Rice finished with 86 points to
Texas’ 7914, with Baylor third with
7714 points. Lamar finished a strong
fourth with 69 points while Texas
Tech had 25; North Texas State, 22;
SMU, 19; and TCU, 9 points.
Baker scored 2014 of A&M’s 34
points on the track in be coming the
meet’s high point man and Out
standing Athlete. He won the 440-
yard intermediate hurdles, was sec
ond in the 120-yard high hurdles
and ran on A&M’s sprint and mile
relay teams which placed second
and fifth respectively.
Baker ran a respectable 52.7 in
the intermediates and a 13.5 in the
highs. Baylor’s Davy Duncan also
ran a 13.8, but was given the nod
ahead of Baker. It was Baker’s first
loss of the outdoor season.
Blair cleared 16-8 feet in the pole
vault to better his previous school
record by an inch. He barely missed
on his last attempt at 17 feet.
Strong, a freshman, vaulted 15-6 to
place third.
The Aggies scored a big 24 events
in the shot put with Frank West,
Randy Scott and Tim Scott going
one-two-three. Tim Scott also won
the discus with West and Steve
Stewart placing fourth and fifth to
give A&M 16 more points.
The Aggies were a surprising sec
ond in the sprint relay, won by
Lamar. Baker led off and gave the
baton to Philip Steen. The Aggies
were about even with the leaders
when Reggie Jamerson began the
third leg’ losing several yards to
Lamar, Rice and Baylor. Ray Brooks
nudged into second at the finish
with a strong anchor leg as A&M
was clocked at 41.6. Baylor and Rice
were third and fourth, also in 41.6.
It was A&M’s best relay effort this
season and the finish was protested
by Rice Coach Bobby Maywith the
judges confirming their previous
decision.
“I thought we won it,” said
Brooks, the A&M anchorman. “I
looked to my left after I crossed (the
finish) and saw Baylor and Rice still
fighting for the tape.”
Texas, with Olympian Johnny
Jones anchoring, finished last after a

bad exchange between the second
and third men. Longhorn hurdler
David Nelson injured his thigh dur
ing the race and he was forced to
skip the intermediates. His loss also
hurt the UT mile relay effort as
Texas failed to field a team.
Jones easily won the 440-yard
dash in an excellent early season
time of 46.9. Texas miler Paul Craig
and Texas Tech longjumper Jim
McAndrews, both Canadian Olym
pians, won their events with Craig
running a 4:09.4 mile and McAn
drews jumping 23-7V4 feet.
The Border Olympics victory was
A&M’s first win in a major meet
since the 1970 conference meet.
Naturally, Thomas was very satis
fied with the outcome.
“We figured on getting a
maximum of 105 points, but we
didn’t know if that would win it or
not,” Thomas said. “Down the line,
more of them (A&M athletes) just
came through when we needed
them.”
The Aggies will be off this week,
although Baker and Blair will be
competing in the National Col
legiate Athletic Association indoor
meet at Detroit, Mich. Texas A&M
will host the College Station Relays
on March 19.

“We just couldn’t hit against
Stephen F.,” coach Don said. ‘That
plus the fact that they were out
standing the entire tournament
caused the large point spread.”
Susan Kimbro led the scoring for
the Ags against SFA with 25 points
followed by Cindy Gough with 12
and Sally Morisse with 10.
The Aggies had a sluggish first
half against Texas Tech in the conso
lation bracket and lost to the Raid
ers 69-50.
A&M had 22 turnovers against
Tech and were only able to make 57
field goal attempts in the first half.
“We were physically and men
tally tired after the defeat by
Stephen F.,” coach Don said. We
got behind by 15 points in the first
half and were never able to make up
the difference.”
The Aggies ended the season with
a record of 15-17.
