A year ago, Johnny Jones was a
highly recruited running back and
sprinter at Lampasas High. 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

Amidst paper cups, ice, lunch
sacks, frizbees and even a straw hat,
Texas A&M defeated the Rice Owls,
79-61. 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.

play. Forced to make the Aggies

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. In the tournament,
they’ll have it arranged so it will be
