THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1975 Still suffering from injuries Aggie track team travels to Dallas tri-meet Page 5 By PAUL McGRATH Staff Sports Writer Texas A&M’s track roster reads more like that of a hospital list. Four Aggie tracksters are still running on one leg as Coach Charlie Thomas’ squad travels to Dallas to contest with TCU and SMU. Hurdler Scottie Jones, sprinters Charles Dawson and Sam Dierschke remain on the sidelines this weekend. Half miler Horace Grant “is a big question mark, but may run on the mile relay,” said Assistant Track Coach Ted Nelson. Gerald D’Ambrosio is returning for the first time after several weeks’ layoff to run in the quarter. To add to A&M’s problems shot putter Frank West will miss the tri-meet. ‘‘We’re just snakebit right now. We really are,” said Nelson. After D’Ambrosio’s recovery, Nel son says, “The rest are coming along real well. But we don’t want to take a chance on them running this week. We’ve got some big meets coming up. Texas puts 8-4 pasting on Dodgers (AP) — Clyde Wright, Tommy Boggs and Steve Hargan held Los Angeles to five hits and the Texas Rangers exploded for four runs in the eighth inning to break a 4-4 tie and take an 8-4 exhibition game vic tory here Thursday. Wright, acquired from the Mil waukee Brewers, worked the first three innings for the Rangers yield ing only one hit, a two-run homer by Tom Pacioreck in the second. Boggs, a 19-year-old righthander less than a year out of high school, worked two innings and gave up a run. Hargan picked up the victory going the last four innings striking !out four and allowing two hits, one of them a solo homer by Steve Yeager. Bob Jones, who had homered in the sixth, walked to start the Ran gers’ eight-inning outburst. “Maybe it's all just happening to us now and will straighten out when it’s time to go,” he said. While A&M may be suffering in the events, the field events are look ing stronger than ever. Nelson feels that the Aggie field event men “most definitely will decide the meet.” A&M took three of four spots in the long jump, high jump and jave lin in last week’s meet and have the potential to repeat or better that performance against the Horned Frogs and Mustangs. Both of A&M’s opponents are weak in the field event department, giving the Aggies a chance to make up points they will lose due to their walking wounded. Nelson again ex pects the javelin, long jump and high jump along with the pole vault to pick a bundle of marks for the Maroon and White. Last week, pole vaulter Brad Blair topped his Southwest Conference winning height by a foot when he cleared 16 feet. TCU will be without their ace sprinter. Bill Collins, as he is headed for Detroit to compete in the National Indoor Champion ships, Collins is currently the SWC in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash with respective times of 9.3 and 20.7. The Homed Frogs will have quarter miler Sam McK inney in the 440-yard dash. McKin ney is ranked second in the confer ence for the time being with a 47.5 clocking. TCU also will have half miler Greg Bryant who finished sixth in the SWC last year. Freshman Lorenzo Ashford is right behind Collins in the 100 and 220 and along with McKinney will provide tough competition in the sprints and sprint relays. SMU is hosting the meet but will still have a long way to go to com pete effectively against A&M and TCU. The Ponies have lost their racehorse sprinters Joe and Gene Pouncey. The two brothers col lected 27 of SMU’s 54 points in last year’s conference meet. Still the Mustangs will furnish competition in the distance races with Jeff Dixon, who took fifth place in the three mile last year. Chris Ellenby is an able three miler for the Ponies. The Mustangs hope they have found replacements for the Pounceys with freshmen Farley and Gerald Burl. Both were top quarter milers in high school at Col orado. “SMU is down a little bit this year,” said Nelson, “It was a big blow losing two youngsters like that.” The meet will be held at Ownby Stadium in Dallas. The team re turns at the conclusion of the con test. Next weekend A&M will put out the welcome mat as they host the College Station Relays. TRACK CINDERS After topping his old mark in the pole vault by a foot. Brad Blair has been making attempts during the week at 16-6. On one occasion he cleared the bar, but knocked it off while on the way down. ★★★ Assistant Track Coach Ted Nel son still holds the Texas A&M re- pawl cord for the indoor 400-yard dash with a 45.4. He set the mark at a Dallas meet in 1962. ★★★ Several A&M thinclads rank in the top six spots in the SWC in their respective events. Blair and Bill Newton in the javelin with a 222-3 toss lead the league while High- jumper Lynn Bird and Scottie Jones hold second place spots with a 6-8 jump and a 13.9 dash in the 120-yard hurdles. Jumpers Phil McGuire and David iFrazier are tied for third with 6-6 leaps and Adolph Tingan stands third in the 880-yard run with a 1.52.4 clocking. Sprinter Doug Brodhead is number three in the KU, Marquette meet NCAA basketball teams begin post-season play TwoUTEP athletes subjects of inquiry EL PASO (AP) — Class addition* of one University of Texas-El Pasc athlete and the admission of another almost halfway through the spring semester are subjects of investiga tion by UTEP academic vice presi dent Kenneth Beasley. The investigation was prompted by the class addition of Hens Hog- lund Feb. 21, and the enrollment of Festes Njoroge of Kenya Feb. 28. The deadline for class changes was Jan. 31. Hoglund, a native ol Sweden, is defending indoor NCAA shotput champion. Athletic director Jim Bowden said Wednesday he didn’t believe any rules had been violated. Beasley declined to discuss the matter further. “It would be wrong for me to say anything about the review,” he said. The El Paso Times said an NCAA spokesman in Kansas City wouldn’t confirm or deny that a complaint had been filed against recruiting practices of the university’s track team. The unidentified spokesman said he wouldn’t speculate about the questions of late classroom admis sions. The El Paso Times quoted the spokesman as saying the NCAA doesn’t have any regulations con cerning additions of classes and that foreign students are eligible to compete when they enroll, pro vided they meet scholastic re quirements. -i !»<*•**»4k LISTEN TO THE QUALITY SOUND OF WITH SPECIALLY SELECTED SPEAKERS, TURNTABLES, & TAPE DECKS SOUND CENTER 3806A OLD COLLEGE ROAD 846-3517 MON.-SAT. 10=00 till 5 30 THURSDAY EVENING SPECIAL Italian Candle Light Spaghetti Dinner SERVED WITH SPICED MEAT BALLS AND SAUCE Parmesan Cheese - Tossed Green Salad Choice of Salad Dressing - Hot Garlic Bread Tea or Coffee Our meat and fish are processed in Government inspected plants.
