Matson Outstanding
Performer In Relays
By JERRY GRISHAM
Randy Matson was voted top
performer in the Texas Relays in
Austin last weekend as he set
wo more records, one in his spe
cialty, the shot, and another in
fie discus, which is fast becoming
one of the Aggie champion’s spe
cialties.
MATRON PUNCHED the 16-
pound shot 68 feet % inches in
the preliminaries Friday for a
new meet record. The record
lasted for one day until the shot
put finals Saturday. On his third
toss in the finals he upped the
mark to 68-8.
In the discus, Matson estab-
xamiH. li s hed a new National Collegiate
Athletic Association mark with a
throw of 201-1, eclipsing his old
NCAA mark of 200-7% which he
set March 18 in the A&M-Rice-
LSU triangular meet at A&M.
Other Aggies placing in the
meet were George Resley who
was fourth in the shot with a toss
of 54-11 and Henry Rollins who
placed fifth in the pole vault with
a vault of 15 feet.
Rollins’ mark set a new school
record in the pole vault. The pre
vious record of 14-% was set by
hewis Poland in the 1962 Texas
Relays.

It took over three hours to do
it but the Aggies stomped the
Texas Tech baseballers 10-1 in
the Maroon and White's first
night game of the year.
BEFORE A TRAVIS Park
crowd of 350, the Aggies came up
with a six-run outburst in the
seventh inning Monday night and
put the game out of reach for the
Red Raiders.
Tech and the Aggies are play
ing again today at Travis Park.
The win makes the Aggies 9-5
on the year. The victory will not
count in the Southwest Confer
ence, as Tech (now 3-10) does not
compete in the SWC baseball
race.

Willie Stargell’s two-out pinch-
hit home run with one man on in
the bottom of the ninth inning
gave Pittsburgh a 4-2 exhibition
baseball victory over Kansas City
Monday.
Doubles by Cleon Jones and
Johnny Lewis sparked the New
York Mets to three runs in the
first inning and the Mets beat
the Chicago White Sox 4-1. Jack
Hamilton and Bill Denehy allow
ed just two hits to the Sox.
Rico Carty’s two-run double in
the sixth inning, gave Atlanta a
2-1 victory over Philadelphia.
Deron Johnson batted in four

ble as Cincinnati beat Detroit 6-4.
Mel Queen was the winning pitch
er, giving up three runs and five
hits in seven innings.
Mike Shannon led the St. Louis
attack with three hits and the
Cardinals beat Minnesota 6-1.
Orlando Cepeda drove in a run
and scored two more for the

running by the Aggies, the game
dragged on with the score stand
ing at a 4-1 Aggie lead going
into the seventh inning.
The Aggies started the sev
enth facing a new Tech pitcher.
John Jackson had come in for
starter Eldon Fox who had been
removed for a pinch-batter.
TEN MEN WENT to bat in the
inning as the Maroon and White
plated six runs on the benefit of
just one hit. Lou Camilli led off
the inning with a walk and Pat
Rozypal followed Camilli to the
basepaths, hit by an errant pitch.
A walk, fielder’s choice, an error
and Pete Maida’s double came
next and the Aggies had four
runs.
A walk and two more errors
brought home the other two runs
in the inning. When the Aggies
were finally retired, most of the
crowd retired also and left the
ballpark. As the crowd felt there
was no doubt about the outcome
by their exodus, Aggie reliefer
Bob Sanders made them look like
prophets as he set down the Tech
batters for the rest of the game.
SANDERS HAD COME in for
starter Ricky Schwartz in the
sixth inning when Tech scored
its only run. Schwartz had walked
two men in a row and was at two

balls and no strikes to the next
batter when Aggie Coach Tom
Chandler decided to make the
change.
It took Sanders some 16 pitches
to do it, but he struck out the two
men he faced in the inning to
shut the door on the Raider rally.
Schwartz got credit for the
win. He had given up only one
hit and struck out five going into
the sixth. Sanders was equally as
effective in his 3% innings, al
lowing just one hit, while striking
out seven and walking just one
batter.
The Aggies’ eight - hit attack
was led by shortstop Mike Ar
rington, who chipped in with
three, and Maida and Chuck Mal-
itz who added two apiece.
IT WAS THE second win in a
row for the Aggies, with the vic
tory coming on the heels of the
Maroon and White’s SWC win
over Baylor Saturday afternoon.
Behind the complete - game
pitching of Rocky Thompson the
Aggies topped the Bears 5-3 at
Travis Park.
In a well-played ball game, the
Aggies scored their second SWC
win with a four-run rally in the
eighth inning. The Maroon and
White had to hold on in the ninth
as the Bears’ two-run rally fell
short and Thompson got credit
for his third win of the year.
Thompson and Baylor’s Rod
Robinson had matched pitches for
seven innings, with the two runs
being scored in the first two in
nings.
MALITZ HAD PUT the Aggies
in a 1-0 lead with a first-inning
home run, while Baylor had come
back in the second inning with a
run on a double and two infield
outs.
Thompson and Robinson then
took over from there and neither
team could get anything started
until the Aggies’ eighth-inning
rally.
Richard Backest started off the
eighth with a single, which was
followed by a walk to Thompson
and Arrington’s bunt single. This
loaded the bases for Malitz but
his ground ball was fielded by
the Bears’ Rickey Head and the
Baylor second-sacker threw Back
est out at the plate.
With the bases still loaded, Ca-
milli’s clutch single to left scored
Thompson and Arrington. Malitz
went to third and Camilli to sec
ond on the throw to the plate.
Malitz and Camilli were the final
two runs in the inning as they
scored on Joe Staples’ single.
BAYLOR’S ROBERT Black
tried to get the Bears started
back with a two-run home run in
the ninth, but Thompson bore
down and got the final out on a
fly to Arrington.
The win puts the Aggies SWC
record at 2-3 and pulls them out
of the conference cellar.
Southern Methodist is now back
in first place with a 5-2 mark fol
lowed by Texas at 3-2, Texas
Christian at 2-2, the Aggies and
Baylor at 2-3 and Rice now in the
cellar at 2-4.
The Baylor win was the Ma
roon and White’s second straight
conference victory and puts them
right back into the thick of things
in the SWC race.
