Team unity keeps
Aggies on top
Aggies can cinch title tie
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
In sports like football, basketball, and baseball, teamwork is
necessary just for the mechanical functions of the game. But in track,
unity is the difference between a champion and a mediocre squad.
One doesn’t have to be around the Texas Aggies very long to see
that their team spirit, unity, and pride is excellent.
Whether it be on campus, at workouts, or at the meets, these guys
are a close-knit group. The results are shown in the 1970 Southwest
Conference championship.
Unity will not replace ability, but it is essential for bringing the
best out of an athlete. Track is a unique sport, since, with the exception
of relays, it is composed of individuals working separately. Any one
person can go out on a track and run against someone else. Yet unity is
vital for victory.
Watch the Ags at the conference meet here next week. When one
is competing in an event, he knows that every member of the squad is
behind him all the way. Such an incentive is good, because this way,
he’s working to help everyone else, not just himself.
The Texas Relays a few weeks ago is a good example of this. Most
of the team was seated in the stands across the field from the finish
line. So, while some of the races were going on, anxious eyes followed
the progress of Marvin Taylor and Ben Greathouse in the high jump at
one end of the field and Harold McMahan in the pole vault at the other
end.
Although no team points were being given, the team cared about
the performances of his teammates. This can’t help but bolster an
athlete’s morale, particularly in track, where it is so important to be
mentally prepared.
But the Aggies go one step further. They not only care about
each other as athletes, they are also close off the track. You can ask any
member of the team about another, and he can tell you about his
workout habits, latest performances, and background.
Unity is strange, though. It makes things a lot more pleasant, but
its real results show through when the competitors are closely matched.
And no one can deny that this is the case in the conference this season.
Rice and Texas will be A&M’s biggest rivals for the championship.
Current statistics show that the three are almost even, with the Aggies
ahead by just a little. So the conference gathering should show us quite
a bit about the unity of the three teams.
Upsets or hotly contested events can give insight in this area.
When surprises start occurring, look for an inspired effort. Behind that,
look for the motivation of team spirit, pride, and unity, because that
will usually be the cause.
So, it’ll go down to the wire next weekend. But, when it comes to
the winner, the squad with leaders like Curtis Mills, Rockie Woods, and
Don Kellar, coaches like Charlie Thomas and Ted Nelson, and unity like
the Texas Aggies should be on top—again.

The Texas Aggie baseball team
— with at least a tie for the
Southwest Conference champion
ship lying in the wake of a three-
game sweep — travel to Fort
Worth Friday and Saturday to
play the good hitting Texas
Christian University Horned
Frogs.
The Aggies and Horned Frogs
meet in a 1 p.m. doubleheader
Friday and at 2 p.m. Saturday
in a single game on Frog Dia
mond on the TCU campus, near
Daniel Meyer Coliseum.
A&M currently leads the Uni
versity of Texas at Austin by
three games with each team hav
ing six to play. The Longhorns
are at home against the Rice
Owls this weekend and then will
meet the Aggies on Kyle Field
May 3-4.
An Aggie sweep against TCU
would clinch at least a tie for the
title no matter what Texas-Aus-
tin does, and one Longhorn loss
combined with a sweep would
give A&M the title outright.
A Southwest Conference rule
automatically postpones rained-
out games when the visiting team
has already left home before the
games are called. If rain should
cancel the series with TCU the
Aggies would force a Longhorn
sweep.
Aggie coach Tom Chandler,
still recovering from surgery at
Sharpstown Hospital on a rup
tured disc in his back, will be
able to listen to the games by a
special telephone hookup that will
enable him to listen over the
Aggie radio network.
TCU brings a 6-5 Southwest
Conference and 19-16 season rec
ord into the series, with their

Jerry Mercer, 6-8 Class AAAA
All-Stater from state champion
Cypress-Fairbanks, became the
Texas Aggies fourth schoolboy
cage recruit Tuesday when he
signed a pre-enrollment applica
tion to A&M, coach Shelby Met
calf has announced.
Mercer averaged 17 points and
18 rebounds for the state cham
pions and in the words of coach
Metcalf “wiped the boards clean”
at the state tournament in Austin.
Metcalf said that he plans to
use Mercer on the low post and
Cedric Joseph at the high post
or on the wing.
Joseph was one of three players
to have signed earlier. Aside from
the Fort Worth Arlington Heights
blue chipper, the Aggies had
signed 6-3 Dale Donaldson, a
teammate of Joseph’s, and 6-7
Webb Williams of Comstock.

main strength their hitting. The
Frogs have six hitters batting
over .300 for the season. Add to
that the Aggies have eight regu
lars and the series shapes up to
be a dandy for the hitters.
The Frogs’ park is a hitter’s
paradise, ranging from 325 down
the lines to about 385 in center.
TCU used that to their advant
age Monday when they took a
doubleheader from Southern
Methodist. After winning the
first game 3-2 behind freshman
righthander Frank Johnstone,
they clubbed three home runs in
the second game win.
Shortstop Glenn Monroe is a
.377 hitter and leads the Frogs
at the plate. Freshman Pat
Carden, the first baseman, is hit
ting .351 and another frosh, Phil
Turner, is batting .350. Third
baseman Don Bodenhamer is hit
ting .333 and centerfield Jimmy
Torres .329.
The Aggies probably will see
Johnstone (5-3) and Earl Wallace
(7-2) Friday and either Bobby
Shaw, Johnny Grace or James
Shebesta Saturday.
A&M will send regular starters
Bruce Katt (4-0) and Paul Czer-
winski (6-0) in the doubleheader
and probably will nominate soph
omore Charlie Jenkins (4-0) to
pitch Saturday, as he returns to
his home city. After a late start
due to basketball season Jenkins
now has a 0.96 era. Czerwinski
leads the staff with a 0.57 stand
ard.
The Aggies are expected to go
with the same lineup for TCU as
Tech, using Sandy Bate at third
base and Gene Reinarz in right-
field against lefthand pitching
and Jimmy Hacker at third and
either Jim Sampson or Larry
Smith in rightfield against right-
hand flingers.
The probable starting lineup
for the Aggies and their aver
ages are: Butch GhutzmanJ
shortstop; R. J. Englert,,
left field; Dave Elmendorf,j
centerfield; Billy HodgeT
catcher; Gene Reinarz, ,200,
Sampson, .333, or Larry St

first base; Carroll Lilly, .387,1

Jimmy Hacker, .269, third |
