The A&M track squad offered
its worst performance of the sea
son at the Dallas Invitational
Track Meet Saturday, finishing
last in the seven-team meet.
Nothing seemed to go right for
the injured Aggies as they failed
to place a man higher than third
in any event and scored points in
only four.
USC took the team champion
ship with 147 points followed by
Texas with 119 and the Univer
sity of Texas at El Paso with 92.
Oklahoma State was far back in
third with 43 while Rice had 39,
SMU 28 and the Aggies rounded
out the scoring with 15.
The meet was not without im
pressive performances, however,
as UTEP’s Chris Garpenborg
sped to a wind-aided 9.1 in the
100-yard dash and schoolboy Bill

Blessing of Dallas Hillcrest set a
national high school record in the
330-yard hurdles with a 35.9 sec
ond effort.
The meet started out on a fore
boding note for the Aggies as
Bill Newton failed to place in the
javelin, the only finals held in
the morning. Newton, throwing
with a sore knee injured in a
non-track related accident Wed
nesday, got off a throw of 181
feet in the preliminaries. The
mark, although 36 feet short of
his best effort of the season, was
enough to qualify him for the fi
nals but intense pain prevented
him from participating further.
Stellar sprinter Sam Diersch-
ke’s groin injury, suffered last
week in the College Station Re
lays, prevented the Aggies from
fielding a 440-yard relay team but
the Southwest Conference was
well represented as SMU won the
event with a 40.1 clocking. USC
had a three-yard lead after the
third leg but a terrible handoff
and a great anchor by SMU’s
Gene Pouncy gave the race to
the Mustangs. The Trojans had
to be satisfied with third place
and a time of 40.4 behind UTEP’s
40.2. Texas failed to make the
final handoff for the third
straight week.
UTEP’s Wilson Waigwa ran
away from all other runners in
the mile, breaking the tape with
a 4:10.4 timing. After an excru
ciating slow opening two laps,
Waigwa burst to the lead, never
to be challenged. Texas’ Reed
Fischer was 20 yards behind and
losing ground as Waigwa crossed

the finish.
Longhorn Nate Robinson was
a surprise winner in the 120-
yard high hurdles, besting a good
field with a time of 13.8. Scottie
Jones turned in the best perform
ance of the day for A&M, plac
ing third behind USC’s O. G. Wil
liams.
Texas’ Don Sturgal returned
to his winning ways after getting
off to a slow start the first of
the season. Sturgal breezed to a
46.7 first in the 440-yard dash,
edging USC’s Trevor Campbell
at the tape. Doug Brodhead fin
ished sixth for the Aggies with a
49.4.
The Aggies saw the last of
their big hopes dashed in the
running of the 100-yard dash as
Charles Dawson pulled up after
running the first third of the
race in the lead with Garpen
borg.
“I must have hurt my leg last
week,” said Dawson. “It was
hurting the first part of the week
but I thought it was just the cold
weather.”
The injury also prevented Daw

Spring rally
results funny
The Texas A&M Sports Car
Club held a spring rally on
Saturday with some humorous
results.
Bob Chaney was given the
dubious honor of “most original
scoresheet.” Chaney got lost and
spent the time writing a small
essay in answer to the questions
on the rally sheet.
Steve Goble won the award for
best genuflection. A checkpoint
rule required that a car’s occupant
genuflect thrice before presenting
his scoresheet. Apparently Goble’s
two-kneed effort was tops. His
“Indian Paintbrush,” Frank, also
was the winner in the plant
identification category.
Vernon Anderson and Delbert
Stanley took first in a Corvette
just ahead of Pat White and
Dennis Krisey in a Vega.
Casey Stengel and partner
Corish in a BMW were the only
other team to find the finish line
out of 14 starters.
Rallymaster Bill Williams
pointed out that Anderson would
conduct a school on how to run a
rally at the TAMSCC meeting on
April 10 for those interested. He
will have final examinations on
the 13th.
which SMU’s Joe Pouncy took in
a breeze with a 20.6.
Tom Andrews of Southern Cal
raced to a 51.4 time in the 330-
yard hurdles to outclass the rest
of the field which included A&M’s
Shifton Baker and Craig Mc-
Phail, who finished fifth and
sixth, respectively. Both Baker
and McPhail won their prelimi
nary heats.
The Aggie mile relay team man
aged to look impressive in post
ing its best time of the season
with a 3:12.3 as Brodhead came
from behind to nip Rice’s Lin
Bingham at the tape. USC was
first with a 3:07.5 with Texas
runner-up at 3:09.0.
Other winners include USC’s
James Baxter in the 880 with a
time of 1:50.1; Longhorn Bishop
Dolegiewicz with a 62-3% mark
in the shot put; and Gerald Hard
eman of USC with a 26-1*4 leap
in the long jump.
Texas’ Tim Patton won the
three-mile run with a time of
14:02.5 while Larry Jessee of
UTEP was tops in the pole vault,
clearing 17-4.
Blessing had a little trouble
with the first third of the inter
mediate hurdles but soon caught
stride to win easily. He bettered
a mark of 36.3 set in 1972 and
had set the national high school
record in the 120-yard high hur
dles earlier this season with a
13.4. He ran a 13.5 in winning at
Dallas.
