Leading the Aggie forces will be :dler Scottie Jones who in the 120-yard high hurdles the last three weeks, at the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays, has not been beaten by a Southwest Conference hurdler although he was not able to win a race himself. Jones is pacing all SWC hurd lers by posting a 13.6 the past two weeks in less than perfect weather for track. Jones is just a tenth of a second off A&M’s school record of 13.5 which 8 for; •uctoij 107 ang and Inut- ideal the uate. tore All Seats $2.50 Interstat e’s CINEMA II 846-6714 UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER WWJAM PETER BLArTVS No Wait For Tickets THE EXORCIST Sat./Sun.—2:40 - 5:00 - 7:20 - 9:40 Nightly At—7:00 - 9:15 he shares with Rockie Woods. Texas’ Nate Robinson and Randy Lightfoot also possess times of 13.6 this season while A&M’s Shifton Baker has turned in a 14.1. Also competing will be Rice’s Mike Fulghum ‘ (14.2) and A&M’s Richard McGilvray (14.6) and Keith Bucy (NT). A&M will also be well represented in the intermediate hurdles with Baker (53.0), Craig McPhail (52.9) and McGilvray (54.2) leading the Aggie charges. The opposition will be form idable, however, with TCU’s Greg Roberts (52.6), Chuck Hodge of Rice (52.2) and Longhorn David Colley (53.4) capable of taking home a win. Also not to be overlooked will be Texas’ returning NCAA champion Robert Primeaux. Breaking an ankle the first part of the season Primeaux is trying to work himself back into the form that saw him win the national championship with a 49.5. The competition should be hot and heavy in the javelin with A&M’s Bill Newton (217-3) facing a trio of tough Longhom opponents, Greg Hackney (224-4), Marty Peterman (206-6) and Walter Kniginyski (202-4). Fulghum (198-6) and Mike Goodwin (195-4) of Rice are other top SWC spear throwers. Texas and Rice have five of the top six times in the 880-yard run with the Longhorns’ Rudolph Griffith (1:50.6), ; John Craig (1:52.0) and Bill Goldapp (1:52.2) and Rice’s Rory Trup (1:52.0) and David Beyer (1:52.7). A&M’s corps of halfmilers, however, can rival the best in the conference as Pat Bradley, Ron McGonigle, Horace Grant and Adolph Tingan have all run under 1:53 in their respective legs of the Aggie two-mile relay team. Charles Dawson will return to ac tion in the 100- and 220-yard dashes if his legs are up to it. Nursing injuries for five weeks, Dawson was impressive last week at Drake, running a 21.2 opening 220 in the sprint medley relay. He’ll be facing a class field, including TCU’s Bill Collins (9.2w, 20.9w) Zoe Simpson (9.4w) of Rice and Longhorns’ Overton Spence (9.4w, 20.9w), and Robinson (9.4w, 21.3w) and Marvin Nash (9.4w). Texas’ Wyatt Tompkins heads the high jumpers with a 7-0 effort accom plished three weeks ago at the Texas Relays but can expect plenty of com petition from Aggies’ Phil McGuire (6-10) and Don Riggs (6-8), Rice’s Glenn Ray (6-8) and fellow Longhorn Silverio Bosch (6-7). In the pole vault, Texas’ David Shepherd looks to be the favorite with a best of 16-8, easily outdistancing A&M’s Brad Blair (15-6) and Mike McElveen (15-6) of Rice. Other top vaulters include Aggies David Peterek (15-3) and Tom Nance (14-0), Texas’ Hackney (15-0) and Rice’s Chris Pecheux (14-6) and Winton Buckley (14-0). Seven of the top ten shot putters and eight of the top ten discus men in the conference will be competing in the meet. Texas looks to have the edge with such stellar weight men as Dana LeDuc (64-8%, 188-7), Bishop Dolegiewicz (63-6%, 185-0), Jim McGoldrick (54-2, 191-9) and Don Ausmus (53-9%). They will receive plenty of competition from Rice’s Ken Stadel (59-7%, 190-5), and Buddy Briscoe (50-9, 175-2) and Dean Daugherty (162-4), Aggies Craig Carter (54-0) and Tim Brown (154-5) and Mark Scheele (157-7) of TCU. Defending SWC champ Don Sturgal of Texas is favored to take the 440-yard dash, owning this year’s best time in the conference with a 46.7. Other top times entered include Rice’s Herb Kinney (47.3) and Sammy Waugh (47.9) and Longhorn teammate Glenn Solid grid squad expected for 1974 football season The same producer and the same proud, warm feeling that made “Sounder” last year’s best-loved film -^ctadnitz / Mattel Productions presents where the lilies bloom a Robert B.

UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER STARTS FRIDAY Nightly At—7:15 - 9:00 SAT./SUN.—Feat. At: 2:15 - 4:05 - 5:55 - 7:45 - 9:35 With 45 returning lettermen, including 10 offensive and 11 defensive starters, Texas A&M looks to field a solid football team for the 1974 season. “We had a good spring practice,” Coach Emory Bellard said. “I was disappointed with our first offense in the spring game but it was impressive during the spring. We have our players situated in the right positions and they got a lot of work in the spring. We should have a better football team and we have a chance to become an excep tional team.” There are 20 returning offensive lettermen, 23 defensive lettermen and two lettermen kickers. Fullback Bucky Sams is the only fixst-teamer who was not a starter last year but he saw a great deal of action. The offensive line has Richard Osborne, 6-5, 230, at tight end; Glenn Bujnoch, 6-5, 237, left tackle; Bruce Welch, 6-4, 257, left guard; Ricky Seeker, 6-3, 241, center; Billy Lemons, 6-5, 270, right guard; Dennis Smelser, 6-4, 260, right tackle; Carl Roaches, 5- 8, 165, split end. Not counting Roaches, that unit averages 6-4 and 249. David Walker, who’ll be a sopho more, is a proven quarterback and he has four outstanding junior running backs in Skip Walker, Bubba Bean, Sams and Ronnie Hubby. The defensive front four has Don Long, 6-3, 241, left end; Ted Lamp, 6- 2, 242, left tackle; Warren Trahan, 6-4, 261, right tackle; Paul Hulin, 6-1, 215, right end. Right behind them are Blake Schwarz, 6-2, 219, left end; Edgar Fields, 6-3, 238, left tackle; Jimmy Dean, 6-5, 252, right tackle; Tank Marshall, 6-5, 237, right end. Those eight average 6-3 and 238. There’s a wealth of talent among the linebackers with All-America Ed Sim on ini leading the way. Ken Stratton, Garth Ten Napel, Lester Hayes, John McCrumbly, Carl Warnke, Grady Wilkerson and Jesse Hunnicutt give the Aggies solid linebacking. The Aggie secondary led the SWC in pass defense a year ago and should be even better in ’74. The cornerbacks are Pat Thomas and Tim Gray and the safties are James Daniels and Jackie Williams. The second unit has William Thompson and Charlie Arndt at the corners and Larry Wright and Reggie Williams at the safeties. Seeker, at center, will be the only senior on the starting offensive unit. The defense, however, has seven sen iors and four juniors. The only sopho mores on either starting unit are QB Walker and right guard Lemons. Placekicker Randy Haddox and punter Mark Stanley, both returning lettermen, should provide the Aggies with a solid kicking game. David Shipman, Carl Monger and Mike Jay were running behind David Walker for the quarterback job at the end of spring training. Shipman will be a sophomore. Monger a freshman and Jay a junior next fall. Monger was a midterm enrollee, so he’ll have a spring practice behind him as he goes into his freshman season. A&M’s incoming freshmen will join the varsity squad in the fall. The Aggies will not field a “B” or junior varsity team. Goss (47.8). Aggies Doug Brodhead and Harold Davis will also be conten ders as Brodhead turned in a 46.7 anchor leg at Kansas and Davis ran sub-48.0 opening leg in the mile relay for the past three weeks. Texas’ John Berry has the best long jump in the SWC this year with a leap of 25-1%. Aggie Tom Owen, making a comeback from a mid-season hamstring injury, has a 24-5% mark while Texas’ Robinson (23-9) and George Dennis (23-0) and Charles Fails (22-11%) of TCU round out the competition. The A&M mile relay team of Brodhead, Davis, Grant and McPhail turned in fine performances in Kansas and Drake with a best time of 3:11.6. The Aggies will find the going tough in Austin as all three other schools also possess stellar mile relay teams with Texas’ 3:06.9 tops followed by Rice’s 3:10.5 and TCU’s 3:12.9. A&M will field a 440-yard relay team for the first time in three weeks ^aTUirB'JDPaALL 0&MVENTOBN of w NEEDS YOU!
