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

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.
Saturday was the same story

Roberts Makes
Double Take
Aggie strongman Danny Roberts did a double takei
the Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday in a record-bre:
historical fashion.
The big Southwest Conference weight champion ca[
tured both the shot put and the discus events and %
nudged out by three votes as the meet’s most outstandii,
competitor.
Robin Lingle, Missouri’s distance dandy, who turned
blazing 4 :01 anchor mile to lead Missouri to a record four
mile relay win received the most votes in the balloting,
Roberts’ double win in the two weight events made i
the seventh man in the history of the meet to win boti
the shot and discus.
The 240-pound Aggie senior captured the shot witlii
heave of 60-2% which shattered the old mark of 59-7 se
by Bill Neider in 1959.
Roberts won the discus on Friday with a 176-9 effoit
whiqh just missed the meet mark in that event.
It was the second week in a row that Roberts passe
the 60-foot barrier. His best of the season is a 60-7 ta
The Aggies also picked up another place in the platta
sail when David Glover earned a third with a 164-9 thro?
That made the eighth consecutive track meet this season ii
which the Abilene junior has placed.
Ted Nelson, the Andrews flash, appears to be reachinj
his old form. The Aggie junior turned a 47.3 in the M
yard dash, his best of the season, but crossed the line behint
Houston’s Ollen Cassell for a second place. Nelson finishet
ahead of Texas Southern’s Ray Saddler and the form
Olympian Earl Young.
Another Maroon thinclad to improve his event durin?
the two-day gathering was John Collins who was timed it
14.3 in the high hurdles. The time was three tenths of 1
second off his fastest previous effort of the season.
This week the Aggies will send a five-man squad t(
the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, while the remaindei
of the team will go to Waco for meet with Baylor.
