THE BATTALION 'Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, March 27, 1963 FROM THE S^ideli ine5 Cffa By Van Conner After Sunday’s tie with the University of Houston, the A&M Soccer Team remains undefeated with 17 victories to their credit since school began last September. Now they have qualified to play for the state championship for the first time since 1957. Although there remains the formality of one more game in two weeks, the Aggies captured first place in the .§» Houston Soccer League for 1963. Despite the fact that International of San Antonio is also unbeaten, it looks like a cinch for the A&M Club to beat them before a television audience in Houston Sunday and walk away with the Texas chamnionship. Wouldn’t it be interesting if this Aggie team — which should prove fairly conclusively that they are the best Texas has on Sunday — could represent the state in national competition ? Chances Are Slim Unless some unforeseen benefactor turns up, or some change of heart among the oowers-that-be occurs, the A&M team will never have that chance. As a student club, the team receives $390 a year which it uses for gas on trips and uniforms. According to An gusto Cruzalegui this sum falls short of what is actually needed to make the trips, but the team members don’t mind chipping in what they can in order to represent A&M in Houston League competition. Cruzalegui says the team would rather do most of their comneting against other college teams. They’d like very much to see how thev measure up to out-of-state advesaries. The only out-of-Texas team they’ve met this year has been a group from Nuevo Laredo at a Houston invitational tourney. The ideal solution, of course, would be membership for the A&M Club in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As a point of information, the NCAA main tains an extensive soccer program, with a number of eastern and northern schools competing hot and heavy each year. But NCAA membership requires a school to consider soccer a “major sport.” The team would have to have a coach, provided by the school. And the school would have to make a formal application for admittance. And it would cost money to participate in NCAA com petition — more than $390 a year and more than team members could pay out of their own pockets. Too Late This Year It is too late this year for A&M to become a NCAA member. In fact, the national tournament is over and St. Louis University is 1963 NCAA champion. Even so, the Aggies want to issue a challenge to St. Louis for an exhibition game. If St. Louis accepted — though it isn’t likely that they would risk their record — the A&M Club probably couldn’t go without more help from the school. Lost cause ? Maybe so, but it seems a shame that A&M, which has such a high enrollment of students from countries where soccer is the national sport, couldn’t somehow be able to play in national intercollegiate coippetition in the future. The club can’t swing it by itself. They’ve gone to the top of the pile in Texas almost entirely on their own, but now they need help.

Sports Editor Ag hurler John Crain spotted the Rice Owls three runs in the first innings then shut the door as the Cadets took a 5-3 decision Tuesday on Kyle Field. The junior right-hander allowed only six hits, all in the first three innings in notching his first win of the season against no defeats. Rice had two baserunners in the last six frames, one on an error by shortstop Jerry Ballard in the sixth and one on a walk in the ninth. The win gave the Aggies a 2-0 record in Southwest Conference play, putting them in the league lead one-half game in front of Texas Christian and Rice. The Horned Frogs lost to Baylor, 3-2, for their first SWC loss. Rice is now 2-1. RICE STARTED the scoring when shortstop Billy Hale doubled in Lee Raesener who had singled. After retiring two Owls, Crain gave up a single to Randy Kerbow that drove across Hale and Gene Fleming. Fleming had gained first on an error by Frank Stark. A&M took the lead, with four runs in the second, capped by Bill Hancock’s third home run of the season. Centerfielder Ray Hall opened the inning with a sinking High School Miler From Midland Lee Will Attend A&M One of the state’s outstanding school-boy milers, Earl Jeoffrey of Midland Lee High School, told Aggie track coach Charles Thomas Monday that he will attend A&M on an athletic scholarship. .. Jeoffrey has the best time in the school-boy mile run for the season in Texas. He set a record in the mile at Odessa’s West Texas Relays recently with a 4:26.4 ef fort. The prospective veterinary medi cine student is also the state Class 4-A cross country champion. He ran the two miles in 9:57.0 last fall. liner to right field and moved to second when Bill Grochett drew a walk. Catcher Bill Puckett singl ed to load the bases. Crain then grounded to short and two Cadets scored as Rice failed in a double play attempt. THE NEXT hitter, Ballard,'hit a hard liner to the Owl shortstop who dropped the ball and threw wild to first. Hancock followed with his drive over the right field fence. A&M was robbed of two runs in the fifth when Hall hit a long fly ball to right field with Stark on second base. Owl right-fielder Don nie Longcope reached over the fence to grab the ball and the inning. The Cadets tallied a bonus run in the seventh on Hancock’s single and Robert McAdams’ double to end the scoring. A&M pounded Frank McKeown for 10 hits with Ballard, McAdams and Hancock getting two taj Crain, who pitched Houston W laire to a state championship,ij two stretches in which he sett nine Owls in a row.
