Wrapup Of Weekend Sports
Disappointment, Rejuvenation
The past weekend was one of
disappointment and rejuvenation
for Texas Agg-ie athletes.
Disappointments happened at:
Kyle Field, where the Aggie
baseballers needed to win a two-
game series with Baylor to stay
in title contention but had to set
tle for a split and virtual elimi
nation from the Southwest Con
ference race.
Austin, where three Aggies had
a chance to take SWC titles in
golf and tennis, but had to strug
gle to gain seconds.
Rejuvenation happened at:
Des Moines, Iowa, site of the
Drake Relays, where Randy Mat-
son regained his old form and
won both the discus and shot put
with excellent performances.
It will now take a miracle for
the Aggies, once the No. 2 team
in the nation, to win the SWC
baseball title and a spot in the
NCAA Tournament.
The Aggies, now 7-5 in confer
ence play, will have to wait until
the outcome of the Texas Chris-
tian-University of Texas series
before they will know if the SWC
title is out of reach or if they still
have a chance.
TCU and Texas will play this
week and if Texas beats TCU in
the two-game series then the Ag
gies are still alive, but . . .
In the Baylor series, the Bears
rallied for three runs in the ninth
inning of the first game to beat
the Cadets, 12-9, but A&M came
back in the second game, 7-5.
A&M took a three-run lead in
the initial inning of the first
game only to see Baylor explode
for five runs in the third to take
the lead. The Aggies rallied for
three and two runs in the fifth
and sixth, respectively, before
Baylor tied the count in the sev
enth and scored the winning runs
in the last frame.
Alan Koonce paced the Aggie
attack in the first game with two
home runs, one a tape measure
job in the third.
In the second game, Billy John
son got revenge for the treatment
the Bears gave him during the
first game. Johnson, who started
the first game, left the game
after the Bears had bombed him
for the five runs in the third. But
in the second game, Johnson re
lieved starter Steve Hillhouse and
put out the Bears to preserve the
victory.
Lou Camilli’s single, Lance
Cobb’s double, Rick Schwartz’s
double and Joe Staples’ single
gave the Aggies three runs in
the sixth inning of the second
game and the margin of victory.
For the Aggie baseballers, it
will take help from their friends
at the forty acres or the SWC
title is out of the question.
One member of the forty-acre
squad was not too friendly this
past weekend. Mason Adkins
fired closing rounds of 73 and 74
to beat Aggie Lee McDowell in
the SWC golf championship. Mc
Dowell finished one stroke be
hind Adkins who fired a 295.
McDowell said after the final
round he would file a written
protest to the conference because
of what he considered an unfair
drop given Adkins on the next to
the last hole, which Adkins bird
ied to win the match.
While McDowell was fighting
a bad round and meet officials,
Aggie netters Richard Barker
and Luis Rojas couldn’t solve the
combination of Rice’s Butch See-
wagen and Chip Travis. Rojas
and Barker had won the title in
1964 and were trying to get their
second trophy in three years, but
the Rice duo had other ideas.
Barker and Rojas, both also
playing in the single tournament,
were eliminated before the finals.
While Aggie athletes were try
ing to stay alive in Texas, Randy
Matson was reborn in the middle
of the nation’s corn belt. The
Aggie giant, who has been fight
ing knee injuries, lack of weight
and fatigue all season, put togeth
er one of the nation’s top “weight
doubles” of the year.
Matson flung the discus 185-
SVz and putted the shot 65-3%
to break his own record.
A&M also had a fourth in the
440 relay, but were disqualified
for running out of the lane. The
team members were Gilbert
Smith, Billy Schmidt, Arnie Britt
and Gary Abernathy.
