(fourth in the mile in 4:13.58) paced
the Owls in the early going.
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

The women s tennis team will
travel to Beaumont Thursday to
compete in the Women’s Collegiate
Sectional Tournament. 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.

which was only good enough for
fourth place.
Tingan, Glass and Jachimowicz
kept A&M near the front on the first
three legs. Vogt, however, was no
match for the Baylor and Texas an
chormen (Walker Lea and Fischer).
He was edged into fourth, one-
hundredth of a second behind Tech.
Brad Blair broke his own confer
ence pole vault mark but was still
runnerup to Shepard. Blair tied for
second with the Horns’ Bill Estes
at 16-0.
Charles Cottle ran the two-mile in
9:08.6 for second behind Arkansas’
Randy Melancon. Melancon also
claimed a record with an 8:56.75
clocking.
Butler ran a :50.2 for fourth in the
quarter. Frank West and Craig Car
ter placed third and fifth in the shot
with throws of 55-2 1/4 and 51-4 3/4.
“Nobody was ready for that meet
but Baylor,” said Thomas. “I’m glad
that indoor business is out of the
way.” The Aggies begin outdoor
competition in Houston this
weekend.
About the apparent bad luck,
Thomas said, “It’s a case of whether
you do it or you don’t do it, and we
didn’t do it. ”
Texas A&M will have a healthy
squad for the first time as the track
season moves into the open air.
Thomas says that most of the squad
should be ready for this weekend’s
meet.
