THE BATTALIOt
McMahan, Black, medley relay set school marks at Kansas
The advance publicity said that
the Texas Aggies were going to
run at the Kansas Relays, and
that they did, setting two new
meet records and three school
marks.
It was relay time again, and
the strength of A&M was shown,
as Coach Charlie Thomas’ track
men prepared for the Southwest
Conference meet two weeks away.
The foursome of Donny Rogers,
Rockie Woods, Marvin Mills, and
Curtis Mills joined together a
year ago to run the 880 relay
faster than anyone else in the
world had before. This past week
end they were but four-tenths of
a second slower, finishing first
in 1:22.1. This was one of the
new meet records.
The other new mark came in
the 440 yard relay. Coming off
of injuries to key personnel, the
quartet of Steve Barre, the Mills
brothers, and Woods sprinted to
their best time of the year. The
Aggies won the race in 39.9, and
they still lead the conference in
this event.
The sprint medley relay unit
of Alan Swagerty, Marvin and
Curtis, and Willie Blackmon set
a new school record, breaking the
old mark by three and a half sec
onds. This race consists of a pair
of 220s, followed by a 440 and an
880. Although these four placed
fourth, they ran a 3:17.8, better
ing the 3:21.3 run by George Ted-
ford, Ed Williams, Curtis Roberts,
and Thad Crooks in Des Moines
nine years ago.
Another school record was
Marc Black’s javelin throw of
236-0 for third place. The old
mark was 234-10 by Dan Meadows
in 1965. This puts the football
fullback 10 inches behind Texas’
Walt Chamberlain in the SWC
race.
Harold McMahan pole vaulted
16-6 to break Henry Rollins’ rec
ord of 16-1set here in 1968.
McMahan tied Rollins’ mark
earlier in the year in a dual meet
with Abilene Christian College.
He finished third at Lawrence
with this vault.
The mile relay was fifth, just
slower than their best time, 3:08,
run in Baton Rouge. The load of
the other three relays causes this
to be the “sacrifice” event, if
such a performance can be labeled
as a shortcoming.
In the open division of the shot
put, Aggie Randy Matson won
with a heave of 68-3Ms. His series
consisted of throws of 67-8,
68-3 %, 67-6y 2 , 67-2, 66-11V 2 , and
67-6%. He has held the world
record of 71-5% since 1967.
With the Kansas performances,
this year’s team, who will defend
their conference crown at Kyle
Field, has set six new school rec
ords this season. Of 20 outdoor
events, this team holds 11 of
them.
At this point, A&M thinclads
lead the conference outright in
five events and are close behind
in several others. The competition
will come from Rice and Texas,
both of whom dominate several
events also.
At the Baylor Invitational this
past weekend, members of the
A&M team who did not make the
trip to Lawrence competed with
similar squads. Edgar Harvey
won the 120 yard high hurdles in
14.6, while James Johnson took
the long jump, leaping 22-7. Both
marks are the best of the year
for the two athletes.
Friday, the Aggies go to the
Drake Relays in Des Moines,
Iowa, where they set the world
record last year in the 880 yard
relay. In addition, they came
away with some beautiful hard
ware, which is displayed in G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
Events in which the Aggies
should be strong at Drake are
the 440, 880, shuttle hurdle, sprint
medley, and mile relays, plus the
javelin, pole vault, and high jump.
Also expected to place are Frank
Ybaro in the mile and David
Morris and David Prince in the
440 yard hurdles.
The shuttle hurdle relay is an
event in which the four team
members run 480 total yards up
and down the track over hurdles.
The foursome of Harvey, Gary
West, Rogers, and Woods, with
Prince as an alternate, should
push a record in this race.

Trimmier and King quarter-
backed the offense most of the
night while Green worked some
at tailback and quarterbacked
both the first and second offen
sive squads.
Junior Brad Dusek from Tem
ple scored three touchdowns, sen
ior Steve Burks one and Green
running from the quarterback
spot also scored.
The Aggies spent most of their
third weekend scrimmage work
ing on their running game as
King did not attempt a pass and
Trimmier missed on his only at
tempt.
But second unit quarterbacks
Green, Kyle, Gary and Mike Rigs
by were the victims of a hard
pass rush from sophomore Bud
Trammell, senior Van Odom and
juniors Max Bird, James Dub-

defensive line, and passes inter
cepted by Odom, linebacker Steve
Luebbehusen, free safety Lee Hitt
and cornerback Ed Ebrom.
The first offense started slow
in the scrimmage moving deep
against the second defense but
fumbling, but after moving the
ball back to the thirty, King
guided them into the end zone,
with Dusek scoring from the 4.
King had a run of 26 yards in
the series and later in the eve-

Rallying behind the scoring of
Donnie Robertson and John Ray-
ton, the Texas A&M Rugby Club
came away from the Austin Invi
tational Rugby Tournament Sun
day carrying the championship
honors.
The Aggies downed the Austin
Rugby club 9-0 in the champion
ship round of the tournament,
which saw nine teams competing
from Dallas, Houston, Austin,
LSU, and A&M.
While on the way to defeating
Austin, the Ags demolished the
team from NASA, 34-6, and
downed the tough Houston team
for the second time this season,
16-9.
This gives the A&M team an
outstanding 7-0 record thus far
in the season with a clean slate
of 4-0 in division play.
Austin, which had been un-
feated for the past two years,
will still have a chance to come
away with the division pennant
if it beats A&M this Saturday.
If A&M wins over Austin, though
the Aggies will have to win their
next two games to stay in the
lead as Austin will have finished
