The Texas Aggie baseball team
worked out under the lights of
Bryan’s Travis Park Tuesday
night at it prepared for its only
regular season appearance at
night Thursday.
The team will travel to San
Antonio for a two-night double-
header with the St. Mary’s Uni
versity Rattlers.
The twinbill is set for 6 p.m.
at Keefe Stadium with the first
game slated for seven innings and
the second to go nine.
The Aggies will have the rest
of the weekend off before travel
ing to Houston for a doubleheader
against the Universtiy of Hous
ton Tuesday afternoon.
A&M, 22-3 for the season and
9-0 in SWC play, is ranked fourth
in the weekly collegiate baseball
newspaper poll which is picked
by the coaches.
Centerfielder Dave Elmendorf
is expected to receive clearance
from his doctor to resume play
Thursday morning, and if so will
be available for the twinbill, al
though coach Tom Chandler has
indicated that he would start the
regular lineup of the past few
weeks.
The Aggies defeated the Rat
tlers twice in a season-opening
doubleheader on Kyle Field, 2-1
and 12-5. St. Mary’s is the de
fending Big State Conference
champions and opened defense of
their crown with a doubleheader
win over Texas Wesleyan Satur
day. It pushed their season
record to 10-8, although the
Rattlers played University of
Nebraska-Omaha Tuesday night
in San Antonio.
The Rattlers are expected to
send their two ace pitchers
against the Aggies — Florencio
Pena and Jim Grota, who also
started the first twinbill, are due
to go. Pena beat Wesleyan 1-0
wjth a two-hitter and Grota de
feated them 3-2 with a three-
hitter.
Aggies help youth
in CS cage league
The College Station boys bas
ketball League completed nearly
four months of play Tuesday
night and without the help of
several Texas A&M students,
success of the league would have
been lessened.
Ten Aggies served as volunteer
coaches for the league which
started play Jan. 18 only two days
after the start of the spring se
mester—approximately 165 boys
from ages 6 to 12 participating in
the league. Twelve trams were
divided into two leagues, accord
ing to Stanley Cass, league com
missioner for the College Recrea
tion Committee.
He also pointed out that several
other Aggies served as officials.
A&M students who served as
coaches were Dave Lechel, Terry
Palmer, John Otterness, John
Frederick, Bob Eshenbaug, Mike
Huslage, David Nava, Joe Posern,
Sandy McKinley and Harvey Day-
ton.
Teams coached by Frederick
Dayton won their leagues, Cass
said.

R. J. Englert, the Aggies’ regu
lar left fielder, who has played
center in the absence of Elmen
dorf, had a wisdom tooth pulled
Tuesday and was in considerable
pain while viewing Tuesday
night’s workout from the stands.
He is expected to be ready to go
Thursday.
Engelert is the hottest thing
going as far as hitting, with an
uncanny ability to constantly get
the base hit, either with the line
drive in the right spot, the extra
base hit between the outfielders,
the bloopers just out of the reach
of a fielder, or the safe bunt. He
has a .422 average for the season
but since the Rice series has had
18 hits in 32 at bats for a .556
average—including 15 for 26 in
confrence play—for an overall
.577 mark.
That pushed the Big Spring
junior’s average to .463 in league
play for the top hitting spot.
Seven of eight Aggie regulars
have a better than .300 average
for league play and six of eight
in SWC action.
Coach Tom Chandler said that
he will use at least six pitchers
during the twinbill, letting his
regular hurlers get in some work
during the week off from confer
ence play.
He hasn’t nominated his start
ers yet but will use his regular
starters, Bruce Katt, Paul Czer-
winski and Jackie Binks, his two
top relievers, Pat Jamison and
Charlie Kelley and probably
Charlie Jenkins and Jim Wallace.
The probable starting lineup
for the Aggies will be: Butch
Ghutzman, shortstop, .319; Eng
lert, centerfield, .422; Larry
Smith, leftfield, .349; Billy Hodge,
catcher, .390; Jim Sampson,
rightfield, .324; Chris Sans, first
base, .265; Carroll Lilly, second
base, .371; Jimmy Hacker, third
base, .293; and the pitcher.
Aggies meet Owls
again in Houston
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
It’s another session with the
Rice Owls this Saturday, as the
Aggies travel to Houston for a
quadrangular meet.
This will be the sixth meeting
this year between the two, being
joined this time by Arkansas and
TCU, as A&M gets ready for its
defense of the Southwest Confer
ence title in three weeks.
Coach Charlie Thomas’ squad
will be at a definite disadvantage
this week, performing without
the services of ace sprinter and
hurdler Rockie Woods, who was
injured in the Texas Relays.
However, the outlook is a lit
tle brighter due to the full re
covery of Marvin Mills. He has
been slowed by a pulled ham
string, but he will run the 100,
220, and anchor the sprint relay
team. Also back in action will
be Don Kellar. The senior will
run the 440 and the mile relay,
hut he will be held from the hur-
A&M Rugby I wins
fourth straight
Downing the Dallas Harlequins
27-3 Saturday, the A&M I rugby
team made it a four game streak
which may indicate that this
team, with a 4-0 record may be
the next champion of the northern
division of the Texas Rugby
Union.
Coached by Roger Boos of
Trinidad, the A&M I team also
is the only team in the division
that has not had a score touched
down against it. The only scores
against the team have come from
penalty kicks, indicating the team
has an outstanding defense and a
strong backfield.
Boos said he felt the team
played well but not as a team.
“We’ll have to play better than
we did to beat the Austin I team,
which also is undefeated,” he said.
“We can beat them, we just have
to be ready for them mentally.
I think we can piill it off. The
Austin team is refuted to be the
best in the division, but I feel that
A&M has the best.”
Scoring for the Aggies were
captain John Rayton with nine
points; John Gunn and 1 Mark
Fisher with six points apiece; and
Steve Sturman and Bob Elmore,
each with three points.
The A&M II, which played the
Austin I team, was defeated 23-6.
Scoring for the Aggies were Ran
dy Harju and George Olden, each
with three points.
Though suffering several losses
this season the second team, Boos
said, has been steadily improving
and gaining more unity in its
game.
dies to allow him to recover fully
from his leg injury.
Rice and TCU should pick up
points in the hurdles, because
freshman Gary West will not
compete, and he has been hot in
both events lately. The Horned
Frogs will push the sprints, but
other than that, the meet will be
mainly an A&M-Rice affair.
As has been the case where-
ever the Aggies go for a meet,
the big attraction will be world
record holder Curtis Mills. The
Lufkin senior will run in the
sprint and mile relays in addition
to his specialty, the quarter mile.
Another drawing card will be
Rice pole vaulter Dave Roberts,
who was named outstanding indi
vidual performer in the Texas
Relays university division in
Austin Saturday. The field
events will also feature the high
jumping of Marvin Taylor and
Ben Greathouse, and the javelin
throwing of Marc Black.
For weeks now, Owl quarter
miler Chip Grandjean has been
dueling with Curtis, pushing him
to new meet and track records
in Baton Rouge four weeks ago.
The two also run the anchor legs
of their respective squads’ mile
relay unit. The Rice team ran a
3:07.6 in Austin, the best in the
SWC so far this season. It
should be another good match
this week, but the Aggies may
be at a disadvantage without
Marvin in this event.
“It should be a good meet,”
Thomas said. “Rice is strong,
and TCU may take a few points
away from us, but we’ll be in
there trying. We’ve got some
people missing, so we won’t be
at full strength.”
Willie Blackmon will continue
his series of races with the Owls’
Steve Straub. Blackmon’s best
is a 1:51.6 here two weeks ago.
Due to his being held from the
intermediate hurdles, Kellar will
not be able to take on Rice’s Mike
Cronholm, who got his time down
to a 50.5 Saturday.
Steve Barre, who runs the 100
and the first leg of the 440 relay,
has recovered from the injury
that slowed him in Austin. In
addition to Barre, the sprint re
lay unit will have Curtis running
second, Donny Rogers third, and
Marvin anchoring in Woods’
place.
The meet gets under way Sat
urday at 1:30 p.m. The event is
being held in what is known as
Old Rice Stadium, on the Hous
ton school’s campus.
After this, the Aggies will
journey to Lawrence, Kansas
April 16 and 17 for the Kansas
Relays, and then to Des Moines,
Iowa on April 23 and 24 for the
Drake Relays. The next week,
they host the conference meet
on Kyle Field.

