Do-Or-Die For Aggies In Austin
Coach Tom Chandler’s Texas
Aggies have already posted their
best season ever, but even that
kind of showing may not be
enough to carry them to the
Southwest Conference title.
A&M, winner of 24, loser of 7,
is in Austin today and tomorrow
needing to beat the powerful Tex
as Longhorns all three games
for the SWC pennant. A shocking
double-shutout loss to TCU last
weekend dropped A&M to 12-2
in conference play while Texas
is 12-0.

senior righthander Dave Benesh

doubleheader. Rau, 8-1 with an
0.26 earned run average, started
the seven-inning opener while
Benesh, 6-3 and 1.55, will start
the 9-inning second game. The
third game starter will come from
Charles Kelley, Bruce Katt or
Hardy Frazier.
Frazier went the distance in a
10-inning 3-2 win over TCU Sat
urday in his first SWC start.
Katt has been bothered by a sore
elbow after winning his first two
outings, one a 19 strikeout per
formance against SMU. Kelley
has worked only in relief, but
has not given up an earned run
in 13% innings while walking
four and striking out 19.
The starting lineup for A&M,
with batting averages:
Butch Ghutzman (.267), 2b;
R. J. Englert (.400), If; Dave El-
mendorf (.270), cf; Billy Hodge
(.359), c; Boyd Hadaway (.277),
rf; Chris Sans (.312), lb; Jim
Company E-2 sacked the soft-
ball championship and Hart Hall
kicked water in everyone’s faces
in dominating Class A and C
swimming in intramural action
this week.
E-2 came from a 7-4 deficit to
defeat Squadron 8, 10-9, in the
championship game. Bob Dietz
knocked in the lead run and
eventual winning margin in the
seventh inning. Pitcher Collier
Watson put down opposing bat
ters in order in the bottom of the
frame to secure the champion
ship.

and Squadron 6 fourth. C-2 fin
ished on top in Class B competi
tion with 46 team points, follow

1970 Spring Game Marks End Of Era
Some 10,000 and upwards of
football fans are expected at
Kyle Field Saturday afternoon
for the Texas A&M Maroon-
White spring football contest
that will mark the end of an era.
It will be the final football
game ever played on natural turf
in the storied stadium on A&M’s
campus.
Next Monday, work is sched
uled to commence for the instal
lation of astroturf on the football
field, surrounded by a tartan
track.
The football game itself shapes
up as a close, hard-hitting con
test with the Maroons favored
slightly.
There isn’t a whole lot to choose
from between the two squads.
Both have good offensive lines,
tough defensive fronts and quick
secondaries.
All of the starters on both
units are in the running for start
ing positions when the Aggies
open fall play against Wichita
State here next Sept. 12.
An added attraction at half
time will be a marching perform
ance by the Fish Drill Team, a
precision marching unit that has
won three straight national cham
pionships.
Also, the famed Aggie Band
will be in the stands and will
play at intervals during the after
noon.
The kickoff is at 2:30 p.m.
Admission wil Ibe $2.50 for
reserve seats and $1.50 general
admission.
Raley (.207), ss; Danny Ragland
(.242), 3b.
The series is the last of the
regular season for both teams.
If Texas wins at least one of
the three games, it will represent
the conference in the NCAA play
offs.
The first game of the series
will probably match the league’s
two top hurlers in Rau and UT’s
James Street. Burt Hooten will
probably go against Benesh in
the second game.
Rugby Letters
, The Rugby Club of A&M made
its annual presentation of letter
awards to outstanding individuals
on the team last week.
Those who received second year
awards were: John Hines, Dale
Odum, Dave Lee, Greg Schwei,

Tony King.
First year awards were pre
sented to: Ron Cole, Ron Nizer,

Longhorns May Leave SWC
AUSTIN (A*)— The University
of Texas indicated Wednesday it
may quit the Southwest Confer
ence because of a series of inci
dents capped by the conference’s
reprimand of football - baseball
star James Street.
Withdrawal of Texas from the
conference of eight state and
state and church schools would be
a tremendous blow to the league’s
prestige.
Texas won the 1969 national
championship in college football,
its second title in seven years,
and appears to be bidding for
national recognition for its entire
athletic program at a time when
some conference schools are hav
ing athletic budget problems.
If the Longhorns withdraw,
possibly to join a “super confer
ence,” it would remove an impor
tant source of financing of sports
in the conference. The confer-

ence’s other schools have gained
$2 million in the past 13 years
from television payments of
Texas games. Schools share such
income.
Because of the Street incident,
“the question of withdrawal has
again been raised. It is more
likely now than in the past, al
though it is certainly not im
minent,” said J. Neils Thompson,
an engineering professor who is
chairman of the university’s ath
letic council.
Street, unbeaten in 20 straight
games as Texas’ quarterback, was
reprimanded and publicly cen
sured by the conference Monday
for what the conference called
“regrettable misconduct and un
disciplined behavior” at an April
18 baseball game against Baylor
University.
Street, also undefeated this
year, as a pitcher, collided with
Baylor baseball coach Dutch
Schroeder following a rundown
between third and home plate
on an unsuccessful squeeze play
by Baylor. Schoeder, coaching at
third base, was rushing to pro-

A&M swimrriing coach Pat Pat

er Tommy Harmon on the Baylor
runner.
Harmon also was reprimanded
and censured.
Street maintained that he did
not “intentionally go after the
coach. I was standing there and
felt he saw me. It really shocked
me when the collision occurred.”
Athletic director Darrell Royal
said he thought the censure was
too strong, but he had no com
ment on the possibility of Texas
leaving the conference.
“We, Texas, have always been
fighting a one-man battle in the
conference,” Thompson said. “As
a result, there has been a ten
dency for this withdrawal to
come up again and again. We
take everything into consider
ation—restrictions on number of
scholarships, for example. There
is not just one thing involved
here.”
University athletic officials
were upset by the decision of
the conference faculty representa
tives to change the method of
deciding golf champions from
stroke play to match play.
Also unsettling was the ap
pointment of a special committee
to study a 25-year-old rule which
permitted Street to withdraw
from school prior to mid-year
final exams and return this se
mester without wiping out his
eligibility to play baseball.
“It would have gone unnoticed
this time had the incident in
volved only a third-string guard,”
one conference official said.
The super conference was men
tioned after Texas, national foot
ball champion in 1963, was put
on probation in 1964 for a series
of recruiting violations. Univer
sity officials felt the school was
penalized as a side effect of a
two-year probation, with sanc
tions, against Southern Methodist
University at the same meeting.
Frank C. Erwin Jr., chairman
of a regents committee selected
in September 1968 to consider
Texas’ relations with the SWC.
That group replaced a 1964 com
mittee which looked into the
question of a super conference
that might include Oklahoma,
Alabama, Texas A&M, Houston,
Arkansas, Louisiana State and
Texas Tech. *
The committee never made any
public recommendations.
