Sports Aplenty
Of Ties
And Things
By GARY SHERER
J
The hectic Southwest Conference race has narrowed
down to (maybe) four teams after Tuesday night’s action.
The four an dthree-way ties that had existed for second
place in the past two weeks exist no longer. Now, Texas
Christian sits all alone in second place at 6-5 while a three-
way deadlock has formed for the lead spot.
Baylor’s loss to Southern Methodist, coupled with the
Aggies and Texas wins, puts the Bears, Aggies and Texas
at 7-4. We took a quick look at the SWC history book and
found that never in conference history has a team won the
conference outright with more than three losses.
There have been ties for the title with four and five
losses. The last tie for the title occurred in 1965 when SMU
and Texas finished at 10-4 (this is technical as Texas Tech
finished 12-2 but were disqualified because of an ineligible
player).
In 1958, Arkansas and SMU deadlicked with 9-5 records
while in 1950 and 1951 there were final ties with four losses.
So, a tie looks like a distinct possibility. And, included
in these possibilities is a four, three or two-way tie. The
basketball season has come down to the same predicament
that the football race was at after eightt games had been
played.
The Aggies eliminated any chance of ties by winning
the rest of their games and not relying on someone beating
somebody else.
Now, what the the Aggie basketballers chances to re
peat the football teams performance. Simple, win all of
their games.
A comparison of schedules really doesn’t favor any of
the four contenders. The Aggies have two tough road trips
coming up, at TCU and Tech. They finish the season at
home with SMU.
TCU though having five losses still has a chance and
after a closer look it becomes a good chance, as two out of
three of their remaining games are at home. The Frogs
finish the season at Baylor. However, home advantage or
not, the eFrogs have to play the other three contenders.
The leaders however, have only one contender to play (TCU).
Baylor, who had a good lead a couple of weeks ago,
now looks the least likely to make a title tie. Their next
two games will be on the road, at Tech and Arkansas. They
then finish at home against TCU. The Frogs can tell the
Bears that back-to-back trips to Lubbock and Fayetteville
are tough. The nights of Jan. 30 and Feb. 3 will attest to
the Frogs knowledge (TCU lost road games to Tech and
Arkansas on those dates).
Texas had two straight road games (SMU and TCU)
and then they also finish at home with Arkansas.
Now, if TCU were to win all their remaining games and
the three leaders two out of three, a four-way tie would
develop.
The 1966 SWC baseball season did end in a four-way
tie. The same teams that are involved in this season’s
basketball race all had their baseball teams end in a four
way deadlock for the title. What happened? Texas went
to the NCAA Regional because they won of all things, a coin
flip.
The reason for the decision was an academic one. A
SWC rule says no contest can be scheduled after final ex
aminations had started, thus the hurry up coin flip. Fortu
nately, this system has been changed.
In the event that the basketball race ends up in a
three or four-way tie, a playoff would be scheduled. The
SWC conference representative does not play its first game
in the NCAA Regionals until March 15 (the tourney begins
March 9.), so there would be enough time for a playoff.
If a two-way tie develops, a playoff would be held if
the teams involved had split their two games. If one of the
two had won both the games against the other, that team
would automatically qualify.
If the Aggies tie with Texas for the title, a bid would
go to the Maroon and White as they beat Texas twice this
season. If Baylor is tied with the Aggies there would have
to be a playoff.
So, this is how it stands in the latest chapter of the
zany SWC. Coach Metcalf said after the game Tuesday
night, that anything can happen.
He’s right.

Aggie Nine Starts Season Friday
By GARY SHERER
As George Washington couldn’t
tell a lie, neither can Aggie Head
Baseball Coach Tom Chandler.
“We haven’t had a chance to
work much outdoors so it’s hard
to say where we are right now,”
Chandler says in discussing the
status of his team.
THE AGGIES open their sea
son Friday afternoon with a
doubleheader with Pan-American
at Edinburg. They will follow up
with a single game with the
same team on Saturday.
The name of the game in base
ball is pitching, and Chandler,
starting his ninth year at the
baseball helm, has a nucleus of
three mound returnees.
