THE BATTALION
Football In Limelight With Spring Drills
By Richard Campbell
Battalion Sports Editor
Spring is a time of breezes,
rain, lots of baseball and track,
but come next Tuesday, football
again creeps into the picture with
a perview of the 1970 Texas Ag
gie football squad via spring
drills.
With a sophomore club last
year, it is not surprising that
25 of the 29 returning Aggie let-
termen are juniors. Coach Gene
Stallings issued 51 letters last

year so 22 will not be back in
the fall.
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-

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.
Then, such outstanding new
comers off the freshman squad

ton Sam Houston; QB Brad

Golfers Defend SWC Crown
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie golf team
opens defense of its SWC golf
crown against TCU here today
with tee time slated for 1 p.m.
on the A&M golf course.
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.
