By fish McGRATH In the strictest of journalistic sense, I have made one of the largest errors an objective scribe can make. But I’m glad I made it. I’ve taken to heart the Texas Aggie Track team which means my further reporting on the team may or may not be what is termed a con flict of interest. However, Coaches, Charles Thomas and Ted Nelson and their two dozen or so athletes have pro vided some moments that will long be remembered by this pencil- pusher. When I covered high school sports, track was just an activity to fill up space on the page after spring football, basketball and baseball copy had run out. Since coming to Aggieland, I’ve had to change my frame of thinking. The trackster is every bit as much an athlete as those who toss pigskins or horsehide. Scantily clad, the spike-shoed runners match their strength and speed in contests where victory is measured on a stopwatch. The Aggies have long been noted for their track squads and this year’s group is not without its outstanding performers and performances. Perhaps it is fitting that the man who has been most valuable to the team should also be the team cap tain. Of course I’m referring to listen to the quality sound of CC1K1W®®® ^ WITH SPECIALLY SELECTED SPEAKERS, TURNTABLES & TAPE DECKS SOUND CENTER Doug Brodhead, the stellar senior quarter miler from Lafayette. The dark headed cajun never quits in a race. Never. Just as pow erful as his muscular thighs is his drive to win. It’s sheer pleasure to watch him gallop those 440 yards. Though he sometimes may be out matched he will never be outclas sed. Then there’s this sophomore hurdler who just happens to be lead ing the Southwest Conference in the 120 highs. His friends call him Shiftless, an alias for his real moniker, Shifton Baker. Don’t let Baker’s easy smile fool you. He’s no laughing matter in the hurdles. Ask Baylor’s Alcy Jackson whom Baker beat three times last Saturday. Speaking of hurdlers, the kinghas not yet relinquished his crown. Scottie Jones has been hampered with a bum leg for most of the spring. But something tells me the SWC’s two-time champ will be back. Baker and Jones, one-two in the highs come conference time. There is another hurdler I’d like to mention. Mike Williams, you’re an allright dude. Hang in there. Charles Dawson has been the vic tim of many questionable calls and an equally questionable leg. But he stays with it. The Aggie dashman will be gone after this year. He’ll be missed. I hate to make a bad pun, but Tm telling the truth when I say each one of the Aggie distance men would go a long way for a friend. Thanks Horace, Adolph, Jacob, Bruce and Manfred. I’ve just got to say a few words about my fellow classmate, Chuck Butler. Chuck and I share the same class where we both ridicule the prof and I usually doze off. Chuck’s a yankee but don’t hold that against him, he couldn’t help it. Mr. Butler will be taking Brodhead’s place after this year. I believe he’ll fit the shoes well. I could mention the whole team — but I have to move on. All of them are a bunch of great guys and each one of them has the respect of this fledgling sportswriter. I guess the guy I owe the most to for helping me this year (besides my editor) would have to be Coach Thomas. He’s taken time to explain things I didn’t understand, of which there were many. He took me along on nearly every out of town trip and treats each of my bi-weekly visits warmly. He also hasn’t hurt my ego NCAA plans emergency meeting on economics KANSAS CITY (AP) — The Na tional Collegiate Athletic Associa tion launches an emergency meet ing on economics Thursday, with the money crush casting an ominous shadow on many collegiate sports programs. A blue-ribbon panel of invited de legates, including Darrell Royal, University of Texas football coach, and Wayne Duke, commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, will be on H&PE Department to continue aerobics 3806A OLD COLLEGE ROAD 846-3517 MON -SAT. lO^OO till 5 30 J An adult aerobics program will continue this summer at Texas A&M University under Health and Physical Education Department guidance. Dr. George Jessup said two fit ness programs will run from May 5 to Aug. 29. Each is limited to 60 participants. A noon exercise program for women will meet Mondays through Fridays from 12 noon to 1 p.m., in the aerobics room. Formal exercise and opportunity for jogging, statio nary cycling and weight training are provided. An evening program will take men and women. It will meet Mon day through Thursday, 5 to 6 p.m. Because of anticipated increased enrollment, formal exercise will be conducted in the park across from G. Rollie White Coliseum. New members are required to obtain a health evaluation from their own physician. Jessup also recom mends that men over age 35 and women over 40 should get an exer cise stress electrocardiogram from their physician. A $20 registration fee is required. It covers facilities, leadership and group fitness screening. Offered op tionally are a $20 exercise stress test, locker and laundry service at $10 and noon program baby sitting, $10. Early registration is suggested because of limited facilities and group size. Fees should be paid to the A&M Aerobics Club through Jessup. hand for the two days of what prom ise to be cold, hard dealings in meet- ings designed to probe vital economic problems. Several university presidents, in cluding Robben W. Fleming of Michigan and William E. Davis of Idaho State will also attend. Besides Royal, other coaches on hand include Bill Foster, basketball coach at Duke, William Nelson, wrestling coach at Arizona, and G. G. Dales, track coach at Western Michigan. Heading the impressive roster of athletic directors will be Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch, former pro football star now director of athletics at the University of Wisconsin. It was Hirsch who on Tuesday set the tone for this conference, saying that some programs faced the very real possibility of bankruptcy unless financial relief is found. Colleges have been cutting athle tic costs in various ways for some time. “I think we’ve done about all we can do at this point,” said Hirsch, who is hoping for some na tional recommendations from this conference. “We re down to a point where if we cut any further, we’U affect the quality of the program. ” any with the praise he has given® for my stories. My appreciation also goes It Coach Nelson who was alwaysreac to help me in some way or the oik I’d like to thank his wife, too. Wit I did a feature on her spouse, sin went collecting copies as keepsak items. Did my heart good to kt that.
