The three wins gives A&M 12 without a loss in conference play with second place Texas-Austin now 9-3 in the standings. The Aggies will travel to Fort Worth for a three-game set with Texas Christian University this week end, while the Longhorns will be at home against the Rice Owls. The two teams meet in the sea- son-closing series May 3-4 on Kyle field. A&M is hosting the University of Houston today in a doubleheader on Kyle field. Czerwinski, battling hard, worked out of jam after jam to keep the raiders scoreless until Carroll Lilly knocked in pinch runner Larry Smith with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning of the seven inning game. Smith was running for Jim Sampson, who had singled. Czerwinski had runners at first and third and only one out in the fourth of the contest but pitched his way out. An inning later runners were on second and third with one out but again he stopped the threat. Then in the sixth came the ultimate threat as Cecil Norris crashed a pitch into the left centerfield alley and end ed up on third with a triple with none out. At this time the score was 0-0 and with two at-bats remaining one run seemed crucial. All he had to face was Doug Alt a .370 hitter and Johnny Owens, a four- year letterman and .380 hitter. Texas A&M baseball coach Tom Chandler was in satisfac tory condition and reportedly resting comfortably in Sharps- town General Hospital in Hous ton after undergoing surgery for a ruptured disc in his back Mon day afternoon. The Aggie mentor is expected to be in the hospital for about a week. But the senior from Houston challenged Ault with a couple of good curves and the result was two swinging strikes and ground out with a fast ball inside. Then Owens struck out and Roy Carv er the same, as Norris stood help lessly on third. The Aggies won the first game of the series with a never-say-die attitude as R. J. Englert tied the game with a triple down the left field line with one out in the bot tom of the seventh. Before that time, Tech led 2-1 behind Ruben Garcia, who had pitched his way out of two bases loaded jams, after allowing a first inning run on a double by Dave Elmendorf and a single by Billy Hodge. Tech knocked out Aggie starter Bruce Katt after four in the con test with four runs and seven hits but the bullpen aces Charlie Kelley and Pat Jamison came on to pitch three scoreless innings each allowing only one single apiece. Charlie Jenkins then hurled the eleventh inning and got credit for the win, his fourth without a loss, as Elmendorf scored from third when a wild pitch got stuck in the screen behind home plate. A ground rule allows for an auto matic base for a runner, to ad vance a base in this case, and Elmendorf waltzed in with the clincher after singling, stealing second and moving to third on a wild pitch. The Raiders inten tionally walked Hodge to get to Charlie Jenkins, the next sched uled batter, but while Jenkins was up reliever Bob Geurin tossed Golfers finish 7th at Houston The Texas Aggie golf team placed seventh in the four day 72-hole All-America Invitational Intercollegiate golf tournament at Atascocita Country Club in Houston that was completed Sat urday.

The Aggies threatened all day in the game stranding 14 runners but in the end got the run that counted as they brought their record to 29-3 after the Saturday win. Saturday, the Aggies jumped on starter Doug Ault on a single, three walks, a hit batsman and went ahead 3-0 but Tech tied it in the second. Aggies then % /m f -Cm; iff I A Paul Czerwinski knocked out Ault with six in the fifth as they ripped to a 12-7 win and sent the Raiders and several UT-Austin players watching the crucial game home wanting. Saturday’s game was played before the largest home crowd of the season and probably the biggest ever for an Aggie game, estimated at 4,500 as all seating capacity was filled, fans lined both fences down the right and left field lines, lined the wall between the back screen and the bleachers, the fences beyond right and centerfield and were perched over every open spot on the Kyle football stadium. A&M rolled up 12 hits in the Contest including four doubles and a triple. Butch Ghutzman’s leadoff sin gle started the downfall of Ault, who after Englert reached on an error, walked Elmendorf, loading the bases, hit Hodge forcing in one run and then ground outs by Gene Reinarz and Chris Sans got in the final two runs. But Tech tied it off Jackie Binks in the second on singles by Ault, Bob Martindale and Jerry Ballard, a walk and a throwing error. It was the fourth frame that got the Aggies down as Tech put runners on second and third with none out. Manager Terry Logan then went to his bullpen aces once again and Charlie Kelley RAYWELLS GOING FORMAL TUXEDO RENTALS AND ALL OCCASION FORMAL WEAR It’s a whole new thing 1 . . . and we’ve got it all together . . .
