The wind also kept down times in the running events, with one of the afternoon's top efforts coming from Texas in the 400-meter relay. The Aggies, anchored by NCAA indoor 60-yard dash champion Curtis Dickey, turned in a clocking of 40.23 to nip the Houston Cougars (40.27). Jakobsson had managed a throw of 204 feet in the discus earlier this season, but he said the gusting winds Friday prevented any excellent distances. "We've been real lucky with the wind this year until today," said Jakobsson, who was forced to throw with the wind behind him considered the worst type of condition for the discus throw.

"No telling how far the throws would have gone without the wind. Considering the wind, I was just trying to win. This is the first Texas Relays event that I've won. "I took too many chances on my last 2 throws because I was trying to get everything into it" United Presa International AUSTIN, Texas Denes Pajtas of Canada and Oskar Jakobsson of Iceland, both representing the University of Texas, captured the javelin and discus throws Friday on the opening day of the 63rd Texas Relays but blustery conditions kept performances from reaching their expected levels. Pajtas won the javelin with a heave of 261 feet, 11 inches and Jakobsson captured the discus with an effort of 197-7, 7 feet less than his season best Winds gusted close to 30 miles per hour at Memorial Stadium and played havoc with the pole-vault qualifying.

Only 5 competitors cleared the qualifying height of 15-10. Among the qualifiers was National Collegiate Athletic Association indoor champion Randy Hall of Texas who made it over the bar on his third-and-final try. if i By Lee Shappell Republic Staff TEMPE When Steve Scott steps on to a track to run 1,500 meters, others in the field become tag-alongs. Scott owns that race. He has won 3 straight Amateur Athletic Union championships and for the last 3 years he has been ranked first in the United States.

Last season, Scott was ranked third in the world. When Scott bypassed his specialty in the indoor season opener, the Muhammad Ali Invitational, to run the 3,000, many thought he was not ready to race and was simply training through. The longer races might be foreign territory to Scott, but he doesn't need a road map to find his way through them. Scott ran an American record 7 minutes, 45.2 'seconds in the 3,000 in the Ali meet, breaking the late Steve Prefontaine's national mark by nearly 5 seconds. It was Scott's personal best by 7.9 seconds.

It was the first of 2 American records Scott would set during the 1980 indoor campaign. The other was his 3:53.0 mOe in the Sunkist Invitational. Today, in the Sun Angel Classic, Scott opens his outdoor season in the 5,000 meters. Hell face one of his biggest rivals, Steve Lacy, who usually chases Scott when the 2 meet at 1,500 meters. "But in this race I'm in his country," Scott said.

"I really believe his best race is the 6,000." Scott is 1 of many world-class track and field athletes assembled for the meet By unofficial count, there are 3 Olympic gold medalists among the entries and 24 athletes who have made the Olympic teams of their country. Action begins at 10 a.m. at Arizona State University's Sun Angel Stadium. Tickets are $5 for reserved seats and $2 for students. Most of the top amateur clubs and several colleges and universities will be represented.

Among the clubs: the Muhammad Ali Track Club, Bay Area Stridors, Southern California Striders (the merger of Angel Flight Striders and Tobias Striders), Maccabi Union Track Club, Santa Monica Track Club, Pacific Coast (Ciub, Athletes in Action, Sub-4 Track Club, San Jose Stars, Sports West, KCBQ Track Club, Athletics West and Naturite Track Club. Among the colleges and universities: Nebraska, Iowa State, San Diego State, Brigham Young, California State-Los Angeles, Texas-El Paso, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, Northern Arizona, Arizona and Arizona State. Nearly 600 athletes will be on hand. The meet is the outdoor season opener for many of the club-affiliated athletes. Scott moved to Tempe last fall after Len Miller was hired as track coach at ASU.

Miller had coached Scott when Scott was at California-Irvine. Scott said he and Miller planned more distance training work than in previous years to build a good strength base. "I've never done as much bulk work on the track as I've done this year," Scott said. "Here it is April. I'm usually in a mile pace in my workouts.

But I'm still doing a lot of repeat workouts at longer distances. We're hoping by doing so much bulk work late I'll be Btronger utter into July. "And, as it worked out, despite this heavy training I'm still fast, as I proved indoors in the mile." For a period in February, Scott wasn't sure he wanted to continue training. President Carter's decision to have the U.S. Olympic team boycott the Summer Olympics in Moscow shattered Scott's dream of winning an Olympic gold medaL "I was trying not to let it affect my training," Scott said.

"I kept telling myself to be ready in case he changed his mind. In February there were a few times when I wondered what I was out here killing myself for. "It has a real effect on the athletes. For a while, I think most of us tried to put it out of our minds. There are other goals to achieve.

