Despite a tremendous showing in
Friday s preliminaries by the de
fending champion University of
Texas Longhorns, the Texas A&M
University track team swarmed past
the leaders to handily win the South
west Conference outdoor track
championships in Waco Saturday.
The heavily-favored Aggies, who
were a distant third after Friday’s
qualifying events, rode the massive
arms of weightman Tim Scott to rack
up 138 points, 31 points ahead of the
University of Houston’s 107. Hous
ton surprisingly slipped past favored
Texas for the second spot. Texas
finished with 105 points.
Scott, 6-2, 255, was the first dou
ble winner of the meet, winning the
discus with a toss of 197-7, and the
shot put with a throw of 64-4. His
victories marked the first time in 13
years an Aggie has won both weight
categories. Randy Matson won both
in 1967.
Scott beat last year’s double win
ner, Oskar Jakobsson of Texas, and
upset SMU freshman sensation
Michael Carter in the shot put, who
finished third. Carter is the high
school world record holder in the
event.
The Ags won six events, and three
of the victories set SWC records.
Randy Hall vaulted a record 17
feet to win the pole vault, and Jimmy
Howard jumped a record 7 feet, 3!4
inches to win the high jump.
Leslie Kerr streaked to a 45.56
time in the 400-meters, breaking his
own SWC record.
Texas had finished Friday’s pre
liminaries with 14 qualifiers, but the
superior depth of the Aggie team
combined with some disappointing
performances by Longhorn tracks-
ters allowed Texas A&M and Hous
ton to pass them up.
The biggest upset was the Lon
ghorns’ fifth place finish in the sprint
relay, and a very surprising fourth in
the mile run. To add to their misery,
Texas star sprinter Fred Alcorn was
forced to drop out of Friday’s com
petition with a muscle cramp.
The Aggies also lost a dependable
sprinter, however, when Steve Wil
lis pulled a muscle in the 200-
meters.
Aggie hurdler Billy Busch had an
impressive day Saturday, winning
the high hurdles and finishing
second in the 400-meter hurdles.
Mike Glaspie finished second in the
high hurdles to add more points to
the Aggies’ total.
Despite a spirited 45.5 anchor leg
by Kerr, the Aggies’ injury-riddled
1,600-meter relay squad couldn’t fin
ish any higher than third behind
Arkansas and Baylor.
Curtis Dickey, suffering from a
sore hamstring injury and exhaustion
after a grueling week at the Balti
more Colts’ rookie training camp,
was defeated handily in the 100-
meter dash and the 400-meter relay
by the meet’s most valuable perfor
mer, Carl Lewis of Houston.
Dickey, who was selected in the
first round of the National Football
League’s college draft by the Colts
earlier this month, finished third in
the 100-meters at 10.33 behind
Lewis (10.24) and Houston’s Greg
Illorson (10.27).
In the 400-meter relay, Lewis pas
sed up Dickey on the anchor leg to
lead Houston to victory over Texas
A&M.
Dickey will compete in the NCAA
outdoor championships in Austin the
first week in June.
Johnny Hector, third in the long
jump with a leap of 25-0^4; Chuck
Perry, third in the high jump at 7-0;
and Jerry Strong, second in the pole
vault with a vault of 16-6, rounded
out the Aggie high finishers.
Arkansas finished fourth in the
meet with 82 points, riding a record-
shattering 1,600-meter relay per
formance of 3:05.02; followed by
Baylor with 61; SMU with 49; Texas
Tech with 21; Rice with 15; and TCU
with 10.

Houston took a 2-0 lead in the
second inning on a solo homer by
Alan Ashby, his second, and a bases-
loaded walk to Joe Morgan.
Mets manager Joe Torre was
thrown out of the game by second
base umpire Dave Pallone for
arguing the out call on Maddox in the
fifth. Torre had to be restrained by
third base umpire Ed Vargo when he
continued to scream at Pallone after
his ejection.
The Astros, who are currently tied
with the Cincinnati Reds for second
place, IV2 games behind the Los
Angeles Dodgers in the National
League West, have lost five of their
last seven games.

Think of a ship as a corpora
tion, and it’s not farfetched at
all. A destroyer may have
fifteen officers, other ships
even fewer. Even the most
junior officer gets to share in
running the show.
You become part of the
management team when you
get your commission as an
ensign after just 16 weeks of
leadership training at Officer
Candidate School.
Choose to be a Navy officer
and you are responsible for
people and equipment almost
immediately.
Many officers go on for
further advanced schooling.
The Navy has literally dozens
of fields for its officers—
everything from nuclear pro
pulsion to systems analysis,
oceanography to inventory
management. In graduate
school, this training would
cost you thousands, but in
the Navy, we pay you.
Ask your Navy representa
tive about officer opportuni
ties, or mail this coupon for
more information. Or call
toll-free 800-841-8000 (in GA
call toll-free 800-342-5855).
There’s no obligation, and
you’ll learn about an excellent
way to start a career in
management. As a college
graduate you can get manage
ment experience in any indus
try. But you’ll get it sooner—
and more of it—in the Navy.
