INTRODUCTORY
LECTURE
By PAUL McGRATH
Battalion Sports Editor
Texas A&M’s young track squad
finished a narrow third behind their
hosts at the LSU Invitational meet
held last Saturday in Baton Rouge.
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

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.

Somewhere around the corner,
down the road, or just a few blocks
away, there’s a great meal just
waiting for you. It’s "finger lickin’

waiting for?

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.
