NORTHGATE 846-6428 By PAUL McGRATH Interim Sports Editor Texas A&M’s track squad will host two teams that they have beaten twice previously. Rice, the University of Houston and the Ags compete in a tri-meet at Kyle Field starting at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. The Aggies bested Rice in a dual meet here and defeated them at the UH Invitational. Rice regained lost ground by getting past A&M at Laredo in the Border Olympics. Houston is 0-2 against the Aggies, losing to A&M in the meet they hosted and at the Border. However, the situation is gloomier for the Aggies than it ap pears. Top hurdler Scottie Jones is “a question mark says track coach Charles Thomas. Jones strained the ligaments connecting the thigh bone to the knee joint. Sammy Dierschke is again suffering leg ail ments af ter missing most of last sea son with an injury. Thomas expects him to return to action next week. Another Aggie on the sick list is Gerald D Ambrosio, although “he is starting to come around” said Thomas. There is a silver lining though. High jumper Don Riggs will be competing in his second meet after recuperating from a leg injury. Frank West has rejoined the team after a short departure for spring football to give A&M some muscle in the shot put. The Aggie pole vaul- ters have had a good week despite cold weather with Brad Blair reach ing his Southwest Conference win ning mark of 15 feet. Shifton Baker Cincinnati named Ag playoff foe Although the Aggies have clinched at least a tie for the South west Conference title, they must beat Texas for tbe outright title (as suming Arkansas and Texas Tech win their final game) and the right to go into the NCAA playoffs. An Aggie victory would send them to Lubbock next Saturday for the Midwest Pre-Regional. They would play Cincinnati. The winner of that game goes to the Midwest Regional at Las Cruces, N. M., March 20 and 22. is looking good, says Thomas, after coming in with his best 440-yard hurdles time, a 52.9. The Owls are going to be tough to beat again as the team seems stronger since the first A&M-Rice meeting. Rice should dominate the discus and shot put events with Buddy Briscoe and Dean Daugherty. Freshmen hurdler Cur- In the 100-yard dash, Aggie Charles Dawson will be up against Zoe Simpson again. Dawson had a slight leg pull at the Border and took a 9.9 time in the race. A&M has adjusted their sprint relay team due to the absence of Dierschke. Robert Harris, Doug Brodhead, Dawson and Ray Brooks represent A&M in the quarter mile out officials, the meet will go on. This is the fourth Ag outdoor meet of the year and their second home meet.

Jeff Wells, Rice’s distance man, is the one to beat in the mile and three mile. Wells has beaten A&M’s Bruce Smith twice in the three mile, although Smith has cut his time in each of his three outdoor races. UH also has a fine three miler, Brad Brickman, who placed one spot ahead of Smith at Laredo. Mustangs in town for three The Texas Aggies are down but not out in the 1975 Southwest Con ference baseball race. They host the SMU Mustangs this weekend in an important three game series. The two teams will play a single game Friday at 3:00 and then a double header Saturday at 1:00. The Aggies are 7-2 for the season and 1-2 in SWC play. SMU is also 1-2 in conference play while only 5-3 for the season. The Aggies opened conference play last week by dropping two of three to the Baylor Bears while SMU also lost two of their first three to the Rice Owls. Both teams won double headers this week. A&M took two from St. Mary’s in San Antonio while the Mustangs won two from Dallas Uni versity. David Lockett will pitch the first game for the Ags on Friday, with James Gibson and Clint Thomas going in the double header Satur day.

Rice slipped past A&M in the 440-yard relay last week after Dierschke pulled up lame.