Now, as the Games get closer and the reality of our not going becomes more and more apparent, it gets hard to train again. It's beginning to hurt more." 1 I Villanova sets relay mark Associated Preaa RICHMOND, Va. Villanova'B Don Paige outran Richmond's Sos Bitok in the last 220 yards Friday as the Wildcats edged the Spiders in a record-breaking distance-medley relay, highlighting the first day of the Colonial Relays. The Wildcats knocked more than 10 seconds off the record of 9:46.1 with a clocking of 9:35.9 and Richmond was right behind at 9:36.6. Third-place Virginia ran a 9:46.5.

Bitok ran his first sub-4 minute mile with a 3:57.8 anchor leg for Richmond. Paige, competing for the first time since the National Collegiate Athletic Association indoor meet in Detroit, was clocked in 3:59.9. Paige received the baton from Mike England about 20 yards ahead of both Bitok and Virginia's Chuck Brown, both of whom caught up almost immediately. They ran as a threesome for 2 laps, but Brown began to fade with 880 yards left Bitok led until the final 220, when Paige slipped past him on the outside and won by about 5 yards. The only other record broken on the opening day was in the steeplechase.

They faced him twice and beat him twice en route to a sweep of their 6-game season series against Arizona State. But this is a new year and a new Jones, as the junior right-hander from Lennox, demonstrated emphatically Thursday night He pitched a 3-hitter as the Sun Devils nipped the Wildcats, 3-2, in front of 5,023 fans at Packard Stadium. victory enabled ASU (10-3) to open a 3 Vi -game lead over idle UCLA in the Pacific-10 Conference Southern Division.

Arizona (5-8) fell 5 games off the pace. The series continued at 7 Friday night Kevin Dukes (6-2, 4.89 ERA) was scheduled to pitch for ASU against Craig Lefferts (3-1, 4.15). The Sun Devils expected big things of Jones last year after a 13-2 freshman season in 1978. But he finished 8-9. But Jones (7-1) was a different pitcher Thursday.

He didn't allow a hit until Scott Stanley's 1-out single in the fifth inning. Dwight Taylor's eighth-inning triple was the only ball hit with authority. "I was a little surprised at the results because I didn't have a real good curve ball," said Jones, who walked 4 and struck out 6. "I threw it often enough and close enough to keep them honest, but I didn't throw it for a strike as often as I would have liked." Jones and catcher Russ Stephans agreed that it wasn't Jones' best effort "He's thrown better," said Stephans, "but he wasn't bad tonight The big thing was that he missed where he was supposed to miss." Arizona State, ahead at the time, 2-1, scored what proved to be the winning run in the seventh inning on a misinterpreted sign. Lemmie Miller led off with a single and stole second.

With 1 out and Stephans at the plate, Miller broke unexpectedly for third base. When third baseman Casey Candaele broke for the bag, Stephans slapped the ball between third and short, scoring Miller. "Oh we work on that play all the time," joked ASU Coach Jim Brock. "It takes split-second timing. "Actually, we have a gimmick play, and Lemmie said he thought he saw the sign for the gimmick.

It was the late innings of a tight game against our archrivals. Maybe I gave the sign and don't remember. "Thank goodness it was Stephans at the plate. He has good bat control, and he made contact" Arizona was scheduled to start senior lefty Jeff Morris, but he came down with a stiff shoulder, and freshman Ed Vosberg inherited the pitching assignment Vosberg shut out the Sun Devils for 4 innings and ended up allowing 9 hits. He walked 4 and struck out 8 in 6 innings.

"We've put that young man in some tremendous pressure situations already," said Arizona Coach Jerry KindalL "I thought he handled himself very well but the way Jones was pitching for them we hist couldnt get enough runs for him (Vosberg)." Brock was extremely impressed with Vosberg. "He didn't have great velocity, but I cant remember when I've seen a freshman with that kind of poise and command," Brock said. "(Bill) Bor-dley (when he was at USC) was a power pitcher as a freshman, but I don't think he had the command that Vosberg had out there tonight "We had some very bad at bats against him, but we hung in there and didn't let him throttle us completely, and eventually we put enough things together to score some runs. "It makes me very sad to think that he's only a freshman." A sacrifice fly by Stephans in the fifth inning scored Miller with an unearned run and broke a scoreless tie. Terry Francona singled home an Arizona run in the sixth to tie it at 1-1.

In the ASU sixth, Bob Ferris doubled, took third on Alvin Davis' infield out and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mike McCain. Taylor led off the UA eighth with a triple and scored on an error by ASU shortstop Gary Forillo. Arizona went in order in the ninth, but Wes Clements stopped a few hearts when his long blast down the left-field line went foul by just a few feet He then struck out 980 BOBCAT ARIZONA RADIO 96 4 TO CHOOSE FROM SUN DEVIL BASEBALL!
