‘Quality First’
BY PAUL McGRATH
Staff Sports Writer
Although having to ride in the
back seat of the LSU Invitational,
Texas A&M track coach Charles
Thomas was “real happy with the
way we ran.’’
Competing against the indoor’s
eventual winners LSU, Auburn,
Mississippi State and Baylor, the
Aggies had to be in almost “mid sea
son form” although this is only their
second meet of the year. “There is
no way we can have the whole team
ready with one meet before closing
out the (indoor) season,” said
Thomas.
“The month layoffhurt, but were
not trying to break any records.
We re just trying to bring the team
along slow. I wish we could have
placed high, but if we don’t, we
don’t. The season is too long to get
someone hurt in the first go round. ”
“The performances were good for
this time of year. With the ability
that we have, we re on schedule I’d
say. I feel like we ll have a strong
track team. We have a lot of depth.
After the next two or three meets we
should be coming along real fine.”
One A&M school record was
broken by a South African transfer
who is beginning his first semester
here. Manfred Kohrs broke the ex
isting indoor mile time with a 4.12.1
and took fifth in the event. Kohrs
said that this was the first time he
had ever run indoors. Charles Daw
son tied the 60-yard dash record
shared by Curtis and Marvin Mills
with a 6.2 clocking while also plac
ing fifth.
Kohrs believes there is more of a
team effort here at A&M while it
was more individual in South Africa.
“On the long run, it is more of an
advantage to me coming here than
staying at home. The competition is
much better than at home,” said
Kohrs.
Another newly acquired South
African, Bruce Smith, said that in
door running is “pretty rough” and
there is no comparison between it
and outdoor. “The turns are shorter
and you lose pace judgment. You
seem to be going slower than you
really are.” Smith said he was 18
seconds off his best time.
The only first place finisher for
the Aggies was Frank West with a
53’ 1%” toss in the shot put. Adolph
Tingan took a third in the 600-yard
run with a time of 1:12.6 while
Horace Grant finished fifth in the
same event. The mile relay team of
Grant, Tingan, Doug Broadhead
and Chuck Butler raced to a third
place finish timed at 3:19.4.
Receiving fourth place finishes
for A&M were David Peterek with a
14 6” leap in the pole vault, Ron
McGonigle’s 1:57.9 in the 880-yard
run, J. B. Yemme with a 2:16.7 in
the 1000-yard run and Scottie Jones’
7.3 time in the 60-yard high hur
dles.
Besides the fifth place finishes of
Kohrs, Dawson and Grant were
Tom Owen in the long jump with a
jump of 21’ lO 1 /^”, Jim Brannan in
the 880, Shifton Baker in the
60-yard hurdles and Owen again in
the triple jump.
Several members of A&M’s team
were out with injuries of one sort or
the other. Paul Miller and Don
Riggs missed the meet due to
wounds received from soccer and
basketball games.
The Southwest Conference In-'
door Meet is coming up this Friday
in the Fort Worth Convention
Center. Thomas looks for Texas to
be the favorite with Baylor having
an outside chance to upset the Lon
ghorns. A&M will be fighting for a
third place spot behind the two.
Pole vaulter Brad Blair, last year’s
SWC champ, will be ready for the
meet and has “been looking real
good” says Thomas. He said that the
other field events should also be
strong for the Ags. However,
Thomas feels that A&M will be at a
disadvantage since the meet is
“geared for distance and middle dis
tance runners and this is not our
style.”
Ag matmen
place third
at tourney
Despite injuries and illness,
Texas A&M’s Wrestling team grap
pled its way to a third place finish in
the Bobcat Invitational Tournament
Saturday.
Frank Cox, state champion in the
118 lb. class, and Jim Giunta,
champ in the 134 lb. division, were
sidelined with the flu and a rib in
jury respectively.
A&M had five men tied for first
place in their weight classes going
into the last session of matches.
However, none of the quintet could
get a victory and Richland Com
munity College and Texas Tech pul
led ahead of the Ags to finish first
and second.
Placing second for the Aggie
wrestlers were Mike Rivera, Mark
Monhollon, Jud Dudley, Jerry
Rasmussen and John Manning.
Richard Goswick and Dun Hirst
came off the mats with fourth place
results.
