwhile in the jumping pits, the Aggies were fighting to grab every place in sight. They suc ceeded in finishing in the top three spots and tying for fourth. Marvin Taylor gave a steady per formance to clear the bar at 6-8. Taylor also won the same event last week in Fort Worth with the same height. Ben Greathouse and Kim Sutton tied for second and third with 6-4 jumps, and John Taylor tied for fourth at 6-2 with Texas’ Wyatt Tompkins. Ronnie Lightfoot of A&M won the shot put with a heave of 57- 5 as he edged Texas’ Warren Hart at 57-1 on his last throw. Lightfoot also finished third in the discus with a 158 foot toss. Marc Black finished fourth in the javelin with a heave of 185- 10. Larry McIntyre finished second in the pole vault while Harold McMahan tied for third. The Aggies cinched the meet when they amassed 18 points during the 440 yard hurdles, high jump and shot put, while Rice received none and Texas 4Vi points. For all practical purposes, the Aggies could not have run the mile relay because they had the meet won before the event. How ever, the team of McMahan, Mar vin Mills, Blackmon and Curtis Mills ran a slow 3:13.5 to out distance their nearest rival by a full second. The University of Houston finished second while Texas finished third. The Texas finish was due to a great anchor leg by Dave Morton as the Horns v.'ace far behind the field after the last hand off. The Aggies won the meet with out the services of Rockie Woods who is suffering with a leg in jury. Curtis Mills was also not at full speed as he competed in the relays. He had qualified to run in the open quarter Satur day morning, but chose not to run in the finals. The Aggies qualified 12 men in the morning preliminaries to lead the teams in that area. This weekend the thinclads will host Rice University in a dual meet here at Kyle Field. SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday—Baseball at Sam Hous ton, 1 p.m., doubleheader.

Rollie White Coli seum Saturday night to win the Class AAAA Region II champion ship and advance to the state tournament this weekend in Aus tin. Jefferson defeated the region champs 59-55 after squeaking by Ft. Worth Terrell 101-99 in a three-overtime semifinal contest Saturday morning. Memorial qualified for the title game with a 75-37 romp over Waco Richfield. Jefferson’s hustling style of defense and pressure cooker shooting were the key in the championship drive. TJ trailed Terrell by 12 points with only seven minutes to go but came back to tie on a bucket by Bill Marcellus at the buzzer. Bob McKey kept the Rebels’ hopes alive with a similar act with two seconds to play in the first overtime. After that the Rebels seemed in control. A desperation shot by Lindell Johnson of Terrell at the final gun sent the game into a Rain-Soaked Baseballers Host Rattlers Wednesday If the Texas Aggies scheduled a baseball game in Death Valley, it would probably be a lake by gametime. Coach Tom Chandler is being called “The Rainmaker.” “Just let us get the bats out ...” Chandler says, shaking his head. The Aggies hoped to end their perfect record Tuesday when they bussed to Huntsville for a doubleheader against Sam Houston State. So far A&M has been washed out of games with Pan American and Houston Bap tist. The Houston Baptist date has been reset for March 18 at Kyle Field.

St. Mary’s comes to Kyle Field for a single game at 3 p.m. Wed nesday, then the Aggies go to San Antonio to meet St. Mary’s Sat urday. Chandler is anxious to get some playing time in since Southwest Conference play starts March 20 against Baylor, just two weeks away. The tentative starting lineup for the Aggies Tuesday will have Larry Smith or R. J. Englert in left field, Carroll Lilly at second base, Danny Ragland at third, Boyd Hadaway in right, Dave Elmendorf in center, Jim Samp son of Chris Sans at firstbase, Billy Hodge behind the plate, Jim Raley or Ronnie Lagrone at short. Lefty Doug Rau will start the first game on the mound with righthander Dave Benesh slated to hurl the nightcap. third overtime and then Jeffer son scored the first four points in the third overtime and never trailed again. In other regional play, Carroll ton Turner defeated El Paso Aus tin 79-77 to win the Region I title. Austin Johnston defeated San Antonio Breckenridge 65-62 to take the Region IV crown and Houston Wheatley, bidding for a third straight AAAA crown, dumped Houston Waltrip 80-73 for the Region III throne. Kerrville Tivy repeated as Class AAA champion last week end as Classes A, AA, and AAA decided their winners. Tivy swamped Cypress-Fairbanks, 81- 68.
