The Baylor Bears of coach Clyde
Hart halted the University of Texas’
three year reign at Laredo with a
narrow three point victory, 94 1/3 to
91 1/3. It was the Bears’ first Olym
pics win since 1961.
The Rice Owls finished a strong
third with 76 points and the Texas
A&M track team coached by Charles
Thomas took fourth with 60 points.
Houston was fifth, collecting 58
marks.
The Bears emerged victors in six of
the 16 events but were still hard
pressed by the Longhorns. It was not
until the final event, the mile relay,
that the champion was determined.
Texas was leading the Bears at that
point, thanks to a win in the high
jump by Rod Harvey, and a second
place finish would give the meet to
the Horns. But the Texas quartet
finished fourth with Baylor winning
the race and the meet.
The Aggies were third going into
the last three events, the 220-yard
dash, three-mile run and mile relay.
Rice’s Zoe Simpson, after winning
the 100-yard dash in 9.3, won the 220
to move the Owls ahead of the Ags to
take individual high point honors at
the meet. Jeff Wells finished 50
yards ahead of the pack in the
three-mile to pad the Rice lead.
The Bears won both relay events
and added 24 points with a one-two-
three finish in the long jump. The
Horns won only three events, the
mile run, high jump and discus, but
their accumulation of 55 1/3 points in
the six field events kept them apace
with the Bears.
The Aggie thinclads had perhaps
their best performance of the season,
showing strength in the shot put,
half-mile and hurdles. A&M’s Frank
West, assisted by the absence of
UT’s world class weightman, Dana
LeDuc, won the shot with a toss of
