A&M signs state
sprint standout
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
The Texas AJcM men’s track team
has added yet another thorough
bred to its stable of young sprinters
with the signing of Galveston Bali’s
Derrick Florance Wednesday
Florance won the state 5A
championship in the 100 and 200-
meter dashes this year with a hand-
timed 10.1 seconds in the 100 and a
20 3 in the 200
Florance's 100 tune may have
been a national high school record,
beating a 10.18 posted by Rov Mar
tin, now with SMU, but since the
University InterschoiastK League
doesn’t use electronic timers for the
state meet, his time was adjusted to a
1034
Florance also anchored Galveston
Ball's 400 relay team to a first-place
Finish at the Mate meet.
With the signing of Florance, the
Aggies may have the fastest group of
sprinters in the country. AkcM fresh
men Stanley Kerr and Floyd Heard
had solid performances at the
NCAA Championships, winning
each ol their 100, 200 and 400 relay
trials, before Heard won the 200
with a 20.34.
Heard placed sixth and Kerr sev
enth in the 100, and along with Law
rence Felton and Archie Roberts,
finished in second place behind
TCU in the NCAA 400 relay final
Florance will join Columbus'
Percv Waddle as freshmen sprinters
for A&M. Waddle, signed as a wide
receiver for the football team, won
the state 3A 400-meter dash in 46.6
and anchored his 400-relay team to
first place at the meet.
Aggie Track Notes ... Heard will
be running the 100 and 200 in the
Senior Track Athletics Congress
(TAC) Championships held Friday
through Sunday in Eugene, Ore.
Aggie Randy Barnes, who has the
world's longest shot put this year at
71 feet, 9Vk inches, was scheduled to
throw the discus at the TAC meet,
but has withdrawn to allow his in
jured throwing hand to heal.
His technique coach. Robert Par
ker, sai^ Barnes won’t compete the
rest of the summer in the nope of
being ready for competition this fall.
Court: ‘Play ball’
4A tourney will be played
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Su
preme Court cleared the way
Wednesday for Class 4A high school
baseball teams to play for the state
championship this weekend
Austin Westlake is in. Waco Rich
field. which felt unfairly deprived of
a tournament berth, is out.
Westlake will play Mercedes Fri
day at 5:30 p.m Snyder plays Bren-
ham Friday at 7:30 p.m. The title
game is set for Saturday at 7 p.m. All
games are at Dtsch-Falk Fiekf.
After an hour of arguments and
45 minutes of closed-door deliber
ations Wednesday, the court granted
Westlake's request to overrule a
Wacojudge^order that hadkrpt al
ive Rk h field*s title hopes.
Austin Westlake beat Richfield 4-
3 in 11 innings June 5 in the first of
what was to be a three-game series.
Games two and three were rained
out and Westlake advanced to the
semifinals when the University In-
terscholastic League denied Waco's
request to allow the Richfield-West-
lake senes to continue after the June
7 deadline
State District Judge Bill Logue of
Waco then barred the Class 4A tour
nament from proceeding before
Westlake and Richfield could com
plete the series. Westlake officials
then got a conflicting order from
State District Judge Juan Gallardo of
Austin.
In the meantime, championship
games were plaved here last week
end in the other four classes while
the 4A teams waited to see if they
would plav any more games this
year.
"We are very anxious to get the
tournament underwav," UIL Ath
letic Director Bill Farney said after
the Supreme Cxrurt cleared the way
for Westlake. Snvder, BFenham and
Mercedes to play for the title
Phillip McCleery, lawyer for the
Waco school district, said he had
given “no thought at alf about
whether to seek further legal action
in the case.
The Supreme Court's written
opinion will not be filed for several
days. A brief order handed down
Wednesday gave no reasons for the
decision.
Aguirre likes LA., but
glad to stay in ‘Big D'
DALLAS (AP) — Mavericks' for
ward Mark Aguirre, apparently
dose to being traded to the Los An
geles Lakers on NBA draft day, says
he is just as happy to stay in Dallas
“I love Dallas and I’d love to keep
on playing here," Aguirre said I
hope we plav the running kind of
game we aid against Los Angeles in
tne playoffs. I fWl that type of game
is more suited to me "
Aguirre was at Reunion Arena,
headauarters for the Mavericks, for
Tuesday's draft and was aware of
the rumors that Los Angeles was en
gineering a deal.
The hottest rumor would have
sent Aguirre and power forward
Roy Tar pier, drafted seventh by the
Mavericks, for forward James
Worthy and either Michael Cooper
or Byron Scott.
“I’m sorry there is no trade an
nouncements." said Dallas personnel
director Rick Sund. "There have
been a lot of rumors floating around
with no validity."
Aguirre himself fueled specu
lation
"I heard from an inside source
that the Lakers are really inter
ested," he said. “I talked with Magic
(Johnson) the day before. He’s actu
ally pushing it quite a bit."
Aguirre, who is a longtime friend
of Johnson, said he wouldn't mind
plavmg with the Lakers. “Who
wouldn't? I'd like to play with Magic
He would love to plav with me.
"But if 1 could slay here with no
problems, I'd like to stay here."
Aguirre, the Mavericks' star
scorer, has been at odds with Coach
Dick Motla at times and a trade
would surprise few who follow the
team.
“There’s a conflict of styles,’’
Aguirre said. “I can fit in any style
but there comes a point where talent
level comes into plav .
“And right now that talent is dor
mant. I have to be allowed to show
that talent."
He savs a trade still is possible.
“As hard as they seemed to be try
ing. it looked like it might happen,"
he said. "There are times when 1
think Dallas will deal me. Of all the
teams they could deal me to, the
Lakers would be a good place for me
to go "
Vulture' rips Denmark
'•'MEXICO CITY (AP) — Emilio
“The Vulture" Butragueno flew
over, around and through the Dan
ish defense for four goals Wednes
day, leading Spain to a 5-1 rout of
the World Cup newcomers in the fi
nal game of the second round.
In the afternoon s other game,
England's Gary Lineker scored twice
in leading his team into the quar
terfinals with a 3-0 victory over Paia-
guav
Butragueno was unstoppable, re
cording the first four-goal game
since Eusebio did R for Portugal in
1966 against North Korea.
He scored on a header, a penalty
kick, a 2-on-l break and after steal
nig an ill-advised pass from Jesper
Olsen, who had Denmark's goal on a
penalty kick. Andoni Goicoechea
also scored on a penalty-kick lor the
Spanish, who eliminated one of the
tournament's glamor teams.
Denmark had made a sensational
World Cup debut by winning Group
E and out storing the opposition 9-1.
But it could not penetrate Spain’s
defense and it could not cope with
