TWS Sets Labor Day Race
Excitement Building for 500 Miter
Bill Marvel, vice president and
general manager of Texas World
Speedway, said that the recent
announcement of a 500 mile Indy
care race at TWS has created a
tremendous amount of enthusiasm
among Texas sports fans. The
race is' set for next Labor Day
weekend.
Marvel, a transplant from Po-
cono International Raceway in
Long Pond, Pa., completed nego
tiations last Wednesday with the
United States Auto Club for the
fourth and final 500 miler on
the 1974 racing schedule.
“Although the race is ten
months away, we have already
begun receiving phone calls about
tickets,” said Marvel. “I think
this is a good indication that we
are offering the fans something
that they have been waiting for.”
The inaugural 600 miler at
TWS will pay a guaranteed purse
of $250,000. The purse should
swell to over $350,000 after the
addition of accessory money,
making the event one of the rich
est in the history of auto racing.
The format will include almost
a full week of racing activities.
Practice is set to begin on Mon
day, August 26 and continue
through Tuesday. The 33 start-

ing berths will be determined

uled for Wednesday and Thurs
day. Friday is reserved for a
morning practice session for the
33 fastest qualifiers, who will be
taking the green flag on Sunday,
September 1 for the start of the
first annual event.
Marvel said that plans are
being made for a pre-race festival
to take place Friday afternoon
NEW YORK (AP)—Tom Sea-
ver of the New York Mets be
came the first non-20-game win
ner to capture the Cy Young
Award Tuesday when he was vot
ed the outstanding National
League pitcher of 1973 by the
Baseball Writers Association of
America.
Seaver, who posted a 19-10 rec
ord in anchoring the National
League champions’ pitching staff,
received 10 first-place votes and
71 points in beating out reliever
Mike Marshall of Montreal, who
got nine first-place ballots and 54
points.
Ron Bryant of San Francisco,
24-12 and the league’s only 20-
game winner this past season, was
third with three first-place votes
and 50 points.
The other two first place votes
from a committee of two writers
from bach of the league’s two
cities went to Cincinatti’s Jack
Billingham who got 30 points. He
was followed by Don Sutton of
Los Angeles, Fred Norman of Cin
cinnati and Dave Giusti of Pitts
burg'.
and all day Saturday. “At this
time, plans are indefinite; but we
hope to put together a parade
featuring drivers and visiting
celebrities, along with non-racing
activities such as a Texas style
barbeque.”
Marvel concluded that he felt
the prestigious 500 mile event
would be one of the biggest at
tractions of any kind ever to be
held in the Southwest.
No candidate was named on all
24 ballots. Seaver was picked on
21, Bryant on 18 and Marshall
and Billingham on 14 each.
Five points were awarded for a
first-place vote three for a second
and one for a third.
“I really didn’t think I’d win,”
said Seaver, who became the
fourth pitcher to win more than
one Cy Young Award. “It really
was a surprise because so much
importance is placed on 20 victor
ies. But all the other numbers
were there and I am glad the vot
ers noticed them.”
The 28-year-old right-hander,
who also won the award in 1968,
led the league with 251 strike
outs and a 2.08 earned-run aver
age. He pitched 290 innings, had
18 complete games in 36 starts,
posted three shutouts and gave
up 219 hits and 64 walks.
Marshall’s finish was the high
est ever for a relief pitcher in Cy
Young voting, Marshall appeared
in 92 games for Montreal, had a
14-11 record and saved 31 games.
He had a hand in 45 of the 70
games won by the Expos.

THE BATTALION
Wednesday, October 31, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 9

By KEVIN COFFEY, Sports Editor
Statistics are sometimes deceiving and so are school
records. The 1973 Texas Aggies are a good example of
this at work.
The Ags are 4-3 so far. this year with still some hopes
of a bowl berth but they are breaking school records at a
pace that resembles a national championship team.
The Ags have broken no fewer than seven school
marks and have very realistic chances of breaking several
more.
Randy Haddox topped a mark of two field goals in a
game with the first three of his career against LSU. He
has tied the record of eight goals in a season. He cur
rently shares that honor with Charlie Riggs of 1967. It is
sure to fall in the next four games.
Haddox has also tied the record for most extra points
in a game with six against Wichita State and is now the
all-time A&M kick scoring champ with 46 points. Riggs
held that record with 39 points via the toe.
Carl Roaches’ 193 yards of kickoff returns against
Boston College set a record and the team’s distance of 226
yards in that same game is yet another Aggie mark.
All those records are already set but there are several
other opportunities to rewrite the books this season.
Roaches has two more marks within his reach. The
speedster split end has 31 career kickoff returns for 811
yards. Larry Stegent returned 39 for 814 yards during
his three year career from 1967 through 1969. That
leaves Roaches just four yards and nine carries short and
he has a year and a half to build on that. He is also just
11 returns and 73 yards short of breaking Dave Elmen-
dorf’s record of 23 for 457 yards in 1970.
Haddox also finds himself in the possibility category
as he needs 12 extra points to reach the mark of 34 set
by Darrow Hooper in 1950.
The team is within grasp of still more records.
The Ags are now averaging 55.7 rushing attempts per
game and need to keep just a 49 run per game mark to
top the 1957 team’s 583 total rushing attempts.
The 1950 record of 2,682 yards rushing is almost cer
tain to fall. A&M would need to average just 189 steps
per game in these remaining four contests and they have
been moving at 275.6 clip through the first seven. Stay
ing at the present pace would tumble the 268.2 average of
the 1950 team. The total offense mark is another sure
bet to fall. The current average of 379.1 is running ahead
of the 366.7 record of that 1950 team.
Other records that may be replaced are kickoff return
average, first downs rushing and total first downs. If the
Aggies keep at their current clip in all of these categories
they will break the record.
A national mark is within the reach of the A&M punt
coverage team. Memphis State allowed just 0.7 yards per
return in 1969 and the Ags have given up 8 yards on 12
returns for a 0.66 average. Texas holds the SWC record
of 59 total yards returned, that coming in 1963.
Many of these disposed marks belonged to the 1950
team which finished 7-4 including a 40-20 victory in the
Presidential Cup, a now defunct bowl game. Going to a
bowl game like they did sounds like a good idea.
