A&M readies for SWC title meelbi

Texas A&M Head T rack Coach
Charlie Thomas said if all goes well,
his team could leave the May 17-18
Southwest Conference Champion
ships at the Rice University track
with a championship ring.
Perhaps Thomas can speak to his
colleagues in football, basketball and
baseball about .

Arkansas is favored to win the meet
and Texas is picked to linisli second,
Thomas said it is almost impossible
to predict the outcome of such a tal
ent-laden meet.
“Every point counts in the confer
ence meet," Thomas said. “Five
points will separate about five tea
ms.”
He added, “One had day in one
event can lose it for you.”
While the A&M women’s team is
still nursing injuries, at least A&M
can count on taking a healthy men’s
squad into the championships, in
cluding Randy Barnes, who owns
the world’s longest shot put this year
at 71 feet, inches. Thomas said a
shot put of ()7 feet is considered to
he a world-class feat.
“Randy Barnes has surpassed' ev
erybody’s expectations, even his
own,” he added.
Barnes also has the SWC’s longest
discus mark in 1986 at 199-9.
The West Virginian will anchor
the field events for the Aggies, while
sprinters Floyd Heard and Stanley
Kerr, coming off impressive perfor
mances in the 100 and 200-meter
dashes at the Texas Invitational in
Austin last weekend, should he the
A&M stronghold on the track.

Even though A&M has two of the

The Aggies also are represented

Sports Viewpoint
“Hello, Texas (Longhorns), sure is good to see
you again.”
Following Texas’ collapse on the last weekend
of the Southwest Conference baseball race, at
least four Texas A&M teams probably wish to
send a great big thank you card (or sympathy
flowers) to those ’Horns in Austin.
It was the Longhorns who in some way con
tributed to the Aggies’ four SWC titles.
Historically, Texas alumni could count on a
few Southwest Conference championships. The
Longhorns were proven winners.
But times have changed.
The Texas exes now have to he scratching
their heads wondering what went wrong during
the 1985-86 season.
Although UT did win the volleyball and wom
en’s basketball crowns outright and shared the
men’s basketball and baseball titles, it was the
near misses and the scandals that left the ’Horns
with more than a slight case of indigestion.
The SWC football championship came down
to a season ending head-to-head matchup with
A&M.
Texas had tradition on its side.
The ’Horns owned a 63-23 series advantage
over the Aggies. And since A&M hadn’t been to
the Cotton Bowl since 1968, the index and pinky
linger seemed to he pointed in the direction of
Dallas.
But the Aggies broke tradition and drilled the
Longhorns 42-10 for the title.
T hen basketball followed.
Texas appeared to he wearing the crown atop
its head as the season drew to a close. But the
’Horns fell to TCU 55-54. Then in last game of
the conference schedule, the Longhorns were
upset by then-lightlv regarded Texas Tech 63-
62.
So instead of being king of the mountain,
Texas had to split its “lion’s share” with A&M
and TCU.
In women’s tennis, the ’Horns had a one-
maul) lead over A&M (50-49) going into the
SWC Tennis Championships in Corpus Christi
two weeks ago.
But the Longhorns choked again, losing six
second-round matches in the tourney which
helped put the ring to Bobby Kleinecke’s Aggies.
Baseball presented almost the same scenario
as basketball. The nationally ranked Longhorns
won three straight from the Aggies on the next-
to-last series to climb the ladder to the top.
But last weekend, UT fell to fifth-place Hous
ton in the last two games of their three-game se
ries to fall a rung and tie with A&M.
Somewhere, Bevo is tucking his head under
his tail. The ’Horns just aren’t used to sharing
with anyone.
But times have changed and so have tradi-

The Philadelphia
Experiment
Philadelphia has become A&M’s home away
from home.
The NFL’s Eagles, who reside in Philly, have
begun a tradition of drafting Aggies.
Similar to the Pittsburgh Steeler-Baylor Bear
connection, the Aggie-Eagle version began when
Philadelphia selected A&M’s All-America kicker
Eric Franklin in the ’79 draft.
Although Franklin was traded to New En
gland before the start of the ’84 season, the Ea
gles added center Mark Dennard to their roster.
Dennard, who starred for the Ags from ’75-
77, started for the Eagles for two seasons after
arriving from Miami. Before the recent NFL
draft, Philadelphia cut Dennard, and he re
signed with the Dolphins.
In the ’85 draft, the Eagles took A&M offen-
sive lineman Ken Reeves who not only made the
team, hut made the starting lineup.
