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

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. Next weekend AMI
will be in Dallas competing against
TCU and SMU

tis Isiah is improving with every
meet and should contest Baker in
the 120- and 440- yard hurdles. 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.

440-yard relay last week after
Dierschke pulled up lame.
Houston is strong in the hurdles,
and has distance runner Brickman,
but in the other events, will be hard
put to compete with A&M and Rice.

baseball games, Thomas says it will
be hard to locate officials for the
