Surprises give Aggies track win over ACC
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
The A&M Track team flexed
its muscles yesterday, and domi
nated a dual meet at Abilene
Christian College, winning easi
ly, 78-58.
The Aggies won nine of the 16
events, and the day wasn’t with
out its surprises.
The strong showing of Rockie
Woods and Donny Rogers in the
120 yard high hurdles against
the hurdle-heavy Wildcats gave
A&M a boost that was copied in
several events to follow.
James Johnson, a San Antonio
freshman who just recently
joined the squad, won the long
jump with a leap of 22’1%”.
This is another event that the
tough ACC tracksters are good
in.
Bubba Vincent took second in
the discus, throwing 148’714”.
Without this, Abilene would have
swept the event.

was not a surprise, and the sec
ond place finish by an Aggie
wasn’t either, since Marvin Tay
lor and Ben Greathouse were ex
pected to place 1-2. However,
the third place competitor was
a newcomer to the event.
The college debut of Curtis
Mills as a high jumper saw the
great sprinter leap six feet. This
couldn’t touch the 6’7” of the
other two Aggies, but it was bet
ter than anyone the Wildcats put
up, so Curtis contributed one
more point to the A&M total.
Another pleasant event was
the pole vault, in which the Ag
gies swept the first three places
for the second week in a row.
Harold McMahan won handily,
and in the process tied the school
record set by Henry Rollins. That
Kj’IVz” mark has stood since
1968, but it should fall soon.
The only disappointment came
in the mile relay. On the second
leg, Marvin Mills could only go
about 200 yards before his leg
cramped, forcing him to stop.
No one was more disappointed
than 2500 people who came to
see the Aggies run. ACC fin
ished easily, making this the
only event in which they were
able to blank A&M.
The first running event got
things off to a thunderous start,
with the foursome of Steve
Barre, Curtis, Rogers, and Woods
nipping the Wildcats. Both teams
were timed in 40.7. Woods took
the baton a little behind Bill
Overly, but the 6-4 captain shut
him down to win.
Frank Ybarbo ran a 4:14.6
mile and a 14:37.0 three miles to
place second in each event. He
continues to improve in the lat
ter, bettering Saturday’s time by
nearly two seconds.
Mitch Robertson threw the
shot 51’9%” to come in third,
but this toss was his best of the
season.
The javelin throw has been
a consistent winner for A&M,
and yesterday was no exception,
as Marc Black took it with a
heave of 218’4”.
Robert Brew ran a 49.0 quar
ter mile for second place. Curtis
was not entered in this event,
but ACC’s ace, Roger Colglazier
was, and he won with a 47.3.
The Lufkin senior was in the
100 yard dash, though, and he
took first with a 9.0. Woods was
right behind him with a 9.6 for
second place.
Willie Blackmon took the 880
with a time of 1:53.6. Freshman
Enter Rice Tournament
Netters fall to Pan American
By MICHAEL RICE
Battalion Sports Writer
Able to manage only three wins
in the match against Ran Amer
ican Tuesday on varsity courts,
the Texas A&M tennis team was
downed 5-3 before a crowd of
about 100.
This was the fifth loss in dual
competition logged by the Ags,
compared to their win-column
total of seven.
The three bright spots for the
team were in two of the singles
matches and one doubles match.
Tommy Connell defeated Pan
Am’s Des Early 6-4, 6-4 in an
outstanding match of talent.
Early previously had given Con
nell a lot of trouble.
In a long,hard-fought, exciting
match Dan Courson bested Italian
Bruno Taino in two out of three
with scores of 9-7, 3-6, 8-6.
The only other win registered
for the Aggies was by the pair
of Dickie Fikes and Jon Ragland
in a two set win over Pan Am’s
best doubles team 6-2, 9-7.
There possibly would have been
another win for the Aggies if the
doubles match between A&M’s
Mike Hickey and Dan Coursan
and Pan Am’s Gewan Maharaj
and Early had not been called for
darkness. A&M was leading the
match with a 7-5 win and with
a 5-4 lead with a service break
on the second set.
Though the men and their
coach, Omar Smith, were heavily
disappointed by the loss, Smith
feels that all his men need is
more experience.
“People like Fikes and Hickey,”
Smith commented, “just aren’t
winning the close ones because
of lack of confidence. They have
had a small taste of pressure in
our previous matches, but they
haven’t been exposed to enough
of it yet to be able to respond
well in our future matches. Hope
fully, the teams we meet next
week will provide the experience
we need.”
The Aggies will be facing sev
eral of the roughest teams in the
nation next week when they com
bat such teams as Oklahoma Uni
versity, Minnesota, and LSU.
Thursday the team will be in
Houston for four days to play in
the Rice Invitational College
Tennis Tournament at the Jake
Hess Tennis Stadium on the Rice
campus.
Harold Vagtborg was third in
1:55.5, his best this year.
In the 440 yard intermediate
hurdles, senior Don Kellar turned
in a 52.2 to finish first. David
Morris ran a fine 53.1 to come
in second.
Rogers continued his fine per
formance by finishing second in
the 220. His 21.5 was his best
time of the year. Freshman Alan
Swagerty had a 21.6 for third
place.
The pole vault looked like a
repetition of Baton Rouge, with
Larry McIntyre taking third
with a 15 foot jump and Robert
Hoffman close behind with a
14’6” leap for third.
“I was real pleased with to
day’s results,” Coach Charlie
Thomas said after the meet.
“You don’t beat a fine team like
ACC that way every day.”
“We had some unexpe :ted wins
and high placings,” he continued.
“Rockie and Donny did real well
in the high hurdles, and Bubba
Vincent helped us out a lot in
the discus. Since Johnson joined
the team, things are looking up
in the long jump. We have a
good chance of doing real well
with that helping us.”
If the Aggies can continue to
dominate the high jump and pole
vault as they did yesterday, there
will be more such victories com
ing their way. A&M swept both
these events in fine fashion. Add
ing to this the victory in the
long jump, nearly one third of
the team’s total points came in
these three events.
