I’ve got an old reel that handles over 200 20-pound line, and it’s not »e end of the line, all you [is a No. 6 or 8 treble hook. If won’t cast that light weight, flip sinker above the hook, very weight-sensitive and will drop the bait if they feel any resistance. Dough is the most reliable carp bait, but I’ve caught them on corn, earthworms, mulberries and other exotic offerings. Carp dough is sim ple to make. My recipe calls for flour, oats and sorghum molasses, mixed into a stiff dough. The only real re quirements are a sweet element and enough body to stay on a hook. A chunk of dough soaking on the bottom will draw quite a bit of action, but not much from carp. Minnows, sunfish and channel catfish all like dough. You can tell a carp bite, though. He’ll hit the bait, keep run ning and take your rod and reel if you don’t get to it in time. N That brings up another point. You’re wasting time fishing for carp if you’re holding the rod. A carp can feel the slightest vibration and will shy away from the bait. I wait until the fish starts running with the bait, then pick up the rod and set the hook. After the hook is set, hang on. A carp will run for a while before he realizes he’s hooked, then he’ll really start pulling. Carp don’t jump when they’re hooked. They stay deep and just flat pull. I ve had bruises on my stomach from holding the rod butt and fighting against a big carp’s run. After you’ve landed a carp, don’t leave it on the bank to rot. Pressure cooked to soften the bones, then fried in patties, carp eats better than a lot of “good” fish. The best place right around here to catch carp is the Navasota River. Because they aren’t concentrated, chumming with whole-kernel corn will bring them around your bait. The carp in the Navasota aren’t big, averaging about five pounds. But in the limited space of the river, they’ll be all you can handle. laylor games cancelled his yeaii)_ Tom Chandler’s baseball rtns are Bopped its third game of the d highs In esterday, however the Ag- drive-imi cord will remain as if the as never played.

The Ags and Bears will match forces Monday in a doubleheader and a single game Tuesday. Texas A&M is currently in second place in Southwest Conference play with a 6-0 record and is 23-2 overall. The Houston Cougars lead the cir cuit with a 9-0 mark and will be on the road against TCU this weekend. Third place Texas will visit Rice. The hard-hitting Aggies top the SWC in team batting average with a .375 mean. Bill Raymer leads a group of six Aggies amongst the con ference’s top 10 hitters. Raymer boasts a .579 followed by Buddy Grobe (third with a .476), Mark Thurmond (fourth at .474), Robert Bonner (fifth at .440), John Biersner (sixth at .389) and Randy Blanchard (ninth at .375). Raymer has 10 runs batted in for second amongst SWC batters. Blan chard and Thurmond have eight and seven. Aggie pitching ace James Gibson tops the league in earned run aver age with a remarkable 0.00. Team mate Clint Thomas stands second in number of strikeouts with 22. — Paul McGrath By PAUL McGRATH Battalion Sports Editor The Texas A&M track team jour neys to the Metroplex today for Saturday’s Dallas Invitational meet. The Aggies were scheduled to go against Lamar in a dual meet in Col lege Station but opted instead for the relatively tougher competition in Dallas. Coach Charles Thomas’ team con cluded perhaps its best performance of the year last weekend with a sec ond place finish to the talent-laden Baylor Bears at the College Station Relays. The Aggies will again face the Bears, as well as Texas, SMU, Oklahoma, Kansas State and national power Tennessee. Baylor’s strength lies in the mid dle distance races and in the long jump and high jump. The Bears have already won the Southwest Confer ence indoors and the Border Olym pics. The Longhorns, the perennial SWC powerhouse, relies heavily on their weightmen, Dana LeDuc, Jim McGoldrick (discus champion at the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion meet last year) and Marty Petermann. Sprinter Overton Spence and pole vaulter David Sheperd also are key figures for the Horns. Graduation has hurt the Sooners, but OU is still potent with its sprin ters and hurdlers. Kansas State has two top milers and also has talent in the half-mile and long jump. The Vols of Tennessee could very well end up sitting on the NCAA throne with a host veteran retur nees. Sprinter Reggie Jones, first in the 220-yard dash and third in the 100 at the NCAA meet, should easily top the field in those departments at tomorrow’s meet. The Vols also re turn their entire sprint relay team which ran a 39.4 last year. The Aggies will be led by half- miler Tony Wheeler and distance specialist Manfred Kohrs. Thomas’ squad should fare well in the field events and has the best sprint relay time of the four SWC teams compet ing. A&M should also be strong in thehurdles events. The Dallas Invitational was cancel led last year due to foul weather and is being held for the second time Saturday in what is to become an annual affair.
