The women’s track team finished ytll out of 16 schools in the Texas omen’s University Invitational last ■ekend in Denton. Host school TWU finished first, th Baylor finishing second and the lilersity of Texas third. ' f®ly four Aggies competed in the r g)|clay meet. Sharon Boyle pro- pnpied the main force behind the Ag tack, as she captured third place in 31 S-f.e| 1500-meter, two-mile and a Maria :r East with Mark Stewart-510, Ronnie Pearce-502, Marshall Blalock-484, Charles Hanger-467, Marvin Wade-455, Dale Hess-441, and Raymond Clipper-401 respectively.

In coed competition A&M came in second place with 1,720 points. The coed teams are composed of two females and two males per team.

UT headed the teams with a total of 1,749 points in coed rounds, TCU followed A&M in third position with 1,694 points, SWTSU took the fourth seat with 1,683 points, and LSU finished last with 1,649 points. Bean said he knew the day before the draft that either Atlanta or Cin cinnati wanted to draft him in the first round. Bean added, “Atlanta told me they were going to draft either Archie Griffin or me. I was very excited at the selection and look forward to playing ball with the Fal cons next year.” Glenn Bujnoch and Pat Thomas were both selected in the second round. Bujnoch, who was an offen sive tackle for the Aggies, was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. Thomas was drafted as a defensive back by the Los Angeles Rams, one step ahead of the Dallas Cowboys who were interested in the Plano product as a possible second or third round pick. The defensive leader of the Ag gies, Ed Simonini, was chosen by the Baltimore Colts in the third round. This was a surprise selection, since many of the pro scouts felt that Simonini was small. Simonini led the nation’s best de fense last year in total tackles. Simo nini scored once on an intercepted pass. The sixth round choice for the Buf falo Bills was Jackie Williams. Williams, a defensive back, was selected in order to shoreup the worst pass defense in pro football last year. Williams was second on the team in interceptions with four and saved the Mississippi game by batting away a pass in the end zone. Garth Ten Napel was surprisingly chosen in the seventh round by De troit. This was a disappointment since Ten Napel proved last year that he was one of the finest linebackers in the nation. Two choices in the ninth round were Bruce Welch and Richard Os borne. Welch was a 255-pound of fensive tackle who impressed Tampa coach John McKay in last year’s Lib erty Bowl. Osborne was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles and will have to compete for a berth with all pros Charlie Young and Harold Car michael. Osborne was the Aggies’ leading receiver last year with 13 receptions. Many of those receptions came in crucial third down situations when the Aggies needed yardage. Running back Skip Walker was chosen by the Houston Oilers in the eleventh round. Walker was the third leading rusher for the Aggies last year. He was also third in pass receptions with six. Carl Roaches was the final Aggie selected. He was chosen in the 14th round by Tampa. Roaches was cho sen by McKay as a punt returner. Roaches at one point in the season lead the nation in return yardage. He was the second leading pass re ceiver with eight receptions and made one of the biggest plays in theTexas game on an end-around for 47 yards. Coach Emory Bellard was not surprised at the selections of his of fensive or defensive players alike. He said, “Our defense was great last year, but our offense did not play dead. These guys performed well on offense all year. Bubba was high on the pro’s list all year. Bujnoch pro ved to be a great offensive tackle and Osborne was a great blocker as well as a receiver.” WANTED Chemical Engineering Student to work SUMMERS Wouldn’t you prefer to work in a summer job which would benefit your career goals!!

Wortham allowed six well-spaced hits in gaining the win. The Aggies’ only big threat was a three-hit sec ond inning. The threat was buried when an Aggie runner was halted at the plate. The Aggies had one hit in the first inning but were handcuffed after the second. The ‘Horns themselves were in a tight spot until the seventh inning. Pinch-hitter Rocky Thompson sin gled in Doug Duncan to break the scoreless game. In the eighth and final inning for the the ‘Horns Charles Proske and Mickey Reichenback scored to give the final tally. In the first game on Saturday, ‘Hoot’ Gibson allowed the Sips seven hits, but not a single run as the Ags pulled the same trick as Texas had on Friday. The game was scoreless until the sixth when back-to-back doubles by Tony Blanchard and Winston Whid- don accounted for the Aggies’ two runs. The Longhorns finished the Ags off in the second game, allowing the Ags two runs on five hits. For the series the Ags had 19 hits to the ‘Horns’ 25. Texas now leads the SWC with a 13-2 mark, while the Ags dropped one game back of Houston at 10-5. Houston meets Texas this weekend and the Aggies will face the Cougars the following weekend. The Houston-Aggie meeting will determine second place, more than likely, and thus the SWC’s second- place representative to the NCAA playoffs.
