Track, baseball open season here Saturday
l
By JOHN CURYLO
The track segment of this
year’s close A&M-Rice rivalry
unfolds in Kyle Field Saturday
as the defending champion Ag
gies meet the Owls in the sea-
son’s first outdoor meet for both
teams.
In football, the Houston school
won here by a point, and repeat
ed the feat by two in basketball.
A&M upset the Owl cagers by
one in Houston. There is every
indication that activities on the
Aggies’ new tartan track should
be just as close, with field events
beginning at 1:30 p.m. and run
ning at 3 p.m.
“This will be a great meet,”
said Charlie Thomas, the Aggie
track coach. “I think it’ll go right
down to the wire. Rice has an
excellent squad.”
Only half of the Mills’ brothers
act will be in action, since Marvin
is out with an injury. Thomas re
ports that he is coming around,
but his status for next week is
unknown. Curtis, however, will be
in the 440 yard dash, challenged
by Chip Crandjean and Denny
Dicke.
Other feature events are the
pole vault, discus, 120 yard high
hurdles, 440 yard hurdles, the mile
run, and the high jump. Rice’s
Dave Roberts leads the pole vault,
having reached 16-8 this season.
A&M enters Harold McMahan,
whose best is 15-5, although he
has gone over 16 feet once in
practice.
Every entry in the discus is a
high school state champion. The
Aggies will go with Bubba Vin
cent (Bryan) and Tim Brown
(Belton), while Rice’s four entries
are led by Southwest Conference
champion Larry Anderson. Gary
Butler, Ken Stadel, and Ken
Pearson will also throw for the
Owls.
Thomas said that the purpose
of this meet is to enter boys in
the events they seem to be best
in, and to give the athletes some
experience and competition. He
wants to avoid injury, so there
will not be too much doubling up.
He used Rockie Woods as an ex
ample.
“He‘s in the 120 yard high
fulrdles," the coach explained,
“but we’re keeping him out of
the 100 yard dash, since he’s also
in the 220 and the sprint relay.”
Donny Rogers is the other Ag
gie in the event. In a close race,
the Owls have Jack Faubion and
Rocky High entered. The other
hurdle event, the 440, could be
one of the most interesting races
of the day. A&M’s Don Kellar has
a better time than Rice’s Mike
Cronholm, but the latter is the
defending SWC champ in this
event.
Ben Greathouse won the SWC
high jump a year ago, and he’ll
be performing his specialty again
Saturday. Marvin Taylor will
team up with him, and they will
be pressed by Glen Ray of Rice.
Thomas will see Frank Ybarbo
in competition for the first time
in the mile run when he squares
off against Steve Schroeder of
the Owls. Ybarbo is the junior
college transfer who paced the
Aggie cross country team last
fall.
‘‘We’re real anxious to see how
he’ll do,” Thomas said. “He hasn’t
run a mile for us yet, but we feel
he’ll do a good job.” He added
that the tartan track should have
an equal effect on both teams,
and that the times should be a
little faster overall.
Willie Blackmon, recovering
from an injury, will be in the
880 for A&M. His best time in
practice is 1:51.8, but the effect
of his absence from action should
slow him down.
The depth of the Owls showed
through last year, as they down
ed the Aggies in a quadrangular
meet here. New coach Augie Er-
furth has this going for him this
season, although the Owls lack
strength in the sprints.

The Texas Aggie baseball team
opens its 1971 season Saturday
when it hosts St. Mary’s Univer
sity of San Antonio in a double-
header on Kyle Field.
The action starts at 1 p.m. with
the first game due to go seven
innings and the nightcap slated
for nine.
The Aggies are returning 13
lettermen from last year’s 25-9
Southwest Conference runnerups.
The Aggies lost only shortstop
Jim Raley and rightfielder Boyd
Hadaway to graduation off their
regular starters from last year,
and third baseman Danny Rag
land bowed out because of grades.
Last year, Chris Sans was the
All-Southwest Conference short
stop and finished with a .282 sea
son average and 18 runs batted
in, and Jim Sampson, a muscular
junior college transfer, who bat
ted .333 in only 24 trips to the
plate, was left out because of his
limited time of play.
