Based on the World-Wide Best-SeUng Book A UNIVERSAL/PLAYBOY PICTURf TECHNICOLOR- 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.

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.

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.
