THE BATTALION
Aggie Nine At Dallas
By GARY SHERER
The Texas Aggie baseball team
takes its Southwest Conference
leading hitting attack into Dallas
this weekend for a three-game
series with Southern Methodist.
Current SWC statistics have
the Aggies hitting at a .280 pace
for their 10 games. However, their
6-4 conference record belies their
hitting prowess. Of course, you
can hit all day, but if you don’t
score runs, you can’t win. Texas,
which presently sits atop the
SWC standings with a 10-4 mark,
also has scored the most runs.
THE CONFERENCE has nar
rowed down to about a four-team
race. But, with the topsy-turvy
developments for which the SWC
is famous, only last place Texas
Tech can be officially eliminated.
MISS
Why do nine out of ten Aggies choose Miss Y?? Would you believe it’s her
corsage from THE FLORAL CENTER. THE FLORAL CENTER, 2920 E. 29th, Bry

CIVILIAN WEEKEND
But, if Texas wins one more
game, SMU and Rice can forget
about the championship.
The four teams that do have
definite chances are Texas, Texas
Christian, Baylor and the Aggies.
Following Texas in the stand
ings is TCU at 8-5 and then the
Aggies, followed by Baylor at
5-5. The Aggies and Baylor have
a little advantage as they have
more games to play then TCU
and Texas.
TCU COMPLETES their SWC
season against Tech next week
end, following their games with
Baylor today and Saturday. Fin
ally Texas meets Rice this week
end and winds up with the Ag
gies May 10-11.
Whether each team has 18
games at the end of the season,
is questionable. Texas will, be
cause they have four remaining
to play and have played 14. The
Aggies will only have 17 played,
as they lost one game with Bay
lor to the weather and the silly
SWC no-rescheduling rule. TCU
has 13 played and four remaining,
they will probably have 17 also.
Baylor may have less than any
team as they have six games re
maining, according to the sched
ule.
Whatever happens, it looks like
it will be a race down to the
wire, much like the 1966 title
scramble. SWC fans will remem
ber that was the year of the four
way tie between just the same
four teams that are in the run
ning this season.
GETTING BACK to the Ag
gies’ hitting, they also have the
league’s leading hitter in Joe
Staples. The Aggie catcher is
hitting at a .448 pace. Dave Elm-
endorf, Bob Arnold and Terry
Dailey are also in the top ten
SWC hitters and are 6-7-8 re
spectively.

The phenomenal Ryun tested
an injured leg for the first fa
