ports THE BATTALION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1978 Page 7 star of SWC meet United Press International I FORT WORTH, Texas — The luthwest Conference indoor track id field championships will be run |Friday night and to save everybody the trouble they might as well draw the winner out of a hat. “I don’t know why basketball coaches complain about one point losses, said Baylor coach Clyde orns recruit est football talent United Press International iThe Texas Longhorns cleaned up S8|iii the national football recruiting Bnpaign Wednesday, hauling in the top prospects in both Ohio and 11 Oklahoma as well as making the fi biggest catch in their own state. HBut Texas A&M lost its most prized recruit, running hack Milton Bllins of Blooming Grove, to North | St Texas State. ^•jAlthough dozens of high school letics signed letter of intent with Southwest Conference schools last ?k, any other school in the coun- A M could sign those prospects begin- njng Wednesday. ,.31 ■There were few defections, bow er, and while protecting their ns in Texas, the Longhorns made is! some huge advances elsewhere, agmlonghorns Coach Fred Akers flew' ■ Youngstown, Ohio Tuesday and shortly after dawn Wednesday ;ned A.J. Jones, a 6-1, 190-pound Inning hack who averaged 7.8 yards alarry last season and finished fifth 100-yard dash at the state track et last spring. And at the same time a Texas assis- t was busy signing Rodney Tate of ggs, Okla., a highly sought run- ocii ilig back who earlier had signed a >:! Jftter intent with the Oklahoma rift Boners. T changed my mind four times,’ g laid Tate, who had been urged by Oklahoma Gov. David Boren to sign with the Sooners. "But I decided on Texas. The Longhorns also rounded up prospects who earlier had signed SWC letters of intent including highly recruited quraterback Don nie Little of Dickinson, running back Brad Beck of Perryton, tight end Lawrence Sampleton of Sequin and quarterback Booger Brooks of An drews. Texas appeared to have recruited far and away the best crop of players and did not lose one of its top targets. But Texas A&M was not so fortu nate. The Aggies had earlier signed Col lins, who averaged nine yards every time he touched the ball during his career. But Wednesday Collins signed a national letter with North Texas. NTSU officials said they felt Collins was the most highly recruited player ever to sign a scholarship with the school. "This is the best of our six recruit ing seasons, said North Texas Coach Hayden Fry. "And we’ve already had some tai ent good enough to win 14 of our last 17 games. Hart. “We lost last year’s meet by a half a point. If someone wins it this year by a full point it will be like a runaway. Close and exciting competition is expected in not only the team race, but in several individual contests as well with defending champion Hous ton, Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Rice and Arkansas all hoping to capture the title. Five defending champions will be back and despite the loss of Texas star sprinter — Johnny Jones — the 60-yard dash could be the most excit ing race of the night. Jones will miss the indoor meet becaue of a hamstring pull he suf fered in the Longhorns’ Cotton Bowl loss to Notre Dame, but Texas A&M’s Curtis Dickey would proba bly have been the favorite anyway. Dickey ran the third fastest elec tronically timed 60-yard dash finals in history last weekend at Oklahoma City, a 6.18. Houston McTear s world record is 6.11. Arkansas distance runner Niall O Shaughnessy, who is having an outstanding indoor season, will likely compete in the 1,000-yard run Friday night, where he set a confer ence record of 2:06.75. Earlier in tbe indoor season O Shaughnessy upset indoor world record holder Dick Buerkle and last weekend in Oklahoma he anchored the Arkansas distance medley relay team to a winning time of 9:41.60, less than three seconds off the world record. O Shaughnessy, a native of Ire land, will be completing his col legiate eligibility with the indoor season that concludes with the NCAA championships in Detroit. Other than O Shaughnessy, the defending champions in action Fri day night will be Houston’s Cecil Overstreet in the long jump; Baylor s Mark Collins in the 440-yard dash although he will probably run in the 600 Friday; Houston shot putter Randy Coffman and Arkansas Steve Baker in the two-mile. Overstreet jumped 25 4% on his last try in the 1977 meet which gave Houston the team championship with 4314 points. Baylor finished with 43, Texas A&M had 40, Texas 38>4 and Rice 35. This year’s meet could be just as close. “Arkansas will be a big key with its distance people, ” said Bart. “If they don t win it, I think they will deter mine who will."
