AUSTIN — Fred Couples shot a
final-round 4-under-par 68 Sunday
to lead the Houston Cougars to the
team championship in the 14th Mir-
ris Williams Intercollegiate Golf
Tournament.
Houston’s team total for the three-
day, 54-hole tourney was a 2-over-
par 866.
Houston entered the final round
with a one-shot edge over defending
champion Oklahoma State, but held
off the Cowboys all afternoon.
Oklahoma State finished second at
872, passing up Oral Roberts, which
came in third at 878 behind Joe Bas
sett’s finalround 66.
Two Ag
fullbacks
injured
United Press International
Second team fullback Ronnie
James and third stringer Roger
Wiley both went down with injuries
Saturday in Texas A&M’s football
scrimmage.
James broke a bone in his left leg
and dislocated his left ankle. Wiley
damaged ligaments in his right knee
and likely will have to undergo
surgery.
“It was an expensive day,” said
coach Tom Wilson. “We went from a
position where we had depth and
finality down to one player and this
was just the first week of spring prac
tice. ”
The only healthy fullback remain
ing on the Aggies is starter David
Hill.
The standout of the scrimmage
was quarterback Mike Mosley, who
ran for 49 yards and completed 15
passes for 163 yards and two touch
downs.
Couples ended the day in fifth
place at even-par and two shots be
hind Rod Nuckolls of Wichita State,
Cougar teammate Terry Snodgrass,
and Texas A&M’s David Ogrin.
Nuckolls and Snodgrass faded on
the final 18 holes and Couples’ 68
was enough to overtake Ogrin. Cou
ples, the low amateur at last year’s
U.S. Open, won the individual title
with a 4-under 212; Ogrin closed
with a 71 and was runnerup at 213.
Walker Cup holder Hal Sutton of
Centenary was another shot back at
214.
The win by Houston broke Okla
homa State’s hold on the tourney.
The Cowboys had won the past two
Morris Williams titles and had cap
tured three of the last four. Houston
had taken it 1977.

It’s hard to explain,” Thomas
err, who won the Southwest
Conference 400-meter event last
May, set a meet record in the 400-
meter race when he finished in
45.98, beating the record in 46.6.
Dickey, three-time NCAA indoor
60-yard dash champion, won the
special invitational 100-meter in 10.1
seconds in spite of 20 mph winds.
Dickey, winning his first 100-meter
dash all season, streaked by Jerome
Deal and Harvey Glance, both for
mer NCAA sprint champions.
While Dickey and Kerr have been
winning all season long, Thomas said
two Aggies were pleasant surprise
winners. Freshman Mike Glaspie
won the 110-meter high hurdles
(13.95), and junior Billy Busch won
the 400-meter hurdles in 51.81.
The Aggie relay teams, who have
had an outstanding season so far,
again topped their competitors. The
Texas A&M team of sophomore
Steve Willis, junior Vernon Pittman,
Kerr and Dickey won the 440-meter
with a time of 40.29. The mile relay
team — Willis, Pittman, Kerr and
freshman James Washington — ran
in 3:11.24 to capture that event.
The Aggies didn’t do too shabbily
, in the field events either. Chuck
Perry won the high jump with a 7-0.
Texas A&M finished second in three
events — senior Mike Newsom in
the javelin (221-2), and senior Tim
Scott in the shot put (62-0) and the
discus.
The meet was a good warm-up for
the prestigious Texas Relays Friday
and Saturday in Austin’s Memorial
Stadium. However, the Aggies will
face stiffer competition since many of
the outstanding teams in the region
were attending the Louisana State
Meet last weekend.
“The Texas Relays will be
tougher,” Thomas said of the meet in
which about 200 schools will com
pete. “The competition is the best
we ll face until the NCAA meet. ”
The NCAA outdoor champion
ships will also be held at Memorial
Stadium in early June.
The Aggies will be in good shape
for the Austin meet — the one excep
tion being senior runner Philip
Steen who pulled a leg muscle and
will be out for two to three weeks.
