Moore Chaplain \ Track fans were treated to a Southwest Conference rarity, an Aggie win in the mile run, as A&M won a triangular meet with SMU and TCU Saturday on Kyle Field. A&M found no real contest in the team competition as the Ag gies ran up a whopping total of 96 points to easily outdistance SMU’s 45 and the Horned Frogs’ 28. There were plenty of contests in the individual events as upsets and season bests seemed to rule the day. The biggest surprise of the meet had to be Jacob Yemme’s win in the mile. The Aggie sopho more from Ghana entered the meet with a best personal time of 4:25.1 and was expected to be no more than a slight bother to SMU miler Jeff Dixon. Yemme started back of the pack and stayed in eighth place in the nine- man field while A&M’s Paul Goodman took the lead to provide the pace. Dixon took the lead on the third lap and opened it up at the gun to stretch to a 12-yard lead over Yemme. Down the back- stretch it looked as if it would be Dixon's race all the way home but Yemme began to narrow the dis tance between the two going in to the turn. Coming down home stretch, Yemme picked up eight yards and caught the Mustang about 15 yards from the finish. Dixon put on a final burst of speed to try and hold off Yemme but the Aggie lunged at the tape to take first. Yemme’s time was 4:14.43 while Dixon was clocked at 4:14.49. A&M’s Pat Bradley and Danny Jones finished third and fourth, respectively, as the much-improved Jones ran one of the best miles of his career.

ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE “Where satisfaction is standard equipment" 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 sweep of the event. A crowd ga thered as he went after a school record and set the bar at the mys tical 7-foot mark but he could not quite come up with the required leap. The win was a personal tri umph for McGuire as it proved to be his finest effort since a 6-10% mark two years ago as a freshman. McGuire hurt his ankle the fall of his sophomore year and was hindered all last season. He has been jumping well this year and it appears he has final ly completed the long comeback from injury. Shifton Baker was the most prolific Aggie scorer, finishing second in three events and third in another. The freshman sensa tion from Elgin cleared 6-2% in his first attempt of the year at the high jump to take second and was also runner-up in the long jump (21-10) and the 120-yard high hurdles (15.0). He has done much better times than his 55.1 third-place finish in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles but he was undoubtedly tiring from the long day of work. Other Aggie winners include: Tom Owen in the long jump (22- 6%), Scottie Jones in the 120- yard high hurdles (14.4), Tim Brown in the discus (140-5), Brad Blair in the pole vault (15-0) and Charles Dawson in the 100 (9.7). SMU and TCU will both be back Saturday to compete in the Col lege Station Relays along with A&M, Houston, Baylor and La mar University. Some of the top prep athletes in the state will also be compet ing in the high school division of the meet Saturday. BLOW HIM UP!
