Women’s track team
competing in Denton
By JON HEIDKE
Sports Staff
The Texas A&M Univ ersity
women’s track team travels to De
nton to participate in the Texas
Woman’s Univerisity Invitational
track meet today and Saturday.
The meet, one of the strongest of
the young outdoor season, will fea
ture the University of Texas-El Paso,
the Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women. The Universi
ty ofTexas and TWU, both ranked in
the top 10, will also be there.
Head coach Bill Nix’s Aggie
Ladies will also take a shot at the
team title. The Aggies are particular
ly strong in the field events and long
distances. Shot putter Iris Tipton
and high jumper Jan Chesbro were
both first place winners at last week’s
Texas Southern Univerisity Relays,
and they will anchor the field events.
The Aggies are likely to score
points in the long distances, espe
cially in the 1,500-, 3,000- and 5,000-
meters. Sandra Brown set a new
school record in the 3,000-meter
race with a time of 9:58.3 even
though it was the first time she had
ever run that distance in competi
tion. Lorie Scott and Barbara Col-
linsworth are both entered in the
3,000 and 5,000 meters, and both
should be high finishers.
Nix was pleased with last week’s
performances in the TSU Relays, but
did say work was needed with the
sprinters.
“With more work the times will
start coming down,’’ said Nix, “and
we will be more competitive in that
area.” Ellen and Evelyn Smith,
along with Paula Lake, are the
Aggies’ top sprinters.
The Aggies will take 20 women to
Denton this weekend, but will be
without the services of Early Doug
las. Douglas, who throws the shot
put and discus, injured her throwing
arm three weeks ago. She will sit out
this week in the hopes of being at full
strengh at next week’s Texas Relays
in Austin. Nix said that the loss of
Douglas would probably cost the
Aggies about five points in the race
for the team championship.

Aggies hit road
to play Hogs
By MIKE BURRICHTER
Sports Editor
In what coach Tom Chandler calls
his team’s biggest test in the young
baseball season, the Texas A&M
University baseball team will travel
to Arkansas this weekend for a three-
game series against the Razorbacks
in Fayetteville.
The upstart Aggies, considered by
Chandler to be in a rebuilding sea
son, will enter the series with a 22-4
overall record, which includes a 9-3
mark in Southwest Conference play.
This puts them a game and a half
behind the 9-0 University of Texas
Longhorns. The Aggies made their
first conference sweep of the season
last weekend against the Texas Tech
Red Raiders.
While the Aggies have been a
pleasant surprise, the Razorbacks
have started slowly, and are still
looking for a conference series
sweep. Arkansas, which played in
the College World Series finals last
year, is 24-11 overall and 5-4 in SWC
play, good for third place.
The Razorbacks are still looking
for a third starting pitcher to join
Steve Krueger and Scott Tabor in
their rotation. Krueger, a senior left
hander, has a 6-0 record so far, and
Tabor is 4-2.
Krueger was last season’s new
comer of the year in the SWC.
Arkansas is not sure who will start in
the third game.
Chandler said he thinks Arkansas,
which was on a 12-game winning
streak until defeated by the Univer
sity of Houston Saturday, is one of
the teams to beat in the SWC.
He said he plans to start three
freshmen pitchers this weekend,
with either David Flores or Jack Mis-
ka in the opener, followed by Robert
Slavens and Rick Luecken. Both
Slavens and Luecken have been no
thing less than sensational so far,
each sporting 6-0 season records.

NORMAN, Okla. —Junior right
hander David Brooks threw a two-
hitter for his second shutout of the
year in Oklahoma’s 3-0 win against
Texas Wesleyan in the first half of a
scheduled double-header Thursday.
The win was the 599th career vic
tory for coach Enos Semore, who was
denied a chance to gain No. 600 the
same day because rain forced cancel
lation of the second game.
Sooner hatting ace Frank Merez
hit his sixth home run of the season to
lead off the fifth inning and open the
Sooner scoring. Merez doubled in
the sixth and scored on a single by
Bryan Stafford.
