By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor For Paul Czerwinski, Butch Ghutzman and Jim Sampson, good fortune came in pairs Saturday as the Texas Aggies swept their third doubleheader in four tries with a couple of 3-2 decisions over the Lamar Tech University Car dinals on Kyle Field. Czerwinski was the winning pitcher in a relief role in both ends of the doubleheader, Ghutz man drew a pair of bases-loaded walks that provided the winning margin in the first game and Sampson knocked in the tieing and winning runs in the second game with two singles. Czerwinski worked only an in ning in each game and was the last of three pitchers in the open er and last of four in the second those came the hard way as they had to rally from a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the seventh of the first game and win it in extra innings and then score the win ning run in the second game in the final inning. Mastered for six innings by Billy Cox, the Aggies got to re liever Mike Hughes in the seventh of the opener on a double by Carroll Lilly, an error and a walk to Billy Hodge that set the sttage for Ghutzman’s first free pass. R. J. Englert then tied with a hit. In the eighth inning Ghutzman walked, forcing in the winning run following a walk and singles by Glen Reinorz and Lolly. game. The Aggies managed only six runs during the doubleheader and In the second game, Lamar led 1-0 going to the bottom of the fourth when Dave Elmendorf tied it with a triple off the cen- terfield wall that scored Ghutz man, who had singled. Then Sampson put A&M ahead 2-1 with his first single. In the seventh, the Aggies threatened on a single by Ghutz man and intentional walks were given to Elmendorf and Hodge loading the bases for Sampson, who singled home the clincher. Elmendorf sparked the Aggies with three hits and three inten tional walks during the twinbill and he was joined with three hits each by Ghutzman, Englert and Lilly. The A&M junior varsity base ball team had its three-game win streak snapped Monday afternoon on Kyle Field when they dropped a pair of games to Ranger Junior College. Rick Huegele was the loser in the 6-2 opener and Danny Glasier, was charged with the loss in the 14-2 second game. Neil McKit- trick and Cliff Wisner had one triple apiece for the Ags. Trackmen second at LSU, visit ACC By JOHN CURYLO Assistant Sports Editor Abilene Christian College is to day’s opponent as the Aggie track team goes on the road jagain following an impressive performance in Baton Rouge Saturday. LSU edged A&M, 60-57 V2, with Rice getting 5214 points in the triangular meet, but the Aggies won six events, and set three stadium, two meet and one school record. The mile relay gave the crowd of 2,736 its biggest thrill, and this proved to be the event of the day for the Aggies. Robert Brew led off for A&M with a 47.8. He passed off to TOMORROW is the WEDNESDAY SPECIAL CHEESEBURGERS . 5 for $1 FRENCH FRIES HAMBURGERS . . 7 for $1 7 for $1 DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER FOR A FREE SUZUKI 250 & A BONANZA MINI-BIKE BURGER CHEF Family Restaurants ACROSS FROM THE HOLIDAY INN tilings go better Marvin Mills and 47.6 seconds later he gave the baton to Don Kellar just about even. Kellar had his hands full, run ning against Rice’s Steve Straub and LSU’s great sprinter A1 Cof fee. He turned in a valiant 47.0, but when he was through, the other two had a lead of at least 15 yards. At this point, Curtis Mills took his turn. He ran steadily, stay ing within distance of his peren nial foe, Chip Grandjean of Rice, for 220 yards. Then Grandjean passed the faltering LSU anchor man, with Mills catching up. Coming around the curve, the world record holder breezed past the Rice senior, and it was all over. Mills’ 45.3 gave the Aggies a 3:08.0. This mark is a new A&M school record, bettering the 3:08.2 set by Harold McMahan, Willie Blackmon, and the Mills broth ers in Philadelphia last year, and a new meet and stadium record, breaking Rice’s 3:11.2 set in 1967. Curtis set a new meet and sta dium record in his specialty, the 440 yard dash, with a 45.9. Grandjean pushed Mills all the way, and Curtis ran faster than the 46.8 left by Conley Brown of Rice in 1968. The other record performance came in the high jump, where Marvin Taylor cleared 6-8. This was an inch higher than Rand Geyer of LSU jumped in 1966. Greathouse of A&M tied for third at 6-6. Marc Black threw the javelin 234 feet, 3 inches to win, an im provement of some three feet over his winning heave in the Border Olympics last week. The Aggies placed 1-2-3 in the pole vault. Rice’s fine vaulter, Dave Robert was competing in NCAA indoor nationals, and could not be in Baton Rouge. Har old McMahon cleared 15-6 to win. Larry McIntyre was second at 15 feet and Robert Hoffman third with 14-6. The sprint relay was another crowd pleaser, with A&M win ning, one-tenth of a second off the meet record, The team of Steve Barre, Curtis Mills, Donny Rogers, and Rockie Woods turned in 41.0. Woods took the baton one step ahead of LSU’s Coffee, and the SWC sprint champ stayed out in front as the two ran in step for the last 110 yards. Frank Ybarbo doubled in the mile and three mile, placing fourth and second, bettering his previous three mile time by 14 seconds. The junior college trans fer ran a 4:13.4 in the mile, in which five runners beat the rec ord of 4:15.3 set eight years ago. In the three mile, Ybarbo ran a 14:38.9, also faster than the pre vious meet record by seven-tenths of a second. Coffee gave LSU firsts in both of the sprints, winning 100 in 9.5 and the 220 in 20.9 He got his revenge in the century downing Woods by about two yards. Fresh man Allen Swagerty was fourth at 9.7. He placed third in the 220 at 21.5. Gary West took second in the 120 yard high hurdles in 14.3, and Rogers got fourth in 14.7. In the 440 yard intermediate hurdles, David Morris finished strong to take second, barely ahead of Kellar. Both were timed at 52.9, a full second better than Morris’ time last week. LSU was 1-2-3 in the long jump, but James Johnson, a new comer to the Aggie team, came in fourth with a leap of 22-6%.
