just don’t think I’ve reached my po
tential yet.”
Scott is not the only member of
the Aggie track team who has not
reached his potential. Freshman
high jumper Jim Howard is soaring
to great heights and the season is
only a few weeks old.
“Jimmy is jumping great right
now,” said coach Ted Nelson. “He
Tim
Scott
did a great job winning the high
jump in Laredo because he was
jumping right into a pretty stiff
wind. He almost made 7-3 but the
wind was just too strong. ”
Howard has also had an outstand
ing indoor season clearing seven
feet in almost every meet and set
ting meet records everywhere. He
continued his record setting ways by
breaking the 12-year-old Border
Olympics’ record of seven-feet-one-
inch with a jump of seven-one-
and-a-half.
While Howard jumped into the
wind, Dickey ran like the wind car
rying his 204-pound frame to victory
in the 100-yard dash finishing way
ahead of second place Carlton Der-
rett with a time of 9.5. Dickey also
brought the Aggies out of the pack
in the 440-yard relay to cruise past
the field and win that event.
Dickey didn’t run like he weighed
212 pounds (according to what some
Texas newpapers reported his
weight as being) because he does
not weigh 212 pounds.
“Curtis Dickey weighs 204-and-
a-half pounds,” assured A&M
trainer Billy Pickard. “I weighed
him today with nothing on and he
weighed a half pound more than he
did in August.”
Dickey, Scott and Howard are not
the only Aggies who have done well
in the still young track and field sea
son. Randy Hall vaulted his way to
the NCAA Indoor Track and Field
championship along with Dickey,
Scott and Howard. The Aggie pole
vaulters gave the Aggies the final
points needed to win the meet by
placing first, second and fourth.
Hall won clearing 16 feet while Pat
Ruehle tied for second at 15-6 and
Mike Mullins was fourth at 15 feet.
The defending SWC champions
will be in Fort Worth to run in the
Fort Worth Recreations and Parks
meet. The team will be without
Dickey, Scott, Hall and Howard
who will be in Detroit at the NCAA
Indoor meet.
