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

KANSAS CITY (AP) — The Na

the money crush casting an ominous
shadow on many collegiate sports

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.

Several university presidents, in

Michigan and William E. Davis of
Idaho State will also attend.
Besides Royal, other coaches on

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. ”

by Ray Wottrich
The IM office encourages everyone to
come and see the All-University track
meet tonight at 7:30. All of the races
promise to be close and exciting since all
of the qualifiers’ times are tightly
grouped. In fact, the times are less than
a second apart in most of the dashes.
Most of the tracksters competing in the
semi-finals last week showed excellent
speed and remarkable endurance. The
qualifiers will be competing for the
championship tonight on Kyle Field.
Those who will be competing in the

dit. They have defeated many fine run
ners on their way to the final. In the 120
