Pa«e 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1974 Married life helping Ag trackster Horace Grant finds someone to work for SI Horance Grant, A&M junior middle distance runner, married his Houston high school sweet heart just 23 days ago and thinks “married life will help me.” “I have more responsibility. I look at things differently. I have someone to run and work for,” adds Grant. Grant is especially looking for ward to the first Southwest Con ference Indoor Championships here Friday night. He usually runs the 880 out doors but will step down to the 600 indoors and anchor the Ag gies’ mile relay team. He says running indoors is more physical, race strategy dif ferent and exciting. “It doesn’t matter which guy is in the best condition,” he says. “It’s the one who gets out front first.” On that small track, it’s hard to pass on a curve. “It can be painful, too. You catch a lot of elbows running so close. You bet, I can poke with my elbows. It’s every man for himself.” Anchoring the mile relay team will be something new in college, although he handled the chore with distinction at Houston Jones when his team set a national rec ord of 3:12. “Our mile relay team is com ing along good. I think we can give Texas a pretty good race,” predicts Grant. Texas lost only one race out doors last year, finishing second in the NCAA mile relay. Aggie coach Charlie Thomas indicates he will go with sopho mores Harold Davis and Sammy Dierschke and junior Doug Brod- head in the mile relay. Davis, Brodhead, Grant and the now graduated Willie Blackmon team ed to carry A&M to third in the SWC last year and seventh in the NCAA finals. Grant is grateful to the Fort Worth Coaches Association for changing its indoor meet’s for mat from an open division to the SWC indoor championships. “This will provide new incen tive for all the track and field people in the conference,” says Grant. “I look for some great performances.” R.A.P i By VIC Studt tamu have a istratio Studi 35-H b day nig ment o hers ar the Texans dominate NFL college draft Horace Grant Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.