Sampson will be starting in
right field. In other changes,
Butch Ghutzman, last year’s regu
lar second baseman with a .261
norm, will move to third and Car-
roll Lilly, who missed last year
after suffering an injury to his
foot that required surgery, will
replace him at second.
Jimmy Langford, a transfer
from San Jacinto Junior College,
will replace Raley at shortstop.
Elsewhere, the Aggies will
have Bill Hodge, the returning
All-Southwest Conference catch
er, behind the plate. Hodge, who
was drafted last year by the At
lanta Braves but chose to play
his senior year, batted .340 and
drove in 27 runs last year.
Centerfielder Dave Elmendorf
returns for his final season after
batting .283 during the 1970 cam
paign. Elmendorf was also se
lected to several football All-
American teams and has been
drafted by the Los Angeles Rams
of the National Football League
and last January by the New
York Yankees.
Leftfielder R. J. Englert was
the defending conference batting
champion when he closed with a
.400 average.
Coach Tom Chandler has nomi
nated righthander Paul Czerwin-
ski to hurl the opener and junior
Bruce Katt will draw the start
ing nod in the second game.
Czerwinski, a senior, transfer
red last year from San Jacinto,
recorded a 1.58 earned run aver
age and 1-1 record in only 11%
innings of work. Katt, who broke
the SWC mark when he struck
out 19 SMU Mustangs last year,
finished with a 3.51 era and 3-1
record, although missing much of
the latter half of the season due
to an arm injury.
Chandler said whether both
pitchers would go the distance
would depend on how many
pitches they throw and how the
weather is.
If they don’t, Charles Kelley,
the team’s top reliever from last
year; Pat Jamison, who saw lim
ited action as a reliever; or tal
ented freshmen—both lefthanders
— Jim Wallace from Corpus
Christi King and Jackie Binks
from Beaumont Forest Park will
lend a hand.
Also expected to see action in
the field are David Van Houten,
returning letterman, who prob
ably will catch the second game;
outfielder and returning letter-
man Larry Smith, and newcomers
to the varsity, sophomore Gene
Reinarz and freshmen Jim Atter-
bury and Jim Hacker.
Netters pull major upset
Ag cagers host Baylor
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Baylor Bears, with their
Southwest Conference champion
ship hopes dropped to virtually
none, invade G. Rollie White Coli
seum Saturday at 8 p.m. for the
119th meeting with the Aggies
in their cage rivalry.
Baylor was all but eliminated
from the race Tuesday when they
were shelled by Texas Christian,
94-84, at Waco. The loss put them
two games back of the Horned
Frogs with three games to go.
The only thing that can save
the Bears will be for them to
sweep their final three games
and have the Frogs lose their
three, which isn’t too likely, es
pecially since TCU has two of
their three at home and Baylor
has two of their three on the road.
Baylor defeated the Aggies 103-
83 in the opening conference game
for the Aggies at Heart O’ Texas
Bill Cooksey
Coliseum, and more than anything
pride is at stake for both teams
as the rivalry is magnified by the
closeness in proximity of the two
universities.
New life lies ahead for the Ag
gies, who have struggled all sea
son long and now after two
straight wins have a shot at
catching and possibly even pass
ing Rice in the league standings.
The defending champion Owls
are on a three-game losing streak
and lead the Aggies by only a
game with three to play.
Coach Shelby Metcalf will start
three sophomores and two seniors
in the encounter against the
high-scoring Bears, who have a
15-8 season record.
Five Baylor starters are aver
aging in double figures, as is a
sixth player, and a seventh is
averaging more than eight a con
test.
Willie Chatmon, who joined the
Waco school for his last two
collegiate seasons after a record-
breaking stop over at Tyler Jun
ior College, has already broken
the one-season scoring mark for
a Baylor player this season among
several school records.
Chatmon, with 535 points,
cracked the 506-point record of
Darrell Hardy in the mid-1960’s,
and also has busted the Baylor
record of 207 field goals that he
set last year with 217.
With no chance to set the
school record for career scoring
because he only has been playing
two ye&rs, Chatmon has 1,033
career points, while Hardy scored
1,360 in his career.
