A&M Rugby I 1 \ s Houston Playing one of its best g-ames of the season, the A&M I team of the A&M Rugby Club stormed to a score of 19-3 over the Hous ton Rugby Club’s first team. This brought A&M I’s record to 3-0 for the season, which keeps the team in running with the Austin Rugby Club (4-0) for the championship of the Texas Northern Union Rugby Confer ence. "It was such a hot game,” commented Coach Roger Boos, “that I almost swallowed my whistle.” He also was referee for the game. Scoring for the Aggies were Butch Preston, John Gunn, and Bob Elmore, with three points; Andy Scott with six points; and Captain John Ray ton, four points. The only score in the second game against Houston was by Marcus Nall. That game was lost 23-3.

A XVH ided. i|ues ) p. m. By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor They say to be a champion you must win the close ones, and the Texas Aggies stayed undefeated over the weekend with three heart-stopping victories over the Rice Owls in Houston. The Aggies used some great relief pitching, outstanding de fense, good clutch hitting, Rice errors and probably a few pray ers as they extended their league record to 6-0, two games ahead of their nearest competitor in the loss column, and ran their season mark to 17-2. That record has since been updated to 18-2 with a 3-0 win over the Missouri Tigers on Kyle Field Monday. In the first game Friday left hander Bruce Katt was breezing to an apparent easy win, having allowed only two hits in six inn ings and owning a 4-1 lead that had been built with the aid of 11 Aggie hits. But Katt’s luck changed in the seventh as the Owls rallied on a walk and a long double by Jay Temple, and another walk left the Owls banging on the door with the tying run on and only one out. Pat Jamison was called to the scene and Sheldon Kaufman greeted him with a single that cut the lead to one and left run ners at first and second. But after a sacrifice and an intentional walk loaded the bases, Jamison blitzed a third strike past one hitter and got the final out on fly ball to preserve a 4-3 win. In the second game the Aggies fell behind 3-1 in the fourth in ning and had narrowed the gap to a run as the eighth inning rolled around. Until that time the Aggies had four hits in the game. R. J. Englert had four, as the Ag cen- terfielder went seven for eight in the doubleheader and 8 for 13 in the three-game set. In the inning, Jim Atterbury beat out an infield single and ad vanced when Chris Sans sent a cannon shot through the second baseman’s legs that he probably never saw. Then Gene Reinarz, who had knocked in what turned out to be the winning run in the first game with a sacrifice fly, singled to right driving in both runs for a 4-3 lead. But the action wasn’t over yet Sconomcj Color Por+raVfs 8*ID-2 2.S0 10% lb - 32£o \k%Zo-£%S6 Studio as Charlie Kelley, the pitcher, smashed a long home run that was the kind that there was no doubt about with the bases load ed a couple of batters later. That shot gave A&M an 8-3 lead which Kelley preserved with three innings of top relief that/, gave him his fourth win of the year. On Saturday, the Aggies nib bled and pecked at four Rice pitchers, with Butch Ghutzman, Larry Smith and Reinarz driv ing in runs in a 6-2 Aggie win. Lefty Jackie Binks set the Owls down for seven innings, but the Beaumont freshman appear ed to tire in the later innings and was relieved by Jamison in the eighth after allowing 10 hits. Jamison went on to pick up his second save of the series and sixth of the season to go with a win in eight appearances. But it wasn’t a cakewalk, de spit the four run cushion. He walked one and two more of the first four batters he faced sin gled as Rice loaded the bases with one out. They were one hit away from being back in the game, but the senior righthander got Darrell Halloran, who had singled twice earlier in the game to hit into a double play, carried out by short stop, Ghutzman, to second base- man Lilly to first baseman Sans. Monday, coach Tom Chandler sent only one regular, Ghutzman, to his position, filled his lineup with reserves and came out with a 3-0 win over Missouri. The two teams play two games today on Kyle field, with the first of those slated for 1 p.m. Charlie Jenkins, making his second appearance on the mound this season, hurled seven score less innings, allowing six hits, before giving way to Katt, who notched the final two zeroes on the Missouri side of scoreboard. NY Nicks select Niles in fourth Steve Niles, the Texas Aggies’ seven-foot center, was drafted Monday in the fourth round of the National Basketball Associa tion’s college player draft by the World champion New York Knickerbockers. The San Antonio senior fin ished the season with a 14.0 av erage and was sixth in rebound ing with a 9.1 mark. He hit on 51.5 per cent of his field goals and was the only foul shooter taller than 6-5 in the league’s top 12 with 70 per cent. The Aggies picked up seven hits in the contest and broke a scoreless tie in the sixth when Denny Beall rapped a hard sin gle to right, moved to second on a sacrifice by Ah Jenkins and scored when Charlie Jenkins doubled over the right fielder’s head. Jenkins then scored on an er ror and the Aggies got their fin al run when Carroll Lilly, a late- inning replacement when Chand ler let some of his regulars get in some action, sliced a sacrifice fly ball to deep centerfield. Rockie Woods entered four events Saturday, and he came up a winner every time, getting le 1 ^ points, as the Texas Aggies won a triangular meet over Rice and Abilene Christian. Woods won the 100, 220, high hurdles, and anchored the first place 440 yard relay team, with A&M making 68 points to Rice’s 59 and ACC’s 42. Two school records fell in the meet, Woods’ high hurdles per formance and Frank Ybarbo’s three mile run, making three such records the Aggies of Coach Charlie Thomas have broken this season. Woods’ mark is 13.8, bettering the 14.0 set by Roy Bucek in 1941 and matched by Jim Hollings worth in 1955. This was previ ously the oldest standing record at A&M. Yarbo ran a 14:21.6, finishing second in the three mile run. This was better than the estab lished time of Ilhan Bilgutay in 1963. There were several other out standing performances by the Aggies, as they won seven events, compared to six for the Owls and three for ACC. Sev eral tracksters set their best marks of the year. Marvin Taylor and Ben Great- houre jumped 6-9 in the high jump, their best of the season. Taylor was awarded first place on the basis of fewer misses. The sprint relay team of Steve Barre, Curtis Mills, Donny Rog ers, and Woods put in a 40.3 for their fastest of the year. In ad dition Woods and Rogers fin ished 1-2 in the 220 with 21.1 and 21.2, respectively, for their tops this season. As usual, Marc Black won the javelin throw, with a heave of 229-11. This is the football play ers fourth win, having never been downed this year. Curtis Mills, suffering from flu and a sore throat early in the week, ran a first place 47.1, and he also ran that leg on the sprint relay. A missed handoff in the mile relay prevented him from competing there. The 100 yard dash was a big maroon event, as Woods, Barre, and Rogers were 1-2-3. Woods had a 9.4, and the other two both turned in times of 9.5. Dave Roberts won the pole vault with a 17-1 Ai, but A&M got more points, as Harold Mc Mahan, Larry McIntyre, and Robert Hoffman were 2-3-4. Mc Mahan cleared 16-0, McIntyre 15- 6, and Hoffman 15-0. Freshman Gary West came through with a fourth in the high hurdles and a second in the in termediates. He ran an outstand ing 14.0 in the 120’s and a 53.1 in the 440’s. Willie Blackmon ran a 1:51.6 in the half mile. Although he was third, this was his best time of the year. Bubba Vincent threw the disdus 169-3 ^ to take second in the event. This is also his top mark of the season. James Johnson took fourth in the long jump at 22-2 Alan Swagerty ran a 21.5 in the 220 to finish fourth also. David Mor ris was third in the 440 yard in termediate hurdles at 54.0 to round out the scoring for the Ag gies.

