TEXAS 77801 Aggies Host TCU Horned Frogs PiZZI EAST GATE ALL YOU CAN EAT Monday Thur Thursday 5 -7 p. m. — $1.25 SMORGASBORD By Clifford Broyles Battalion Sports Writer As the Southwest Conference baseball race reaches its home stretch only two teams have a shot at the title, but the third and fourth place teams could cause all sorts of problems for those two this weekend. Texas A&M and the Univer sity of Texas at Austin are cur rently undefeated but the Aggies have one more win, eleven, than Texas. Third place Rice and fourth place Texas Christian get their chances at being the giant killer when the Owls play host to the Longhorns and the Horned Frogs visit College Station to play the Aggies. If both fail to knock off the leaders then it goes to the final weekend when the Aggies and Longhorns play for the title and all its benefits in Austin next week. The Aggies series with TCU is scheduled to get underway with a doubleheader Friday at 1:30 p.m. and a single game Saturday while Texas and Rice get-together will feature a pair Thursday and a single game Friday. A&M coach Tom Chandler said, the Frogs main strength is their power hitting offense, which is led by second baseman Dickie Turner and first baseman Jeff Newman. Newman one of the biggest and most dangerous batters in the conference stands 6’3” and weighs in at 215. He hit 3 home runs in a three game series with Baylor earlier this season. Chandler called Jerome Hall the Frogs centerfielder a great defensive ball player and added that third baseman Glen Monroe is an all-around threat. The Frogs also have two of the top pitchers in the conference one of whom ranks with the best, he said. Chandler said that Rod Mona hans is one of the best and Earl Wallace another righthander has two one-thirders this season.

Faculty representatives, the official governing body of the conference, have sessions sched uled Saturday night, all day Sun day and all day Monday. Actions taken during the clos ed sessions will be announced only at a Monday news confer ence by Howard Grubbs, executive secretary. No major problems are on the agenda but James Street, the Texas quarterback who also is a star pitcher for the Longhorn baseball team, may figure direct ly or indirectly in two matters. One agenda item includes con sideration of possibly changing a regulation which permits a stu dent athlete to withdraw from school during a semester while still in good standing scholasti cally and returning the following semester without endangering his athletic eligibility. After the national football championsihp season last fall, Street withdrew from Texas but returned for the spring semester and the baseball season. Another matter involving Street is not on the agenda but Grubbs has said it could be sub mitted by any member of the faculty group. The Baylor faculty athletic council has called for a confer ence inquiry into a rhubarb that developed in a Texas-Baylor base ball game April 17. On a squeeze play, Street and Dutch Schroeder, the Baylor coach, collided and Schroeder was knocked unconscious. Schroeder was rushing to the home plate umpire to protest the squeeze play.

Ace lefthander Doug Rau who has an 8-0 record and a super 0.29 era is having a problem with a blister on his foot but will be ready to start Friday’s first game, Chandler said. Handballers Take Horns The Burke brothers of Texas A&M squared their handball feud with the University of Texas with one of three Aggie successes in the Waco Invitational Meet.
