The A&M, Rice and TCU track
juads travel to Austin to face the
ughty Texas Longhorns in a quad-
igular meet tonight.
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

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

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
