THE BATTALION
Longshots Win at TWS
By MARY RUSSO
Gary Bettenhausen and Roger
(McClusky, an unexpected duo,
/took the Texas World Speed
way’s two Winston — United
States Auto Club trophies, for
the Twin 200’s held Saturday.
1 “This year everybody looks
good—” said Bettenhausen, win
ner of the champion Indy car di
vision.
“There’s always Mario, A1 and
Bobby Unser. Then there’s Mike
Mosely. He’s as overdue as I am
for a little luck. Well, almost as
overdue as I am,’’ continued Bet
tenhausen in a statement made
before the race.
The Saturday was Bettenhaus-
en’s lucky day with Andretti and
Moseley leaving the race with
broken valves and the Unser
brothers with broken pistons.
The rest of the story lay in
the battle between Johnny
Rutherford and Bettenhausen in
lap 89. Rounding the second turn
Bettenhausen slipped by Ruther
ford to take and hold the lead for
the remaining milage.
The track ran fast and clean.
The average speed was 181.92
mph, making this race the fast
est in auto history. The yellow
flag flew only three times for
just 12 laps, and these were slow
ed because of stranded machines
on the fourth turn and a spin-out
into the infield.
Starting in position 14, Betten
hausen said that he felt he had
the race won during the practice
sessions the preceeding day.
“I qualified yesterday with the
same engine I ran with today and
there’s no use throwing an engine
wide open for qualifing times.
The car was working perfectly
and I ran 204 mph at the begin
ning of the race and finished
running 204.”
Driving an Offy engined, Mc-
Larren sponsored Roger Penske,
Bettenhauser took his first un
disputed national win.
“The track is hotter than most
amound the country. I nearly
fried. Taking those high banks
was like driving a Mack Truck
and it really tired my arms out,”
said Bettenhausen about driving
conditions as he stripped to the
waist in an effort to cool off in
the press box.
He made only four pit stops
and never changed a tire. “I knew
in the last' pit stop that it was
time to go after Rutherford. He
came back and when I started
drafting him, he came back again.
It was a matter of when to over
take him.”
Catch him Bettenhausen did
and set an average lap speed of
190.6 for himself. After being
out of the racing scene for four
years after a sprint car acci
dent, a win in the world’s fastest
race was a big change in luck for
Bettenhausen.
Rain became the determining
factor for the second of the 200’s
as A. J. Foyt and McCluskey
battled to the hitter end in the
stock car division of competition.
“Foyt had a different com
pound on his tires and they seem
ed to be blistering. It cost him a
lot of time,” winner McClusky
said.
The speed was 143.92 mph and
it slowed as the race drew to an
end. The top five qualifiers
stayed in the lead throughout the
race, keeping it rather predicta-
able.
Interviews for membership on the 19th Stu
dent Conference on National Affairs Commit
tee of the Memorial Student Center will
held October 8-12. Interested students wi
a minimum GPR of 2.5 overall should apply
the SCON A Desk in the Student Programs
Office of the MSC before Wednesday, October
10.

Water Polo Team Returns
From Impressive Showing
The Ags returned from Califor
nia, the hot bed of U. S. water
polo, with a 7-1 record and a third
place finish in the Northern Cal
ifornia Aquatic Federation Water
Polo Championships.
Speed and conditioning were
the deciding factors in the out
come of the pre-tournament
games. A&M defeated San Fran
cisco State University by a nar
row 9-8 margin, Wednesday.
Thursday, the team put togeth
er an outstanding defense in their
win over West Valley College, 4-3.
Much of the offense rested on
Lester Hamman, Jim Yates and
Steve Prentice.
“It was definitely a disadvan
tage for the team to have to rely
so heavily upon only three of the
seven players, and especially
Hamman for all of our offense,”
said coach Dennis Fosdick.
Thursday evening the team
started playing “as a team” to
defeat the University of Santa
Clara, 10-6. Wade Mattingly, the
alternate goalie, and Mike Van-
derhuTst, starting his first var
sity game for A&M were impres
sive defensively. Doug Adamson,
also in his first start scored four
times.
First game Friday pitted A&M
against Cabrillo College. Eight
of the thirteen field players scored
and the goalies who each played
one half did equally outstanding
jobs. A&M won 17-6.
In their second and third games
Friday, the A&M team’s speed
and strength continued to play
an important role. Team work
and increasing depth on the bench
gave additional strength as they
^supplemented the tiring team.
A&M downed College of San Ma
teo, 9-8, and Modesto College, 9-5,
to gain a berth in the champion
ship round of the tourney.
Saturday morning, the Ags
were defeated by Golden West
College. The half time score of
3-1 was the closest any team had
been to G. W. C. throughout the
tourney. Their experience and the
inability of a very tired group of
A&M players to get untracked in
the second half resulted in a 10-2
loss. Golden West went on to win
the tournament.
Steve Moore, used primarily in
defense situations, scored needed
goals. Co-Captain Steve Sonnon-
berg and Mike McLellan, the two
big men on the team, played key
roles throughout the games both
offensively and defensively.
The A&M poloests will be head
ing for Lubbock to play Texas
Tech Wednesday evening and on
to Albuquerque, New Mexico for
the Lobo Invitational Water Polo
Tournament Friday and Satur
day.

In the consolation game, the
Ags had apparently found their
second wind. The A&M team dom
inated Mt. San Antonio College
11-5 to bring home the 3rd place
trophy in an overall team effort,
every member of the team saw
action and A&M was in control
throughout the game.
The play and leadership of
Hamman and starting goalie Paul
McKinzie were important for the
team. The improvement and
emergence of the other players’
skills was the deciding factor,
though^ Don Reeser, Larry
iSchueckler and Kevin O’Brien
were called upon primarily for
their offensive skills, but did
more than adequate jobs on de
fense.
