THE BATTALION
Cadets Smash 17 Hits
In Beating Rice, 9-5
In an organized protest against
anemic batting averages, the Ag
gie bats spoke loud and clear Sat
urday afternoon as the Cadets
evened their Southwest Confer
ence record at 2-2 with a 9-5 win
over Rice.
COACH TOM Chandler’s squad
pounded a pair of Owl hurlers for
17 hits with six starters getting
at least a pair each. Meanwhile,
out on the mound, John Crain and
Steve Hillhouse allowed Rice only
six hits and 10 baserunners.
Sophomore Allen Koonce led the
way with two 380-foot blasts, one
clearing the fence in left center-
field and the other hitting the
wire boundary in deep center.
A&M SANDWICHED a walk to
Bill Grochett and a wild pitch by
Rice starter Tex Spear between
singles by Jerry Ballard and Bill
Hancock for two first inning runs.

Non - League Win

Aggie bats and errorless fielding,

ably made Texas Tech glad they

Aggies Sign
Basketba Hers
Coach Shelby Metcalf convinced
two more basketball players that
Aggieland was the place for them
and ran his recruit total to five.
Sonny Fethkenher, 6-6, 190-
pound center for Henderson County
Junior College, signed a letter of
intent Saturday. Fethkenher was
the outstanding player for an
HCJC team that posted a 17-11
season record including a pair of
wins over highly ranked Kilgore
Junior College.
Aggies saw Fethkenher display
his wares against the A&M Fish.
The high-jumping Dallas product
scored 24 points and pulled off
nine rebounds as HCJC won a 78-
54 decision. He averaged 23 points
per game and 14 rebounds for the
season.
The other signee is Johnny Dun
can, 6-7 ^ center from San Antonio
Harlandale.
Assistant coach Archie Porter
inked the 18-year-old to an Aggie
pact this past week. Commenting
on Duncan, Porter stated that
“Johnny transferred to Harlandale
and had only one playing season
under Coach Herschel Adkisson but
appears to have great college
potential.”
Duncan has size, speed and good
rebounding ability.

Bryan’s Travis Park Monday night.
The Raiders made one big threat,
in the first inning, when hurler
Chuck McGuire allowed three con
secutive hits after two outs. But
a sharp defense held Tech in check
and Chuck caught outfielder Ronnie
Ayers looking to retire the side.
From then on, it was John Henry
hammering his way to the house
between a forest of Techsan clowns
in baseball suits. The Raiders
sinned with five erors, donating
A&M eight unearned runs.
The Aggies charted two runs in
the opening frame when Lance
Cobb drove a single over second

Koonce tallied after a hit by Billy
Carlton which developed into an
error.

frame with a single, Bill Hancock
drew a walk and Lance Cobb landed
on first after an error on the short
stop. Bob McAdams rapped a
single and two more Maroon marks
were posted.
A&M added two runs in the sixth
and three each in the final two
frames to go on for the win.
McGuire was given the win for
A&M with six innings of work,
bringing his season mark to 3-2.
Billy Crain worked two frames
allowing no runs and no hits. Re
liefer gave up two hits in the final
innings.
Koonce hit Spear’s first pitch in
the third frame over the fence to
give the Aggies an early three-
run margin.
Rice came back in the home half
of the third for a trio of tallies to
knot the score. Crain walked
Ricky Blume and Spear to open
the inning. Then Gene Fleming
and Ronnie Waldo singled to bring
in two runs. Joel Tigett followed
with a double to drive in the third
score.
THE AGGIES added a run in
the fifth on a double by Koonce
and a single by Hancock.

of unearned runs in the bottom of
