Ags take track too
Baylor harriers trounced by A&M
By paul McGrath
Battalion Sports Editor
With less than a half mile to go,
Charles Cottle, the senior member
of the Texas A&M Cross Country
team, turned to his running mates
Bruce Smith and Kyle Heffner and
said, “Let’s finish together.’ The
trio went on to do just that as they all
tied for first, paving the way for the
Aggies second straight meet vic
tory, this time over the Baylor
Bears.
Coach Nelson’s harriers placed
the top four runners and seven in
the top ten to accumulate 17 points
to the Bear’s 42.
Cottle, Smith and Heffner were
clocked at 19:19, a 4:50 pace, pretty
good considering the driving rain
and treacherous footing plaguing
both sides.
Manfred Korhs was the Aggies’
fourth man at 19:31. Lane Mitchell
was seventh at 20:06, Walter
Jachimowicz eighth with a 20:12 and
Jacob Yemme number ten at the
heels of his teammate with a 20:15.

This was the first four-mile course
run by the Ags in almost a month.
However the route was 120 yards
short, causing about a 17 second
discrepancy in the times.
“The weather was pretty good for
running, we ran a fast pace. Run
ning on the tar (part of the course
was a paved road) hurt some of us,
said Smith. “It was a bit slippery.
Several guys fell down.
Coach Nelson has been using
aerobics to develop his runners, a
program that seems to be paying off.
“Basically what it amounts to is
that aerobic capacity is brought
about by long, slower running.
Anaerobic means a shorter, faster
run,’ Nelson said.
The program develops the
cardio-vascular system and lets
more oxygen reach the lungs to be
dispensed throughout the body.
Thereby fatigue, which is a combi
nation of lactic acid and a lack of
oxygen, can more easily be avoided.
The Aggies run from 85 to 120
miles a week to build up their
aerobic levels. Nelson said the run
ners try to get their heartbeats bet
ween 140 and 160 beats a minute in
order to strengthen the heart. The
athletes pause at certain intervals to
measure their pulse rates before
taking off at a regular pace again.
A&M has two weeks to prepare
for the Southwest Conference meet
held in Austin Nov. 10. The course
will cover six-miles.
Both Nelson and Smith voiced
optimism for the team to advance to
the NCAA meet later in November
despite tough competition from Ar
kansas and Rice. Four teams from
this district are selected to go along
with eight individuals who also
meet the standard.
Paralyzed gridiron player
files suit for $3.5 million
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A
Texas Christian University football
player injured in a 1974 game with
Alabama filed a $3.5 million suit
Monday, claiming the artificial play
ing surface was unsafe.
The action was filed by Kent
Waldrep in Jefferson County circuit
court. It named as defendants five
firms allegedly connected with the
manufacture and installation of the
Poly Turf, then on Legion Field in
Birmingham.
Waldrep said he was “severely
and permanently injured as a result
of the impact on his head and neck
against the artificial playing surface
of the football field, ” resulting in his
neck being broken and his spinal
cord injured.
Waldrep, 21, accused the defen
dants of negligence and said the
playing surface was “unreasonably
dangerous and not reasonably fit for
use as a football playing field.’
Waldrep filed his suit two days
after he was a special guest at Leg
ion Field at this year’s TCU-
Alabama game, won by Alabama
45-0. He received an ovation when
his wheelchair was rolled onto the
field prior to the game. He is par
tially paralyzed.

William J. Grays, right, Texas A&M ’73:
"You can see your skills blossom."
At Amoco Production Company
we believe that working is better
than watching. Like the young
Engineers pictured here, you’ll
be given a direct engineering
assignment the first day on the
job. And from your first day on
the job you’ll be engineering for
a leader, a member of the
Standard Oil (Indiana) family —
the 13th largest industrial firm
and the 6th largest oil producer
in the country. But our engineer
ing groups are small and indi
vidual accomplishments are
quickly recognized. Amoco
Production Company is a young
leader. About 40% of our prac
ticing engineers are 30 years of
age or younger, and our
salaries and comprehensive
benefits are among the best in
all of U.S. industry. If you are
a Senior majoring in Engineer

to talk to you about the possi
bility of employment...as an
