Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 20, 1970 THE BATTALION Ags Invade Dallas Knowing Each Game A‘ Must It’s hard to feel secure under 30 and other tragedies of college life. Getting hip to the reality that you’re not going to be in school forever can be a bad experience. That’s why it pays to plan for the future now. Invest in a life insurance program that can provide the foundation for a solid financial structure. Provident Mutual has a program carefully designed for college students. The earlier you start, the less it costs. And the more security you’ll have a chance to build. So stop by our office today. Or give us a call. And if you end up talking to an over 30, don’t be surprised when he empathizes. Mainly because he had to get hip to the same reality. M By Richard Campbell Battalion Sports Editor Forced to win them all now, the Texas Aggies take a three- game winning streak to Moody Coliseum in Dallas tomorrow night at 8 in hopes of making the Southern Methodist Mustangs their fourth victim. With Rice perched atop the Southwest Conference shooting match with an 8-2 mark, the 6-4 Aggies cannot afford to lose any more games if they hope to have a shot at repeating their title. The Cadets are now tied with Tech and TCU, both of whom lost Saturday night. The Mustangs are in seventh place in the league with a 3-7 mark but after a dismal start are beginning to pick up their feet a little. Saturday night they de feated Baylor 70-66 and Coach Bob Prewitt feels they are fi nally starting to play up to their capabilities. Gene Phillips is about all the 1970 Ponies have had to boast about because he is the leading scorer in the conference and one of the better point-producers in the nation. The lanky 6-4 string- bean carries a 28.2 average for the year and also leads the Mus tangs in rebounding with an 8.1 per game mark. The Houston Jones junior needs but five points against the Aggies to take over the number seven scoring slot in SMU history. This matchup will be the sec ond of the year between the two clubs and the Aggies took the first contest in College Station 84-74, before a regional televi sion audience in the second game of a SWC doubleheader. Mike Heitmann, the Aggies’ 6-4 cap tain, was the leading scorer with 27 points while Steve Niles had 18, Jeff Watkins 11, and Chuck Smith and Bill Cooksey 10 each. All five of the Ponies hit double Denny McLain Suspended For Bookmaking Activities Talk With GORDON RICHARDSON He's An Empathizer (713) 567-3165 PROVIDENT MUTUAL=I= LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA By The Associated Press Ordinarily the signing of one of the game’s mightiest sluggers for $250,000 would dominate the baseball news of the day. Unfortunately for Hank Aar on, the signing of his two-year pact with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday came on the same day that Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspended Denny McLain, star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. iMcLain, a 31-game winner in 1968, was suspended by the com missioner for his “involvement in 1967 bookmaking activities and his associations at that time.” It dominated conversation in the various spring training camps. The 36-year-old Aaron, who has 554 career home runs and a total of 2,956 hits, said at the signing that “we have the best club of any Braves team since the early ’50s and we could very well go all the way.” The Braves won the West Di vision title in the National League last season, but lost to the New York Mets in the play offs. At Tucson, Ariz., pitchers for the Cleveland Indians were sent through a three-mile marathon that will become a daily ritual to help build stamina in the hurlers. Outfielder Russ Snyder and pitchers Ed Farmer and Lar ry Staab signed with the Indians. At Yuma, Ariz., Manager Pres ton Gomez again sent his San Diego Padres pitchers through a three-hour drill after announcing veteran reliever Jack Baldschun had agreed to terms. Other signings included sec ond baseman Ken Boswell with the world champion New York Mets, pitcher Pete Mikkelsen with the Los Angeles Dodgers, infielder Bob Johnson and out fielder Jose Tartabull with the Oakland Athletics, outfielder Joe Keough with the Kansas City Royals and infielder Tommy Har per with the Seattle Pilots. figures also with Phillips lead ing the pack with 18. Unfortu nately for the Mustangs, Phillips picked up five fouls early in the second half and subsequently log ged very little playing time. SMU will start a relatively in experienced five with the excep tion of Phillips and 6-5 forward Donnie Berg. Guard Bobby Har rison (6-3) is second in the scor ing column for the 1970 Ponies with a 11.9 norm followed by 6-8 center David Miller at 9.9, Berg at 7.9 and 6-3 guard Bobby Rol lings at 4.4. Cooksey at the wings, Niles and Smith at the posts and Pat Kav- anagh at the point. Heitmann is leading the Aggie scoring pack with exactly a 20-point per game output. Niles is next with a 14,8 norm and a 10.8 rebounding av erage with Cooksey at 12.8 and Smith at 11.5 and 8.8 rebounds, Kavanagh has a 8.2 average and leads the team in assists.
