A&M started well as Hardy Frazier, transferred to Aggie- land from Panola Junior Col lege, where he helped pitch the Ponies to the 1969 NJCA cham pionship, blanked the Bearcats for five innings. The Aggie bats were also silenced early in the game by David Berger who zeroed them for four frames before Hodge scored on a single by Dave El- mendorf. Hodge had opened the frame with a double. Elmendorf provided the wea ponry for two more A&M tallies in the sixth with a double that scored Danny Ragland and Hodge. Ragland reached first after being hit by a pitch and Hodge walked. Frazier making his first appearance of the sea son began to tire in the sixth as Sam Houston marked their trio of runs. Royal Dyal pushed the button that destroyed the Aggies’ lead with a bases loaded triple. Paul Czerwinski, another JC transfer, replaced Frazier after that blow and blanketed the Bearkats until he retired for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Sam Houston threatened in the ninth but shortstop Jim Raley put a sudden stop to it with a diving stab of a line drive off the bat of centerfielder Floyd Ciruti. “The play came with two men on and two men out. Had it gone through the Bearcats would have had one and possibly two runs but as it turned out the visitors got nothing but a 5-3 loss and a long trip back to Huntsville. A&M’s winning rally was started by Butch Ghutzman who singled to left with one out. Ragland struck out but Hodge was next and the 6-2 190-pound junior let it all hang out on the first pitch served up by Sam Houston reliever Lewis Boswell. Charles Kelley who worked the ninth for A&M won his first game of the year and avenged a loss he suffered at the hands of the Bearcats earlier in the season. A&M, now 4-2 for the season, opens its 1970 SWC schedule here Friday with a 1:30 p.m. doubleheader against an out standing Baylor nine that is 7-3 for the season.

They let other people do the work. If they have families, they let other people take care of them. Cop-outs scoff at things like finan cial security.

Because the ear lier you start, the less it costs, and the closer you'll be to financial security. So stop by our office today. Or give us a call, and let's talk about all this.
