Ags make respectable showing at Drake
By PAUL McGRATH
Managing Editor
DES MOINES, Iowa — Per
forming before a capacity Drake Re
lays crowd of 18,000 and competing
against some of the top teams in the
nation, the Texas A&M cinder men
proved their trip to Des Moines was
worthwhile.
Shilton Baker, the Aggies’
sophomore hurdler, captured third
in the 120-yard highs. He was the
only A&M participant to have his
efforts rewarded as he received a
bronze plaque for his 14.1 time. He
finished behind LSU’s Allan Misher
(13.7) and Larry Shipp (13.8).

H . NATIONAl. BOARD OF REVIEW
FIUK/GENJU.
Adolph Tingan, Doug Brodhead,
Manfred Kohrs and Bruce Smith set
a school record with a 9.59.9 clock
ing in the two and one-half mile
event. Tingan, proving he is on the
way back from an ankle injury,
gathered a 1.53.7 first leg time in
the 880 yard portion of the race.
He was in third place when he
handed the baton to quartermiler
Brodhead. The Aggie captain put
the foursome in second place with a
47.9 dash around the oval. Kohrs
ran the 1320-yard third leg and al
ternately moved from the second
spot to the lead in his three laps. He
posted a fine time of 3.04.5 and
A&M had the lead position with
Bruce Smith anchoring in the mile.
Smith was unable to maintain the
spot as A&M fell to eighth. He
posted a 4.13.0 on the clock as the
quartet shattered the previous
school barrier.
“They all ran good,” said Head
Track Coach Charles Thomas about
the relay squad.
A&M qualified for finals competi
tion in two other relay races — the
440 and the 880 — but had to
scratch out of one and was disqual
ified in the other. They also had to
scratch the mile baton excursion be
cause of an injury to Chuck Butler.
The 880 relaymen posted a third
place 1.23.6 but were disqualified
when Butler was caught stepping on
his lane line with more than three
steps. Ray Brooks and Sam
Dierschke had 19.8 marks on their
220 legs.
The sprint relay was eliminated
because Brodhead’s knees were
bothering him. The Aggies clocked
a 41.6 in the prelims as five South
west Conference schools (Baylor,
TCU, UH, Rice and A&M) qualified
for the finals in that event.
Baker also qualified for finals
competition in the 440-yard inter
mediate hurdles with a 53.1 in the
preliminaries. He finished seventh
in the finals with a 52.4, his second
best time ever in the intermediates.
His time could have possibly been
better he said, but fatigue from the
earlier races overtook him and he
was unable to make his kick.
Long jumper Tom Owens had his
best jump of the year with a 23-11
leap although he was unable to qual
ify for the finals.
The Relays featured some of the
top track athletes on the globe as
world record holders Ivory Crock
ett, Jim Bolding, Dave Roberts,
Dwight Stones, Al Fuerbach and
Francie Larrieu competed for the
enthusiastic crowd.
It was a bad weekend for most of
them however. Fuerbach, trying for
MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER
BUILDING STUDIES QUESTIONNAIRE
The Building Studies Committee of the Memorial Student Center Council and
Directorate has been delegated the responsibility of determining policies that will
lead to more efficient use of the space in the MSC. Although we are unable at this
point to determine what areas we have jurisdiction over, the committee is in a
position to recommend usage of the facilities. To assist us in our recommenda
tions, we would appreciate your views on how to use the MSC. Please fill out the
questions below and return to the secretaries at the Student Programs Office on
the second floor of the MSC.

3. Do you ever come to the MSC other than to check your mail? If so,
what for?
4. How would you use the space along the corridors on the first and
second floor?
5. What would you like to see added to the recreational area in the
basement (near the bowling alley)?
6. Have you ever used the Beverley Braley Travel Service? If so,
often? What were the results?

a mark over 70, managed only a 66-0
shot put. Roberts could not clear 17
feet in the pole vault, a height which
is a foot and a half under his world
mark. Stones made his best high
jump ever at Drake with a mere hop
for him of 7-2.
Bolding glided to a 49.9 win in the
special 440 intermediates and Lar
rieu made the mile look easy in her
4.29.9 jaunt.
Crockett was disqualified in the
special 100-yard dash. However his
departure from the blocks drew a
chorus of boos from the crowd. The
race was unable to continue as the
vociferous fans jeered and shouted
“We want Crockett” each time the
other dashers stepped into their
lanes. Finally, Crockett quieted the
crowd by asking them to let the race
continue.
Several Aggies were unable to go
to Drake but competed in local pick
up meets anyway. Charles Dawson,
A&M’s 100-yard specialist, tied his
best dash time of the year with a 9.5
in Houston. He defeated Olympic
Silver medalist Robert Taylor in the
process. Dawson’s time was actually
a 9.45 which was rounded up to the
next tenth. Horace Grant ran the
quarter and 220-yard dash, posting
times of 49.0 and'22.3 respectively.
Thomas hopes to have all of his
people ready for this Thursday’s
meet in Austin. The twi-night con
test matches the Aggies, Texas, Rice
and TCU.

Hunter, Aaron thrill
Shea Stadium fans
NEW YORK (AP) — They came
from the suburbs. They came,from
the inner city. They came with
gloves, bag lunches and dreams of
seeing baseball’s most famous
pitcher and baseball’s most famous
hitter spin some new folklore.
They weren’t disappointed.
Thousands of kids, taking advan
tage of Cap Day, streamed into Shea
Stadium for Sunday’s doubleheader
between the Milwaukee Brewers
and the New York Yankees.
At least, those were the two
teams playing. But everyone knows
the doubleheader was really Catfish
Hunter and Hank Aaron. They were
the main attractions, each had top
billing and each contributed to a big
afternoon of baseball.
Hunter held Milwaukee hitless
for 72-3 innings and finished with a
three-hit 10-1 victory over the Bre
wers in the second game for his first
triumph in four decisions with the
Yankees.
In the first game, Aaron hogged
the limelight, knocking in two runs
to tie Babe Ruth’s career RBI record
and lead the Brewers past the Yank
ees 7-0 behind Pete Broberg’s
three-hitter.
Hunter put a collar on Aaron in
the nightcap, sending baseball’s
home run king back to the bench
empty handed in four trips to the
plate.
“He was all I expected him to be,’’
said the 41-year-old Aaron. “He was
a $3 million pitcher.”
Indeed, Hunter proved why
baseball went absolutely crazy last
December when the American
League’s Cy Young Award winner
became a free agent and was availa
ble to the highest bidder. Hunter
said the victory would remove a
heavy load from his shoulders.

FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) —
George Hardie defeated Randy
Crawford 7-5, 6-4 in the top singles
match of the day here Thursday and
Southern Methodist University
went on to post an 8-1 victory over
Texas Christian to secure the
Southwest Conference Tennis
championship.
The victory gave the Mustangs a
51-12 record for the year, just one
match over the Texas Longhorns
who finished the season at 50-13.
“We expected to do it and we
did, SMU Coach John Gardner
said. “I would have preferred to
play Texas for the final where both
teams could have had equal pres
sure, but we are happy to win.”
Hardie and John Muller com
bined to win the doubles match over
Crawford and Jim Allin 6-4, 6-2.
