Ag track team runs second

The Texas A&M University men’s
track team finished second, just
points behind the University of Tex
as, in the City of the Palms Invita
tional track and field meet in McAl
len Saturday.
The Aggies performed well, said
coach Charlie Thomas, but little
things kept them from winning. Top
sprinter Curtis Dickey was in Col
lege Station attending the annual
football banquet and didn’t partici
pate in his specialties — the 100-
meter sprint and the 400-meter re
lay, and a strong wind kept NCAA
indoor pole vault champion Randy
Hall from even placing in that event
at this meet.
The Aggies captured the rest of
the field events. Tim Scott set a meet
record in winning the discus (196-6),
and Sam Wilson also set a record in
the long jump (24-4V2). Other victo
rious Aggies were Chuck Perry in
the high jump and Mike Newsom in
the javelin.
In the running events, Texas
A&M’s Leslie Kerr set a meet record
in the 400-meter dash.
Thomas rested some key athletes
to avoid injuring them. “What we re
trying to do is not get anyone hurt, ’
he said.
Don’t look now, Aggie baseball
fans, but the Freshman Wonders
have struck again.
Rick Luecken and Robert Slavens
both picked up their sixth wins
Saturday in leading Texas A&M Uni
versity to a 3-0, 5-4 sweep of the
Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Luecken and Slavens, both 6-0
and leading the Southwest Confer
ence in wins, had to struggle to win
their respective ballgames. But
timely Aggie hitting and superlative
defensive plays were the deciding
factors.
The Aggies also knocked off the
Red Raiders Friday, 10-7, to stay lYa
games behind the Texas Longhorns.
The Aggies are now 22-4 on the sea
son with a 9-3 SWC record. Texas is
27-2 on the season and 9-0 in the
conference.
In the first game of Saturday’s dou
ble-header, the Aggie bats were
stifled until Harry Francis knocked a
triple off the center field wall in the
fourth inning of the seven-inning
game. He was stranded, but it was an
omen of things to come.
In the fifth, Doug Teague slam
med a double off of Tech starter
Steve Ibarquen (2-4) and Joe Paul
Bramhall followed with an infield
single to move Teague to third.
Bramhall stole second, and Randy
Woodruff slapped a single to left to
score both players. Simon Glenn
rapped a double, moving Woodruff
to third. Francis then plated the
third run with a sacrifice fly.
Meanwhile, Luecken was effec
tively slipping his way out of several
jams, backed up by five double
plays. The Woodruff-Twig Little
double play combination drew the
most applause from the approxi
mately 1000 fans attending the
games.
The most spectacular play of the
game came in the top of the third
inning, when Woodruff got off an
accurate throw to complete a double
play despite being off-balance,
avoiding a hard slide by a Tech
player.
The nine-inning second game,
played under occasionally very win
dy conditions and cloudy skies, pro
duced a bit more action.
The Aggies pounded Tech starter
Terry Willis, 2-2, for three runs on
four hits in the first inning on a single
by Little, an RBI single by Francis, a
double by Hodde and a single by
Mike Hurdle.
Slavens had a little trouble with
his control, issuing three walks in
eight innings, and allowing 10 hits.
He gave up all four of the Red Raid
ers’ runs, but held Tech at bay most
of the time. He was replaced in the
eighth by Perry Kilgo, who promptly
gave up two hits. Bobby Taylor then
came in to preserve the victory for
Slavens.
The Aggies hitting display was
highlighted by Hodde’s fifth-inning
home run over the centerfield fence,
his ninth of the year. The homer
turned out to be the winning run.
Between the two games, Texas
A&M baseball coach Tom Chandler
was given an award recognizing his
500th career victory, which came
March 2 against Baylor.
Washington Redskins football
coach Jack Pardee was also recog
nized between games. Pardee was in
town to speak at the Texas A&M foot
ball banquet Saurday night.
