Aggies record four firsts
A&M second in Baylor track
tm
By PAUL ARNETT
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggies had four firsts and
finished a strong second to Baylor at
the Baylor Invitational Track and
Field Meet in Waco this past Friday
night.
The Bears, who won this same
event last year, had firsts in three
relays and five individual events.
Baylor would have swept all four re
lays, but were beaten in the sprint
relay by 0.05 of a second by North
Texas State.
The Aggies’ strongest showing was
in the field events. Three men
finished first, second and sixth in the
discus. They were Steve Stewart,
Randy Scott and Frank West respec
tively.
Stewart’s toss was 186-3 and ec
lipsed the old record of 175-2 set in
1974 by Rice’s Buddy Briscoe.
Three Aggies also finished in the
shot put. They were Scott, Craig
Carter and West who finished sec
ond, third and fourth behind North
Texas State’s Phil Hall.
Another key victory for the Aggies
in the field events was in the pole
vault. Brad Blair won the event with
a jump of 16-6 and narrowly missed
at 17-0, which would have qualified
him for the Olympics. Joe Har
rington placed sixth with a jump of
13-6.
Bill Newton was the only Aggie
who was a repeat winner at the meet.
He tossed the javelin 210-10, while
Stewart finished sixth with a toss of
156-8.
Baylor won the event with a record
meet time of 40.3.
The 120 high hurdles found the
Aggies’ Shifton Baker finishing third
with a time of 14.1. This was the time
he ran last year when he set the meet
record. The record was broken by
Dave Duncan of Baylor who ran a
quick 13.8.
The Aggie thinclads held first
place through the field events, but
found the running events belonging
to Baylor.
The Aggies finished fourth in the
sprint relay with a time of 40.9.
The Aggies’ best effort in the run
ning events came in the 440 inter
mediate hurdles. Curtis Collier and
Bilker finished 1-2 and only 0.05 of a
second apart. Collier’s time was 52.8
and Baker’s was 52.85.

A probable NCAA berth and sec

the line this weekend when the
Texas A&M baseball team hosts

The Aggies are currently in third
place boasting a record of 27-7 for the
season and 10-5 in the conference.
Houston is in second place with a
season mark of 29-12 and 15-6 in the
conference. The Aggies must win
two out of the three games from the
Cougars to tie for second place with a
week remaining.
The teams will play a single game
at 3 p.m. on Friday and a doub
leheader on Saturday scheduled to
begin at 1 p.m.
Clint Thomas, with a record of
6-3, will receive the nod on Friday.
He will be after his 22nd career win
in an Aggie Uniform. The Ags ace,
James Gibson, will pitch the opener
of the twinbill, with David Lockett
going the nightcap. Gibson has the
best record among the Aggie
pitchers, supporting an 11-1 mark.
The Aggies were off this past
weekend, while Houston lost two
out of three to first place Texas.

Statewide telecasts of “That Cer
tain Spirit,’ a documentary pro
duced by Texas A&M for the cen
tennial, have been scheduled, said
Roger Miller, A&M’s centennial
coordinator.
The 30-minute film will be shown
locally by both KBTX and KAMU at
6:30 p.m., April 21, Aggie Muster.
Miller said the film will show on 21
Texas stations. The film will also be
seen in portions of Louisiana, Arkan
sas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico
and Mexico.
The documentary begins in 1876
when only six students showed up
for the first classes in October, and
contrasting that dubious start with
today’s Texas A&M.
“After opening with some vintage
frontier footage to depict the col

night. Now Montreal must wait to
see what happens in the other three
series.
Game Five in all three series are
scheduled for Tuesday night with
Los Angeles at Boston, the New
York Islanders at Buffalo and To
ronto at Philadelphia. All three se
ries are tied 2-2 and the sixth game in
each of the best-of-seven series are
scheduled for Thursday night.
That means the earliest the semi
finals can begin woidd be Saturday
night. And if any of the current
quarter-finals stretches to seven
games, the Canadiens would have to
wait until Tuesday, April 27, for the
semifinals to begin. That would
mean nine days between games for
Montreal.
Whatever the result of the other
three series, Montreal will play the
survivor with the fewest number of
regular-season points. The Cana
diens will also have the home-ice
edge in the semis as well as the finals;
if they get that far. The Canadiens,
earned those advantages by posting a
league-leading 127 points during the
regular season. And they looked
every bit that strong in eliminating
Chicago.
“It’s pretty tough to win four
straight from anybody, observed
Montreal Coach Scotty Bowman.
“We certainly did not overpower the
Black Hawks.”
The Canadiens defense surren
dered only three goals in the lour
games against Chicago.
In two of the other series,
momentum has switched with the
home-ice advantage. Buffalo and
Philadelphia hope that trend con
tinues.
Buffalo won its first two games at
home, then dropped the next two at
New York. Philadelphia’s defending
Stanley Cup champions won their
first two at home, then lost Games
Three and Four in Toronto.
Boston and Los Angeles, mean
while, split two games apiece on
each other’s ice.
Two straight losses to the Islan

It was a short but rough road the
Buffalo Braves and Detroit Pistons
traveled. Now they’ve got to try and
scale a couple of cliffs.
The Braves squeezed past
Philadelphia in the best-of-three
preliminary round of the National
Basketball Association playoffs, beat

Sunday.

ton Celtics, the winningest team in
the Eastern Conference. That best-
of-seven quarter-final series starts
Wednesday night in Boston.
But perhaps an even tougher task
confronts the Pistons.
First of all, a lot of fans think they
shouldn’t have been in the playoffs to
begin with, considering they
finished the season 10 games under
.500 — matching the worst record an
NBA team has ever taken into the
playoffs — and two games behind
Midwest Division winner Mil
waukee.
Then they had to go down to the
wire before taking their best-of-
three series from the Bucks with a
107-104 victory Sunday.
And now they have to play the
Golden State Warriors who happen
to be not only the winningest team in
the Western Conference but the
winningest team in the league — and
the NBA defending champion to
boot. That best-of-seven quarter
final opens Tuesday night in Oak
