gies for the Texas State Cham
pionship.
Last year the A&M team was
undefeated in all its games and
had to beat Rice for the state
title. This year, with seven start
ers due to graduate, the Aggie
team is aiming for another win
ning note on which to end the
season. Galveston, however, has
the same notion and will be field
ing a powerful, hard-hitting team
in its effort to spoil the Aggies’
game.
Against Austin Black, A&M
showed much, but not up to the
potential of which it has. Despite
20 minutes of frantic defense
which was caused by the determ
ined, fired-up Austin attack, the
Aggies dominated most of the
game with disciplined team work.
Mark Anthony and Bob Elmore
in particular were prominent in
their leaping for the ball. Bill
Scherle, Aaron Gaboon, Steve
Stewman and Giles Fort time and
again broke through to flatten
the Austin attack.
Scoring for the Aggies were
Mark Fischer, Butch Preston,
John Gunn and Don Robertson.
Fischer and Robertson claimed a
try each and Gunn kicked a pen
alty goal from 40 yards out and
30 feet wide of the posts. Preston
had darted within a foot of the
Austin line where he was stopped
with an accidental blow on the
head. He drop-kicked a goal from
20 yards the next time he got the
ball.

Yeriato leads Aggies |
to SWC golf championship!
A five-man squad, led by de
fending champion Steve Veriato,
will represent the Texas Aggies
in the Southwest Conference golf
tournament this weekend at Fay
etteville, Ark.
In addition to Veriato, the Ag
gie team will be made up of
Randy Tickner, Clay Dozier, Tom
my Gilbert and Tom Johnson.
The squad will leave today and
will play a practice round over
the Paradise Valley Golf Club
course Wednesday.
Veriato’s chances for a repeat
look slim as this year’s meet will
include the two Texas stars, Ben
Crenshaw and Tom Kite. Last
year the entire Texas team chose
not to compete for conference
honors.
Texas is also expected to de
throne defending champ Texas
Tech in overall team play. The
Longhorns took the 1971 SWC
match Play tournament in Octo
ber, finishing three points ahead
of SMU. Crenshaw took individual
honors with a 207 over 54 holes,
which was 16 strokes ahead of
second place finisher Eddie Vos-
sler of TCU.
The 54-hole tournament is
scheduled for Thursday and Fri
day with 27 holes played each
day.
The team medal play will be
figured on the low four scores
of the five players allowed for
each team.
Crenshaw, individual favorite,
was the first freshman ever to
win the national collegiate tour
ney last year. He also lists such
honors as first place amateur
finisher at the recent Masters
tourney, Eastern and Southern
amateur titlist and a tie for low

Frustration hits Ags again
at Kansas Relays meet
The Kansas Relays again piled
frustration on Coach Charley
Thomas and his Aggie track team
this past weekend.
Thomas had hoped to field a
strong sprint medley relay team
at the meet but did so only in
the preliminary run.
The Aggies took first place by
over 20 yards in the prelims but
disaster struck in the finals. Billy
Porter led off the first 220-yard
leg and was to give the baton to
Marvin Mills for the second 220
leg but the baton fell to the
ground before the exchange was
ever completed and the Aggies
were disqualified.
In the 120-yard high hurdles,
Scotty Jones won his preliminary
heat but pulled up lame in the
semifinal run. Due to his injury,
he will not be able to participate
in the Drake Relays scheduled in
Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend.
A&M’s mile relay failed to
qualify and the 880-yard relay
had to be scratched due to an
injured knee by Marvin Mills
which occurred when he was try
ing to recover the dropped baton
in the sprint medley relay.

“We really looked good in the
prelims,” Thomas said. “I was
really pleased and thought we
were going to run away with the
sprint medley. I don’t know what
the problem was, but our whole
season has been like that.”
Marvin Taylor got a nod of
approval from Thomas by plac
ing fourth in the high jump at
6-10, his best of the year.
Harold McMahan waited until
the pole vault bar was placed at
16-0 before entering competition
but failed to make that height
and did not qualify.
Doug Brodhead, injured since
the College Station Relays nearly
a month ago, did not participate
as expected but Thomas feels he
will be ready for this week’s ac
tion.
At Drake, A&M will be repre
sented in the high jump by Tay
lor and McMahan in the pole
vault in the individual competi
tion while the sprint medley, mile
and 880-yard relay teams will be
in action.
These teams will be made up by
Willie Blackmon, Horace Grant,
Brodhead and Robert Brew. Two
alternates will also be taken as
well as two 220-yard dashmen.
These two printers will be picked
later in the week when Thomas
conducts a run-off between the
team’s 220 men.
