With a wry grin across his face, Doug Brodhead commented, “They could call this meet the Special Olympics.” The absence of Scottie Jones, Charles Butler, Gerald D’Ambrosio and Sam Dierschke was quite noticeable as hosting A&M was de feated by the Rice Owls for the sec ond time in two weeks. The Univer sity of Houston was the third par ticipant in the tri-meet and finished a distant third behind A&M. When all results were in, Rice stood on top with 86 points, the Aggies gathered 65 and UH scrounged out 16. The four limping Aggies are vital legmen for the success of the relay events. Jones has won the South west Conference 120-yard hurdles for the past two years. Without D’Ambrosio and Dierschke, Coach Charles Thomas had to substitute freshmen Robert Harris and Ray Brooks on the 440-yard relay. With A&M in the lead going to the last 110 yards, the baton handoff bet ween Charles Dawson and Brooks was dropped, costing A&M the win in that event. Rice’s Jeff Wells and Zoe Simpson were double winners for the day. Wells won both the mile and three-mile runs while Simpson picked up first place points in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Wells posted his second best mark of the year in the three-mile with a 13:59.2. A&M was not able to give Simpson much competition in the 100 after Dawson was disqualified for jumping the gun. But there were a few highlights for A&M as they took firsts in four of the field events and in three run ning events. Brad Blair made his best vault of the year, clearing the bar at 16 feet. The height was one foot over his SWC winning mark of last year. A&M swept three of four places in the javelin, long jump and high jump. Bill Newton won the javelin with a throw of 214-9 with teammates Danny Arleth and Keith Bucy taking third and fourth. Tom Owen used his 22-lOVi leap to win the long jump while Aggies Jud Wyatt and Paul Miller finished third and fourth behind the Owls’ Curtis Isiah. A&M took the first three spots in the high jump with Lynn Bird’s 6-8 effort followed by Phil McGuire and David Frazier jumps of 6-6. SWC 440-yard dash champ of a year ago, Doug Brodhead, won that event with a 48.5 clocking. Shifton Baker crossed the stripe first in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles at 52.7. Adolph Tingan captured the 880-yard run with a time of 1.52.4. But the Rice combo of Wells and Simpson plus domination of the shot put and discus proved too much. Rice also took firsts in the 120-yard hurdles, 440-yard relay and mile relay. Thomas expects most of his walk ing wounded to be ready for next weekend’s meet in Dallas bd?ween A&M, TCU and SMU. 440-yard relay 8 1, Rice, Mike Fulgum, Sam Waugh, David Graves, Zoe Simpson, 41.2.

Hoopsters capture SWC crown (Continued from Page 1) Texas cut the lead to six at 51-45 on a Johnson jumper but they were only wasting their time and so were the Aggies. But the Metcalf troop ers had a purpose in mind. Metcalf had installed his patented four corner stall offense with 10:33 to go and the Aggie lead at six. The Ags froze the ball for nearly three minutes before Mike Floyd found Thornton open under the basket and chalked up two more for the Ags. 16. Thornton was third for the Ag gies with 13 points. Johnson led the Horns with 21 followed by Dan Krueger with 14 and Tommy Delatour with 10. Johnson led Texas rebounders with 10. A&M outrebounded the Orange 38-30, outshot them from the field hitting 31 shots to the Horns 28 and connecting on one more charity toss than the Homs had a chance at. The Ags also out-assisted Texas 11-6 and outstole the Longhorns 7-4. Texas coach Leon Black called a timeout. Pat McClellan fouled Sonny P, and Parker hit the front end of a one-and-one to again boost the lead. From there on the game speeded up but the Ags kep the lead beefy, building it again to 15 on two free throws by Floyd. The final Aggie points came on a Chuck Tone layup off a Gates Erwin feed. A&M won the SWC Champion ship 74-63 over Texas. The Ags were led by All-District Six players Sonny P and Davis each with 10 rebounds and scoring 31 points together of which Parker had But most important of all they outscored, outhustled and out played the Burnt Orange to the tune of “The Aggie War Hymn. The Horns returned to Austin a lighter shade of orange.
