ompetition stiff for superstars
By PAUL NETTELL
Contributor
Three of the six events that will
decide the TAMU Intramural
Superstar have been completed.
With 24 entrants, there has been
very stiff competition. In the 100
yard freestyle swimming competi
tion, Lynn Lassiter came in first
with a time of 57.1. Barbara Ger
man, the only female entrant, was
second with a 1:03.2. The next three
places were: Arthur Holts, 1:04.8;
Jim Boh Stephens, 1:08.2; and Tom
Meinecke, 1:13.5.
The second event consisted of
[bowling three games. The winners
and their three game totals were:
Bobby Ellis, 614; Brady Gage, 532;
Tom Meinecke, 506; Mike Lane,
476; and Jim Bob Stephens, 460.
The other event that has already
been completed is the freethrow
shooting contest. The participants
were given 20 shots apiece. The vic
tors in this event were Bobby Ellis
with 19 out of 20; Tom Meinecke,
17/20; Brady Gage, 16/20; and
Ronny Loomis, 15/20. There was a
three way tie for fifth place, with
Barbara German, Jerry Grier, and
Keith Seale all dunking 13/20.
There are three events remain
ing, including tennis, which is going
on this week, and the softball throw
and obstacle course to be held next
week.
In other IM action, the All-
University Softball champions were
decided last week in a game bet
ween Walton and F-l, the Civilian
and Military winners.
At the end of three innings of
play, F-l was ahead 5-2. Walton
then came back in the fourth to
score 5 runs and went on to win the
game, 13-10, becoming the All-
University softball champs.

winners in the field of 15 for
Saturday s 101st Kentucky Derby.

The Astroturf at Kyle Field is
being removed and a new artificial
surface will be installed in its place.
The $361,000 project should be
ready by the time the Aggies return
for practice in late summer. The
price includes removal of the old
carpet, the new padding, the new
turf and its installment. It does not
include asphalt repair which will be
necessary in some spots. The Athle

“We don’t know what shape the
asphalt is in, but suspect it to be bad
in some areas,’ said Wally Groff.
The process of installing the new
Astroturf includes pulling up the old
rug, scraping off the old padding,
and checking the asphalt for neces
sary repairs. The new padding is
then put in, followed by the install
ment of the Astroturf.
According to Groff, the surface
will be basically the same and have
generally the same appearance.
“We feel like Monsanto (producers
of Astroturf) has developed a better
carpet and a little better padding, ”
he said. “Hopefully, through new
technology, this carpet will last
longer.” Most stadiums replace the
artificial surface after five years of
use, which has been the same for
Kyle Field.
The old rug is worn quite a bit and
will be rolled up and put into stor
age, It does have a value, though.
Some will be used as indoor carpet,
possibly for the golf course club
house and the visitors dressing
room at the stadium.
Who will pay for this renovation?
Well, $150,000 will come from pro
fits of athletic events (primarily
football). The remainder will be
borrowed from the University.
Groff is hopeful that $80,000 can be
set aside each year (if a profit of this
is shown) for the placement offuture
Kyle Field Astroturf every five
years.
NY, Hunter
overpower
Orioles, 5-0
NEW YORK (AP) — Catfish
Hunter blanked Baltimore on five
hits while Thurman Munson and
Ron Blomberg provided the power
Thursday night to give the New
York Yankees a 5-0 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles.
Hunter, showing the form that
won him the Cy Young Award with
the Oakland A s last season, picked
up his second straight victory after
losing his first three starts of the
year.
Munson rocketed a two-run blast
over the right field fence in the
fourth inning and Blomberg, bat
ting for shortstop Jim Mason with
the bases loaded, knocked in three
runs with a double down the right
field line in the sixth.
