Tracksters visit Baylor for dual meet
Aggies, Bears test each other in season-ending clash
By TED BORISKIE
Assistant Sports Editor
In the last meet before conference
for the A&M track squad, a better
opponent couldn’t be picked than
the Baylor Bears.
As they visit Waco Saturday, the
Aggies will find in the Baylor track
sters the only squad considered cap
able of giving powerful Texas a run
for their money in the Southwest
Conference meet May 18.
The meet should produce several
classic battles, notably in the high
jump, long jump, 120-yard high
hurdles and the 440-yard dash.
Defending SWC champ Scottie
Jones provides A&M with a favorite
in the 120-yard high hurdles, having
run a 13.6 twice this year. His main
competition will come from Baylor’s
Alcy Jackson (13.7w) and Jimmy
Gailey (14. Iw) and freshman team
mate Shifton Baker (14.0).
Baylor’s Ricky Thompson, second
in the SWC meet last year, will be
the slight favorite in the long jump
with a best of 24-8y2 to his credit.
A&M’s Tom Owen is just a shade
behind him with a 24-514 best while
teammates Mike Shivers (23-1014)
and David Piland (23-614) round out
the field.
Freshman Kevin Delorey cleared
7-0 for Baylor at the Texas Relays but
has had trouble jumping with consis
tency lately. Aggies Phil McGuire
(6-10) and Don Riggs (6-8) and
Baylor’s Gary Kafer (6-914) and Pi-
land (6-8) will fill in the void should
Delorey falter.
A&M’s Doug Brodhead ran the
best quarter of his career last week in
Austin, turning in a 47.0 that most
unofficial clocks showed to be much
faster. Top runners for Baylor will be
Tim Son (47.4), James Jordan (47.5)
and Michael Carter (47.8). Aggie
Harold Davis has not had an official
clocking for the quarter but has
broken 48.0 several times this year
leading off the mile relay team.
The 880-yard run will be a real
dogfight as both teams feature some
of the top halfmilers in the confer
ence. Baylor should have the edge
according to times, featuring Mike
Lawless (1:50.6), Sonny Rollo
(1:51.2) and Walker Lea (1:53.5) but
A&M’s Adolph Tingan (1:52.3), Pat
Bradley (1:52.4) and Horace Grant
(1:53.8) have been rapidly improving
lately and it could be anybody’s race.
Baylor’s Jimmy Gailey is one of the
best 440-yard hurdlers in the nation,
posting a 50.5 best and will be heav
ily favored to take his specialty. The
battle for second place should be
hotly contested with A&M’s Baker
(53.0), Craig McPhail (52.9) and
Richard McGilvray (54.2) running
against Paul Stevens (52.2), Carlos
Cribbs (52.5) and Jerome Cribbs
(53.5) of Baylor.
Charles Dawson of A&M will be
favored in the 100 as he is beginning
to get back into top sprinting form
coming off'an injury. He is also one of
the top contenders in the 220-yard
dash, posting a best time of 21.4
against Son’s 21.0 and Steve Lang’s
21.2 for the Bears.
Baylor has one of the top mile
relay teams in the nation with a
3:06.6 clocking and will be heavily
favored against A&M’s foursome of
Brodhead, Grant, Davis and Tingan.
A&M has received a best time of
3:11.4 in this event although it will
be the first time this particular group
runs together.
A&M’s Bill Newton (230-8) should

Editor’s note—This is the last of a
four-part series on the history of
sports at A&M.
By JERRY JOHNSON
Golf won another conference title
to open the final period of Aggie
sports from 1961 to the present. This
was the second of what would be
come four consecutive titles in
Coach Henry Ransom’s first four
years at Aggieland.
Baseball also began it’s string of
All-American infielders in 1962. In
the next four years. Coach Tom
Chandler had four of his stars chosen
to the baseball elite list. Third base-
man Bill Hancock led the barrage.
He was followed by first baseman
Frank Stark in 1964, another third
baseman Mike McClure in 1965 and
second baseman Lance Cobb in
1966.
Continuing in the tradition set by
Ransom and Chandler, new basket
ball coach Shelby Metcalf won the
conference championship in his first
year at A&M in 1964. That team lost
to Texas Western (UTEP) in the first
round of the NCAA playoffs.
One year earlier (1963), a young
man from the Panhandle of Texas
had enrolled in A&M on a track scho
larship. Before he left, he became
one of the best known Aggies in the
world. Randy Matson was selected to
the track All-American team every
year from 1964 to 1967.
In Tokyo, Matson placed second
in the shot put in the 1964 Olympics.
Four years later, he took the gold
medal home from Mexico City in the
next Olympics.
He held the world outdoor record
until Al Fuerbach broke it last year.
He was awarded the Sullivan Trophy
in 1967. This award is presented an
nually to the outstanding amatuer
athlete.
Coach Gene Stallings had re
turned to his alma mater in 1965 and
in two years had fashioned a come-
from-behind winner. The Aggiesiost
their first four games of the season
but whipped the conference state
clean to give them the championship
and put them in the Cotton Bowl.
There, the student met the
teacher. Stallings had played and
coached under Bear Bryant at A&M
and Alabama. The Aggies came from
behind in that game too and walked
out of Dallas with the trophy and a
20-16 win.
Coach Metcalf s basketball team of
1969 captured its second win under
his leadership. They played in the
regional tournament that year but
lost to Drake and Colorado.
With speed of abundance in 1970,
the Aggie track team ran to greater
heights. A year earlier at the NCAA
meet, quarter miler Curtis Mills had
set a world record in the 440 yard
dash. Before the 1970 season was
over, Mills became part of two more
world record relay teams. At the
Drake Relays, he ran the anchor leg
of the outdoor 880 yard relay. His
final sprint at the Astrodome secured
the indoor mile relay lor the Aggies.
trophies won at each meet they ran
in 1970.
A&M’s only three-way All-
American was also on the campus in
1970. Dave Elmendorf was chosen to
the football list at safety, to the
baseball list in the outfield and to the
All-American Academic team for his
achievements in the classroom.
