Setup a vector with the shapes and the colors you want that are the
same length as the number of levels in Age:

> x <- read.table('clipboard', header=TRUE)
> x
    y      x Age
1  30 0.0323   O
2  24 0.0389   Y
3 158 0.0580   Y
4 120 0.0581   O
5 100 0.0471   Y
6 102 0.0615   Y
7 160 0.0546   O
> shapes <- c(16,17)
> colors <- c('red', 'green')
> plot(x$x, x$y, pch=shapes[x$Age], col=colors[x$Age])