Pan American won 26 of its
first 29 games, while Florida
State was winning 16 of its first
20 contests.
Arizona State remained in third,
close behind, with Texas A&M a
solid fourth. Mississippi State
rounded out the top five, with
Michigan State, Southern Cali
fornia, Dartmouth, Minnesota and
Ohio University following.
Florida Southern was voted
No. 1 in the season’s first col
lege division poll.

Prentice at Pan Am trials
By MICHAEL RICE
Battalion Sports Writer
Freshman swimming ace Steve
Prentice left early Tuesday morn
ing for the Pan American Trials
in Pullman, Washington. The
trials are slated to get underway
Thursday afternoon and the meet
will last through Saturday.
Prentice will be entered in the
100- and 200-yard backstroke
events, his specialties for A&M.
Prentice holds the school rec
ord in both events, setting a rec
ord in the 100 yard event at the
NCAA Nationals two weeks ago.
His best in the 200-yard back-
stroke was timed earlier in the
season at the Southwest Confer
ence Swimming Championships.
Coach Dennis Fosdick is not
too optimistic about Prentice’s
placing in the meet. He said he
feels the competition in Washing
ton will be “much rougher than
the competition at the NCAA’s
because everyone will be trying
to make the Pan Am Team.”
“He has really been in a taper
too long,” Fosdick continued.
“It’s really been hard for him to
not work out hard, we just
shouldn’t have tapered him for
the conference meet. Just the
same, I think Steve might be able
to bring his 100-yard backstroke
time down.”
Fosdick said he also feels the
competition this year should make
Prentice more mentally prepared
for the nationals next year, as
this is his first time to compete
nationally.
“I’ve had comments from some
of the more well-known coaches,”
said Fosdick, “saying that Eric
Wolff and Steve Prentice are go
ing to be great swimmers. These
were coaches who saw them swim
in the NCAA meet. I suppose
we’ve made an impression on
somebody.”
While in Washington, Fosdick
said he hopes to be able to do
some recruiting among some of
the high school seniors who are
competing in the meet.

Golfers snowed out
The Southwest Conference golf
match between the Texas Aggies
and the University of Arkansas
at Fayetteville was postponed
Tuesday due to snow.
The match will be played at a
later date, but the site could be
determined by the outcome of the
Arkansas-Texas Tech dual meet
Friday at Fayetteville. The Hogs
and Raiders are the top two
teams in the circuit with Tech
holding down a 19%-4% record
and Arkansas an 11-7 record.
A decisive Tech win would elim
inate the Razorbacks and the
A&M match could possibly be
played during the All-America
Invitational at Houston. If Ar
kansas wins, then the Aggies
would have to travel to hills for
the match.
A&M is third in the league with
a 14-10 record.
