SCONA K e ‘
Ag baseballers win
pair from Rattlers
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggie baseball team
used a base on balls to provide
the winning margin in one game
and a nine-run outburst in the
first two innings in the other as
they defeated the St. Mary’s Uni
versity Rattlers in a doublehead
er Saturday at Kyle Field.
A bases-loaded walk to catcher
Billy Hodge in the bottom of the
seventh inning of the first game
provided the margin of victory in
a 2-1 first game.
The Aggies stroked Florencio
Pena, who shut out Rice earlier
this week, for 8 runs before the
righthander could retire four bat
ters. They led 9-1 after two
turns at that plate and went to
win the game 12-5.
In the first game, righthander
Paul Czerwinski fired five score
less innings at the Rattlers, al
lowing only singles in the second
and fifth innings.
Coach Tom Chandler, taking
early season precautions with his
pitchers, relieved Czerwinski after
the fifth although he was lead
ing 1-0.
That lead was provided in the
third inning when Butch Ghutz-
man stroked a single, moved to
second on a walk and scored
when second baseman Andy Ren-
inger threw wildly to first base.
Righthander Charles Kelley re
placed Czerwinski in the sixth
for A&M, and after pitching a
scoreless frame allowed the tying
run when Daryl Acker singled,
moved to second on a sacrifice
and scored on a single to left
field by Jesse Causey.
Jim Grotta, the Rattlers’ start
ing pitcher, was removed for a
pinch hitter in the rally in the
sixth and relief Stewart Cooper,
a freshman in his first college
game, was greeted by waiting
Aggie bats and first game jitters.
Cooper’s first opponent — Car-
roll Lilly — singled to center but
was out trying to stretch the hit
to a double. Then pinch hitter
Jim Atterbury and Ghutzman
drew walks as Cooper fired six
straight balls and eight in nine
pitches.
Dave Elmendorf followed one
out later and his liner between
short and third although not
making it to the outfield loaded
the bases and then Hodge walked
after fouling off one pitch with
a three-two count to break the
tie.
In the second game, Ghutzman,
R. J. Englert, Elmendorf and Da
vid Van Houten, the first four
batters in the Ag lineup, reached
base and scored their first two
times at the plate as Pena was
tagged for 8 hits and 8 runs be
fore departing with none out in
the second.
The first three singled with
Elmendorf driving in the first
run. Then Van Houten reached
on an error loading the bases,
which was followed by Jim Samp
son whose opposite-field double
drove in two more. Lilly follow
ed a couple of ground outs with
a double that notched two more
runs in the first innings.
Ghutzman and Englert again
delivered in the second with sin
gles and Elmendorf doubled
down the left field line driving
home Ghutzman.
Van Houten walked and Chris
Sans knocked home the second
run with a single and then Lilly
finished the rally with another
double.
Then, after Pena left, the Ag
gies got to Julian Villareal for
three runs in the fifth with Jim
my Hacker starting the rally
with a walk. Hodge then batted
for Bruce Katt, who started the
game but was being relieved
after five strong innings, and
doubled knocking home the fresh
man from Temple.
Englert then drew a walk and
Elmendorf cracked his second
double of the game driving in
two runs.
Elmendorf led the team with
five hits and four runs batted in.
Ghutzman and Lilly had four hits
apiece and Englert and Sans
three apiece as the Aggies
showed a .328 team average at
the plate.
Coach Tom Chandler went to
his subs after the fifth inning
of the opener and only first base-
man Sans played all the second
game.
Katt, who was troubled with a
sore arm last year in the latter
stages, allowed only two hits and
a run in his five innings of work,
and said that he felt okay after
the first inning.
“My arm was a little sore in
the first innings but that was
because I didn’t warm up for 10
minutes. After I got warm I was
doing okay.”
Freshman lefthander Jackie
Binks suffered through a shaky
college debut, allowing three runs
in his first inning on three
runs in his first inning on three
walks and two singles, but his
second frame was perfect as he
began to settle down.
Pat Jamison hurled the final
two innings and was tagged for
a run on two hits in the eighth
inning before retiring the side in
order in the ninth.

A&M rugby teams split
two weekend matches
The Texas A&M Rugby Club,
coached by Roger Boos, Saturday
captured one match in Houston,
25-9, against the Houston Rug
by Club, while dropping a sec
ond game here against the Texas
Maritime Academy, 15-12.
The team that won, A&M I,
now is 1-0 for the season while
A&M II is 1-1.
A&M I managed to cross the
goal line five times and gained
the other 10 points via penalty
kicks. Scoring for the team were
Donald Barr, Steve Sturman,
John Gunn, Bob Elmore and
Butch Preston, all with three
points apiece.
A&M II lost its game in the
last few minutes of the confron
tation because of an offsides call
resulting in a penalty kick for
the Maritime Academy, resulting
in three points for the season.
Coach Boos, who is from the is
land of Trinidad, played rugby in
England, where he was captain
of his team, and in France. He
is attending A&M as a graduate
student and working on his mas
ter’s in agricultural engineering.
“The boys have great poten
tial,” Boos said. “They don’t
know all the rules yet, but they
are very eager to learn. I think
we may have the most unbeat
able team in the union which
consists of teams in Houston,
Dallas, Austin, and College Sta
tion.
“Not having seen the first
team play in their match against
Houston, I can’t really comment
on the fine playing they must
have done. But I was a referee
at the second team’s game and
can say that that game should
have been won but stupid errors
cost us the game.
“I think we’ll have one heck of
a game for the people to watch
for Civilian Weekend when we
play the University of Texas
here, he added. We’ll also be go
ing to a tournament in St. Louis
over the Easter holidays.”
Ag swimmers
lose twice
Steve Prentice, freshman back-
stroker from Pasadena, turned in
two first-place finishes in the
200-yard backstroke last week
end but was one of the few
bright spots as the Aggies’ swim
team fell to national powers SMU
and UT-Arlington in its last two
dual swim meets of the year be
fore the Southwest Conference
championships March 12-13.
Prentice swam a winning time
of 2:01.89 at SMU Friday and
then took first in the UTA meet
with a time of 2:01.9.
The only other first place the
Aggies managed in the meets
they lost to SMU, 86-27, and
UTA, 71-42, was in the 400-yard
freestyle relay against Arling
ton.
Mike Hicks, Gordon Taylor,
Tom Sparks and Erice Wolff
teamed for 3:35.2 time in that
event.
Taking second places were
Wolff in the 1000-yard freestyle,
Sparks in the 50-yard freestyle,
Prentice in the 200-yard individ
ual medley and Greg Rippey in
the 1-meter and 3-meter diving
against UTA.
Second places against SMU
were by Wolff in the 1000- and
500-yard freestyle, Bobby Wil
loughby in the 200-yard butter-
bly and Duncan Cooper in the
1-meter and 3-meter diving.
