The four seniors are All-Ameri ca candidate Dave Elmendorf at safety, defensive tackle Dale Watts, defensive guard Winston Beam, who missed last season because of knee surgery, and Jim my Sheffield, a punter and quar terback last year who will be tried at wide receiver this spring. Finding a quarterback before the fall grid wars begin again looms as the biggest problem on the A&M horizon because both of last year’s signal callers will not be around to take charge. Rocky Self, the final starter for the Cadets last year, is out for base ball as a pitcher and will not even make a bid for the slot. Sheffield has been moved to split end after Sixth-Ranked Ags Invade Dallas Texas A&M’s sixth-ranked base ball team returns to Southwest Conference action this weekend, and coach Tom Chandler hopes his squad can hang on to the spark which ignited them for a 17-hit showing against Missouri. The Aggies visit SMU in Dallas Friday and Saturday with a 9-4 record after splitting a double- header with Minnesota and taking two of three from Missouri. The Aggies are 2-0 in SWC play, sweeping a doubleheader with Baylor earlier in the season. The Mustangs stand 1-5 in league play and 2-14 for the sea son, but Chandler doesn’t under rate the Ponies. “SMU has a pair of lefthanded pitchers who can beat you any time, and lefties have been tough on us,” Chandler said. The Aggie coach credits a fine pitching staff for A&M’s success thus far. Aggie hurlers have a combined earned run average of 1.74 and the opposition batting average is .176. A&M’s hitting hasn’t been overpowering, but the hatters have come up with enough hits at the right time. Catcher Billy Hodge is the leading regular with a .351 average, but R. J. Englert, a newcomer to the starting nine, is hitting .500. Chandler said that junior lefty Doug Rau (0.35 ERA) will pitch the first game of Friday’s double- header. Rau has a 3-0 record. Senior righthander Dave Benesh (2-2, 1.44 ERA) will start the second game. Friday’s twinbill starts at 1 p.m. Sophomore lefty Bruce Katt will start for the Aggies Saturday. Katt has a 1-0 record and a 2.40 ERA. The batting order will have Butch Ghutzman (.304) at sec ond, Englert in left, Dave Elmen dorf (.292) in center, Hodge catching, Boyd Hadaway (.268) in right, Chris Sans (.256) at first base, Jim Raley (.200) at short stop, and Danny Ragland (.255) at third base. losing his starting job to Self after the first three games last year. So only junior Joe Mac King, who lettered last season as a placement holder, and soph omores Lex James and Brad Dusek will be in contention for the most important position along with squadman Kyle Gary. There will be six vacancies on the offensive side for the Aggies and a like number on the defen sive unit, so several of the out standing freshmen will get a chance for starting berths. The offensive starters from 1969 missing include ends Jimmy Adams and Ross Brupbacher, guard Jim Parker, center Jack Kovar, tailback Larry Stegent, and wingback Barney Harris. The defensive starters missing are ends Jim Piper and Mike DeNiro, tackle Billy Bob Bar nett, guard Lynn Odom, and line backer Buster Adami and Mike Caswell. There are some quality candi dates around to battle for those positions, however. In addition to the 29 lettermen, there are some outstanding squad- men returning. They include full back Doug Robbins, 6-0, 210, Am arillo Tascoa; wide receiver Hugh McElroy, 5-8, 165, Houston Worthing; linebacker Andy Tewell, 6-2, 205, Austin McCal- lum; defensive end Clifton Thom as, 6-4, 225; Tidehaven; defensive end James Dubcak, 6-6, 225, Gid- dings; offensive tackle John Cun ningham, 6-0, 250, San Antonio and defensive guard Lenard Mill- sap, 6-0, 209, Fredericksburg.

Two members of last year’s champs are back for another shot at victory, as seniors Duke Butler and Richard Ellis return. Bill Wade who placed second in the SWC Individual Golf championships graduated and Reggie Majors who placed ninth is scholastically ineligible. Coach Henry Ransom feels that this team could be better than last year’s winners that nudged runnerup Texas by 2% matches. Steve Veriato, an Air Force veteran who is a freshman is the third member of the squad and the fourth member has not yet been selected, Ransom said. Six players are playing 72 holes to see who wins the fourth spot. Through Wednesday, 54 holes had been played and Tommy Johnson, a freshman from Harlingen, was leading the group. Tommy Shelton, a sophomore from College Station and a re turning letterman is one stroke behind Johnson with one round to go. Ellis played on SWC champion ship teams in 1967 and 1969 and the Pampa senior placed fourth in the individual, tournament last year only 8 strokes behind the medalist winner, Rick Massengale of Texas. mann, 6-0, 200, Seguin; tacklt Butch Kamps, 6-3, 240, Houston Bellaire; tailback Vance Kerbon, 6-1, 205, Corpus Christi Flom Bluff; tight end Homer May, $-2, 200, Lubbock Monterey; Boici Best, 6-1, 225, tackle, Houston St. Thomas; LB Bruce Best, 6-1, 225, Houston St. Thomas; centei Robert Gerasimowicz, 6-2, 225, Dickinson; tackle Gary Martin, 6-0, 220, Houston St. Thomas, and end Ralph Sacra, 6-5, 23(1, Houston Jesuit.
