back.
Still, there seemed to be no
accounting for the phenomenal
time. Two or three other boys
in the race also broke the world
standard of 9.1.
Head Judge Jimmy Munson
said Tuesday that one of the
timers looked at his stop watch,
blinked, then walked over to a
second timer and said, “Say,
what did you get?”
“I’m not going to tell you,” the
second timer replied.
The first timer turned to a
third timer, who spoke first: “I’m
not going to tell you either.”
They measured the track.
From start to finish it was 85
yards.
Take a dark colored pen and circle this Saturday, April
18, because in the Aggie track record book it could very well
become a red letter day.
Stop watches beware because an Aggie thinclad squad
which just could be the best in A&M history will host a
quadrangular meet with TCU, Rice and Arkansas scheduled
to compete. This current edition of Maroon and White holds
two school records and have tied one world mark already as
they prep for the Southwest Conference Meet tabbed for
Houston this season on May 1 and 2.
Don Kellar, a junior college transfer from Mesa, Arizona
JC, holds the new Aggie standard in the 440-yard inter
mediate hurdles with a 50.6, also one of the best in the
country this year. The mile relay unit composed of Kellar,
Harold McMahan, Marvin Mills, and Curtis Mills have already
run a speedy 3:08.4 outdoors two weeks ago in the Texas
Relays and that was without Willie Blackmon, who is
suffering from a pulled hamstring. Blackmon was a member
of the Aggie indoor team that clocked the fastest relay time
ever run inside in the Astrodome Federation Meet early in
the season.
The 880-yard relay unit made up of Donny Rogers,
Rockie Woods, Curtis and Marvin Mills tied the worlds record
in the event with a 1.22.1 clocking in the Texas Relays. The
440-relay team with Scotty Hendricks, Woods and the Mills
brothers have the best time in the nation thus far with a 39.7,
also set in the Texas Relays on the new Tartan Track in
Memorial Stadium.
With performances like these, the Aggies are the odds-on
favorites in the conference meet with Texas and Rice also
expected to have shots at the title should the Maroon falter.
What makes this prediction even stranger is the fact that
A&M will have depth in many events, just the opposite of last
year when Rockie Woods and Curtis Mills were forced to
compete in too many events because of the lack of that
depth. In the high jump for example, the emergence of
Marvin Taylor has apparently increased the intersquad rivalry
to produce the best leapers in the conference. Taylor has
jumped 6-9 but Ben Greathouse has also profited from the
competition because he has also soared 6-9 to lead the
conference. John Taylor has jumped 6-7 to tie for third in
SWC action.
This appearance will be the last for the Maroon and
White tracksters in Kyle Field and thus it will be the last time
for many to see one of the strongest units that Coach Charlie
Thomas has ever assembled.
^ »{<
Happily, baseball at A&M does not have to take a back
seat to track because the 1970 Aggie baseball team is
currently undefeated in conference play with a 9-0 mark. The
nine wins have all come in succession with three-game sweeps
over Baylor, SMU, and Rice. But the toughest of the games
are yet to come with series scheduled against Tech in
Lubbock, TCU in College Station, and Texas in Austin. The
Texas series could be the key to the conference throne room
for the heavy-hitting Aggies because the Longhorns were
ranked third in the nation in the last poll while A&M was
sixth. Texas relies on the superb pitching of Burt Hooten,
James Street, and Larry Hardy and the power hitting of
outfielder David Chalk, All-SWC as a freshman.
Hitting is not the only area where the Aggies shine
because the best two pitchers right now in the conference
both wear A&M uniforms. Doug Rau, a junior, has a brilliant
0.38 earned run average and has a perfect 6-0 record. He is
followed by senior Dave Benesh with a 1.24 era and
sophomore Bruce Katt with a 1.50 mark. Rau has 56
strikeouts in 47 innings and Katt set a conference record with
19 whiffs in one game against SMU earlier this season.

The rule book says when the
judges goof the race will not be
rerun. So Alexander and the
second place finisher, Reagan
High School’s Ralph Dunlay, go
on to regional finals.
This cut out Charles Roberts,
Alexander’s teammate at Ander
son High School, who placed
third and is convinced he could
have beaten Dunlay in the final
15 yards.
Roberts regularly beats Dun
lap in the 100, according to his
coach, and went on to beat Dun
lay in the 220 Friday. So he
will get to go to the regional
meet, too.
Munson explained that the 100
usually is run south to north be
cause of the prevailing southerly
breeze. Friday night, a norther
was blowing, so they turned the
race around to give the runners
the wind at their backs.
The judges lined up too close
to the start.

Top NBA Rookie A Surprise?
NEW YORK UP) — Lew Al-
cindor, who is making Milwaukee
more famous for basketball than
beer, added to his trophy collec
tion Tuesday when he was unani
mously voted the Rookie of the
Year award in the National Bas
ketball Association.
There was little doubt that Al-
cindor would win the award voted
by writers and broadcasters fol
lowing a rookie season in which
he turned the last-place Bucks
into a second-place team now
battling the New York Knicks
in the Eastern Division final
playoffs.
He averaged 28.8 points a game
during the regular season, sec
ond only to Jerry West of Los
Angeles; was third in the league
in rebounds with a 14.5 per game
average, and led all NBA cen
ters in assists with 337.
“Nobody of his age has com
parable talent,” said Willis Reed,
the Knicks center who was voted
the league MVP award and cur
rently is in a head-to-head duel
with Alcindor in the playoff
series. “He has the ability, he
has the speed and he’s agile.”
The 7-foot-l center, meanwhile,
accepted the award graciously,
pointing out that he had not set
any personal goals during his
first year, hut hoping he had
improved throughout the rugged
schedule.
“I’m very happy about win
ning this award,” Alcindor said.
“The challenge of playing
against the best basketball play
ers in the world has been a tre
mendous experience. I didn’t set
{any personal goals because I
didn’t want to be disillusioned if
they didn’t materialize.
“I’d like to think I’ve im
proved in every way. And I only
hope our club can get past New
York into the finals.”
The Bucks trail the Knicks 2-0
with the series headed for Mil
waukee and a third game Friday
night.
Alcindor pointed out that he
has been using his hook shot,
which he virtually discarded
while leading UCLA to an un
precedented three straight na
tional college championships,
more consistently as a pro be
cause opposing players had tried
to force him away from the
basket.”
