Page 8 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, FEB. 3, 1976 ‘So-so’ show given by tracksters By PAUL McGRATH Battalion Sports Editor The Northeast Louisiana Relays proved to be nothing more than just another workday for the Texas A&M track team. No point totals were kept for the 22 competing teams as the Aggies turned out only a so-so performance at the Monroe meet. “We improved in several areas and in some we didn t, said Head Track Coach Charles Thomas. “Overall, we did about average I guess. ” For once, the field events looked stronger than those taking place on the track. Don Riggs tied his best leap ever in the high jump, going over twice at 6-8. Pole vaulter Brad Blair topped 15-6 for the second time this season and longjumper Tom Owens had his best early season ef- First away-win for women brings season record to 7-3 By CAROLYN BLOSSER Battalion Sports Writer The women s basketball team put it all together as the Aggies held off Wharton Junior College in the clos ing minutes to win 57-53 in a game played last Friday in Wharton. The game provided the Ags with their first win on the road, bringing Women netters win four-way match big The women’s tennis team scored an overwhelming victory as they swept the four-way match between Southwest Texas, Baylor, and Southwestern University last weekend in San Marcos. A&M competed in six matches with each school, losing only one to Sduthwest Texas. Their overall rec ord in match play was 17-1. A&M vs. Southwestern Sheri Sharp defeated J.

Although the Aggies stayed ahead the entire game, it was still a close contest from beginning to end. Wharton, aided by the 16-point production of both Karen Muskiet and Mamie Mauch, never allowed A&M to stjay too far. In the final minutes of the game, Wharton man aged to narrow the Ags lead down to two points. The Aggies kept their poise under pressure and hung on to their lead until the end of the game. Both teams were about even in the rebound and turnover departments, but the big difference was in shoot ing. The Ags hit almost 50 per cent of their shots from the field, a great improvement over their last several outings. Aggie scoring was evenly spread out, with three players getting into the double figures. Sally Morisse was high scorer with 13 points, followed by Cissy Auclair with 11 and Cindy Gough with 10. Tonight the Aggies will resume play when they host the University of Texas at 5:15 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Ags will be try ing to avenge their earlier loss to the* Longhorns last week in Austin. 'OLr «■.«,JL^ ^ swim against the University of Texas. “When you have the money to go out and buy a team (scholarships), have the facilities (an $8 million pool) and a coach who doesn t also have to teach, a school can have the kind of depth Texas delivers,” said Fosdick. The scores for the men’s and wo men’s meets were UT 83 — A&M 30 and UT86 — A&M 37, respectively. But the meet wasn’t all stormy waters. “The guys swam their second events and swam good times for this time of the year,” Fosdick said. Senior Steve Moore swam a 1:59.08 individual medley and is continuing to drop his times in both breaststroke events. Oran Marksbury is also making strokes count with a personal best of 2:16.78 in the breaststroke. Another long-distance swimmer has been found in Phil Pellegrino with with a 10:02.76 in the 1000-yard free. This was a 24-second drop for Pellegrino. The recurrence of Brad Swendigand Eric Rasmusen in the top swimmers list happens in the backstroke. Again it was the women’s 400-yard relay team that broke the old school record. The team members were Jeannie Buckles, Carol Hemphill, Beth McArthur and Debbie Starr. Starr also made history with a new record of :25.77 in the 50 freestyle. Buckles took her time down with a 2:19.24 in the 200 backstroke. The women also swam against Southwest Texas State last weekend. Again it was a story of record-making with Starr doing a 2:03.77 in the 200 free and Buckles turning in a 1:03 in the 100-yard fly. The women won that meet 90-39. Tech will be paying College Sta tion a visit when the Red Raiders and the Ags match strokes in L.P. Downs at 2 p.m. Saturday. The team will also meet Lamar and Dallas uni versities at 7 p.m. Friday here. ■X- ■X- * * * * * * * * * * * * * A new concept in flowers for today’s lifestyle.

Shot putters Frank West and Craig Carter also were fourth and fifth with tosses of 52-8 and 52-4. West had a 53-2 1/2 prelim throw to get into the finals. Shifton Baker reached the finals in the 60-yard high hurdles with a 7.3 effort in the prelims. Baker, who was participating in his first meet since returning from a knee injury, finished fifth in the finale with a 7.4. Allen Misher of LSU won the event with a 7.2 clocking. Charlie Cottle, who set a school record last week, was second in his two-mile heat with a 9:19.6. Baylor placed men in eight events, including three firsts and one second place finish. The Bears topped the field in the two-mile relay (7:43.9), the 440-yard dash (Mark Collins, 49.5) and the high jump (Kevin De- lorey, 7-0, tying the meet record). Baylor was narrowly beaten in the mile relay by Mississippi State, which featured stellar sprinter Evis Jennings on the anchor leg. The Aggie two-mile relay team (Adolph Tingan, Joel Vogt, Tony Wheeler and Jim Brannen anchor ing) used a 7:59.4 to take second in their heat. Tingan had the best half-mile leg with a 1:57.8 time. A&M ran a poor mile relay, cros sing the tape at 3:24.3. Curtis Collier and Chuck Butler ran good first and second legs, but a flu-weary Tingan could manage only a 52.2 on the third leg. Until that point the Ags had a 15 yard lead. They ended up third. The Aggies have an open date this weekend as they prepare for the United States Track and Field Fed eration meet held Oklahoma City Feb. 14. Thomas will use the results from this meet to determine his travel squad for the conference meet a week later. Twenty-two men is the limit for the title match. Thomas hopes to have vaulter Pat Ruehle and Wheeler healthy by then. He will also be looking at hur dler Craig MacPhail and quarter- miler Greg Carter for possible aid in the mile relay. ’ToVv'|4 $ CO0AT&H Cfi/iTS-R. a4u-u>Tn 4 9® isw •fcflr on\y oo 5. ; ~ -jpT^ ' — -JO T iD,—■—■—Si J* JOGGING CHESS SPIRITUAL AWARENESS THE MODERN WOMAN!
