The A&M team has been work ing out since March 21, with only Sundays, Mondays and the Eas ter holidays off. The Aggies have held four intrasquad scrim mages similar to this weekend’s game. Coach Emory Bellard and his staff have decided to put the first team offense and defense— the Maroon squad — against the second team—the White squad. This has been the format for the previous scrimmages. Lex James will guide the Ma roon offense in the 3 p.m. game. The senior quarterback pulled a hamstring in the first scrimmage of the spring, but he has been working out this week. His un derstudy will be sophomore Don Dean, who doubles as the White quarterback. The remainder of the Maroon backfield has Mark Green at left halfback, Brad Dusek at fullback and John Bounds at right half back. Mike Keese is the split end, and Homer May lines up at tight end. Across the line, Mike Park left tackle, Todd Christo- is the left guard, Skip is at pher Tracksters at Kansas Relays By BILL HENRY Coach Charley Thomas takes a meager squad of 14 to the tough Kansas Relays this weekend hop ing his injured speedsters can come through and make a good appearance. “Our hopes lie mainly in the sprint medley relay,” Thomas conveyed. “We have two good 220-yard dashmen in Billy Porter and Marvin Mills, a good 440 man in Doug Brodhead and a good 880 man in Willie Black mon. We should be contenders for first place if our people re main healthy.” Injuries have been the key to Thomas’ problems this season as he hasn’t taken a completely in- jury-free squad to any meet so far. “Our injuries have really hurt us,” he explains. “We thought we’d have a good club this year but we just haven’t gotten it to gether yet. Injuries have killed The Kansas Relays, held in Lawrence, is one of the nation’s top collegiate meets. Such per formers as Jim Ryun, Randy Matson, Dick Fosberry, Skell Is- sakson, Dave Roberts, A1 Fuer- bach and many others headline the extravaganza. “This meet is comparable to the Texas Relays held a few weeks ago in Austin,” Thomas said. “You really have to have super-performers to qualify for the finals in any event. There are no giveaways at this one.” Like the Texas meet, the main events will be relay races. On the agenda are such relays as the sprint, sprint medley, 880, mile, two-mile and four-mile races. Individual events will include the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, one mile run, six mile run, pole vault, high jump, shot put and discus. The challenge, however, lies in that all individual events are open and anyone can enter. All performers will be competing against Ryun, Matson, etc., on an even basis. “When you compete against these top performers, you can really tell how good you are in your event,” Thomas said. “It's no longer being the conference best but being the best in the world. When you win in Kansas, you know you are a great ath lete.” Aggies traveling to the meet this weekend are Phil McQuire, high jump; Marvin Taylor, high jump; Harold McMahan, pole vault, Alan Swaggerty, 440-re lay; Frank Ybarbo, six mile; Tim Brown, discus; Scotty Jones, 120- yard high hurdles; Edgar Har vey, 120-yard high hurdles, David Prince, 440 - yard intermediate hurdles, Blackmon, Mills, Porter, Brodhead and Wayne Mills. After the return home, next weekend the Aggies will venture back to the Midwest to compete in the Drake Relays. This meet will be held in Des Moines, Iowa and will also draw some of the nation’s best athletes. All the top performers won’t compete at Drake as the Penn Relays in Philadelphia are sched uled the same weekend. Living in Houston can be rewarding. FREE CHECKING FOR LIFE.
