I half was i the twi earn mar the placers due to more misses. Randy Scott had a good throw in the shot put, 54-5 feet, although he was unable to score any points. Nelson said the sloppy conditions and 53 de gree weather hindered the athletes throughout the Relays. The A&M sprinters especially suf fered as none of the relay teams qual ified for the finals. The results were also tragic in the 100-meter race when Charles Dawson jumped the gun, which wins an automatic dis qualification; while Ray Brooks placed third in his heat, one place short of gaining the finals. The distance medley quartet of Manfred Kohrs, Walter Jachimowicz, Chuck Butler and Glass ran just under 10 minutes in their heat and could not make the finals. Kohrs had a 4:09.6 on his mile leg to show signs he was coming around once more. Jachimowicz was timed at 3:04 in the three leg (1,320 yards) while Butler was clocked at 47.3 in the quarter. Glass anchored with a 1:55.5 half mile. Hurdler Shifton Baker developed a sore leg in the cold weather and was withheld from the finals in the high hurdles. He previously ran a 52.5 in the 440-yard intermediates, while teammate Curtis Collier was in at 54.5. The Southwest Conference schools fared well at the Des Moin- lowa, meet, which attracts schools from all across the country. Baylor won the two-mile relay (7:20.74) and the Bears’ Mark Collins won the 400-meter dash in 46.1. Texas won the discus and shot put behind the efforts of their stellar weightmen, Jim McGoldrick and Dana LeDuc. LeDuc had a 63-9 1/2 foot toss in the shot, while his team mate tossed the plate 196-6 feet. Longhorn pole vaulter David Shepherd had a 16-6 foot leap in a special event. TCU, Texas and Houston finished second, third and fourth in the 880- yard relay while the Horns and Bears were third and fourth in 440-yard relay. The Cougars placed third in the sprint medley relay and Baylor took third in the mile relay. “The SWC is getting tough,” Nel son said. “In the major relays we wiped them out (schools from other conferences). ” The remainder of the Aggie squad (only 17 went to Drake) participated in a pickup meet in Waco. Frank West was a double winner in the shot and discus with throws of 55-1 and 163-0 feet. Tom Owen ran a 9.7 hundred while jumping 23-0 feet in the long jump. Last Wednesday was the signing date for new recruits, but the Aggies have yet to give away any of their four scholarships.

Battalion Classified Call 845-2611 The Ags had a surprise in tennis this past weekend in Waco. His name was Charles Emley. Emley, a relative unknown in con ference play this year, served and volleyed his way into the finals of the number one singles division. He was defeated on a great come from be hind effort by SMU’s Mark Vines. Emley, who was forced to win a qualifying match to even make the division, won the first set 6-3, but lost the next two 6-4, 7-5. Vines, the left-handed freshman, looked like he was finished throughout the match, yet managed two service breaks in the final set to win. Overall the Aggies finished seventh in the conference with 25 points. Houston won the conference for the second time in three years, defeating second place Texas by three points. Houston only won two of the final matches, yet had won enough dual meets in conference play this year to hold off Texas’ charge. The Houston victories came in the number two and number five singles divisions. Texas was the big winner of the tournament. They won four events, which included the number three and number six singles divisions along with the number two and three divisions. Texas and Houston were involved in the longest match of the tourna ment. The doubles team of Gary Plock-Graham Whaling of Texas and Ricardo Ycaza-Colon Nunez of Houston battled through three close sets. Texas won the match by a score of 5-7, 6-2, 7-6. Another highlight of the tourna ment happened in the number one doubles division. Randy Crawford- Tut Bartzen of TCU defeated Gon- zalo Nunez-Stewart Keller of Texas, and marked the first time TCU has ever won a doubles crown. Bartzen is the son of the Froggies’ head coach. Final team scores of the tourna ment were: Houston 77, Texas 74, SMU 61, Rice 43, TCU 41, Arkansas 36, A&M 25, Texas Tech 11 and Baylor 10. — Paul Arnett MAKE HAPPY COTTAGE HEADQUARTERS FOR MOTHER S DAY GIFTS HAPPY COTTAGE 809 E. 29th 3 blocks from City National Bank HAPPY COTTAGE CHARLIS BOUTIQUE Monday’s Results Houston at Montreal, ppd., snow New York 3, Atlanta 1 St. Louis 15, San Francisco 7 Philadelphia 10, Cincinnati 9 San Diego 6, Chicago 2 Los Angeles 7, Pittsburgh 1 Today’s Games Houston (Richard 2-1) at Montreal (Fry man 2-1) Atlanta (Morton 0-2) at New York (Swan 0-1) Cincinnati (Billingham 1-2) at Philadelphia (Underwood 1-0), n Chicago (Burris 0-1) at San Diego (Wehr- meister 0-2), n Pittsburgh (Kison 1-1) at Los Angeles (Rau 2-0), n St. Louis (McGlothen 1-2) at San Fran cisco (D’Acquisto 0-0), n Wedhesaay’s Games Houston at Montreal Atlanta at New York St. Louis at San Francisco Cincinnati at Philadelphia, n Chicago at San Diego, n Pittsburgh at Los Angeles, n That Place PROGRESSIVE PRECISION HAIRCUTTING 707 TEXAS % 846-6933 NOW Complete Scientific Programmability from Hewlett-Packard for $30 less than ever before. The HP-25: Just $165? 1 - ii. V Think of the HP-25 as an electronic slide rule you can program com pletely. The reason: It solves repetitive problems easily and quickly. Here’s how. Switch to PRGM. Enter the keystrokes you need to solve your problem once and then flip the PRGM switch to RUN. That’s it. The only thing you have to do for each iteration from then on is enter your variables and press the R/S (Run/ Stop) key. It’s that simple. The result: Repetitive problems are no longer a repetitive problem. But that’s only part of the HP-25 story. Here’s more. You can add to, check or edit your programs at will. You can also write one- second interruptions into your program in case you want to note intermediate answers. And because the keycodes of all prefixed functions are merged, the 49-step program memory can actually store up to 147 key strokes. (How’s that for a memory capacity!) What’s more, you can store numbers in eight data registers and perform 7 2 preprogrammed functions and operations (logs, trig, mean deviations, rectangular-polar conversions, summations—you name it). Not to mention RPN logic; fixed decimal, scientific and engineering notation; and much, much more. In fact, if you wanted to know all the HP-25 can do for you it would take a book. But don’t worry, we’ve already written one — 125 pages-worth—just chock full of applica tions programs and problem solutions. Such as Algebra and Number Theory, Numerical Methods, Statistics—even Games. In detail. And don’t forget the best news. The price. The HP-25 was an exceptional value at $195. Right now it’s an out-and-out bargain at $165* The HP-25. There’s never been a calcu lator with this kind of capability at this kind of a low price before, with HP’s name on it. And you know what that means. Design, performance and a back up support system you just can’t get anywhere else. The HP-25 is almost certainly available at your college bookstore.
