Tabor , Texas 801 -822-2114 rs FOR r an Lines Always trouble from the Frogs The weeks are going quickly toward finals, and with it the Texas Aggies are nearing the end of their regular baseball season. Six dates are eft on the schedule, three with Texas Christian this weekend and three ilay 3-4 with the University of Texas-Austin in the final home series. In past history the Frogs and Longhorns have proved the toughest ipposition upon the Aggies in baseball competition and leave reason to idieve that the final six games this year will be more of the same. A sweep of the TCU series this weekend would clinch at least a ie for the Southwest Conference championship, with three games emaining. For that matter technically the Aggies need only two or three from the Frogs and one of three from the Longhorns to clinch the itle outright. But I can assure you that will be easier said than done. A look at the last two seasons brings evidence. Two years ago, the Iggies opened the conference season with TCU and carried a 9-0 record nto the series at Fort Worth. TCU won two of three and the Aggies vent downhill from there finishing with a 15-11 season standard. Then astyear the Aggies were 11-0 in Southwest Conference play when the wo met on Kyle Field. When the Frogs left after the series, TCU had aken two of three, winning on a pair of shutouts by Rod Monahans id Jim Chase (his only start in SWC play). Texas-Austin was also mdefeated and the two TCU losses forced the Aggies to win three traight from the Longhorns in Austin. Texas eventually won two of hree. But the Aggies, by sweeping the Horned Frogs, could put the lefending champion Longhorns in a similar spot for the upcoming cries. But the 29-3 record and an air of confidence surrounds this Aggie earn and around no player does that confidence abound more than liortstop Butch Ghutzman. Ghutzman, a senior (but a junior eligibility vise) has been a part of the last two squads and can’t see this year’s earn following suit. “We’ve got a lot different team and we’ve got momentum.” Ghutzman pointed out that tha- Aggies have played some good aseball on the road. We’ve always been fired up on the road. We’ve been scared of using and we’ve played our best defense. A good example of that would be that the Aggies have made only wo errors in a series at Rice and had a flawless doubleheader at [ouston last Tuesday, then at home before a friendly crowd they made ight errors against Tech. Ghutzman looks at the TCU series with optimism and says that if lie weather is good the Aggies will have a good series. “TCU has a good field to play on and if the weather is good with lurclub we’ll have a good series.” “That’s the only equalizer I can think of.” Ghutzman said that he felt that the weather was an equalizer in ist year’s series. “The wind was blowing in on hitters and there pitchers were owing fast balls and we were hitting them but they caught them and THE Wednesday, April 21, 1971 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 5 Softball finals under way ROGER BOOS, COACH of the Texas A&M Rugby team, gives his team a few pointers about the Austin Rugby team, who the Aggies face on the drill field Saturday at 3 p. m. A win would give A&M the inside track to the Rugby Union title.

No spring game The Texas Aggies will not hold a final spring game in football, Head Coach Gene Stallings an nounced Tuesday. The primary reason for not scheduling a game is that Stall ings eight-year-old son, John Mark, underwent an emergency operation this week and the Aggie Coach said he did not want to schedule a game and then have to cancel it at the last moment.

ALLEN OLDS. - CAD. INCORPORATED SALES - SERVICE “Where satisfaction is standard equipment” 2400 Texas Ave. von. The Aggies and Frogs get together Friday at 1 p.m. for a loubleheader and Saturday at 2 p.m. for a single game and judging rom past performances it should be a great series and a big one for the Yggies. Coaches Charlie Thomas and Ted Nelson may want to shrug it off but facts and figures in dicate their Texas Aggies will repeat as Southwest Conference track champions when the 56th annual meet is staged at Kyle Field, Friday and Saturday, April 30 and May 1. Based on best performances through last Saturday and giving the opponents the benefit of the doubt in cases where Aggies have the same best performances, the final team points, unofficially of course, produce this standing: Texas A&M 63, Texas 56, Rice 55, Baylor 37, SMU 25, Texas Tech 15, TCU 4 and Arkansas 1. Those points are based on first places for the Aggies in only the 120-yard high hurdles (Rockie Woods), 440-yard dash (Curtis Mills), 220-yard dash (Rockie Woods) and the 440-yard relay (Steve Barre, Curtis Mills, Mar vin Mills and Rockie Woods). It doesn’t take into account that the Aggies could very well go one-two in the high jump (Marvin Taylor and Ben Great- house), one-two in the 100-yard dash (Marvin Mills and Rockie Woods) or win the javelin (Marc Black). Based on best performances through last weekend, the Aggies would get their 63 points like this: High jump—Marvin Taylor second and Ben Greathouse fourth; Pole vault — Harold Mc Mahan second and Larry McIn tyre third; Javelin — Marc Black second; Three-mile run — Frank Ybaro third; 120 hurdles—Rockie Woods first and Gary West fifth; 440-yard dash—Curtis Mills first; 100-yard dash — Rockie Woods third and Marvin Mills fourth; 880-yard run — Willie Blackmon fourth; 220-yard dash — Rockie Woods first, Marvin Mills fourth and Donny Rogers fifth; 440-yard hurdles —- Don Kellar second and David Morris fifth; 440-yard re lay — A&M first. Mile relay — A&M third. Many of the above could im prove on those projected finishes and, if so, it would mean more points for the Aggies.
