THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, April 21, 1964 FROM THE Sideit ined By MAYNARD ROGERS Howdy! Like the kid with the dirty diaper, there has to be a change sometimes. I’m the new change, and I hope I can cover as much as Jim Butler, the previous Battalion sports editor, did. Aggieland has moved through a great transition in sports during the past year, and Jim followed it all with good, colorful sports coverage. He stuck with the teams whether they won or lost, and none were the better off than the athletes themselves. Now yours truly hopes to keep right on with the job of giving you the facts, figures and sidelights of A&M sports and the Southwest Conference. Judging by the way Maroon teams are doing thus far this spring, it looks like there is still plenty to write about. This doesn’t mean that The Battalion sports staff will slight any other athletic team on the campus intentionally, because we want the readers to get the scoop on all Aggie sports whether it’s cricket or billiards. We feel we have done our job when that goal is accomplished. Butler will remain on the staff until the end of school in sort of an executive sports editor-type capacity. It’s like he still wants to be with the Aggies in their SWC bid for the baseball crown. In other words, we can’t get rid of him and like Walter Roberts, exec sports ed of the Dallas Morning News, he wants to make the big ones. Jim predicted a lot of winners for A&M last week From the Sidelines, and even at the expense of the athletes, his prognostications could well be true. But that’s always the right way to go. Actually, Coach Hank Foldberg’s gridders should live up to all expectations. Every man on the squad seems to have discarded that old “we’re-used-to-losing” frame of mind and they want to win now. Shelby Metcalf’s bounceballers did something to put Aggieland back on the championship chart and it looks like the league’s newest mentor is in the process of building a machine that could make Yankee domination of the Ameri can League look like TCU’s seat in the SWC basketball cellar. One other thought that came to mind following the Aggie tennis team’s victory over the Texas Longhorns Satur day was the fact that Texas has not beaten A&M in head-on varsity competition since Thanksgiving Day. It’s still de batable about the winner of that game. So, I hope I am in the middle of something big at Aggieland. Aggie Netters Top Longhorns: Make’s It None For UT In ’64 A&M extended their domination over the University of Texas Sat urday by taking a Southwest Con ference tennis match, 4-2, on the A&M courts. Texas has yet to defeat the Aggies in 1964 varsity head-on competition. The action started Aggie Richard Barker lacing Jack Kamrath, 6-4, 6-4, in the feature singles match. IN THE NO. 2 singles engage ment, Luis Rojas finally fell to TU’s Jerry Walters after three gruelling sets, 12-10, 3-6, 6-3. Twenty-six year old Eddie Stray- ■ Raymond A. Nolan, seeking re- election as County Commissioner of Precinct One, made a formal statement today in his campaign. I am a land owner and a tax payer in the Wellborn Community, having lived in Precinct One of Brazos County 46 years. If re elected, I will continue to give my undivided attention to the affairs of the County and conduct it in an honest, efficient, economical, and courteous manner as I have tried to do in the past as your Commis sioner. Should the people see fit to honor me in returning me to the Commissioner’s Office, it will be greatly appreciated and I shall en deavor to perform faithfully the duties of a County Commissioner. I will continue trying to get more Farm-to-Market Roads in the Pre cinct as we have turned 42 miles of county road in Precinct One over to the State Highway Depart ment during my tenure in office. Also we have black-topped 22 miles with county equipment. This puts almost every family in Precinct One on or near a black-top road. I will make every effort to see each resident of the Precinct before the Democrat Primary Election May 2. But should I fail to do so, please accept this as an appeal for your support in the Democratic Primary. I am a member and attend the Wellborn Baptist Church. Thank You Raymond A. Nolan Pd. Pol. Ad. horn gave the Longhorns a tem porary lead by downing Raul Con treras, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. The Aggies’ Ricky Williams evened the score by defeating Kenny Wickett, 17- 15, 6-4. A doubles team of Williams and Contreras quickly disposed of Wickett and Mike Lawless in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. THE DECIDING DOUBLES match pitted Barker and Rojas against Kamrath and Walters. It was a typical A&M-TU battle, featuring a typical tennis and a fanatic effort. As twilight ap proached, the Aggies finally cap tured the fierce marathon, 6-2, 4-6, 15-13. The victory gave A&M an 11-7 conference record and a third place rung on the ladder behind Texas and pacesetting Rice. Cricket Team Takes Dallas The A&M Cricket Club handily defeated the Dallas Cricket Club 123-35 here Sunday to improve their season mark at 4-1. A&M tallied all their runs in seven wickets while Dallas went the full route of 10 wickets for the 88-run loss. High scorers for the Aggies were Arvid Kuchadker with 36 runs and Vasant Surti who scored 23 runs and was never put out. High scorer for Dallas was Colin Nixon with 17 runs. According to John Griffiths, head coach of the club, about 200 people witnessed the match at different times during the day. Alone Are We Atop SWC By Winning 2 From SMU By JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor Emeritus While Baylor and Texas were playing drop the horsehide in Aus tin, A&M’s baseballers were play ing leap-frog in Dallas and jumped from third place to the top of the Southwest Conference. But it’s mighty thin rung with the Aggies at 7-2 and BU and UT at 6-2. The Bears and Steers split a pair of 5-1 decisions while the Cadets were slamming 25 basehits, taking 6-1 and 7-2 wins from Southern Methodist. The victories were A&M’s sev enth and eighth straight. Aggie pitching remained ef fective despite high winds and the hitting continued to be devastating. Coach Tom Chandler’s crew slammed 10 safeties in Friday’s opener led by Jerry Ballard and Fish Lose 4th To Wharton With 1-Hitter The Aggie Fish lost their fourth baseball contest of the season to Wharton County Junior College here Monday by a 2-1 score, despite one-hit pitching by Larry Rowe. A&M drew first blood in the initial frame when Mike Harring ton drew a base on balls and stole second base in an effort to set up a scoring position. A long fly to right field by Chuck Malitz brought Harrington around from second for the lone Aggie tally. Wharton’s first entry into the scoring column came in the sixth inning when a Wharton baserun- ner stole home. The deciding run came in the top of the ninth when Wharton got a man on base by way of an error. The other Wharton hit followed, moving the runner to third, and a sacrifice drove across the final score of the game. The loss put the Freshmen’s season mark to three wins, four losses while Rowe’s record now stands at 1-2. Rowe struckout six batters and walked only two, but the Aggie defense allowed four errors. Frank Stark with a pair each. Meanwhile, back at the mound, Chuck McGuire was limiting an impotent SMU squad to five base hits. Only a spell of control trou ble kept the big right hander from a shutout. SMU turned two base on balls and a single into the lone run in the third inning.
