By JOHN CURYLO
Coach Charlie Thomas takes
his track team to Dallas tomor
row for a meet with three other
Southwest Conference squads.
This quadrangular meet should
give further indication of the
Golfers meet
Aggies’ ability to defend their
title.
SMU, TCU, and Texas Tech
will provide the opposition for
the team that beat Abilene Chris
tian soundly Tuesday.
The Aggies are expected to
win, since marks released by the
conference office this week show
A&M in good shape so far.
Harold McMahan, Larry Mc
Intyre, and Robert Hoffman are
2-3-4, behind Rice’s Dave Rob
erts. Another sweep is expected
here. Marc Black looks solid in
the javelin, leading the league at
234-3.

p.m. when they host the Texas
Tech University Red Raiders on
In the field events, Ben Great-
house and Marvin Taylor are
tied for third at 6-8. No athletes
from the three competitors this
week are in the top six, so things
look good here for the fourth
week in a row.
Curtis Mills has a good thing
going in the running events. If
he runs the 440 yard dash, it
should be his. His 45.9 leads
the conference and his 9.5 in the
100 is right up there with A&M’s
Steve Barre. Rockie Woods has
a 9.6.
Curtis has a 21.5 in the 220
and Woods a 21.4. In addition,
the relay teams are both in first.
The sprint relay turned in a 40.7
at Abilene to jump into the early
lead. The mile relay school rec
ord of 3:08.0 is better than the
rest, and these should be favor
ites for the conference meet in

Don Kellar ran a 52.0 in the
440 yard intermediate hurdles in
Laredo and a 62.2 Tuesday.
These times are just ahead of
SMU’s Larry Eubanks, so fans
will be in for another good race

they didn’t want to play within
the rules of the league.
The Aggies have four letter-
men back from last year ready
to go against the Raiders, who
return, Jim Whittaker, the
eighth-place finisher in the
league’s medal tournament. Steve
Veriato, 10th in medal play, and
a sophomore from Hilo, Hawaii,
lead the team. Tommy Johnson,
another sophomore letterman
from Harlingen and a couple of
two year junior lettermen, Tom
Gilbert from Jacksboro and Tom
my Sheltoii from College Station
round out the team.
The Texas Aggie football team
opens spring practice Tuesday
afternoon as it tries to put the
image of a 2-9 season behind it.
More than 100 prospective
candidates, including returning
squadmen and lettermen, players
from the freshman team and
probably several tryouts are ex
pected to be on hand for the
workouts.
The Aggies will be minus only
four players from last year’s
squad who have finished their
eligibility. Defensive back Dave
Elmendorf, offensive guard Jim
Parker, punter Jimmy Sheffield
and defensive lineman and Aggie
Heart Winner Winston Beam
were the only seniors.
Two regulars from last year
will miss workouts due to their
physical condition. Lex James,
the Aggies’ starting quarterback
last year as a sophomore, will
be confined to his bed at his
home in Houston with infectious
hepatitis. Defensive lineman
Bruce Best is recovering from a
detached retina, which he had
operated on recently.
Several Aggie Gridders are
dividing their time between foot
ball and track during the spring
with shot putters Mitch Robert
son and Clifton Thomas, javelin
thrower Marc Black and hurdler
Eric Elkins.
No official date for the end of
workouts has been announced by

rules.
Current plans by Stallings are*
to eliminate the annual sprin|f
game, which concludes tht
spring’s workouts. This is the'
game for which a paid admis
sion is charged. There still will
be, however, numerous regular
scrimmages, probably on Satur
days.
A golf tournament annually
held for the press the day be
fore the spring game will not be
held this year. It had been fin
anced by the spring game but
the fact that the Southwest Con
ference spring championships in
golf, tennis and track will be held
here about the same time had a
bearing on the cancellation of
the tournament.
A&M rugby teams
play at Dallas
The Texas A&M Rugby Club
hits the road this weekend to be
gin a long, hard series of seven
rugby matches. They’ll be mov
ing into Dallas for a pair of
games slated to begin at 2 and 4
p.m. at Glen Coe Park Saturday.
The club is boasting a 1-0 rec
ord for its A&M I team, and a
1-2 one for its A&M II squad.
Coach Roger Boos expects an
all-around good effort from his
first team over the Dallas Rug
by Club, but he’s not overly opti
mistic about his second team,
which is playing Dallas Harle
quin.
“The second team is a little
weak in the backfield,” com
mented Boos, “but the first team
is in good shape all over. Bar
ring any stupid moves, we should
be able to take both matches.’’
Netters rained out
The first-round action of the
Rice Invitational Tennis tourna
ment, including the Texas Ag
gies, was postponed because of
rain in Houston Thursday morn
ing.
First-round action was to be
tried again this morning.
The netters play the Oklahoma
City University Monday at 1:30
p.m. in an intersectional battle
on varsity courts.
