“It’s not a rebuilding year, but
we do have problems,” said Ag
gie Baseball Coach Tom Chandler
in assessing the diamond for
tunes of this year’s Aggie nine.
CHANDLER, STARTING Mb
ninth year as head baseball man
at A&M, welcomes back several
lettermen from last year, along
with a lot of newcomers.
"Our main problem is pitching,”
Chandler noted, as the Aggie men
tor will kave only one experienced
starting hurler. The pitcher with
experience is Tommy Chiles.
Chiles, a senior from Shreveport,
La., was All-SWC as a sophomore
but fell off last year because of
injuries.
PITCHER BOB SANDERS, jun
ior from Houston, returns to head
the bullpen corps.
Sophomores Bab Arnold from
El Paso, Walter Varvel from Col
lege Station and JC transfer
Rocky Thompson are expected to
do well on the mound.
“We have some strong points,”
Chandler pointed out as he re-
Yearlings Top
Ag Fish 60-58
A halftime lead of 10 points
proved too small for the Fish
cagers as the Texas University
Yearlings made up the difference
plus two and edged the Aggies,
60-58, Saturday afternoon in
Austin.
The loss gave the Baylor Cubs
the undisputed Southwest Con
ference title. The Cubs cinched
a tie Friday when they defeated
the Southern Methodist fresh
men. A win for the Fish was
necessary for them to have a
chance to tie.
High point for the Aggies and
the game was Ralph Hill, who
started his first game for the
Fish in place of injured Mike
Hazel. Hill also was the high
rebounder for the Fish with 15.
Mike Doyal was the top scorer
for the Shorthorns, with 19
points.
The Fish close out the season
Thursday when they play the
Texas Christian Wogs at Fort
Worth.

Matson, Strong, Fish Netters
Top Bright Spots For Aggies
By CHARLES ROWTON
Despite double wins by Randy
Matson and Deward Strong of
Texas A&M, Baylor University
managed an 80-56 win in a dual
track meet with the Aggies Fri
day.
Matson won the shot put with
a heave of 68-8?4 feet, more than
13 feet farther than Aggie junior
George Resley could manage.
Resley’s throw of 55-5 was good
enough for second place, how
ever.
THE AGGIE strongmen also
finished 1-2 in the discus. Mat
son’s best toss was 173-1014 while
Resley flipped the sphere 142-6'/2.
Strong won both hurdles events
in two too-close-for-comfort races.
His time of 15.2 in the 120-yard
hurdles was only .06 of a second
faster than Baylor’s Steve Lane,
and a time of 55.2 in the 440-
yard hurdles gave him a .2 second
victory from Joe Ratliff.
Top point-getter for either
team was Wayne Brandt of
Baylor. He was on the winning
440-yard relay team, won the 100-
yard dash, was second in the 220-
yard dash, and placed third in
the javelin with a throw of 174-0.
Two other Aggies took victories
in their events. Steve O’Neal
won the broad jump with a leap
of 22-3, and Donnie Ayres won
the javelin with a throw of 181-
6i/ 2 .
THE TENNIS TEAM suffered
a similar fate at the hands of the
University of Houston netters as
they lost 6-0. Ed Livesey beat
Pete Faust, 6-4 nd 6-4, Larry
Brownstein topped Joe Tillerson,
6-1 and 6-2, Scott McWilliams
stopped Marcus Beleck, 6-8, 9-7,
and 10-8, and Don Sampson beat
Terry Smith, 6-3 and 6-2.
In doubles competition Livesey
and Byron Tankersley teamed to
stop Faust and Beleck, 6-4 and
6-4, and McWilliams and Samp
son won their match with Tiller-
son and Smith, 6-3 and 8-6.
The freshmen had a more suc
cessful weekend as they scored
6-0 wins against the Houston
freshmen and the San Jacinto
Junior College squad. Jon Rag
land, Dwight Howard, Bruce
Crumley, and Nathan Finke com
posed the winning Fish team that
lost only 1 of 25 sets in the two
matches.

What are they doing? They are performing
a job of importance. Hour after hour. Year

Will yours be fruitful and creative?
Or just spent?
You're going to college to do something
