By Au gust he was a widely acclaimed Olympic gold medalist. Now, he just runs track for the University of Texas. Johnny “Lam” Jones will lead Coach Cleburne Price’s squad against Texas A&M in a dual meet this Saturday at Kyle Field to open the outdoor season for both schools. The women’s teams from both schools will also compete. The field events will start at 1 p.m. and the running events will begin at 3 p.m. Jones, who was sixth in the 100- meter dash and ran on the winning United States 400-meter relay team at Montreal and who started at halfback for the Longhorns during the fall, may compete in the open quarter, the sprint relay and mile relay. In addition to Jones, the Long horns will field another Olympian in miler Paul Craig. Craig represented his native Canada at Montreal, competing in the 1,500-meter race. He won the Southwest Conference indoor mile two weeks ago in 4:10.5. Texas, the defending outdoor champ, lost much of the strength it had in the field events, an area where the Horns scored 70 of their 119 crown winning points last year. Gone are pole vaulters David Shepard and Frank Estes and weightmen Dana LeDuc and Jim McGoldrick who scored the bulk of UT’s points in the field events. Texas’ best hope in the pole vault, freshman Mark Herns, has yet to clear 16-0 feet and their top shot putter, Rob Robinson, failed to place in the conference indoor meet. The Horns’ status in the long jump is unknown, but high jumper Terry Davenport should help UT save face in his specialty. Davenport placed second in indoors to Baylor’s stellar jumper Kevin Delorey. The Aggies of Coach Charles Thomas will be hampered by in juries to several key athletes. Tony Wheeler, the SWC half mile cham pion, is out with a injured achilles tendon and hurdler Curtis Collier will also miss tomorrow’s meet be cause of leg problems. Pole vaulter Brad Blair, indoor conference and regional champ, will compete despite an injured heel. He and teammate Pat Reuhle have cleared 16-0 feet with Blair having gone 16-6 feet last weekend. Frank West, Randy Scott, Tim Scott and Craig Carter will compete Aggies defeat Owls 79-61 6:15-8:00-9:45 6:00-7:45-9:30 CUNT EASTWOOD IS DIRTY HARRY • THE ENFORCER THE SHAG6V D.A.

The victory assured the Ag gies of at least a fifth place tie in the Southwest Conference(SWC) chase. The crowds at Autry Court have been known to launch foreign mat ter onto the court, but last night they outdid themselves. Every time the officials made a call the crowd didn’t like, here came a barrage of garbage. Despite the adverse conditions, the Aggies played well enough to capture their eighth SWC victory against six defeats. They were re laxed and in complete control throughout the contest. “It was nice to play a ball game that lacked emotion,” coach Shelby Metcalf said. “We’ve had so many tough ball games the past couple of weeks that I’m glad to see a game like this one. Steve Jones, the Aggies leading scorer, summed the game up in this manner. “We knew we were going to win whep we stepped out on the court,” Jones said. “All that was in doubt was what the final score would be. We sure needed this one to help us prepare for Houston.” Jones scored 20 points, grabbed five rebounds and had three assists in leading the Aggie attack. The senior from Houston Wheatly al most played the entire game. Wally Swanson was second in scoring with 19 points, and first in rebounding with eight. It was the best game for Swanson this year. “I felt good out there,” Swanson said. “The only problem was I mis sed a lot of lay-ups. The best part of our game tonight was our press.” The Aggie press caused the Owls to turn the ball over in the back court eight times in the first half. After the first 20 minutes of play, the Ags were leading 41-22. The second half opened up with Rice hitting almost every shot they attempted. Darden Elbert played well the final 20 minutes and finished the evening as the game’s leading scorer with 21 points. Be hind his strong outside shooting the Owls cut the Aggie lead to seven, with five minutes remaining in the game.

RUDDER FORUM FEB. 14-19 8:00 P.M. STUDENTS $1.75 ADULTS $2.75 CHILDREN $1.00 By STEVE MARTINDALE On the strength of three pins and two forfeits the Texas A&M wrestl ing club beat Richland College 30-19 Thursday night in preparation for this weekend’s Southwest Con ference Tournament. Richland won the other five matches but could only pick up one pin, winning the other four by deci sions. Both a pin and a forfeit are worth six points toward the team total while a decision is usually worth three. Richland had one four point decision win. The Aggies, now with a 12-2 rec ord, and Richland will join most of the other SWC schools and some other Texas colleges in Austin today and tomorrow for what has been dubbed the Southwest Conference Tournament. Actually, since the conference has not accepted wrestling as a varsity sport, the tourney can not produce a conference champion. Jack Cliff, Jay Clements and Blair Monhollon picked up the pins for the Aggies and Bob Hines and Richard Lynn received forfeits. Aggie Rick Vigue lost by a deci sion to Lefect Cambell, 7-6, in the 118 pound division. Vigue will enter the tourney today as the state’s top seed and Cambell will be in the No. 2 spot. “Even if Rick loses to Cambell he’ll be the state’s top seed,” Aggie coach Jim Giunta explained prior to the match. “Rick’s already heat him twice this year.
