Aggies beat
Rice in meet
By KATHLEEN McELROY
Sports Staff
The Texas A&M track team —
competing in its first outdoor meet of
the season — Saturday beat Rice
University 83-53 on Kinkaid School’s
all-weather track in Houston.
Tim Scott led an incomplete Aggie
team with victories in both the shot
put (64-9 Vst) and the discus (191-5).
The only other person in the meet to
win two events was Rice sprinter
Darrell Mouton, who captured the
100- and 200-meter races.
Coach Charlie Thomas didn’t use
sprinter Curtis Dickey and pole
vaulter Randy Hall in the meet as
well as some of his long jumpers,
who, like Hall, are resting after com
peting on a hard surface in the South
west Conference Indoor Champion
ships.
Dickey was resting a sore ham
string muscle. He also won’t com
pete in the next meet for the Aggies,
the Border Olympics. Instead, Dick
ey will go to New York for the Na
tional AAU Indoor Championship.
While in New York City, he will
undergo some physical tests for pro
football’s New York Jets.
This was the first event for Texas
A&M since it won the SWC Indoor
two weeks ago in Fort Worth, and
Thomas obviously was satisfied with
the results.
“We felt everyone had a real good
performance,” he said, noting many
of those who did compete were still
physically and emotionally drained
from the SWC meet.
Versatile runner Leslie Kerr only
ran in two races — both relays — but
the Aggies won them both.
Hall, the SWC indoor pole vault
champion, and Dickey were missed
in their events as Rice captured the
pole vaults and the sprints, but Texas
A&M outplayed the Owls in the
overall competition.
The upcoming Border Olympics is
an important meet for the Aggies be
cause nine teams — including seven
from the Southwest Conference —
will compete in the event, which
starts March 1 in Laredo.
Women’s track team beats LSU
By CAROL HANCOCK
City Staff
The Texas A&M women’s track
team took first place in the
Louisiana State invitational meet
and qualified five more runners
for the Association of Intercollegi
ate Athletics for Women national
meet at the same time.
Five first places added to the
team’s total of 79 points, which
topped 12 other teams.
Lori Scott, a second-year
veteran of the team, ran her best
in the two-mile and took first with
a time of 10:36:31. Scott’s school
indoor record-setting time qual
ified her for the AIAW indoor
meet in two weeks.
Distance runner Sandra Brown
brought in another first with her
time of 4:55:31 in the mile.
Firsts in field events came from
Iris Tipton and Jan Chesbro. Tip
ton’s throw of 44-8 % won the shot
put and Chesbro’s jump of 5-6
captured the high jump.
The distance medley relay
team, Karyn Wooten, Julie
White, Brown and Scott, brought
in an additional 20 points with its
first. A time of 11:59.58 qualified
the relay team for the national
meet and set a another school re
cord.
Sandy Lambert took second in
the pentalathon with 3,697
points, bringing the number of
school records broken to three.
Ellen Smith was third in the 600
yard dash.
The win was not unexpected
but it was not what the team was
concentrating on, said Coach Bill
Nix.
“Our basic intention was to
qualify more people for the na
tional meet,” he said.
The women go to the Universi
ty of Texas this weekend for an
outdoor meet; then nine runners
will go on to the AIAW national
indoor meet in two weeks.

DULE SWC TOURNAMENT
By RICHARD OLIVER
Staff Writer
Rick Luecken pitched 4% innings
of no-hit ball and Randy Woodruff
knocked in two runs to lead Texas
A&M University to an 8-2 victory
over the Northeast Louisiana Indi
ans in the nightcap of a doubleheader
Saturday.
The Aggies won the first game,
8-3.
The highlight of the second game
was provided when Woodruff, bat
ting ninth in the lineup, scored Mike
Hurdle from third base on a suicide
squeeze. Woodruff also singled in a
run in the second.
Luecken, 2-0, a freshman who also
pitched five innings of no-hit ball in
his first college start ever against St.
Mary’s Thursday, was not hit until
Northeast Louisiana’s Mark Maran-
gon slapped a single up the middle in
the fifth inning.
In the first game, sophomore
right-hander Bobby Taylor, 1-0,
overcame a rocky first inning to win
his first game of the year, and fresh
man first baseman David Flores
knocked in two runs to pace the
Aggie victory.
The Aggies, falling behind 3-0 in
the first inning, struck back with two
runs in their half of the first and four
runs in a big second inning. The
Aggies plated two in the fifth to
round out the scoring.
The Indians were paced by second
baseman Lee Prejean, who reached
base four of the five times he batted
in the doubleheader, three on walks
and one on a fielder’s choice.
The Aggie pitchers shut down the
Indians’ bats throughout the after
noon, allowing only four hits in the
first game and three in the second.
The second game also saw the
Aggies pull off four double plays,
along with a sparkling defensive
effort by shortstop Bryan “Twig” Lit
tle, who began two double plays with
backhand stabs roving to his right.
