Last year during the Southwesl
Conference Indoor Champion
ships, Texas A&M high jumper
Jimmy Howard was a spectator,
After finishing second in 1979’s
meet and drawing the attention of
fans and coaches alike. Howard
tore up his ankle in the fall of tk
year and was forced to sit by ask
teammates captured the 1980In
door title for the first time in the
history of the school.
Despite the severely torn liga
ments, Howard prepared himsdl
mentally for a comeback while he
mended, and by the time spring
rolled around, he was backonthe
track.
In May last year, his efforts at
the SWC Outdoor Champion
ships in Waco were instrumental
as the Aggies took that title also,
Howard won the high jump.
In June, he finished third at (lie
U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene,!
Ore. to qualify for the Olympi
squad. He’s never looked bad
After a tour of Europe duringtk
summer and a slight revampingol
his jumping style with the helpof
Head Texas A&M Coach Charlie
Thomas this spring, the sani
haired athlete has become tie
premier high jumper in the Soutk-

Last Friday night in Fort
Worth, Howard made up for mis

BATON ROUGE, La. — Texas A&M stopped Louisiana State’s
leading scorer, Durand “Rudy” Macklin, but it didn’t slow the South
eastern Conference champion Tigers from dominating the Aggies and
inheriting the title to the longest win streak in the nation.
The fourth-ranked Tigers, now 26-1, hit a torrid 64 percent from the
field in the first half Sunday, romping to an easy 67-57 non-conference
win behind sophomore Howard Carter's game high 21 points.
“Our players were psyched up this afternoon. I thought our game
controlled the tempo,” said LSU coach Dale Brown, whose team
clinched the Southest Conference championship Saturday on a pair of
last-second free throws in a 66-65 win over Tennessee.
The win, coupled with Notre Dame’s 57-56 win snapping Virginia’s
28-game streak Sunday, gives LSU claim to the country’s longest win
string. The Tigers also are unbeaten in 16 SEC matches.
“Our defense at times was fantastic,” Brown said. “It may have been
our best defensive effort of the year.
“They were really tough on Macklin (four points),” he added. “At
times, they wer.e double and triple-teaming him but he didn’t pout
because he wasn’t getting his average. We sacrificed him. He gave up a
lot this afternoon to play his role.”
