THE BATTALION
Twin Win Over Houston
Provides More Ag Records
Texas A&M’s red-hot baseball
team carved a couple more notches
in the record book while taking
a doubleheader from the Uni
versity of Houston Saturday.
The twin wins lifted A&M’s
season record to 23-5 and made
this team the winningest in Aggie
baseball history. The 1951 team,
coached by R. C. Bell, won 21 of
32 games while the 1968 team
posted a 21-7 record.
The victories were No. 200 and
No. 201 for Aggie coach Tom
Chandler, now in his 12th season
at the Aggie helm. In that span
Chandler-coached teams have lost
only 108 games for a .650 winning
percentage.
But the season is far from over
for the Aggies. The most im
portant part is yet to come with
two big Southwest Conference
series on tap. The TCU Horned
Frogs come to Kyle Field for a
three-game set Friday and Satur
day. Friday’s twinbill will start
at 1:30 p.m. with Saturday’s
single game going at 2 p.m.
Chris Sans A Good Bet
For All-SWC Honors
When it comes time for All-
Southwest Conference selections,
there ought to be a spot for Texas
A&M first baseman Chris Sans.
The sophomore lefty has a couple
of streaks which are pretty fair
credentials.
Sans was on a 13-game hitting
binge until Saturday against
Houston, and it is probably no
coincidence that the Aggies won
all 13 of those games. Sans has
driven in some key runs in A&M’s
23-6 season record and 11-0 SWC
mark. The Houston Lee product
knocked in two runs in a 3-2 de
cision over Rice, then came back
the next day to drive in two more
in a 4-2 victory.
His average is .337 wtih one
double, two triples and three home
runs.
But Chris’ other streak is per
haps more important. He has not
committed an error in the last 18
ball games, a span which includes
125 chances. He has also had a
hand in 17 doubleplays.
Sans gave an indication of his
potential in an unusual freshman
season which saw him play in 24
of A&M’s 26 games without start
ing a single contest. Chris had
the misfortune of playing behind
the team’s second leading hitter
and run producer, Boyd Hadaway.
Sans got to bat only 41 times and
had nine hits for a .220 average.
But as a defensive replacement
he committed one error in 84
chances.
The 5-11, 180-pounder pitched
in three games last year without
giving up an earned run.
This year coach Tom Chandler
shifted Hadaway to rightfield to
make room for Sans, and it’s a
move he hasn’t regretted. “Chris
is about as good a little ballplayer
as you would want to see,” Chand
ler says. “He’s good with the
glove and good with the stick and
can hit the long ball. Another big
thing is that he hits lefthanders
as good as righthanders. Chris is
just one fine ballplayer.”
With A&M’s phenomenal pitch
ing (1.35 staff ERA), hitting and
defense were crucial for a good
season. Sans has supplied a fair
amount of both, at least an all
conference amount.
The Aggies have an 11-0 record
in conference play and will prob
ably have to sweep the TCU series
to keep a half-game lead over
Texas. A&M and the Longhorns
meet in the season finale May 7-8
in Austin.
Chandler will start junior lefty
Doug Rau in the first game
against the Frogs. Rau has an
8-0 record this season with an
0.29 earned run average. Dave
Benesh, 6-2 and 1.58, will start
the second game. Bruce Katt, a
sophomore lefty wtih a 3-0 record,
will probably start the third game.
The probably Aggie batting
order with averages:
Butch Ghutzman (.292), 2b;
R. J. Englert (.420), If; Dave
Elmendorf (.272), cf; Billy Hodge
(.381), c; Boyd Hadaway (.286),
rf; Chris Sans (.337), lb; Jim
Raley (.233), ss; Danny Ragland
(.235), 3b.

What A&M team has gone
through three seasons undefeated
and won three straight national
championships ?
That is the record of the A&M

fans will have an opportunity to
see the reason for such over
whelming success when the Fish
marchers perform at halftime of
the Maroon-White game May 9
in Kyle Field.
The Fish Drill Team just

perfect season with a victory in
the Lone Star Drill Competition
at San Antonio’s Trinity Uni
versity. The unit also won its
own invitational meet and the
Scabbard and Blade Meet at the
Universtiy of Texas at Austin.
The highlight, though, was the
third straight national title at
the Intercollegiate ROTC Drill
Championships in Washington,
D. C. The Fish were the first
team to ever win it twice in a
row last year.
The team is commanded by
Beverly S. Kennedy of Austin.
The most impressive thing about
the unit’s record is that the team
membership changes completely
every year.
The drill team also performed
at last year’s Maroon and White
game and were a big hit with the
fans.
The annual spring game is
slated for 2:30 p.m., May 9.
Tickets are now on sale at the
athletics business office at A&M
The Rubgy Club of A&M de
feated the University of Texas,
49 to 0, Saturday before a massive
crowd as the Aggies mounted an
awesome attack against the visi
tors from Austin.
The match concluded the regu
lar season for the Aggies, who
have become known as the Wild
Bunch due to their aggressive
play. With the season completed
the Ags have attained a 9-4-1
overall record and five of the
victories have been shutouts with
the score against Texas being the
highest point total ever amassed
by the Ags.
The Aggies scored early in the
opening minutes of the match,
and were never threatened after
wards. Many members of the
squad repeatedly crossed the goal
line with ease.
Earlier in the week, a spokes
man for the Longhorns stated
that they were going to beat A&M
so bad that the Ags would not
come out for the second half. The
halftime score was 36-0 as the
locals carried the first half.
In the series between the two
universities, the Aggies hold the
scoring edge at 111 to 34. The
Texans have the match lead at
3 to 2.
Table Tennis Meet
A football game in Kyle Field
wouldn’t be complete without the
Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band, even
if it is just Aggies vs. Aggies.
The pride of Aggieland, all 270-
some strong, will be in the stands
when the annual Maroon-White
game gets under way May 9. The
band will not perform at halftime
since the Fish Drill Team
has that spot, but the band will
play throughout the spring game
Col. E. V. Adams, band direc
tor, says the game will present
an opportunity to “get some of the
new off” the drum majors for
next fall.
The game is scheduled for 2 :30
p.m. Tickets are now on sale at
the athletic business office in G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
A special table tennis tourna-
menti s on tap Friday at 7 p.m.
