The University of Houston, the Southwest Conference win ner, won the national crown by eight strokes over defending champion Oklahoma State. While the Cougars were run ning away with the team title at the four-day tournament, the Aggies of Coach Bob Ellis were barely managing to become one of the 20 teams qualifying for the final round after 54 holes. The Aggies, ranked sixth in the nation by one collegiate golf ing magazine, posted their best score of the tournament to finish 11th. “I’m real proud of the team and how they came back,” Ellis said of his squad, which was sec ond to Houston in the SWC race. Dave Ogrin led the Aggie comeback with a score of 71. Bobby Baker and Tim Carlton posted 72s and Monte Schauer had a 74. Doug Ward scored a 76 on the the final 18 holes. With the team score totaled from a team’s best four indi vidual scores, A&M came home with a four-day tally of 1,247. Ogrin had a 302 for the tour nament and Baker had a 305. Carlton finished with a 317 total while Schauer was fourth highest with a 323. Houston posted a 1,197 to Oklahoma State’s 1,205. Arizona State and Georgia.tied for third at 1,211. Southern California was a stroke behind for fourth.

Stellar kickers help in study Tony Franklin, Ove Johansson Russell Erxleben, three of the intry’s top collegiate place kick- joined sides recently at Texas rM University. Not against a diron foe, but as part of a study the physics of place kicking, eorge R. Golfer, a lecturer in University’s Health and Physi- Education department, assem- d the trio at Kyle Field as part of octoral dissertation project, e’s investigating variables such , speed and style in the form icking represented by each man. olfer’s search for subjects did take him far because three of the .ion’s best attended Texas ools. Johannson of Abilene ristian University holds the na tional record for the longest field goal, 69 yards. Erxleben, the lead ing college punter last year, is enrolled at the University of Texas. Franklin was a sophomore on the Texas A&M team and may hold the record for the shortest-held national record. He kicked 64- and 65-yard field goals against Baylor last year, entering the NCAA record books the same day Johannson boomed his 69-yarder for NAIA and overall honors. Golfer is still analyzing data gathered using three sophisticated cameras which recorded each of the 50-yard kicks of the three athletes. But already, preliminary findings show a difference of opinion with some textbooks. arleton State builds lew all-weather track \Sl taming Tarleton State Univer- /s new all-weather track to honor mer track coach and faculty mber Oscar H. Frazier has been proved by the Texas A&M Uni- sity System Board of Regents, laming the new facility the Oscar :ier track was recommended by Board of Directors of the Tarle- Alumni Association and ap- ved by the system board of re ts last month. Frazier was track coach and fac- member at Tarleton from 1925 1965. In 36 years of coaching at leton, Frazier’s track team won. state and conference cham- inships. A member of three championship ms himself, Frazier was born in ierville, and was a member of e 1918 state high school cham- fonship team at Hillsboro. In 1975 he was named Tarleton’s istinguished Faculty Member by the TSU Alumni Association. Frazier died in September, 1976. His widow, Adele, still resides in Stephenville. The $55,000 all-weather track at Tarleton’s Memorial Stadium was completed in time for track season this spring and is part of a $350,000 renovation and improvement pro gram at the stadium. ,EA ood Aifr :es aval oi- t bb l e r'g <@re en Franklin’s kicks come off the ground at an angle of about 30 de grees, 15 less than the prescribed angle for greatest distance. It re mains to be seen if Erxleben’s tra ditional style and Johannson’s soccer-style approach will produce similar angles of departure. Frank lin’s technique is a combination of the traditional and soccer styles. Golfer and assistant Dr. Linus Dowell were also surprised to find that air resistance was such a great factor in the range of the ball. Findings indicate that air resis tance may allow the ball to travel only a fourth as far as it does in a vacuum. The oblong pigskin does not follow a perfect parabolic path, either. Dowell conducted a past study on air resistance in punting with in structor James Cunningham and they found that punts were only slowed about half by air resistance. Place kicks are nothing new, they note. A 62-yard drop kick field goal was accomplished in 1898, a year after the place kick became a part of American football. But most of the studies on place kicking have dealt with factors other than air resistance such as mechani cal kicking machines, the use of a rubber kicking toe, inflated pres sure of the ball or the path of the foot during the kick.
