Aggieland Recreation Center Redmond Terrace Center College Station, Texas Sports Aplenty Staples Named All-Conference The 1967 Aggie baseball season is over and with a winning record to show for it, the season can be considered a success. Before the season started, the Southwest Conference scribes picked the Maroon and White nine to win only two conference games. The Aggies won seven. They also lost eight league games and finished in fourth place in the final standings. They did this with a weak-hitting ball club, but one that was able to take advantage of the other team’s mistakes and turn this into victory. Catcher Joe Staples was the lone Aggie sticker to finish the year over the .300 level in both full-season and conference figures. Staples, who repeated as all-SWC this year, hit .308 in the SWC and .320 for the year. Mike Arrington and Bob Long were runners-up for season and conference batting with .290 and .250 averages. Arrington led the conference in stolen bases with 15 and the Aggies took the fielding title. We have the latter fact on good authority from the Aggie official scorer who says A&M topped Texas by one percentage point. Staples was also the team RBI leader and was second in total hits. Congrats go out to Coach Tom Chandler and all the players for an enjoyable season and good luck for next year. * * * * The first team defense and offense didn’t face each other in Tuesday night’s spring training workout, but both units were impressive against the respective second team units. In the 14th spring foootball training session, Wendell Housley’s hard running featured the maroon offensive at tack, while the spirited play of the whole maroon defense was in evidence on every play. Paving the way for Housley was the blocking of Maurice Moorman and Rolf Krueger. Of special note on offense, was the down-field blocking of tackle Dan Sch neider. Schneider is looking good at the new position as he had lettered two years at fullback for the Aggies. The workout started at 6 p.m. and ended at 8 with the late start due to the hot day. The team will work out tonight and Thursday or Friday and finish the week with Saturday’s scrimmage. nto to was Dices cW Sec, the' l se * DOOt ■endi BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day pei i) _ Tommy Davis’ llth-inning home run gave the New York Mets a 3-2 victory over Cincinnati Tuesday night.

Clay’s Title Up For Grabs By JACK HAND NEW YORK (A>)_A tentative four-bout schedule for an elimi nation tournament to determine the successor to heavyweight champion Cassius Clay was out lined Tuesday by Michael Malitz, president of a new promoting firm to be known as Sports Action, Inc. In the meantime, there were reports that Clay wants to fight at least three contenders outside the United States while under indictment on a charge of refus- j ing to be drafted into the armed ^ forces. Malitz said previously that seven of eight contenders listed by the New York State Com mission and the World Boxing Association had agreed to par ticipate in the tournel. Only Joe Franzier of Philadelphia was un committed. According to Malitz, a guiding force in many of Clay’s closed circuit television bouts, the ten tative schedule would read like this: July 15—Floyd Patterson of New York vs. Oscar Bonavena of Argentina at Houston Astro dome. Aug. 4-5—Ernie Terrell of Chicago vs. Jimmy Ellis of Louis ville, Ky., site to be determined. Sept. 2 or Sept. 16—George Chuvalo of Toronto vs. Frazier, site to be determined. Sept. 16 or Oct. 7—Karl Mil- denberger. West Germany, vs. Thad Spencer, San Francisco, in Frankfurt, Germany. According to Malitz, the first round matches would be followed by semifinals, hopefully Oct. 21 and Dec. 2 with a final champion ship bout in late January, 1968. No actual contracts have been signed. Malitz said the first six flights probably would be carried on home television on the American Broadcasting Company’s Wide World of Sports. All would be held late Saturday afternoons to fit the schedule or would be held Friday night and taped for tele vision. tfe, 1 DEXTER HAND SEWN MOGS r at 2itm Ijtiunco ^ w men'e me nr TVL M» • U3A*. 1 Mnvlc Supply 'pidu/M. ptOMtfet- JU S*Co1Uj« AvC'BryoiOfctef 1967 VOLKSWAGENS 100% FINANCING To Qualified Seniors Hickman Garrett Motors 1701 S.
