The Owls had no first place points but finished third overall with a score of 31. The Cougars added Jose Gonzales’ 1:54.8 win in the half-mile to Cavitt’s points to finish fourth, half a point behind Texas Tech. Houston Coach Johnny Morriss appeared quite upset when Larry Gnatzig lost a third-place finish in the 1,000 after disqualification by meet officials. Those points would have moved UH ahead ofTech in the standings. It was a day full of illness and ill luck for the Aggies of Coach Charlie Thomas. Texas A&M had to settle for sixth with 19 points. The Aggies were denied points in the distance medley, high jump and half-mile with sixth place finishes in each event. Hurdlers Shifton Baker and Craig MacPhail were suffering from viruses and only Baker was able to compete. He ended in fourth with a :7.38. Charles Dawson broke a school record during the prelims of the 60- yard dash with a :6.18. He was fifth in the finals at :6.2. The 60-yard dash mark was broken by Lorenszo Ashford of TCU in :6.01. Ashford ran a :6.02 in the pre lims. Misfortune soon found a home in the Aggie camp. Adolph Tingan false started in the 600 and was escorted off the track. The Aggies lost more points in their mile relay heat when Curtis Collier tripped on the first leg. Chuck Butler and Gregory Clark got the Ags back into the race but the distance was too far to make up. The A&M two-mile relay team of Tingan, and three freshmen: Tommy Glass, Walter Jachimowicz and Joel Vogt finished at 7:46.54, six seconds under the old mark — but a time Teammate Michael Carter ran P' 1 ” 1 test 600-yard dash ever in the jfTexas in slicing three seconds old mark in his record 1:09.7 ance.

All of the top teams from Texas and Louisiana will be competing in the three-day tour nament. The Aggies are coming off a couple of tough dual matches against Texas Christian University and Mary Hardin-Baylor. Against TCU last Saturday in Fort Worth, the Ags won five out of nine matches to take a 5-4 victory. Jane Wright, Dessie Samuels, Mary Guerra, Ginny van Hardeveld, and Robin Kendrick all won their singles matches. In doubles competition, Sharp and Patty Randolph teamed up to give A&M their lone doubles victory. The Aggies then hosted Mary Hardin-Baylor here in a dual match played yesterday afternoon. Unfor tunately, the Ags didn’t meet with similar success. Mary Hardin-Baylor defeated A&M in all but one match, giving the Aggies their first and only loss after eight dual matches. Freshmen van Hardeveld and Guerra saved A&M from a shutout by winning their doubles match 7-6, 6-4. Mary Hardin-Baylor, boasting players from Australia, England, Canada, and the Bahamas, was the toughest competition the Ags have faced this season, said Coach Ellen Buchanan. “The tougher competition is good,’’ said Buchanan. “It helps us for our tournament play. ” Looking ahead to the tournament this weekend in Beaumont, Coach Buchanan feels that her team should finish high in the standings.