Senior Rocky Thompson from
Houston was the workhorse of
last year’s 17-11 squad. Thomp
son, who transferred here from
Kilgore JC, appeared in 14 out
of 15 conference games.
The other two seasoned arms
are righthanders Bob Sanders
from Houston and Walter Varvel
from College Station. Varvel,
though appearing in spots last
season, showed good control and
should step into a full time start
ing role. Sanders was the top
reliefer on the team last season
and towards the end of the year,
the Bellaire product got a few
starting calls.
“WE DON’T know how the
pitchers have developed because
of our nractice problem,” Chand
ler said. He hopes that three
pitchers un from the Fish squad
can help the mound corps. Two
righthanders, Dave Larson and
Dave Bemish, along with south-
naw Boyd Hadaway, will get a
good look this season.
Chandler isn’t worried about
the other half of the battery,
catching, as last season’s All-
SWC catcher Joe Staples is back.
Staples, another Houston prod-
Rice Foes
Seeing Double
HOUSTON. OP)—Darrell Hal-
loran, a Rice University fresh
man, may have set some sort of
a Southwest Conference record
Tuesday when he competed in
both baseball and basketball.
Halloran, a former Houston St.
Pius star, collected a double and
made two putouts as the Rice
University baseball team defeated
Houston Baptist College, 8-4.
Just one hour after the base
ball game Halloran was on the
university’s basketball court and
scored six points as the freshman
team defeated Wharton Junior
College, 73-59.
Under a new NCAA rule that
became effective with spring
sports, freshmen are now eligible
to compete in all varsity sports
except football and basketball.
Halloran faces a similar sched
ule Thursday when the varsity
baseball team meets Houston
Baptist again in the afternoon
and the freshman basketball team
plays Lamar Tech at night.
Cowboyslnks
Ivy Leaguer
DALLAS. — The Dallas
Cowboys of the National Football
League signed their second free
agent quarterback of the current
recruiting season Wednesday.
He is 6-1 Bill Creeden of the
University of Pennsylvania.
A Cowboy spokesman said
Creeden was the Ivy League’s
leader in total offense during his
junior year.
Creeden weighs 190 pounds.
AstroFacts
Spring training for the Houston
Astros, which officially opened
last week at Cocoa, Fla., will be
a little like the regular season—
the Astros will be working indoors
as well as outdoors.
To help assure that time won’t
be lost if the Florida weather
should happen to go bad, the “in
doors” motif has been developed.
Two batting machines have
been completely enclosed, so that
the hitters can work even in case
of rain. And the training camp’s
recreation room has been covered
with Astroturf, so that the pitch
ers can still throw even if the-
weather is inclement.
uct, has made all conference in
his two years on the Aggie var
sity and Chandler is counting on
a third.
Two junior college transfers
will lineup at first and third.
Eddie Vaughn, a JC All-America
from Odessa JC, will start at first
Friday. At third will be Terry
Daley, a transfer from Blinn JC.
Shortstop is between Jim Raley
and Joey Robbins while last
year’s second baseman, Richard
Backest, returns.
THE STRONG point of the
team, along with catching, should
be the outfield. The first three
fy-chasers look good. Footballer
Bob Long returns to start in
centerfield. Long started off
slowly last year but came on
strong in the last half of the
season. Junior Pete Maida will
be the leftfielder. The Beaumont
product had some good games
last season. Now with one season
under his belt, he should perform
well.
The other spot, right field, will
go to first year man Dave Elmen-
dorf. With the new SWC ruling,
a freshman can compete in every
varsity sport except football and
basketball. Elmendorf, here on a
football scholarship and one of
the top performers on last sea
son’s Fish grid squad, is also a
fine baseball player. Chandler
hopes he can come through in his
first season of college varsity
play.
PROSPECTS for the team
right now are unknown with the
lack of outdoor workouts. The
keys of course are pitching and
hitting. Chandler hopes they will
be adequate and come on fast,
as the first conference game will
be March 2 against Texas here
at Kyle Field.
