Rau unanimous choice 4 Aggies named All-SWC in basebal Four members of the Texas A&M baseball team have been chosen to the 12-man Associated Press All-Southwest Conference baseball team that was selected by the league’s coaches. Lefthander Doug Rau, catcher Billy Hodge, first baseman Chris Sans and leftfielder R. J. Englert were picked to squad with Rau being one of two unanimous se lections. Rau, a junior from Columbus, had the kind of year that a pitch er usually dreams about but sel dom gets. The southpaw was hit hard only once in 11 games and that misfortune came largely be cause of control problems. He tossed seven complete games while the rest of the Aggie staffed totaled five. Rau gave up only 39 hits and seven earned runs in 73 innings. He recorded 82 strikeouts and walked only 20 while working on a 0.86 e.r.a. and a 9-1 record. His e.r.a. reach ed a low of 0.26 during the season. “One of the best college pitch ers to come along in several years," was the way Coach Tom Chandler described Rau. “He’s able to set up hitters and get the strikeout when he needs it,’’ Chandler said. ler characterized All-SWC first baseman Chris Sans who like Hodge made a golden opportunity out of his first year as a starter. The sophomore from Houston hit only .220 in 41 at bats last year but hit .282 with three hom ers and 18 runs batted in this spring. R. J. Englert, Aggie leftfielder, didn’t start the season as a start er but when given the chance turned in a sterling performance that may warrant him the SWC batting crown when official league statistics are released. The sophomore from Big Spring hit .400 driving in 10 runs. | “Englert had a good year," Chandler said, adding that “He’s really happy to have him back for two more years.” League champion Texas also had four players selected includ ing pitchers Burt Hooton and James Street who were selected as players of the year. Outfielder Jack Miller and third baseman David Chalk were also picked with Chalk being the other unani mous pick. Baylor second baseman Skip Bathrop and outfielder John Dodgen were also named to the team. Texas Christian had two se lections in outfielder Jeff New man and shortstop Glenn Monroe. Righthander Ruben Garcia of Texas Tech was named Fresln of the Year and Rice Coach Di Osborn who guided the (his third place behind the Ljngli# and the Aggies was named ft of the Year. All four Aggie selections return with at least one yes eligibility and as Coach Chan puts it, “I’m extremely pit to have four members of Aggie baseball team selectei the All-SWC team for 1W a I dl RAU HODGE At J />/ ENGLERT Billy Hodge, a graduate of Stephen F. Austin High School in Bryan, made his first year as a starter a good one leading the Aggies in three offensive cate gories and tying for the lead in two others. Ellis, Butler in meet Hot Dierk blanks Cad Chandler calls Hodge the best catcher in the Southwest Confer ence and he had the season to prove it, Chandler said. Hodge, who was the backup man last year batting only .171 in 35 at bats but he hit .340 knocked in a club leading 27 runs and hitting five home runs to tie for the team lead with Boyd Hadaway. “A real good clutch ball player who can get the big hit when you need it” was the way Chand- Duke Butler and Richard Ellis of the Texas A&M golf team have been selected to play in the NCAA golf championships accord ing to announcement by Dave Williams, golf coach at the Uni versity of Houston and chairman of the district 6 selection com mittee.
