. v •: 880 yard relay team wins again By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor The Texas Aggie 880 yard re lay team remained undefeated Saturday despite running without 9.3 sprinter Rockie Woods who pulled a muscle last week at the Martin Luther King Freedom Games at Philadelphia. The Ag gies won in 1:23.2 at the Cali fornia Relays at Modesto. The Aggies who tied the world mark in the event earlier this season with a 1:22.1 time at the Texas Relays and broke it with a 1:21.7 timing at the Drake Re lays, outclassed second place In diana and third place Abilene Christian College for their third win without a loss. The sprint relay team placed third with a outstanding 39.9, also without Woods, but found the pounding feet of University of Texas at El Paso anchorman Clyde Goosen and UCLA anchor man Wayne Collett too much as the Miners whizzed to a win by a nose. Both teams were clocked in 39.4. The Aggies were within a couple yards of the lead going to the final leg but with Goosen, a 9.2 sprinter, and Collett, who runs the century in 9.4 to catch, they fell to about five yards off the pace. Donnie Rogers, a 9.6 sprinter, replaced Woods on the anchor leg of the 440 relay and Scotty Hendricks, a 21.2 220 runner, ran in his place on the 880 yard relay.

The A&M mile relay team scratched from that event in or der to give the weary relay men some rest, since they have been running two or three relays every week this season. Aggie-ex Randy Matson was voted the outstanding performer after the world record holding performer turned in one of his best performances ever, and es pecially since his college days, winning the event in 69-8. Karl Salb, Kansas great shot putter, was second with a heave of 66-3. The Aggies are slated to run in the Meet of Champions at Houston this weekend, but the entries have not yet been an nounced by Coach Charlie Thom as. Both he and Assistant Ted Nelson are recruiting this week. Curtis Mills, world record hold er in the 440 yard dash, said he would definitely not run this weekend but did not know what Coach Thomas planned to do as for entries. Curtis and brother Marvin Mills have run on every mile relay and 440 yard relay team the Aggies have run this season indoors and outdoors ex cept one, that was the conference meet, when the Aggies rested the pair as they had the SWC title sacked away before the event. Trainer Billy Pickard said Tuesday that Rockie Woods’ pull ed hamstring which he suffered while running the 100 meters in Philadelphia last week is coming around okay. He said Woods definitely would not run this week and that it probably would be two or three weeks but that it would be up to the coaches when he would run.