The seventh-ranked (national ly) Southern Methodist Univer sity tennis team clipped the Tex as Aggies 6-1 in a hard-fought SWC tennis battle Monday after noon on varsity courts. The Mustangs, sparked by leading players John Gardner and lian Russell, held hack nu merous threats by the Aggies to take a 4-1 lead at the end of singles. In a match Saturday the Ag gies dumped the University of Minnesota 7-2, holding a 7-0 lead in the meet at one time. Jon Ragland, Dickie Fikes, Mike Hickey, Tommy Connell, Mike Mills and Dan Courson won singles matches and the Fikes- Courson doubles team picked up wins for the Aggies, who now are 10-7 in dual match competi tion. The Aggies face third-ranked Rice Wednesday in their next conference action, with the match slated to start at 1:30 p.m. on varsity courts. The only Aggie win came when Mike Hickey upset Woody Block- Golfers blank BU in league play The Texas Aggie golf team kept its hopes for the Southwest Conference golf title brewing Saturday afternoon when it blanked the Baylor Bears, 6-0, on the A&M golf course.

Ag freshmen wear maroon Mark Green of Odessa and Tim Trimmier of San Antonio, who were members of last year’s freshman team, were the top quarterback candidates Monday as the Texas Aggies opened their second week of spring workouts. Green was with the first ma roon unit last week and was joined by Trimmier, who earned the promotion in last Friday’s scrimmage. The two freshmen were the only quarterbacks on the first unit Monday as the Ags worked on the passing game, of fensively and defensively. Another quarterback, Lex James, the sophomore who start ed last year hut is missing spring training because of hepatitis, was a spectator at the Monday work out. James is up but won’t be allowed to do any exercising for several weeks. On Saturday another surprise occurred when coach Gene Stall ings announced that offensive coach Bud Moore had accepted a position as line coach at the Uni versity of North Carolina and was leaving. No successor has been named for Moore, who re ported Monday to Coach Bill Dooley at the Chapel Hill N.C. school. In the Friday scrimmage, full backs Doug Neill of Houston and Brad Dusek of Temple combined for 233 yards rushing and 7 touchdowns as the maroons beat the whites 60-6. vlAI' fUi 'JO i | YSSOY..' ■ * xra'y WHEN RE-ELECTED TO BRYAN CITY COMMISSION JOE FAULK PROMISES To continue to assist in the development of the industrial growth we have achieved these last two years, and there by provide more and better paying jobs for our citizens.
