Texas was back on top of the
Southwest Conference baseball
race today while the Texas
Aggies, who had been leading,
dropped before a 15-hit attack
from the Texas Christian Hom-
ed Frogs.
Texas beat Rice 2-0 while
Texas Christian was smother-

' Southern Methodist and Bay-
Turf All Set
For Derby
NEW YORK (AP) — Pace
makes the race.
The American turf adage
probably never has had a better
test than the one it was to get in
today’s $100,000-added Wood
Memorial at Aqueduct — New
York’s final prep for the May 7
running of the 92nd Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs.
Ogden Phipps* Impressive
was the speed horse in the field
11, eight of whom are eligible
for the Derby. His front-running
style has carried him to four
victories and three seconds, in
all sprints, in seven outings this
year.
A week ago the son of Court
Martial-High Voltage burned up
the Aqueduct track with a 1:08
4-5 six fUrlongs before yielding
in the closing yards to stable-
mate Stupendous, who won the
one mile of the Gotham in 1:34
3-5.
If Jockey Kenny Knapp is per-
mitted to set his own pace on
lor couldn’t play at Waco be-
cause of rain and have sched-
uled a double-header today.
Texas Christian and Texas
A&M will be playing again at
College Station while Texas
and Rice get together at Hous-
ton.
Mickey Yates clouted a two-
run homer in the first inning
and Texas Christian never was
behind as the Frogs pulled even
with the Aggies at 6-3 in the
standings. Texas leads with 7-3.
L efthander Ronnie Paul scat-
tered eight Aggie hits. .
Gary Moore held Rice to three
hits as Texas shut out the Owls.
Don Johnson singled in one run
and Joe Gideon’s sacrifice fly
drove in the other.
Tiger and Emile Griffith today
but the hours began dragging
for the two champions who meet
in a 15-rounder for Tiger’s m'd-
dlewelght title at Madison
Square Garden Monday night.
“This will be my 13th title
fight,” said Griffith, “and al-
ways the hardest part is waiting
for the bell.”
"It’s a long wait,” admitted
Tiger, a veteran of five middle-
weight title engagements.
They completed their boxing
preparations in two-round drills
Friday at their camps in the
Catskill Mountains. They will
loosen up with gym work over
the weekend.
Tiger boxed two rounds with
Candy McFarland at his camp
at the Grosslnger Country Club
and returned to New York Fri-
day night. He was to exercise in
the Garden today.
“I feel great,” said the 36-
year-old Nigerian. “I’ll have to
be at my best to defeat Griffith.
He’s the fastest opponent I’ve
ever had and I think I’ll have to
go 15 rounds.”
Griffith, training at the Con-
cord Hotel in Kiamesha Lake,
boxed two rounds with Junius
Hinton.
BULL GORES COWBOY at opining performance of SCPRodeo.
Willard Deerman, South Plains College Rodeo Member was
hooked and gored by one of Walt Alsbaugh’s tough rodeo bulls
during the opening performance of the SPC Rodeo. Cowboy
was not seriously injured. Bulls proved to be the toughest
since no cowboy was able to stay aboard for the full required
time. Rodeo continued Saturday night at the Fair Grounds
and Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm. Big Hit wiin uie spectators
was Clinton Harlow and his trained Sheep Dog - Monkey Act.
Fans were amazed as well amused as the Cowboy Monkeys
stayed aboard their miniature saddles while the Sheep Dogs
cut and worked sheep from the herd and then penned all the
animals.

CHICAGO (AP) - One of the
most surprised baseball play-
ers when Sandy Koufax went the
distance and struck out 11 Chi-
cago Cubs in a 2-1 Los Angeles
victory Friday was Sandy Kou-
fax.
Koufax, who ended his mara-
thon holdout only three weeks
ago, held the Cubs to six hits in
recording his second victory in
as many decisions.
It was the third start for
Koufax, who previously failed to
go beyond six innings.
Koufax held the Cubs hitless
in the first three innings, yield-
ed three hits and a run in the
fourth and then began humming
like the Koufax who won 26
games and the Cy Young Award
last year.
“When I got in trouble in the
fourth I reached back for a little
something extra and there it
was,” laughed Koufax. “From
then on my rhythm, my stuff,
my control. . .everything
seemed to get better. It really
surprised me.
“As far as I’m concerned this
is still spring training for me,”
said Koufax. “Sure the games
mean more, but I’ve been at.it
only three weeks.
Koufax seemed to be nervous
on the mound and kept going to
his cap, wiping his head.
“It was cold and my hands
were so dry I was afraid the
ball would start slipping,” said
Koufax. “The only place there
tv as any moisture was under the
cap so I kept going there to get
moisture and rub up the ball.
“I’ve been working hard
trying to get in shape. “I don’t
know if rushing is better than
taking your time. Everything is
backward this year. It’s differ-
ent. I plan no extra rest now.
I’ll be out there.”
