THE BATTALION
Ags Split With SMU
The Aggies and Southern
Methodist played to a stalemate
this past weekend as they split
Friday and Saturday games at
Travis Park.
FRIDAY NIGHT, the Mus
tangs’ Mike Livingston stifled the
Aggies on one hit and led SMU
to a 6-0 win. Saturday, the
Aggies came back and topped the
Ponies 6-3 behind an eight-hit
attack.
In both games, the first three
innings told the story. After SMU
had wrapped up Friday night’s
game with all their runs in the
first three innings, the Aggies
did the same thing on Saturday.
Rocky Thompson started Fri
day’s game and finished up for
Bob Sanders in the Saturday
game. Thompson was treated
rather roughly by the Mustang
batters in his 2 Vs innings on Fri
day. Walter Varvel came to his
aid in the third and, after one
more run scored, closed the door
the rest of the day.
Spring Sports
Aggie Golfers Close In
On Conference Title
The Texas Aggie golfers virtu
ally sewed up the Southwest Con
ference golf championship Friday
as they defeated the second-place
Arkansas Razorbacks 51/2-’/a in
Fayetteville.
The win lifted A&M‘s confer
ence record to 24V / 2 -5!/2 and
dropped Arkansas to 19-17.
The clincher in Friday’s
matches came as the Aggies’ John
Buffin chipped in for an eagle
three on the 16th green.
Arkansas’ Tommy Howard,
playing Buffin, had placed his
third shot on the 16th green with
in easy putting distance of a
birdie. Buffin holed out from
about 20 feet and eventually beat
Howard 1-up.
The eagle by Buffin also pro
vided the margin of victory in
the best ball match in the lower
foursome, with Buffin and Terry
Archer defeating Howard and
Mike McCutheon 1-up.
Archer fired a two-under-par
68 for medalist honors.
The golfers are in action to
day at Houston for a match with
the Rice linksters.
TENNIS
The A&M netters defeated the
Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks
6-1 on the Aggie courts Thurs
day, fell to the Trinity Tigers
5-1 on the same courts Friday
and then were defeated by the
Baylor Bears 5-1 in Waco Satur
day.
Against SFA Pete Faust, Joe
Tillerson, Marcus Beleck and
Terry Smith won single matches.
Faust and Tillerson took the
number one doubles match and
Beleck and Smith won the num
ber two match.
In the Baylor matches Faust
and Tillerson came through with
theonly Aggie win as they took
the doubles match 6-4, 0-6, 6-4.
The win for Baylor kept them
in the running for the Southwest
Conference title wtih a record of
21-9.
The Aggie Fish defeated the
Baylor Cubs 4-0.
The Aggies host the University
of Houston net team today. Their
final conference match comes Fri
day when they play the Texas
Christian Horned Frogs.
Livingston was very effective
as the Aggie bats could not find
any hits, save a fourth-inning
triple by Joe Staples. The Mus
tang pitcher struck out 10 Aggies
en route to his fifth conference
win.
VARVEL PITCHED well in
finishing up, giving up only two
hits as he stopped the Mustangs
from any further scoring.
It was a different story on
Saturday afternoon. The Aggie
nine jumped on SMU’s Bob Flint
in the first inning and tallied
four times and sent Flint to the
showers.
Mike Arrington started off the
Aggies first at-bat Saturday with
a walk and was forced by a Bob
Arnold ground ball. After Lou
Camilli walked Pat Rozypal plat
ed Arnold with the first run. A
walk to Staples and a single by
Chuck Malitz followed and the
Aggies had two runs. A combi
nation of an infield out and an
error scored the other two runs.
Malitz then greeted Flint’s
successor, Chuck Fifield, with a
two-run home run in the second
inning and the game was out of
reach for the Mustangs.
SMU tried to get back in the
ball game as home runs accounted
for their three tallies, but they
weren’t enough.
AS A RESULT of the two-
game split, the Aggies Southwest
Conference title hopes are in a
precarious position. They now
occupy fourth place in the SWC
race with a 5-6 record. They are
15-9 overall.
After the weekend conference
action, Texas is still in first
place, but losing to Texas Chris
tian on Saturday leaves the Long
horns just a game ahead of the
Horned Frogs with 8-3 and 7-4
records, respectively.
Their next action will be at
Waco this weekend with a two-
game set with the Bears on Fri
day and Saturday.

Offense Trailing Defense
After Week Of Training

:
It was the defense three and
the offense one after Saturday’s
spring practice football scrim
mage in Kyle Field.
With the ball set at the 20-
yard line the first team offense
tried four series of downs before
they finally got the ball across
the goal line against the first
defense.
HEAD COACH Gene Stallings
was pleased with the sixth work
out session of this year’s spring
training and praised the players
for their efforts.
The first team battle of the
offense and the defense was the
main part of the two-hour
session. The defense stopped the
offense with an interception, a
fumble recovery and just stop
ping them cold the other time.
Then, behind the hard-running of
Wendell Housley, the offense
took the ball in on a one-yard
plunge by the all-conference half
back.
Before the first team head-
knocking, the first or “maroon”
offense had run against the sec
ond team defense and looked im
pressive. The “maroon” defense
looked equally good against the
second team or “white” offense.
SATURDAY ended the first
week of training and the foot
ballers have 13 more workouts
after today’s session. All these
workouts will lead up to annual
spring game on May 20 at CqI-
lege Station.
At the end of the first week of
practice, the first team offensive
and defensive units shaped up
this way:
Offense: Jimmy Adams, split
end; Rolf Krueger, strong tackle;
Maurice Moorman, strong guard;
Mike Caswell, center; Ray Morse,
weak guard; Dan Schneider,
weak tackle and Tommy Buck-
man at tight end to complete the
line.
The backfield consisted of Edd
Hargett and Charlie Riggs split
ting the quarterback duties, Tom
my Maxwell was at split wing-
back and Housley along with
Larry Stegent and Bill Sallee
shared the tailbaack spot. Full
back was manned by Ross Brup-
bacher and Sallee.
THE “MAROON” defense saw
