SANDWICHES SUBMARINES ‘Where no two sandwiches are alike!” Situated Right at Northgate ^Kesami J^anirfutclj J^ljoppe Best quality and flavor sandwiches and subs available—anywhere, anytime. 329 University Dr. 11 a. m. til 1 a. m. 846-6428 OUT-A-SITE SALADS CHEESECAKES Dave Roberts and Paul Geis returned to Houston Saturday to thrill fans in the Astrodome National Federation Track and Field Meet. A&M, though not overly im pressive, fared well in the four events entered, finishing second in the mile relay and fourth in the two-mile relay, wtih Scottie Jones finishing fifth in the 120- yard high hurdles and Phil Mc Guire grabbing fourth place in the high jump. Former Rice star Roberts set a meet record as he cleared 17-2 in the pole vault. Roberts, who graduated last year, was three time NCAA champ in the pole vault although he managed to capture the Southwest Confer ence title only once. Houstonian Geis, running for the University of Oregon, ran the fastest indoor two-mile of his career and set an Astrodome record in the process as he turned in a blazing 8:24.8 for the dis tance, just two seconds off the American indoor record. Geis won the SWC three-mile championship as a freshman when he ran for Rice two years ago but he transferred to Oregon for the track program and the stiffer competition. A&M’s mile relay team turned in a good time of 3:12.0 but could take only second behind Baylor and a disqualified SMU team. Leadoff man Harold Davis had to fight his way through a crowd to hand off the baton to Sammy Dierschke in third place. Diersch- ke gave Doug Brodhead the baton among the leaders and Brodhead outfought Baylor’s James Jordon to give anchorman Horace Grant a three-yard lead. Troubled by a virus earlier in the week, Grant was unable to hold off Baylor’s Tim Son or SMU’s Joe Pouncy but did withstand a final stretch charge by Texas’ ace 440-man, Don Sturgal. The Aggies’ two-mile relay team of Pat Bradley, Jacob Yemme, Ron McGonigle and Adolf Tingan improved their time 18 seconds over the previous week's meet in Fort Worth.

World record-holder Dwight Stones was the only one to clear 6-11 and went on to make the winning height of 7-1. Jones got off to a bad start in the hurdles and did not regain his balance until a third of the way through the race to account for his disappointing finish in the 120 highs. Winner in last week’s SWC indoor champion ships, Texas’ Randy Lightfoot also had trouble in the early going and quit midway through the race. SMU’s Gene Pouncy turned in the night’s biggest upset when he defeated world record holder Steve Williams and Olympian Don Quarrie in the invitational 100-yard dash.
