Foyt wins Coors 200
By DAVID BOGGAN
Battalion Sports Editor
President Carter’s energy mes
sage be damned, A. J. Foyt and Gary
Bettenhausen were out to have a
good, high-speed time Sunday af
ternoon at the second running of the
Coors 200.
The cat-and-mouse antics of Foyt
and Bettenhausen were the main at
traction of the Texas World Speed
way event, which lasted slightly
over W2 hours. When the chec
kered flag was dropped, Foyt had
won his fourth race at the speedway.
The Houston native, who led in
the race six times, was in command
of the final six laps. But he was con
tinually harassed by Bettenhausen,
who held the lead four times in the
100-lap race. As Foyt came off of
turn four and down the stretch in
the final lap, Bettenhausen gave one
last challenge. The two Indy cars,
Foyt’s Gilmore Racing Coyote and
Bettenhausen’s Armstrong Mould
Bignotti, sailed toward the finish
line side by side and Foyt took the
checkered flag . 03 of a second ahead
of his pursuer.
“I was having problems the last
five or six laps of the race,” Foyt
A. J.
Foyt
said. “I thought I had a slow leak in
the right rear tire because I’ve had
cuts in the tires before on this track.
“I couldn’t make up my mind

the ‘FLYING DUTCHMAN’
will bring
the ‘WINDS of CHANGE’
whether to go into pit and check it
since Bettenhausen was so close,
and when it got down to last four
laps I decided to go for it. If I
crashed, I crashed.
“I went to the pit four times but I
only had to change the tires once.”
Bettenhausen led in laps 91-93
before Foyt took over for the final
time.
“Somebody asked me if I was
playing with Gary out there,” Foyt
remarked. “Well, I wish your butt
would have been in that driver’s
seat with me if you thought I was
playing. He was running strong all
day.”
Much of the race was run under
yellow flags, slowing the lap average
to 129.54 mph.
The cars were bunched under a
yellow flag until the last six laps
when Foyt and Bettenhausen again
left the pack to make it a two-man
duel.
“Yellows usually work against you
but this one gave me the benefit of
the doubt and helped me gamble on
fuel,” Foyt said. “If the yellow
hadn’t come out I might not have
made it because I was running low.”
The lead changed 11 times in the
race. Of the 16 cars to start only 10
finished.
The Coors victory was the fourth
major race in a row won by Foyt and
it was his fourth consecutive first-
place finish at the Texas World
Speedway.
The third place finisher was Larry
Dickson, two laps behind the lead
ers when the checkered flag came
out. Bettenhausen’s brother, Tony,
finished the race in ninth place.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The
TCU Horned Frogs made Texas
A&M’s bid for a third consecutive
Southwest Conference baseball
championship almost impossible as
the Frogs won one game of last
weekend’s three-game series. The
Aggies, now 7-4 in conference, had
hoped to sweep the series and stay
in the running for the SWC crown.
In Friday’s game, Mark Ross scat
tered eight hits and Texas A&M
supported him with a 13-hit attack
to boost the Aggies to an 8-4 South
west Conference victory over TCU.
The game was tied 3-3 after six
innings but the Aggies broke loose
for eight hits in the final three in
nings.
Ross, 5-3, struck out nine and
walked only one.
The Aggies opened the scoring
with two unearned runs in the
fourth inning but TCU countered in
the fifth with four straight singles by

All For Fun
The Women’s Play Day was one
of the best displays of enthusiasm
and sportsmanship in the 1978-
1979 school year. Seven women’s
units competed in a wide variety of
events, from softball and jogging
to water-ballpons and pillow races.
There was even an obstacle
course complete with jumping
rope, hopping in sacks and pop
ping balloons. Quite a day in every
way.
The event was such a success
that it will become an annual event
occurring in the fall and perhaps
enlarged to serve more women
with plain old fashion fun.
And I would like to thank all the
women who participated and the
dorm and unit directors who made
the 1st Annual Women’s Playday
super. (In alphabetical order listed

office to pick up his “Be Our Guest” card,
redeemable for free food at McDonalds.
Well, that twisted mind is at it again. What can we say? He swears
he’s got them right this time. So here they are, the softball picks of
