The league-leading Texas Chris
tian Horned Frogs invade Aggie-
land Friday and Saturday for a
two-game series with the Texas
Aggie nine.
Friday’s contest will begin at
3 p.m. at Kyle Field. Saturday
afternoon’s game is scheduled for
a 2 p.m. start, also at Kyle Field.
COACH FRANK Windegger’s
Frogs are currently 5-2 in South
west Conference play and hold a
8-5 overall mark. Aggie Coach
Tom Chandler’s charges hold the
best SWC season mark at 8-4
while the Maroon and White is
2-2 in conference play.
Whether the games will be
played, is still in doubt. The wea
ther man, who has been hard on
SWC athletics this spring, has
predicted rain for the weekend.
TCU has won its last three con
ference games and this has pro
pelled them into the conference
lead. In fact, the last conference
team to beat the Frogs was the
Aggies on Mar. 16. On that date,
tomorrow’s starting pitcher, Rick
Schwartz stopped them 4-1 on a
three-hifter.
SCHWARTZ will be facing all-
SWC basketballer Mickey McCar
ty in Friday’s series opener. Mc
Carty, the SWC’s basketball play
er of the year, will be making his
first start for the Frogs since
joining the team a week and a
half ago.
The 6-5 Pasadena lefthander
was competing with TCU’s con
ference basketball champions in
the NCAA tournament earlier
this month. ,
McCarty has nevertheless made
his presence felt in the lineup.
Since joining the team, he has

been playing first base and has
thus far swung a hot bat. Along
with his competent hitting, he
added a steal of home last week
against Southern Methodist.
Schwartz, a senior from
Brownsville, has turned in some
good performances his last two
times out. He gave up one run
in both the TCU win and the sec
ond game win over Oklahoma
State in last Saturday’s double-
header.

a non-conference baseball game
Wednesday.
The Bearkats, now 9-4 for the
year, broke a 3-3 tie with two
runs in the sixth inning and then
added three more in both the
seventh and eighth.
Mike Holt, Rocky Stevens and
Dale Fincher each had two hits
for the winners. Holt also drove
in three runs.
Jeff Newman with three and
Dick Gage with two accounted
for all five TCU hits off lefty

record to 2-1.
The loss was the fifth against
eight victories for the Horned

series Tuesday.
fielders Dave Elmendorf and Bob
Arnold. Another fly-chaser, Boyd
Hadaway, has been the Aggies’
most consistent hitter all year. It
was the 6-foot sophomore’s single
in the 13th inning of Saturday’s
second game that gave the Ag
gies the 3-2 victory over Okla
homa State.
Hadaway, who is also a pitcher,
is hitting at .321 for the season
and .333 in SWC play.
Saturday’s pitchers haven’t
been set as yet but they will prob
ably be either TCU’s Bing Bing

the Aggies’ Rocky Thompson or
Dave Benesh. w