This Saturday, A&M will travel to
Austin to face the teams from the
University of Texas, North Texas
State and Southwest Texas.
Houston Oilers get
2 first round picks
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston
Oilers, who had only one selection
in the first five rounds of last year’s
National Football League draft,
enter Tuesday’s 1975 draft armed
with two first round choices and one
second round pick.
Oiler executive assistant Tom
Williams, who heads up scouring,
said his shopping list included a top
defensive lineman, defensive back,
offensive lineman and a big running
back.
The Oilers, who rebounded from
a pair of 1-13 seasons with a 7-7 re
cord last year, will pick sixth and
15th in the first round.
The Oilers finished tied for 11th
with five other teams and wound up
picking 15th after a coin toss. The
Oilers will pick sixth in the opening
round as a result of a trade that sent
John Matuszak to the Chiefs in ex
change for Curly Culp and Kansas
City’s first round choice.

INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS

It’s another jump ball between Cindy Settle and
Margaret McLean. The final score for this game
was Settle’s Sneakers, 66, McLean’s Al, 15.
Today — throw a goal;
pitch a shoe entry too
Now’s the time to prove hidden abilities to shoot baskets.
Come to the main floor of the coliseum at 5 tonight with an
A&M ID to enter the free throw contest. Each participant has
20 shoots at the hoop and the person making the highest
number of baskets wins the individual honors. Teams of three
are also invited to try their hand at sinking.
Teams must shoot consecutively.
The competition is open to all students, staff and faculty, who
have ID s. Staff and faculty may obtain these cards by contact
ing their department head.
Horseshoe entries close tonight at 5. Play begins February 3.
Competition will be single elimination with a round robin
championship tournament.
Basketball season brings court comedy
Basketball is off to a good start
with 186 teams participating.
There is plenty of competition of
fered in all divisions from fish to
co-rec. The most entertaining of all
divisions though is co-rec. Using
most unusual rules, the games pro
ceed with tough competition inside
the key and out.
Watching the Sneakers and their
opponents, Al, the antecdotes of the
players could not be overlooked.
George Yezak, sneaker, was har-
rassing a ref bringing about a one
point award to the Al fighter’s twice.
Not to be outdone in the fouling
category, such memorables as
Melandy Taylor, sneaker; Mike
Flowers, Jim Bell and Margaret
McLean, Al, picked up three fouls
each.
More important was the scoring.
Here the women play a very impor
tant role.
Men cannot enter the key. A
hand or even a toe in this area will
award the ball, (and if it’s a defen
sive player, two points), to the op
posing team.
Any team which can force their
opponents into the key has it made.
In the meantime, the women are
fighting it out inside the key.
Under the basket looks more like
a group of hungry lions climbing up
the walls to get to the Christians,
than rebounding. Women are espe
cially aggressive in this area.
Being elbowed in the chest just
isn’t that fun, but the good women
players suffer silently while sinking
their shots. Cindy Settler, sneaker,
made 34 points. Her teammate,
Pam Dotson, took 24 from her de
fenders.
This may sound astounding, but
.when a player can sit in the key all
day and if they do make a basket are
awarded four points, it’s not hard to
understand the high pointage.
Most down court action is made
by the men. Here the superior run
ning and dribbling that is practiced
through high school pays off. Espe
cially so if the two girls in the key
know what they’re doing. The third
girl and third guy stay behind, for
bidden to “travel” across the mid
court line. This is very reminiscent
of the “old” women’s rules. It’s
amazing how absurd this all be
comes.
Reffing a game like this would
drive the strict SWC refs bananas. If
48 fouls is the SWC average, surely
the sum would soar to 100 in these
games.
There’s rumors that one team has
a 6’2” girl who plays center. No
doubt this group will make it into
the finals, especially after their first
game score of 113 to 34. Unreal?
Handball and flicker start
Handball began play Monday at 5
p.m. in DeWare Field House. U.S.
Handball Association rules are
being used. Matches consist of the
best two-out-of-three games to 21
points. It is single elimination play.
Spectators are welcome to come
watch.
Handball is a game of fast moves i
and faster strategy. The idea is to'
make your opponent miss his shots |
through “killing” or preventing the
ball to bounce back.
