Baker was the meet’s only double

the conference indoor meet, won

Rice’s Curtis Isiah was the meet’s

Baker’s 10 points. Isiah finished
second to Baker in both hurdles

The Aggies held a 10-point lead
with the three-mile run and mile
relay remaining. But Rice distance
men Mike Novelli and Marty
Froelick placed one-two in the
three-mile run and the Owls’ relay
win allowed Rice to edge past

Class runs 16
grueling miles
Running 16 miles along the Gal
veston seawall may not sound like
much of a weekend to most people.
For Dr. George Jessup’s marathon
class at Texas A&M University,
however, it’s a long-anticipated out
ing.
Jessup, director of Texas A&M’s
Human Performance Laboratory,
says he has problems in keeping the
28 class members from running too
far, and this weekend’s journey
along the seawall will probably give
some of them a chance to burn up
some excess enthusiasm.
The marathon class, taught by
Jessup and graduate assistant Bill
Squires, is one of several P.E.
courses Jessup has developed for
Aggies.
One of the prime objectives of the
class is to run the 26-mile marathon
during the April 9 Texas Relays at
Austin. Although only about 30
people will go this year, Jessup ex
pects the marathon class to grow to
two bus loads within two years.
Shortstop Robert Bonner dives back in ahead
of the Razorback pick-off attempt. The Aggies
are currently tied for first place in the SWC,

A&M will travel to Lubbock this weekend to
