Glass shattered his personal best of 7-3, 3/4, and came mighty close to clear ing the high jump bar with three fol low-up attempts at 7-6, 3/4. “I think he will shortly jump even higher than that,” said A&M Assis tant Track Coach Ted Nelson, add ing that Glass will be returning to Memorial Stadium for the NCAA Championships . The Texas A&M track team sec onded that blue ribbon performance with Arturo Barrios’ win in the 5,000-meters. His time of 13 min utes, 46 seconds nailed him a s|>ot in the Texas A&M record book and in the NCAAs, 11 seconds faster than the qualifying time for the cham pionships. “He won it pretty handily,” said A&M Head Track Coach Charlie Thomas, pleased that once again an Aggie had forced an Arkansas tra- ckster to settle for second. Rod Richardson’s third place fin ish in the invitational 100-meters verified that he can fulfill track fans’ great expectations. Richardson clocked a 10.16 run behind the 10.06 time of Missouri’s Chidi Itnoh and 10.09 of Houston’s Kirk Bap tiste. Baptiste had won a silver medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics be hind Carl Lewis. “Anytime you get third in the In vitational at the Texas Relays, you’re l imning pretty good," Nelsons adding mat this was Richards first 100-meters of the season Richardson sprained hisanik minutes before the race when jumped over a rail fence. “I kind of felt like that was reason he didn’t accelerate aiih nish,” Thomas said. But these weren’t the only ill to find a place in the finalsol track meet. Francisco landed 5th in the triple jump« distance of 51-8, 3/4 feet. Rich exander ran the 110-meter I in 14.25 seconds to finish eigl the 10,000-meters, Huev In turned in a time of 38 minutes. Texas A&M had to scratch its I and 800-meter relay teams beta Tony [ones injured hisfootini ball practice last week. SWC golfers infest Top 6 at tourney A&M finishes sixth in Morris Williams Associated Press AUSTIN — Brian Watts set a tournament record with an 11-un der-par 205, but his performance wasn’t enough to give Oklahoma State the team title Sunday in the Morris Williams Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. Instead, Trevor Dodds and Phil lip Jonas led a charge that gave the Lamar Cardinals a one-stroke ad vantage over the Cowboys and made them the only team besides Texas, Houston and Oklahoma State ever to have won a Williams tournament. Dodds and Jonas each had three- day totals of 9-under-par 207, or one shot below the old tournament re cord, which was held by Lindy Miller of Oklahoma State, Braudel Chamb- lee of Texas and Steve Russell of Houston. The Cardinals finished with a team total of 20-under-par 844, 13 ahead of third-place Texas.
