Sports Aplenty Baseball Season Starts March 1. By GARY SHERER Louisville Beats Stubborn Drake THE BATTALION Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, February 9, 1967 Get out the sorerarm liniment, mama — baseball's starting - again! The Aggie baseballers will swing into their 1967 season March 1, when they host St. Edwards U. of Austin at Travis Park in Bryan. Coach Tom Chandler begins his ninth season at the helm of the Aggie team and is welcoming back several lettermen from last season. Heading the list of lettermen is junior Lou Camilli from El Paso. The 20-year old switch-hitting third base- man was honored last year by being named All-America, All-Southwest Conference and tied with Texas Christian's Jimmy Duffy for SWC sophomore-of-the-year honors. Another returnee is junior catcher Joe Staples who also was named to the All-SWC team last year. Senior Mike Arrington returns for his final year at shortstop, while two outfielders also return from last year's team. The outfielders are Rick Schwartz and Chuck Malitz. Schwartz, last year's regular rightfielder as a sophomore, is from.Brownsville. Malitz was a starter as a sophomore, but last year the senior from Bethesda, Md., was hampered by a leg injury. Chandler hopes that this year he can get a healthy year from Malitz. Junior pitcher Tommy Chiles, who compiled a 9-1 record as a sophomore and last year was 4-2, will return to the Aggie mound corps. Senior utility infielder Ray Dickerson from Galveston completes the list of lettermen that Chandler will look to for some good performances. The Aggies have 30 games on their schedule, and in clude 17 home engagements. Their home games this year will be played on a home away from home, as all are scheduled at Bryan’s Travis Park. The reason for the move is the Kyle Field building project. Coach Chandler will know more about the team’s future after a few more workouts, so an in-depth look at the team will be forth-coming from this column. DES MOINES, Iowa (^) — Louisville's Cardinals, ranked No. 3 in the AP basketball poll, trail ed as much as 10 points at one time and had the scare of their life before winning- 57-54 Wednes day night over Drake, a last-place team in the Missouri Valley Con ference. After jumping to a 39-29 lead with 3:30 gone in the second half, the Bulldogs got careless and started throwing the ball away in the last 10 minutes. A shot by Westley Unseld, who had game honors with 23 points, put Louisville ahead for the first time after intermission at 50-49 with about eight minutes left. But Drake held on stubbornly and was ahead several times be fore Louisville went into a stall with 3:25 to go, leading 55-54. Spring Sports Tennis And Swim Teams In Action This Weekend Basketball Results I AM TAKING the last few paragraphs of this space to comment on Tuesday night’s basketball game attendance. It was the first home game since the victory over Texas. The attendance checkers kindly said there were 3,000 there, but we tend to think this might be a little excessive. The main point is that the civilians made up the lion's share of that crowd. There was definitely a lot of spirit shown from so small a group, as evidenced from the noise they made. But why can’t all the student body come out and sup port this Aggie basketball team? If anybody knows the answer to this question, please write me or stop in and see me.

THE AGGIES lost four senior lettermen and have only two jun ior lettermen to team with the sophomores up from last year’s freshmen squad. The two junior lettermen are Pete Faust and Joe Tillerson. They are seeded one-two as a re sult of a fall round-robin. The rest of the team, in order of seed, are Marcus Beleck, Terry Smith, Carroll Schubert and Martin Hal- pem. Smith, a 5-5, 125-pound sophomore, was the number two player on the freshman team last year. Faust has been the most im pressive of the netters so far and, along with Tillerson, gives A&M a potentially strong doubles team. They played at the Fort Worth tourney in the fall and de feated the top doubles team from Pan-American. COACH SMITH expects Trin ity or Pan-American to win this week-end. Pan-American has sev eral top Australian netters while always-strong Trinity has four highly-ranked junior champions. This particular meet will have an international air about it as the University of Corpus Christi has some top Mexican players and Lamar Tech has several from South America and South Africa. The freshman tennis squad looks strong and will get their first chpnce to prove it Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. when they play host to Navarro Junior College. The varsity will follow this weekend with matches at St. Ed wards University and U of H Feb. 18 and 25. The Aggies’ first home match will be with the Uni versity of Corpus Christi March 3. FRESH OFF the beating they gave to Rice and Texas Christian University, the swimmers will try to do the same thing to the Uni versity of Arkansas. Led by only two seniors and three juniors, the sophomore-laden squad is looking good to Coach Adamson, despite the lack of experience. Senior Jerry Keating, a two- letter man, and Roger Byrne, also a two-letter winner, will lead their mates against the Razor- backs. Keating swam a 22.3 in the Southwest Conference Meet last year in the 50-yard freestyle. Byrne, still improving according to Adamson, swims the butterfly. Arkansas is somewhat of an unknown quantity because they did not co m p e t e in the 1966 Southwest Conference meet. The Aggies managed a fourth-place finish in that conference meet. They will square off at 7 p.m. Saturday at P. L. Downs Nata- torium. This year’s Southwest Conference meet will be at the Texas Tech pool March 9-11.

NEVADA A&MConsolidated Battles LaGrange In Final Contest The basketball season is rapid ly drawing to a close at A&M Consolidated High School and this year the race for the district championship is a close one. The Tigers, who are 10-1 for the district, play their last game at Tiger gym Tuesday night against a strong LaGrange team. Coach Jack Churchill says that the Tigers need this game to stay in contention for the champion ship with Conroe. Conroe is 9-1 for the district and have two games left — Huntsville Friday night and Cypress-Fairbank^ on Tuesday. Since both teams have only lost one game, each, it would seem likely at this point that a play-dff will be necessary. If such a garite should become necessary, it wbuld likely be played on a neutral court, possibly Huntsville. Two dates are being considered now; February 17 or 18. However, if a playoff is not necessary, the Tig ers will probably play Corpus Christi Carroll in a preliminary bi-district game. The winner of this district will play the winner of District 9-3A, which is West Orange. West Orange now has a record of 43 straight district wins. The re gional playoff will be against the winner of the El Campo-Clear Creek game.
