Ags Shoot Down

The Texas A&M tennis team, hunting for a win against
North Texas State, shot down the Eagles, 5-2.
Playing within the friendly confines of College Sta
tion Tuesday afternoon. Coach Omar Smith’s racketeers
bombarded North Texas in four of the five singles matches
and split the two doubles contests.
In the number one singles clash, Aggie Richard Barker
bombed Dennis Conner, 6-0, 6-3. Holding service through
out the match, Barker played what Smith describes as
“the big game,” an aggressive style which never let Conner
retaliate.
Luis Rojas then outpointed Paul Snodgras of North
Texas, 6-0, 6-0. “Luis played almost flawless tennis”,
commented Smith. He spent most of the time at the net
(slamming the ball), but he also guarded the baseline
well.”
North Texas captured their lone singles point in a
two-hour marathon of duce games, as Roland Ingram de
feated Joe Tillerson of A&M, 7-5, 7-5. Sophomore Tiller-
son missed several chances to checkmate the more experi
enced Ingram, but his serve kept him in the match.
But Ricky Williams of A&M got the wheels rolling
for a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 mastery of Robert Reid. And Pete
Faust, another sophomore, swatted Eagle Mike Eggleston,
6-3, 6-3. The Eagles had flown their last.
Combining crisp volleying with solid overhead shots,
doubles crew of Barker and Rojas nipped Ingram and
Eggleston of North Texas, 6-3, 7-5. In the final doubles
bout, Reid and Snodgras of North Texas used their edge in
experience to squeeze out a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory.
“We really feel that this is our toughest team ever,”
said Smith. “Their record isn’t impressive right now (5-4),
“but I think they will come through.”
Freshmanwise, the North Texas frosh bombed the
Fish, 6-0. The young Ags suffered from the loss of Joe
Powell, the number one frosh netter, who suffered him
self — from measles.
In the four singles matches, Marshall Schubert bounc
ed Terry Smith, 6-2, 6-0, and Steve Moreno smashed
Paul Cass of A&M by the same score. Steve Malott of
North Texas chopped Charles LaSage, 6-2, 6-1 and Tommy
Sheely tucked away a 6-1, 6-0 win over the Aggies’ Carroll
Schubert.
The Fish also kaputted in doubles action, with Schu
bert and Moreno of North Texas dominating Smith and
Cass, 6-1, 6-4. Malott and Sheely topped the day by defeat
ing LaSage and Schubert of A&M, 6-3, 6-0.

Tommy Chiles continued
the masterful Texas Aggie
pitching and Alan Koonce,
Lou Camilli and Billy Crain
connected for the long ball
as the Aggies ran their win
ning streak to eight.
For the fifth consecutive
game, an Aggie pitcher did
not allow an earned run —
in fact Southern Methodist,
A&M’s victim Tuesday, was
shutout by Chiles, 8-0.
The win was A&M’s first
in Southwest Conference
play as Saturday’s TCU game
was postponed because of
rain.
Texas Lutheran College
was the last team to score
an earned run on the Aggie
pitching corps and they did
it on March 4. In the mean
time, the Aggies swept a
three-game series with Sul
Ross and beat the Univer
sity of Houston, plus SMU.
Sul Ross and Houston did
score runs on A&M but all
were unearned. The un
earned inning string now
stays at 43.
Chiles, a product of Shr
eveport Fair Park, was in
danger of lossing his shut
out and the unearned string
only once — in the second
frame.
SMU’s Donnie Denbow
and J. W. Davis led off the
inning with singles to put
runners on first and third,
but Chiles fanned Mike
Graves and got Hugh Hack
ney to ground into an inning
killing double play from
Lance Cobb to Mike Arring
ton to Crain.
Chiles allowed only five
hits — only one for more
than one base — fanned five
and gave up one walk.
While Chiles was blanking
SMU, Koonce, Camilli and
Crain were supplying the
batting support he needed
for his third win of the sea
son.
Koonce, the Aggie left
field, opened the scoring off
SMU pitcher Bob Bohren by
slamming the first pitch of
the second inning into the
temporary bleachers at the
open end of the football field.
Koonce’s drive measured
well over 425 feet.
The Aggies continued the
long ball parade in the third
inning as both Camilli and
Crain blasted two-run drives
over the 330 foot sign in left
field.
Camilli’s drive scored Chi
les, who had singled, ahead
of it, while Crain’s homer
scored Cobb. The two blasts
gave the Aggies a 5-0 lead in
the third.
Koonce was also instru
mental in the last three
A&M markers. He scored
the sixth run in the sixth
inning after opening the
frame with a triple off the
357 foot sign in center field.
The Aggie left fielder scor
ed after SMU’s short stop
hobbled a grounder by Niel
Thompson.
In the seventh with run
ners on first and second
Koonce hit a slow roller be
tween the mound and third
base. As he beat the throw
to first for a hit, Camilli,
who was on second raced
home and Ray Dickerson,
who was on first running
for Cobb, continued to third.
SMU’s first baseman made
a play on Dickerson at third
but his throw was wide of
the mark and Dickerson rac
ed for the plate for A&M’s
eighth run.
Koonce was A&M’s lead
ing hitter with three hits in
four times at bat. He was
followed by Cobb who got
two singles in four tries and
by Camilli who got a single
beside his home run.
Camilli also made the field
ing gem of the game when
he made a one-handed, driv
ing catch of a line drive
hit by Harold Richardson.
A&M will host St. Ed
wards at 3 p.m. Thursday at
Kyle Field. Billy Johnson,
with a 2-0 record, is slated to
start for the Cadets.
