The Horned Frogs are 2-1 in
SWC play thus far with their one
loss coming last Tuesday to the
Rice Owls, the same team that
knocked off the Aggies last. The
Aggies were unable to play Tues
day because of wet grounds.
CHANDLER AND his TCU
counterpart Frank Windegger
hope that the weather man will
be nice tomorrow, as neither team
can afford to lose another game
to the elements.
With the controversial SWC no-
rescheduling rule this season, eve
ry game has to be played. The
Aggies have lost one game as
have the Horned Frogs.
TCU is blessed with probably
the best pitching staff in the con
ference. The staff, headed by do-
everything lefthander Mickey Mc
Carty, includes seniors Bing Bing
ham and Chuck Machemehl.
McCarty brings back bad me
mories to Chandler from last sea
son. The Frogs came back to Bry
an’s Travis Park about this time
last season and McCarty shutout
the Aggies 6-0. If the shutout
wasn’t bad enough, the record 17
men that the Aggies left on base
was.
FORTUNATELY, the Aggies
won’t have to worry about the
6-5 Pasadena senior, he is in
Wichita, Kans. with the SWC bas
ketball champion Frogs where
they will meet Big Eight champ
Kansas State tomorrow night in
the NCAA’s midwest regionals.
Windegger has a capable hand
to handle all these pitchers in
footballer Bill Ferguson. The 6-3
catcher from Corpus Ohristi also
adds a potent bat to the TCU
lineup.
The Aggies have not yet found
the hitting* groove this season.
They are hitting .179 as a team
for the year, with only one regu
lar at .300. That player is versa
tile centerfielder Bob Long. The
all-conference footballer is hitting
an even .300 for the season and
the same in the SWC.
CATCHER JOE Staples leads
the Aggies’ conference h i 11 i n g
with a .375 norm but the Houston
backstop has only a .222 mark for
the full six games played. Right-
fielder Boyd Hadaway, a pitcher,
is hitting at .286 for the season
and .300 in the SWC.
Utility-man Pete Maida has a
.273 and .333 marks for season
and conference respectably.
With the exception of these
four, the rest of the team is either
around or below the .200 mark.
Chandler will most likely se
lect Fish southpaw Doug Rau or
junior righthander Walter Varvel
to start against TCU. This two
some were the only pitchers who
didn’t see action in the Aggies
10-3 setback to Rice last week.
Two weeks from today, TCU
comes here for a Friday-Satur-
day series followed by Missouri
for a two-game set April 1-2.

’68 CHEVROLET
prices start lower than any other
full-size models. Look at it. Chev
rolet’s 4-door sedan is roomier than
any other American car except one
luxury sedan. Drive it. You tell by its
smooth and silent ride that Chevrolet
quality runs deep. Buy it! Get a Chev
rolet instead of a medium-priced name
and you can have, say, power steering,
power brakes and a radio besides!
’68 CHEVELLE
prices start lower than any other
mid-size models. Obviously nothing’s
newer in mid-size cars than Chevelle.
There’s fresh styling, the long-hood,
short-deck look. There are two nimble
footed wheelbases now—both on a
wider, steadier tread. You get big-car
power, big-car ride in a quick-size
package. No wonder Chevelle outsells
everything in its field.
’68 CHEVY II NOVA
prices start lower than any other
economy car so generously sized.
Nova is big enough for a family on va
cation, yet it slips into parking spaces
others pass by. With its new wide
stance and computer-tuned chassis,
Nova rides as silent and steady as cars
costing a lot more, and it comes with
the biggest standard V8 in its field.
Nova’s the not-too-small car.
