Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, May 6, 1964 THE BATTALION Thinclads Invade Lubbock; Hopes High At SWC Meet Aggie varsity thinclads, slightly encouraged by their performance in the triangle meet with Rice and Texas last Saturday in Houston, are at least a probable third place winner in the Southwest Confer ence track and field meet in Lub bock this weekend. “It looks like a two-team battle between Rice and Texas for the title,” Thomas said. “With the right breaks we could slip in ahead of one of them. On the other hand, either SMU or Baylor, or both, could finish ahead of us. It should be close.” SUCH SPRINTERS AS Robert Martin, Pat Mitchell and Richard Ferreri’s Triangle Restaurant Invites You To Try Our AGGIE SPECIAL Also, try PIZZA, Spaghetti, Raviola, Mexican Food, and Seafood.

Ags Aim At Revenge SWC Title In Austin By JIM BUTLER Associate Editor Prometheus was a legendary character nailed to a cliff for giv ing fire to humans. Hammers in hand, A&M’s dia- mondmen head for Austin Thurs day to nail Texas to the infamous Clarke Field cliff and in the pro cess will try to stake out the South west Conference championship. ALL THIS IN remberance of the fire that demolished the Aggies in that same green St. Patrick’s Day environment two years ago. The Cadets entered Austin need ing only a split in the two-game series for a ticket to Omaha and the College World Series. Losing a disputed 4-3 decision in the opener, the Maroon ripped up the Longhorns for seven innings of the second game holding an 8-2 lead. TEXAS WON THE game 11-10 in 10 innings to take the title. Eight seniors will suit up for their last conference games as Ag gies this weekend; eight seniors who were there two years ago; eight seniors who will come back from Forty Acres with the crown that was so rudely stolen from them two years ago. THE VENGEFUL octet are catcher Bill Hancock, first base- man Frank Stark, third baseman George Hargett, second baseman Bill Grochett, outfielder Robert McAdams, and pitchers Richard Beller, John Crain and Chuck Mc Guire. Again they need only one win for the championship. MCGUIRE WILL BE on the mound in one of the two games with Steve Hillhouse starting the other. Crafty old Bibb Falk, in his 22nd year at UT, will start Bob Myer and Charlie Hartenstein. Hillhouse, A&M’s ace lefty, beat Texas 5-2 in Bryan earlier in the season. Myer, top hurler for the Steers, lasted only five innings in taking the loss. MCGUIRE HAS A 7-2 record for the season and 4-1 in SWC play. Hillhouse is 6-2 for the year and 6-1 in the conference. Coach Tom Chandler hasn’t said which one will hurl the opener Thursday, a game that could be A&M’s 13th straight win. Mc Guire has given up only five hits and no runs in his last two games while Hillhouse has already de monstrated mastery over the ‘Horns. WHILE TEXAS IS obviously facing trouble on the mound, their hopes don’t improve when the Ag gie lineup and batting averages appear. The eight starters excluding the pitcher are hitting for an astound ing combined clip of .321 in league action. THESE ARE THE eight tk will take the field at 3 p.m. Ttac day and Friday: Jerry Bab (.357), ss; Bill Grochett (,2!t 2b; Alan Koonce (.393), If;® Hancock (.311), c; Lance Ctl (.377), cf; Bill Crain (.217), Frank Stark (.353), lb; andGew Hargett (.341), 3b. And it is this team that is giii to leave the field with the Sf baseball title.
