STAMPEDE Every Thursday Nite (ALL BRANDS BEER 35*) Cindermen travel to Drake Relays High hurdles, mile relay highlight Aggie weekend hopes SENIORS Do something meaningful! By TED BORISKIE Assistant Sports Editor While much of the track squad is healing from various injuries, coaches Charles Thomas and Ted Nelson take a 15-man unit to the Drake Relays in Des Moines this weekend. Sprinters Sam Dierschke, Charles Dawson and Gerald D’Ambrosio will stay home to nurse sore legs, thereby negating any chance for an Aggie entry in the 440-yard relay. The mile relay team of Harold Davis, Horace Grant, Craig Mc- Phail and Doug Brodhead sped to their season’s best time last week at Kansas with a 3:11.6 in the preliminaries. They finished third in the finals with a rain-slowed time of 3:15.1. Ron McGonigle, Shifton Baker, Adolph Tingan and Pat Bradley form the distance medley relay team for A&M with McGonigle running the opening leg of 880 yards. McGonigle has been twarted in running a good half-mile in the first two ma jor meets this year as the two- mile relay tearp was scratched at the Texas Relays two weeks Please send me current information and an application Name I I Single I I Married Gridders prepare Permanent Address for weekend game City State Graduation Date ACTION WASHINGTON.

C. 20525 L J The Texas Aggies didn’t work long but they covered a lot of things in Wednesday’s spring football practice session. They drilled about an hour and 15 minutes with the offense re hearsing virtually all of its at tack while the defense drilled on various assignments and align ments. It’ll be an experienced first team that takes on the second team during the first half of Sat urday afternoon’s final spring game at Kyle Field. All 11 defensive starters are back from last year and 10 of the 11 offensive starters return. Full back Bucky Sams is the only non starter but he saw a great deal of action last fall. The offense has only one sen ior-to-be, center Ricky Seeker. There’ll be two sophomores — quarterback David Walker and right guard Billy Lemons—and the other eight will be juniors. They include tight end Richard Osborne, split end Carl Roaches, tackles Glenn Bujnoch and Den nis Smelser, left guard Bruce Welch, halfbacks Bubba Bean and Skip Walker and Sams. The defense will be a mite old er. There’ll be seven seniors and four juniors. The seniors are ends Don Long and Paul Mulin, tackles Warren Trahan and Ted Lamp, middle linebacker Ken Stratton, cornerback Tim Gray and safety James Daniels. The juniors in clude linebackers Ed Simonini and Garth Ten Napel, cornerback Pat Thomas and safety Jackie Williams. The Aggies will work again Thursday and then will be off Friday. Saturday’s game is sched uled for 1:30 p.m. at Kyle Field. Admission will be $3.00 for adults, $1.00 for high school age and younger. A&M students will be admitted on their ID cards and A&M faculty-staff will get in on the covers of last year’s season ticket books.

Baker will run the sec ond leg of 440 yards. Although he anchored the mile relay team for Elgin High School last year, Baker has not had many oppor tunities to run the quarter this year as he has been mainly con fined to the hurdles. Tingan will run the 1320-yard leg while Bradley will anchor with the mile. Scottie Jones will be the Ag gies’ top individual entry and should be well remembered by Drake fans as he holds part of the Relays’ record of 13.5 in the 120-yard high hurdles. Jones ran a 13.6 last week at Kansas and could rewrite the record book again this year with a good per formance. Baker is also entered with a best time of 14.1. Bill Newton could be one of the top competitors in the jave lin if he is completely recovered from a knee injury suffered a month ago. Newton was throw ing around 220 feet before hurt ing his knee in a non-track relat ed injury and has not been over 210 since. Tom Owen will be attempting a comeback in the long jump after pulling a hamstring at LSU April 6. This will be Owen’s first ap pearance since his injury but his best of 24-5% is still the third best mark in the conference. Don Riggs will be the sole Ag gie entry in the high jump as Phil McGuire will stay home to interview for Vet school. Riggs has a best of 6-8 this year, a mark he has achieved several times. Success at greater heights has managed to elude him as he learns the mechanics of “flop ping” in his first year jumping in the style. Craig Carter is coming off a shot put victory Saturday at the Baylor Invitational but will be facing a much tougher field at the prestigious Midwest meet.
