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. It
was good for fourth place behind

McGuire turned in his best
jump of the young season as he
cleared 6-9 to take fourth in the
high jump. 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.
