All or nothing
Texas series
Ags go for repeat of track title
in
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sport Editor
You can forget that the Texas Aggies have a 29-6 record and that
the University of Texas at Austin has a 30-9 record.
You can forget that John Langerhans of the Longhorns has 58
runs batted in and Dave Elmendorf 19 for the Aggies in only 20 games.
And you can also put aside the fact that Burt Hooten has a 10-1
record with 0.77 era for Texas and Paul Czerwinski a 6-1 standard with
1.17 earned run average.
Well, maybe not forget them, but for all practical purposes those
statistics can be forgotten because what happens next Monday and
Tuesday on Kyle Field will put the hopes and dreams of either the Ags
or Texas out the window. The three-game series that is slated to begin
at 1 p.m. Monday with a doubleheader will decide the Southwest
Conference championship.
If either of the teams wins both ends of the doubleheader
Monday, then Tuesday’s game will be only for a matter of pride.
If you will recall, a year ago the Aggies visited Austin in a series
that also when completed would decide the conference champion. But
the Aggies had to win three and on enemy territory the Longhorns won
the second game of the doubleheader 8-0 behind Hooten and took all
the fun out of the rest of the series. This year, however, neither team
must win three—it’s a matter of two out of three. Both teams will be at
a psychological apex knowing that they don’t have to win every game.
The Aggies will have the home field advantage and if you were at
the Tech series on Saturday a few weeks back you probably noticed
that a few people didn’t have a seat (a few thousand). If it’s any
consolation, business manager Wally Groff says that there will be about
1,000 additional seats put down the rightfield line.
The series was originally set for Friday and Saturday of this week
but due to the Southwest Conference spring meets this weekend,
officials thought it was just too much to have a series they felt would
decide the championship being played at the same time as the spring
meets. And so they moved it back and the series will indeed determine
the league champion.
The Longhorns had a prayer answered last weekend when the
Texas Christian University Horned Frogs caught the Aggies in Fort
Worth. When A&M left they had been beaten three times, and the
teams were tied for the top spot. Texas-Austin had gotten behind early
in the campaign falling twice to Baylor in the season opening series and
then dropping one to Tech the next weekend in Austin.
So now both squads are tied.
Going back to the records, the Aggies at one time were 29-3 with
win streaks of 10 and 11 so they’ve proven they can win and
considering the fact that they’ve won 12 of 15 one run decisions, the
mark of a good team under pressure.
The Longhorns have overcome the loss of some top starters from
last year and behind the bombing of Langerhans (12 homers and 58
runs batted in), David Chalk (5 homers and 54 runs batted in) and Walt
Rothe (9 homers and 40 runs batted in) have been unbelievable on their
run production.
But as was mentioned before you can forget what has happened
before because it’s what happens Monday and Tuesday that counts and
nothing else.
Uy JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
The one that counts is finally
here, and past performances are
cast aside in favor of the actual
events to determine the 1971
Southwest Conference Track and
Field champion.
A&M is the defending title
holder, but strong competition
will come from Texas and Rice,
with several Aggies overcoming
injuries to run tomorrow and Sat
urday.
It will take a lot of effort and
desire from people like Curtis
Mills, Rockie Woods, Don Kellar,
Gary West, and Donny Rogers to
be at their best in the number
of races they will be running.
On top of that, Marvin Mills
will compete, but only in individ
ual races, following his leg in
jury at the Drake Relays last
week. The younger Lufkin sprint
er will be in the 100 and the 220.
“We’re going to run Marvin,”
Coach Charlie Thomas said, “but
we won’t chance losing a relay if
he gets hurt.”
Thomas said that he sees stiff-
er competition from Texas than
Rice, due to their depth. He
added that he hoped the meet
would not be decided on the mile
relay. It could be that close.
Rogers, a sophomore, will be in
the 100, 220, 120 hurdles, and the
sprint relay. He has a 9.5 in the
century, 21.2 in the furlong, and
has run every week on the 440
relay squad that has won ten
races this season.
“Donny is capable of scoring
in all three of his individual
events,” Thomas said. “I think
his best chance is the 220.”
Marc Black has peaked in the
javelin, and the football star set
a new school record with a throw
of 236-0 at the Kansas Relays. He
is just behind Texas' Walt
Chamberlain, and a win here
could cut valuable points from
the Owls and the Longhorns.
just an A&M athletic evei
Aggies will not be admitted
their activity cards. One tici
is good for both days.
“Our big events will have to
be the 100, 220, the hurdles, pole
vault, and high jump,” the coach
said. “We’ll have to come through
in these if we want to win again.”
Woods was pulled from action
last week when Marvin hurt him
self, but he will be ready for the
big one this weekend. The senior
sprinter, who has won the 100
twice in conference, is scheduled
to run the 100, 220, 120 yard high
hurdles, and the 440 relay. His
best this year has been a 9.4
century, but he is capable of
better if he is pushed, and he will
have competition this time.
Kellar has been trying to get
over a leg injury, but he will run
the 440 yard hurdles and the
mile relay. He hasn’t hurdled in
several weeks, but he has been
running on the mile relay team.
West, a freshman, is going to
run both hurdles events. He ran
a 14.0 the same day that Woods
had his 13.8, and has a best time
of 53.1 in the intermediates.
One of the best races of the
meet could be the 880. Dave
Morton of Texas will be battling
it out with Rice’s Steve Straub.
A&M sophomore Willie Blackmon
will be right in there. An upset
in the half mile could be the
deciding factor.

Ben Greathouse
Also, he has a conference best
of 13.8, a new school record, in
the high hurdles. He leads the
conference in the 220 with a 21.1.
In addition, he anchors the sprint
relay unit which has turned in a
39.9, fastest in the league.
World record holder Curtis will
be busy, too. He and Woods will
be trying to repeat as high point
man, Curtis claiming the honor a
year ago and Woods winning it
in 1969. Curtis is defending
champ in the 220 and quarter
mile. He will run a leg on the
440 relay and anchor the mile
relay.
Ben Greathouse will defend the
conference title in the high jump,
but teammate Marvin Taylor
leads the conference at this time.
Rice’s Dave Roberts is unde
feated this year in the pole vault,
but Harold McMahan, Robert
Hoffman, and Larry McIntyre
could get more points with solid
finishes.
Some others who are pressing
the leaders are Steve Barre, who
will run the 100 and lead off the
sprint relay, David Morris and
David Prince, a pair of hurdlers
who could help with some points,
and Robert Brew, who leads off
the mile relay and could place in
the 6pen quarter.
Another important person is
Frank Ybarbo. The distance ace
will be doubling in the three mile
and the mile. The hopes of the
Aggies will be riding on his abil
ity to score in both races.
Things get under way at 11
a.m. Friday, when the pole vault
begins. The field events are
scheduled for 1 p.m. Running
prelims start at 4 p.m. to finish
Friday’s action. The finals start
at 7 p.m. Saturday, starting with
the sprint relay and ending with
the mile relay at about 8:40 p.m.
