The Aggies took fifth in the sprint relay and sixth in the mile relay with times of 40.7 and 3:16.3. Texas won only four events to Baylor’s six, but the Horn’s balance and strength in the field events gave them their 36th track and field crown. LeDuc of Texas was the meet’s high point man with 18, in cluding a first place throw in the shot of 66-11 feet. McGoldrick took the discus with an excellent throw of 200-1, putting him in an excellent position to defend his national title in that event. Texas scored 24 points in the pole vault behind the one-two- four-five finishes of Frank Estes, David Sheperd, Mark Herns and Kim Pitt- ner, to shut the door on the fast charging Bears. This amount offset Baylor’s 26 marks in the long jump after a one-two-three finish. Baylor won both relay events, surprising the home crowd with a 40.0 victory in the 440-yard relay. The Bears continued to pile points in the middle distance races, 20 in the quarter and 10 in the half mile. Col lins and Son went one-two in the o open 440 with times of 46.1 and 46.5. Davy Duncan ran a strong 13.8 in the high hurdles to claim the win over such competitors as Rice’s Cur tis Isiah, UH’s Floyd Cavitt and Baker.

The music festival was to have been held in Gonzales. However, Nelson decided to cancel the event after Gonzales County commission ers last week refused to grant a per mit. An estimated 300,000 persons had been expected to attend. The petitions asked that the singer reconsider his decision. Nelson could not be reached for comment. Spokesmen for “Friends” said that the petitions are being circulated in Austin, Gonzales, Moulton and Shiner. IfSg The strain shows in Tommy Owens face as he jumps 23’8^4’ led up lame. The same thing hap pened to Rice sprinter Zoe Simpson in the furlough, who won the 100- yard dash after overcoming an injury-filled season. Simpson, who owns a 20.5 in the furlong this year, injured his leg once again during that event and fell out of the race. Rice lost still more points when hurdler Mike Fulghum, one of the favorites in the highs, failed to make the fi nals. Isiah tripped over a hurdle while competing in the inter mediates and could not recover enough to score any points. Rice’s all-American distance man Jeff Wells ended his college career successfully, placing second in both the mile and three-mile with times of 4:05.66 and 13:49.64. The Aggies lose only 11 1/4 points off this year’s squad and Thomas ap pears optimistic about his team’s chances for next year.
