The quadrangular meet was dominated by Auburn who amassed 69 points. LSU squeezed by the Ag gies with 30 points to A&M’s 28. Houston finished a close fourth with a tally of 26. Auburn took firsts in eight of the 14 events to go along with five sec ond place finishes. This was the fourth indoor meet of the year for the Tigers and their better conditioning was shown in the meet’s results. The hosting Tigers managed four firsts in finishing a distant second to their counterparts from the Soudi- eastem Conference. The meets feature race pitted NCAA hurdles champ Larry Shipp against teammate Allen Misher. Misher pulled a mild upset in taking a 7.2 win in the 60-yard high hurdles over his fellow Bayou Bengal. Shipp finished third at 7.3. A&M displayed a marked im provement over their opening trial in Oklahoma City. “I thought everyone competed real well, said track coach Charles Thomas. “We made a big turnaround from our Oklahoma City meet. Auburn runner just five yards from the tape. Half-miler Jim Brannen had a similar finish, but the outcome was not quite so merry. Brannen made up a lot of ground to take second to Houston’s Jose Gonzales. Brannen felt he could have won the race had he not opted to go wide on the last curve and had stayed on the inside. The Aggies also took second in the mile relay (3:21.2) and in the pole vault with Brad Blair crossing the high bar at 15-0. Frank West was runnerup in the shot put with a toss of 52-61/2. Thomas voiced disap pointment that his weightmen. West and Craig Carter, did not do better. A&M, had it not been for some ill luck, could have finished a notch higher in the meet standings. Sophomore sprinter Chuck Butler from Pittsburgh, Pa., barely missed points in the 60-yard dash and was disqualified from the 600-yard race. But Butler, obviously irate with his misfortune, ran a strong second leg in the mile relay with an approximate clocking of 49.3. Jacob Yemme was also a victim of disqualification in the 1,000-yard run, although neither he or Butler Marquette leads fluid second 19 Associated Press Charles Cottle turned in the Ag gies’ finest performance in the meet with a school record-breaking victory in the two-mile. Cottle dashed to a 9:03.1 time on the tartan track of the LSU Fieldhouse to beat the old A&M mark, held by Frank Ybarbo since 1970, by seven sec onds. Marquette took over Monday as leader of the Second 19, which keeps changing faster than a switching man-to-man defense, while Indiana remained the leader in major college basketball. Indiana, beating Purdue and Minnesota last week to boost its rec ord to 16-0, received 59 first-place votes on 60 ballots cast by a nation wide panel of sports writers and sportscasters in the poll based on games through Sunday. The Hoosiers held a solid lead over second-plaCe Marquette — 1,198 points to 970. Cottle was running third behind two Auburn runners with three laps to go in the 16 lap race. Going into the last quarter, he slipped past one Auburn man and began to edge up on the Tiger lead runner. With half a lap remaining Cottle still trailed by almost eight yards when he started to make his move at the final curve. Cottle had just enough gas left to catch and pass the Marquette scored easy victories over Xavier of Ohio, Creighton and Fordham last week to boost its rec ord to 14-1 and replace Maryland, which plunged to seventh after los ing 82-77 to Clemson and 95-93 in overtime to North Carolina Sunday. The Terrapins fell to 13-3. Nevada-Las Vegas, 20-0, whipped Nevada-Reno twice and moved from fourth to third; North Carolina, 13-2, which lost to North Carolina State before beating Maryland, advanced from fifth to fourth. Rutgers, seventh last week, trounced Lehigh and Missouri won twice and moved up from No. 18 to No. 13 and was fol lowed by St. John’s, which split and fell from ninth place; Michigan; Ore gon State; Princeton, a newcomer to the standings which upset St. John’s 58-55 in overtime; Cincinnati; Centenary, another newcomer, and West Text State and Virginia Tech, which tied for 20th.

Grade A Chicken Grown in Texas jumped before the gun. There is a NCAA rule, however, that disallows any movement prior to the pull of the trigger. The LSU starter informed Thomas that this had been the case in both instances. Thomas said he was pleased with the improvement his squad had made in a week’s time and that he was especially satisfied with the way the freshmen are responding to col lege competition. Once again the Aggies will be on the road to Bayou country as they embark to Monroe for the North eastern Louisiana Relays. Hopeful ly, says Thomas, some of the Aggies’ headline performers will be up and around in time to make the journey. $ i I $ i i Tuesday, Jan. 27 Library Room 226 7:30 p.m. H MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION INCREASED MENTAL CLARITY FROM DEEP REST $ Lafayette and jumped to fifth with a 15-0 record while Washington, 16-1, won twice at Hawaii and moved up from eighth to sixth.
