The Aggies had a good team effort in Laredo. Coach Ted Nelson was pleased with the performance, but felt the Aggies should have won the meet. “A lot of things happened in the meet that hurt us. We should have won the meet by 20 points, said Nelson. "Randy Hall should have placed in the pole vault and we didn’t get points in some of the events we thought we should.” Although the Aggies did not do as well as expected, there were some good individual efforts. Steve Stewart won the discus with a throw of 174-1, while Tim Scott placed third in the same event with a 173-4 toss. Scott also placed second in the shot put with a 54-6.5 effort. Randy Scott, no relation to Tim, placed third in the shot put throwing 52.5. The 440-relay team of Mosley, Brooks, Leslie Kerr, and Curtis Dickey, took first with a time of 40.9.

Mark Patterson A night at the fight: I’ve always been someone who would do almost anything if I could see a good fist fight. Since grade school on, if two of my chums de cided to lock horns and do battle for whatever cause seemed necessary, I was usually playground-side urging them on. Well the urge has stayed with me through the years and I traveled deep into the heart of Bryan last Thursday night to watch some not too artistic, but a lot of laughs box ing. year’s competition (up from 32 last year). The teams entered as groups of three in either the open or Greek divisions. Even with the requirements so loosely set only one dorm, Moses Hall, entired this year s competi tion. And the dorm produced one champion. Jay Gilbert, in the open heavyweight division. In the second annual Sigma Phi Epsilon Fight Night held last Wed nesday and Thursday nights at the National Guard Armory, the fists were flying and the blood was flow ing. Now a real lover of boxing would probably have groaned at the style of the contestants, but what could he expect? The contest was open to Texas A&M students, with most of them far below the standards of your experienced ringmen. But the real requirement for entering was if you could take a punch. That’s why I sat this one out. But 57 fighters signed up for this Gilbert’s fight was probably the best fight of Thursday evening. From the opening bell the 232- pound Gilbert and Mike Barrett, a 240-pound junior representing the Rodeo Club, pounded on each other’s head and body. Blood started to flow in the first round and when the final bell had sounded, the judges awarded the decision to Gil bert. The fight was so close that the judges called the first and third rounds completely even, but awarded the second and decisive round to Gilbert. The judges did a good job throughout the two night event. Stepping in to call this year’s fights were Wally Groff, assistant athletic director for business affairs here at Texas A&M, Don Blister, executive TOKYO STOK KOUSC AGGIE SPECIAL $260 DINNER Includes: Sweet and Sour Chicken Egg Roll Fried Won Ton Chop Suey Fried Rice Fortune Cookies Specials good for students Tues., Wed., Thurs. & Sun.
