By ANGELIQUE COPELAND
Campus Staff
It was a great day for racing Sun
day with the first running of the Lit
tle Aggieland bicycle races, an event
sponsors hope will become a yearly
tradition at Texas A&M University.
Judging from the enthusiastic re
sponse from both the crowd and the
participants, the tradition is off to a
great start.

Fifteen teams turned out for the
men’s team race, the feature race of
the afternoon.
The event, sponsored by the A&M
Cycling Team and Baskin Robins Ice
Cream Parlors, was patterned after
the Little Indy, a yearly race held at
the University of Indiana that has
gained national fame since being fea
tured in the movie “Breaking Away. ”
Each three-man team went 24
laps, approximately 10 miles, around
the drill field in front of Puryear and
Law halls.
Other events held were the
women’s team race, men’s and
women’s individual races and an
A&M Cycling Team race.
Each team was allowed to use only
one bike, and “pit” areas were
arranged where the teams made the
switches.
Switching bikes made the race a
stategic competition with teams los
ing and gaining ground as they strug
gled to exchange the bike quickly.
The end ot a great day of competi
tion was marred slightly as a con
troversy over first place in the men’s
team race developed. Alter some de
bate between members of the two
teams, the score cards were re
figured and and the victory was given
to the “Down Unders.’’
The team walked away with a tro
phy and the first prize of a 16-gallon
keg of beer.
Scott Dethloff, Diego Restrepo
and Robert Coreale met at the race
and organized the winning team only
minutes before the start.
Coreale, a sophomore finance ma
jor; said he had been on his way to
the library when he stopped to watch
some of the other events.
Two of the men said they had no
previous racing experience but Res
trepo said he raced about eight years
ago in Venezuela.
Second place in the event went to
the team of Vince Tavarez, Jim Orr,
and Deven Anthony with Fred Clos-
mann, Jim Clossmann and Doug
Williams finishing third.
First place the women’s team race
went to the Basement J’s, made up of
Shirley Hill, Lori Foreman and Tam
my Grafton. The women’s team also
won a trophy and keg of beer.
Hill took second place in the 5-
mile women’s individual event held
immediately before the team race
and went on to ride a strong six-lap
leg for her team.
Second place went to the Cutters
— Debbie Dominey, Leigh Starlan
and Sarah Bateman with third going
to the Battalion Beauties — Rhonda
Watters, Diane Blake and Carol
Thomas.
First place in the women’s indi
vidual was taken by Laura Baker
with Jill Cooper taking third.
Terrence Spencer, a sophomore
management major, took first in the
men’s individual competition. This
was his first race, but Spencer said he
is now considering racing more in
the future. Spencer had also entered
in the team race, but didn’t have a
chance to perform when one of his
teammates went down in the early
laps of the race.
Cruz homers in ninth;
Astros beat Twins 3-2
ORLANDO, Fla. — Jose Cruz
belted a home run to lead off the
ninth inning Sunday to give Houston
a 3-2 exhibition baseball victory over
Minnesota.
Cruz’s homer came off reliever
Doug Corbett, who gave up just his
second run of the spring in 15 in
nings. Astro relief ace Joe Sambito
stopped a Minnesota rally in the bot
tom of the ninth, retiring the final
two batters after two hitters had
singled.
An error by Twins starting pitcher
Jerry Koosman scored Joe Morgan in
the second inning and Alan Knicely
singled home Jeff Leonard in that
same inning.
Astro pitchers Bobby Sprowl and
Dave Smith limited Minnesota to
one hit through six innings but sing
les by Roy Smalley, Pete Mackanin,
John Castino and Bobby Randall
added two runs off Sambito in the
seventh.
