The competition for the Aggie thinclads in the Dallas Invitational features last year’s outdoor national champion (Southern Cal) and run ner up team (Kansas State), the na tional indoor champs (UTEP), last season’s Southwest Conference winners (Texas), plus always tough Baylor and Oklahoma State. The competition will certainly be stiff but the Aggies have improved steadily, meet by meet. Last week the tracksters improved their marks in eight events and set one school record in pole- vaulter Brad Blair’s 16-7 effort. The competition may prove to be a blessing in disguise however, since better efforts are usually brought in meets with tougher competition. Head Track Coach Charles Thomas says, “We re feeling much better about it now, ” concerning his team’s improvement in spite of sev eral nagging injuries. But, he adds “We re not ready for this kind of competition. If we score a point we ll be lucky. It’ll be hard to score a point anywhere.” Proving Thomas’ point is the itin- ery of the squads the Aggie will face. USC has two polevaulters over the 17 foot mark and three long jumpers with leaps over 26 feet, two of them over 27. Southern Cal has the nation’s best time in the mile relay (3.06.0) and has run a 39.2 spring relay. UTEP, with only one Texan amongst the 17 foreigners on the team, also has a vaulter over 17 feet and a long jumper over 26. In addi tion, they have two 9.1 sprinters and some of the best distance men in the country. Texas almost went wild last week as their discus man, Jim McGol- drick, had a toss of over 200 feet. Overton Spence, the Longhorns top quarter miler, ran a 9.3 in the 100-yard dash and collected a 47.0 in the 440-yard dash. The UT sprint ★★★ relay quartet had a 40.7 time and David Shepard stayed close to Blair with a vault of 16.6. Baylor narrowly defeated A&M in the College Station Relays and will have their contingent ready once again. The Bears have a top quarter miler in Tim Son and have one of the better times in the 440 relay in the SWC. Baylor boasts the conference’s best clocking in the mile relay with a 3.09.7. They also have the SWC’s leading high jumper in Kevin Delorey and lead ing long jumper, Ricky Thompson. Alcy Jackson remains a top conten der in the hurdles events. The Aggies are in the midst of an injury epidemic which has cut down still another member of the team. David Peterek sprained an ankle while running up the stands in prac tice. Adolph Tingan also has an in jured ankle as does Horace Grant, but both are likely to see action this weekend. Gerald D’Ambrosio will return from a lengthy stay on the sidelines to run a possible leg in the mile relay. Sam Dierschke is a pos sible for the Texas Relays but hur dler Scottie Jones “has not im proved a bit. He’s just hanging in there,” said Thomas. There are four events the Aggies definitely will not score points in — simply because they have no entries in them. The shot put, discus, triple jump and six-mile run will contain no Aggie participants. Thomas is hopeful that Blair might place in the meet. He is also looking for hurdler Shifton Baker to do well in both hurdles events. Baker set a personal best time and took the SWC lead with a 13.8 clock ing in the 120-yard hurdles last week. Bill Newton could possibly pick up points in the javelin. Thomas also sees his sprinters Doug Brodhead, Chuck Butler and Charles Dawson as possible scorers for the Maroon and White. Following this meet is the Texas Relays in Austin and then the Aggie thinclads get a week off. “Hopefully this will give us time to get things ready,” Thomas said. “I believe in ★★★ about three weeks we’ll be ready.”' TRACK CINDERS The Aggies are again without the services of shot putter Frank West due to spring football obligations. Replacing him will be junior Joe West who also throws the discus. ★★★ Shifton Baker is currently making a pamphlet on his specialty — hurdling. The paper concerns the rights and wrongs of hurdling tech niques. Baker’s quest for pictures has carried him into the Battalion office where nearly every hurdling photo has suddenly disappeared. ★★★ David Peterek celebrates his twenty-second birthday Monday and a good vault this weekend would be an early present. How ever, his slightly sprained ankle may prevent it. Peterek, a senior, won the SWC his sophomore year. m(m pm 1 JOE NATOV/TC IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM^^ POMffl A&M CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION'AFRIIS Political ad paid for by Joe NsM Aggie golf team in tournament TEXAS A&M’S BEST TRACK TIMES (through March 22, 1975) f “Eddie Dominguez ’66 Joe Arciniega ’74 - Greg Price m- If you want the real Ithlng, not frozen or canned ...

Old record 16-6 by Harold McMahan (Kansas Relays 1971). By NICK VOINUS Staff Sports Writer The Texas Aggie golf team hopes to improve its chances for winning the Southwest Conference champ ionship, this weekend at the Morris Williams Invitational Tournament, in Austin. If the Aggies make a good show ing it wouldn’t hurt their chances for a national ranking, also. The team placed fourth at the re cent LSU Invitational in Baton Rouge, with an off second round costing them third place. The Aggies currently are not ranked by Golf World Magazine (which makes the national selec tions), but Coach Bob Ellis is hope ful his team will make it by season’s end. He stressed this as the team’s main goal. “It depends on how we perform in tournaments and in the confer ence, Ellis said. “We have to be realistic; Houston, Texas and SMU have real good teams also.” The gol fers would have to win the SWC crown to move on to the nationals. Wednesday’s qualifying round was cut short after 9 holes, due to rain, at the River Plantation Golf Course in Conroe. Rain has ham pered preparation of the Williams Invitational and could be the cause for the team’s rather high scores, this week. Ellis looks for the scores to come down some at the Tourna ment. The two top performers for Ellis this year have been sophomores Monte Schauer and Steve Whiteside. Schauer has played well in both tournaments, finishing fourth at the Border Olympics and third at the LSU Invitational. Whiteside has performed well also, but has had trouble in the later rounds. Ellis has made some moves NTSU gets win in own net tourney DENTON, Tex. (AP) — North Texas State won its own Invitation Tennis Tournament Thursday. The Mean Green downed South eastern Oklahoma 8-1 and Lamar University 6-3. Northwestern State of Louisiana defeated Minnesota 5-4 and Angelo State 8-1 to finish second. North Texas compiled 48 to 45 for Northwestern State. Lamar was second with 42 and Minnesota third with 42. Other team scores included Gusatavus Adolphus 33, East Texas State 27, Angelo State 25, and Southeastern Oklahoma 12. to rectify that problem. The Aggie mentor emphasized that his players are very anxious to compete this weekend, with the only problem being trying to keep them from getting a little too anxi ous. Junior Larry Gorzycki and sophomore Craig Schnurbusch will be playing in their first tournament and are pumped up and ready to go. “They (the players) want to win,” Ellis said. “They are working very hard and by tournament time they are ready to go out and win.” The Williams Invitational will support the strongest field of teams the Aggies have competed against thus far, according to Ellis. The host team. The University of Texas, has a strong team, and are ranked among the nation’s top 15 teams. They are hard to beat on their home course also. The field should include The University of Houston (ranked third nationally behind Wake Forest, and Florida), and Oklahoma State Uni versity (ranked fourth), but their appearance is not definite. Others participating include North Texas State, Pan American, and SMU. Next weekend the Aggies con tinue on the tournament road, with a stop at Nacogdoches for the Stephen F. Austin Invitational.
