OKLAHOMA CITY — Randy Barnes, Texas
A&M’s big freshmen shot putter, took home the Ag
gies’ only first-place finish at the Oklahoma City Classic
indoor track and field meet with a put of 62 feet, 1 1%
inches.
Barnes, who won his event for the second week in a
row, defeated the defending Southwest Conference
shot put champion Marty Kobza of Arkansas.
A&M’s Head Track Coach Charlie Thomas said it
was who Barnes beat, not how far he threw, that was
important.
“He beat the SWC champion and that was the main
thing,” Thomas said. “It should give him a lot of confi
dence going into the (SWC) meet next week. He met
(Kobza) head up and he beat him. That is pretty good
for a freshman to beat the conference champion.”
Ian James finished third in the long jump, with a
leap of 25-2 3 /». Ernie Mendez jumped 6-11, good
enough to net him fourth place in the high jump.
Three Aggies placed in the 60-yard dash — Floyd
Heard (4th), Stanley Kerr (6th) and Lawrence Fefe
(7th).
The Aggie women scored only one point as Bfli
Drees placed fifth in the 3,000-yard run. BrandyStu)
blefield just missed getting points in the highjiimj
when she finished seventh.
Thomas said the Aggies had to answer somequs
dons before the SWC meet, like who would competes
what event.
Freshman Calvin Gaziano was searching for tj
event and although he placed fifth this weekend intk
1,000-yard run, Thomas said Gaziano will runbothtlt
mile and the two-mile in the conference meet.
There are also questions as to which race or nto
Dunn and Wesley will compete in.
Dunn, who placed fourth in the 1,000 this weekek
and was part of the mile relay team that placedfil
with a time of 3:16.34, could run in either of thoj
r aces or the two-mile relay, Thomas said.

DALLAS — In an NBA All-Star
game dominated by images of spec
tacular dunks, passes and layups, the
cool efficiency of 6-foot-1 Isiah
Thomas prevailed.
“This was Isiah’s type
of game,” said West
Coach Pat Riley after
Thomas led the East to
a 139-132 victory Sun
day. “His nature is to
attack and he creates so
many opportunities

The Detroit Pistons’ star guard
scored 12 of his game-high 30 points
in the fourth quarter, four of them
during a decisive 8-0 spurt late in the
game. He was named unanimously
as the game’s Most Valuable Player,
an award he also won in 1984.

“To have all the best basketball
players in the world here and to be
named the best of those is almost un
real to me,” said Thomas, who also
had 10 assists. “I can’t describe the
feeling. I’m very emotional.”
East Coach K.C. Jones of the Bos
ton Celtics said, “This man is a small
package of dynamite. He handled
each department like a piece of
cake.”
The victory gave the East a 24-12
bulge in the all-time All-Star series.
The West has lost six of the last
seven contests.
Down the stretch, Thomas played
with four teammates 6-foot-9 or
above, negating the West’s advan
tage of Thomas having to guard 6-9
