Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, May 5, 1967 THE BATTALION Texas Here For Season Finale By GARY SHERER The Aggie baseballers wind up their ’67 season with a two-game series with the Texas Longhorns today and Saturday at Travis Park. Today’s game begins at 3 p.m. and Saturday’s finale will start at 2 p.m. TEXAS NEEDS just one more win to give them at least a tie for their 41st Southwest Confer- e n c e baseball championship. Coach Bibb Falk’s charges were not supposed to figure in SWC title plans this year, but Falk, in his last year as head man, brought his team to their present 9-4 record and first place. If the Aggies were to beat the Longhorns twice and Texas Chris tian (8-5) should win twice, the title would go to TCU. Southern Methodist (9-6) who finished their season can still figure in the title picture if Texas loses twice and TCU splits. As one can see, Texas doesn’t have the crown on their head yet. The Aggies will hope to reverse an earlier defeat at the hands of Texas, a 5-0 loss at Austin. Coach Tom Chandler plans to go with Rocky Thompson in today’s game and either Bob Sanders, Walter Varvel or Tommy Chiles will get the nod for Saturday. AGGIE PITCHERS will have their hands full. . The Longhorn lineup boasts three hitters over the .300 mark in the SWC. Left- fielder Pat Brown has been car rying on a battle with SMU’s Bill Rainer for the conference batting crown. Brown’s .365 conference mark puts him just behind Rainer for the lead.

Gary Gressett has a 3-3 record for the SWC and has an ERA of 1.98. Three Are Tied For HCI Leader By RONALD THOMPSON HOUSTON, Tex. OP) — George Archer, Frank Beard and Dan Sikes battled a long, wet golf course Thursday to fashion four- under par 67s and tie for the lead after one round of the $115,000 Champions International. Arnold Palmer was right on their trail. All three used the massive greens of the 7,118-yard Cypress Creek course to their advantage, dropping long putts. The mighty Palmer, in a fash ion typical of the way he has become golf’s all-time money win ner, fought back from two dou ble bogies to trim out a three- under 68, one stroke off the pace. He tied with South African Har old Henning. A seven-iron shot on the par 4 No. 15 plopped into the hole from about 145 yards for an eagle. “It fell about four feet short,” Palmer said, “and just jumped right in.” Palmer, defending champion here, had just hooked a tee shot into the lake on the hole before for one of his double bogies. Jack Nicklaus, who is having his troubles on the tour this year, soared to a 77, blaming his iron game on his difficulty. The course, soggy from sev eral days of scattered showers, stood up well. Only 13 of the star-studded field of 99 broke par. The field includes all the tour’s leading money winners. Lm ^^11! MmMm SURROUNDED!

Sports Happenings BOBBY COLLECTS FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. hP> — Bobby Richardson, who retired as New York Yankee second base- man last fall, says the book which he wrote almost two years ago has sold 30,000 copies. It is understood he received $10,000 in commission on the book’s sales. He hopes to interest his pub lisher in selling the book in Japan where he will appear this spring as part of Billy Graham’s Crusade. STILL CLEANING UP BALTIMORE <A>) _ Trainer Eddie Neloy, who saddled horses which won a record $2,456,250 in 1966, began his racing career as a dishwasher in a track kitchen. Five colts trained by Neloy for the Wheatley Stable have been nominated for the 1967 Preakness. They include Suc cessor, the 21year-old champion of last year. Bold Monarch, Great Power, Top Bid and Disciplin arian. BARBER IS OFF DUTY FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (JP) — President Mike Burke of the Yankees often is kidded about his full crop of graying hair. When asked if he needed a haircut while on the field during a Yankee workout he replied: “My barber is in Rome.” FOR YOUR BOOKS SHAFFER’S North Gate The Aggies should face Moore and Gressett in the two games. Thompson was the victim of two Longhorn home runs earlier this year in a game played at Austin’s Clark Field with the in famous stone fence. CHANDLER HAS two lineups planned for the series. If Texas starts a right-hander, the Maroon and White slate will read Mike Arrington, leading off, Bob Ar nold batting second followed by Lou Camilli and Pat Rozypal. Joe Staples will bat fifth with Bob Long, Chuck Malitz and Richard Backest finishing up the order. Chandler will insert Rick Schwaidz for Arnold and Pete Maida for Malitz if a left-hander is on the mound. Staples continues to be the Ag gies’ lone .300 hitter with Mike Arrington in the .290’s. Hitting has not been the Aggie forte this year but they have been able to capitalize on their opponents mistakes for a lot of their wins. The Aggies have a season mark of 16-10-1 with the tie coming against Missouri. Texas is 15-8 for the season and also will be winding up their season with the two game set. 1 ivc BROKEN PASS Linebacker Robert Cortez, breaks up a pass in Thursday’s spring training workout wh going through defense-against-passing drills.

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Chyrch, neither democ racy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend ser vices regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and na tion. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Today even kindergarten children study current events — they learn about faraway places and people. When they reach Martha’s grade, children are extremely knowing about what’s going on in other parts of the world. They soon discover that children in some countries have few clothing and toys — and even more important, food. Being human, our young Ameri cans want to help. And they can! They can help clothe and feed the needy. In church, they will develop their natural generous impulses and will learn to grasp the values of selflessness and love. Children need special preparation for life in our jet world. This means being in tune with the new, but it also means reaffirming the old. Children need to be taught the basic truths of life, the real values, so that in chaotic moments they will still be able to keep their feet planted firmly on the path of faith. Martha is getting the kind of preparation she needs. Is your child equally lucky?
