Coach Tom Chandler’s Aggie
baseball team is in Waco today
playing Baylor in the Maroon
and White’s second Southwest
Conference game of the young
season.
Saturday afternoon at Bryan’s
Travis Park, the Aggies started
the SWC season out right with
a 1-0 decision over the Texas
Longhorns.
Righthander Rocky Thompson
came within two outs of logging
a complete game shutout. He
gave way to Bob Sanders when
the Longhorns got a man on
base in the ninth inning.
Before the ninth, Thompson
had been in a real pitching duel
with Texas’ starter and losing
pitcher Jack Street.
Street and Thompson had been
matching out-for-out for six inn
ings. Then, in the bottom of the
seventh, Aggie centerfielder Bob
Long (who has had previous ex
perience at beating the Long
horns) led off with a single.
Four pitches later, Long took
off for second in a steal attempt.
Longhorn catcher Tommy Har
mon’s throw was off target and
ended up in center field. Long
jumped up from his slide and
went on to third, as he beat the
relay throw from the outfield.
The next batter, first-year out
fielder Dave Elmendorf from
Houston, put the Texas leftfielder
back against the fence with a
fly ball and Long came in to
score.
As it turned out, this was to
be all the scoring in the game.
Thompson was in control all the
way until he faltered in the
ninth.
Longhorn third baseman Den
nis Kasper reached base on an
Aggie error and then moved to
second on a sacrifice bunt by cen
terfielder Jack Miller. At this
point, Chandler removed Thomp
son in favor of Sanders.
The first batter to face the
Aggie reliefer was catcher Har
mon, who led tlv* Longhorn hit
ting attack with two singtes.
Harmon grounded out to Aggie
first-sacker Eddie Vaughn and
Kasper moved to third.
Street was the next-scheduled
batter but first-year Longhorn
Coach Cliff Gustafson chose to
go with a pinch hitter. George
Nauret, last year’s Texas right-
fielder, was the choice but San
ders gloved a ball hit right back
to him and with the ensuing
throw to Vaughn the game
ended.
Fish outfielder Boyd Hadaway
(also a pitcher) led the Aggie
hitting attack with two of the
safeties banged out by the Ma
roon and White. Long, Elmen
dorf, catcher Joe Staples, second
baseman Richard Backrest and
third sacker Terry Dailey also
contributed hits in the Aggies’
first home action.
After today’s game, the next
action for the Maroon and White
will be at Houston this weekend.
The Aggies will play the Hous
ton Cougars Saturday in a 2:30
p.m. match. The next home game
will be a week from today (Mar.
12) against Southern Methodist.

Garden Crowd
Sees Benvenuti,
Frazier Triumph
NEW YORK UP) _ Nino Ben
venuti, a 2-1 underdog, sent
Emile Griffith spinning to the
canvas with a thunderous left
hook in the ninth round and then
continued to hammer away at his
dazed opponent for a unanimous
15-round decision Monday night
that sent the world’s middle
weight boxing championship back
to Italy.
It was a close bout that ended
in high drama, with the Italian’s
legs weary and wobbling under
Griffith’s furious fusillade in the
final seconds, while a crowd of
18,000 in the new Madison Square
Garden rocked the rafters with a
resounding tribute.
Griffith finished gamely, scor
ing with terrific shots in the fin
al round, but Benvenuti refused
to go down.
A 'A A
NEW YORK UP) — Tigerish
Joe Frazier connected with a
short, thunderous left hook in
the closing minute of the 11th
round to stop king sized Buster
Mathis and win a four-state
piece of the wox-ld heavyweight
title Monday night at Madison
Square Garden.
uiThe punch sent the bloodied
giant from Grand Rapids, Mich.,
on his back over the bottom
strand of the ropes.
Mathis barely staggered to his
feet at nine but referee Art Mer-
cante immediately halted the
fight at 2:33 of the 11th of the
scheduled 15-rounder.