Chatmon has a shot at the sea
son rebound record Saturday
when he puts his 331 rebounds
against Jimmy Turner’s record
of 345.
He also lacks 13 field goals of
having the Baylor SWC mark of
110 field goals and needs 65
points in the last three games to
become the one-season leading
scorer for conference games only.
This season he’s averaging
23.3, second in the league behind
Gene Phillips, and is also the
second leading rebounder behind
Eugene Kennedy of TCU and
fourth in field goal shooting.
Starting for the Bears also
will be seniors Tommy Friedman
11.2, and Jerry Hopkins 11.5. Jun
ior college transfers Roy Thomas
and Bobby Thompson, also from
TJC, are averaging 10.1 and 10.7
and Pat Fees, a junior, is scoring
at an 8.5 clip.
The Aggies, with one more
home game left on the schedule,
will start sophomores Charlie
Jenkins with 4.6, Wayne Howard
with 6.8, and Jeff Overhouse with
12.4, and seniors Bill Cooksey
with 7.8 and Chuck Smith with
8.7.
All five played without rest in
the second half Tuesday as Coach
Shelby Metcalf did not make
substitutions.
Also expected to see a lot of
action will be Steve Niles, 14.0,
and Rick Duplantis 8.3 under the
basket, and Bob Gobin 5.5 in the
backcourt.
In the freshman prelim, the Ag
gie fish will meet the Baylor
Cubs at 5:45 p.m.
6-7 Lee Griffin keys the Baylor
attack with a 28.1 average and
has a chance to set the Bear
freshman mark for one season
scoring if he holds that mark
in this the last game for the
Cubs. The mark is currently
held by Jimmy Turner of 27.8.
The Fish held Griffin to 12
points in their first meeting on
route to a 66-55 win.
Also expected to start for the
Cubs are Buddy Carlisle from
Clear Creek with a 12-point
norm, David Wallace from Lake
Charles, 17.2; Will Carter from
Elsa, 4.4; and Doug Schneider
from McAllen, 9.9.
The Cubs have won their last
two games, 102-96 over SMU and
113-100 over TCU, en route to a
5-7 record.
Starting for the Fish will be
Randy Knowles, 20.4; Bobby Mc-
Key, 13.1; Johnny Mayo, 11.2;
Joe Arciniega, 7.3; and Jack Vest,
6.2. Also expected to see action
is Mark Stewart with a 9.9 aver
age.
The Texas Aggie tennis team
pulled the upset of the day Thurs
day beating ninth ranked Oral
Roberts, 4-3, taking a couple of
split sets in singles play and then
sweeping the two doubles matches
for the win at the Corpus Christi
Invitational Tennis Tournament.
In a quarterfinal match later
Thursday, however, the Aggies
fell to lOth-ranked Brigham
Young, a team which finished
sixth in the national rankings
last year.
The Aggies bowed in a couple
of split singles matches in that
match that provided the differ
ence for BYU.
The highlight of the day for
the Aggies was the play of Dickie
Fikes, who returned to his home
town, and won both singles
matches and played on two win
ning doubles teams.
The star-studded tournament
included five of the nation’s top
ten teams in the 16-team field
and nine of the top 20.
The Aggies picked up split set
wins from Fikes over Josef Sole
in the number two singles match
and Tommy Connell over Eric
Ulleberg in the number four
singles match.
In the doubles, Jon Ragland
and Fikes defeated Peter Van
Lingen and Kiyo Panabe, 6-2 6-4.
Van Lingen and Panabe just two
weeks ago combined to win the
doubles championship of the Pan
American Tournament.
In the number two doubles
match, the one that decided the
final verdict, Mike Hickey and
Dan Courson upended Sole and
Ulleberg, 6-2 6-3 in a tough
match.
After watching the decisive
doubles matches, Coach Omar
Smith said that both teams
showed a lot of class in the
match.
BYU played Baylor in the
morning first round and easily
defeated the Bears 7-0 and was
definitely at an advantage over
the Aggies, who had the tough
match against Oral Roberts.
Brigham Young won two split
singles matches and led 4-1 after
singles play in the match.
The Aggies will meet North
Texas today in the next round
and will have a shot at fifth
place if they can win their last
two matches.
