Aggieland Recreation Center Redmond Terrace Center College Station, Texas inning at Travis Park Monday night and it allowed Bob Long to score the winning run to give the Aggies a 5-4 win. Moritz will be remembered most in this game for his unfortunate error. What will be forgotten will bet he outstanding fielding plays he made earlier in the game in robbing the Aggie batters of sure extra base hits. Aggie rightfielder Bob Arnold was Moritz’s first victim when he (Moritz) raced over towards the foul line and caught a sliced liner off Arnold’s bat. What made the play outstanding is that Arnold is a left-handed batter so Moritz had a long way to go to make the play. IN THE second inning, Moritz struck again. Long, who recently has come on as the most consist ent Aggie hitter, hit a shot to left-center. Moritz going at a full gallop hauled in the line drive to stave off at least a double for Long. In the third inning, when the Aggies scored their first two runs, Moritz narrowly missed Joe Staples’ long double but made up for this by making a fine throw to the relay man and baserunner Pat Rozypal was out at the plate. Texas Lutheran scored all its runs in the first three innings, wtih Aggie errors leading to all but one of the runs.

Ricky Schwartz started the game for the Aggies and gave way to workhorse Rocky Thomp son at the end of the sixth. Thompson picked up his fifth win of the year as he stopped the Bulldogs from Seguin for the final three innings. The Aggies are now 14-8 for the season with the win, breaking their two-game losing streak that had begun with the double loss to Texas Christian at Fort Worth over the weekend. In Friday’s game the Aggies ran into some stiff pitching from TCU’s Bing Bingham and two home runs by Frog sluggers Mickey Yates and Bill Ferguson. The tandem force was enough to nip out the Maroon and White at the end with a 3-2 TCU vic tory. THOMPSON took the loss in this game, as he went all the way, giving the Horned Frogs just seven hits. But two of those hits were the round-trippers. The Aggies meanwhile could only manage five safeties and were unableto keep a decisive rally going althought they led at two points in the game. It was a different story in Saturday’s game as the Horned Frogs led all the way and won 4-2. TCU greeted his inaugural start rather roughly with four runs in the first four innings. Walter Varvel and Tommy Chiles finished up for the Aggies and shutout TCU the rest of the way. The Maroon and White bats, how ever, could only carve out two runs and the two-run deficit led to Sanders’ first loss of the sea- A HIT FOR THE HALFBACK Ag-gie outfielder Bob Long bangs out a and White’s 5-4 win over Texas Luthem single in the sixth inning of the Maroon at Travis Park Monday night.

The Maroon and White are now 4-5 in the SWC wtih TCU extending their conference slate to 6-3 and second place in the league. Friday and Saturday, the Ag gies will get a chance to patch up their leaking conference ship with a two-game home stand against Southern Methodist, which is now in third place just ahead of the Aggies. •: ■ "V : ! :' ;!i!!l!P!i!!lil Can an engineer find a good spot with United Air Lines?
