In spite of blustery winds and lowers during the finals, even meet records were apled, as well as a national llegiate record. Einar Vilhjalmsson, the Uni- rsity of Texas’ Swedish mi ni, set a new national colle- nd. He said dupe standard in the javelin iday with a throw of 303-1. tatmark is also the best in the so far this year. Other meet records which the collegiate division Jre: the 800-meter relay, won Arizona with a time of 1:21.1; the 110-meter hurdles, with Houston’s Cletus Clark bettering his own record in 13.54; and the 1500-meter run, won by Oklahoma State’s Paul Larkins in 3:41.15. Texas A&M’s Andy Elliott, who placed second in that race with a per sonal best of 3:46.16, also crossed the finish line ahead of the old record. But the biggest show stopper of the day Saturday was not an NCAA superstar, but a group of high school teammates from Dallas Roosevelt. Led by Senior anchorman Roy Martin, Roose velt’s 400 and 1600-meter relay teams set two meet records in the high school division and be came the first high school team in the meed’s history to be named the outstanding men’s team. /IQ The witho s Aggi ut th< ics, still competing icir two premier sprinters, recorded a number of season bests Friday and Satur day. Craig Moody, who placed fourth in the 400-meter inter mediate hurdles, clocked 50.52 and Chappelle Henderson took second in the invitational divi- son of the same event with a time 50.66. The 1600-meter re lay team of Tony Tolson, Ken- dric Wesley, Clif Chatham, and Henderson ran a seaon best of 3:06.84. In the field events, Ethan Glass tied three ways for third place with a jump of 7-3 1/2. However, places one through six all went out at the same heigth and final placings had to be determined by number of at tempts. Juan de la Garza placed fifth in the javelin with a throw of 252-7 and long jumper Kurt Thome had a season best jump of 23-7. e$ rvstros, Rangers lose again; }jta|Thon hit in eye by bad pitch ;ss Internatiow j United Press International Calif.-a lets3,Astros 1 the quadrf an unsucces Brooks drilled a one- o starve to ill it seventh inning single to ’scare,hasfi lock in Darryl Strawberry tal where slit 1 (h the go-ahead run and prevent hen ree pitchers combined on an said Sunday. >ht-hitter Sunday night to 3, left Riven id the New York Mets to a 3-1 eral Hospiul :tory over the Houston As- Saturday, a os. aan said.

By beating No.l Cal. State-Fullerton 4-0 Sunday afternoon, the Aggies got revenge for the 3-1 loss to the Titans Thursday. That was the battle. The war the Aggies lost was their own invitational tourna ment. A&M suffered upset losses to Sam Houston Stale and Texas Tech to finish third behind Fullerton and Tech. But for coach Bob Brock and his team, this time it was the bat tle — not the war —- that was important. “Beating Cal. State-Fullerton was better than winning or los ing the tournament,” Brock said. “Now it doesn’t really matter what happened in the rest of the games.” • Besides just beating the No.l team, it was important that Yvette Lopez was the winning pitcher. Lopez, who has been struggling with inconsistency all season, allowed four hits and two walks and struck out two against the heavy hitting Titans. In Fri day’s loss to Sam Houston, Lopez was wild, hitting two batters. “She pitched a fine, fine game,” Brock said. “Physchologically, it was very important for her.” The Aggies broke a Scoreless game wide open in the fifth in ning, scoring four runs. Ann Hadley and Gaye McNutt each had RBI singles and Josie Carter had two RBI’s. Carter hit a bases loaded grounder to second base and Cindy Cooper runing from first, beat the fielder’s choice throw to second which allowed the two runs to score. Earlier in the day, the Aggies also had a major battle against No. 9 ranked Louisiana Tech, which they won, 3-1. The A&M bats exploded for 11 hits, while pticher Shawn Andaya threw a three-hitter. Saturday against McNeese State, Andaya pitched her fifth no-hitter of the year, winning 5-0. The three-day tournament held at Travis Park in Bryan fea tured seven teams: Fullerton, Tech, Louisiana Tech, McNeese State, Sam Houston, Baylor and A&M. The Aggies season record now stands at 32-8. They travel to Baylor Tuesday for a doubleheader. Photo by DEANSAITO Texas A&M’s Rose Ruffino slides into home ahead of the tag of Cal-State Fullerton’s Mel ody Richards.

Photos by CINDY PRICE Baseball team wins one of three Ags hold onto first in SWC By TRAVIS TINGLE Sports Writer The Texas A&M baseball team is still tied for first place in the Southwest Conference standings even though they lost two of three games against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayet teville this weekend. A&M and Texas both have 7- 2 records in SWC play. A&M’s overall record stands at 30-8, while Arkansas boasts a 28-8 mark, 7-5 in the SWC. The first loss snapped a 16-game winning streak for the Aggies. It tied the Aggies’ longest win ning streak, set in 1976. Rice and Arkansas are tied for third in the conference, while Texas Tech and Baylor are battling for fifth at 6-6. TCU is seventh at 4-8 and Houston continues to dwell in the cellar with a 1-11 mark. Friday, Mike Scanlin and Rob Swain hit home runs in a six- run eighth inning that pro pelled Texas A&M to a 10-8 vic tory over Arkansas. With Arkansas leading 7-5, Scanlin drove in three runs with a shot over the wall off Arkan sas reliever John Miller. Steve Johnigan also drove in a run for the Aggies with a single. Rob Swain’s two-run homer came off of Miller’s reliever, Dera Clark. Arkansas’ Norm Roberts opened the bottom of the ninth with a solo homer, but Rock King retired the Hogs after that to pick up his fourth save. Scanlin, Swain and Tony Me- toyer had three hits each for the Ags. Both teams combined for 25 hits during the course of the game. John Miller took the loss for Arkansas, while A&M’s Phillip Taylor pitched 6 1/3 innings to boost his record to 3-1. The 10-8 victory was just an other example of the Aggies ability to comeback in the clutch, but Coach Chandler said it best after the Houston series a week ago. ' ( “All out hustle is the best characteristic of this ballclub,” Chandler said. Saturday, Arkansas pitchers Rudy Garcia and Kevin Camp bell allowed A&M just five hits the entire day to pace the Ra zorbacks to 1-0 and 4-0 victo ries. Arkansas’ two wins marked the first time since 1975 that the Aggies had been held scoreless in a doubleheader. Garcia didn’t give up a hit for 6 1/3 innings in the first game, until A&M’s Tim Cartwright doubled. A&M’s Tom Arring ton, 7-1, took his first loss of the year despite giving up only two hits. At one point, Arrington re tired 10 batters in a row. Arkansas scored its lone run in the second inning when Rob erts singled, stole second, went to third on a single by Brett Harrison and scored on a field er’s choice. Saturday’s second game was called in the bottom of the eighth because of rain, but Ar kansas’ Campbell controlled the Ags by striking out five, walking two and giving up just four hits. Mark Berry provided all the runs the Hogs needed with a two-run double in the third. A&M’s Kelly Keahey dropped to 5-1 with his first loss of the season. The Aggies will remain home this weekend to take on Texas Tech. Friday’s first game will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Olsen Field.
