The TCU Frogs did it again.
The pesky Texas Christian Uni
versity Horned Frogs turned their
not-too-consistent past into a glit
tering near perfect weekend as
they swept the Texas Aggies from
the unbeaten ranks by winning
three games on Frog Diamond on
the TCU campus.
It was the third year in a row
that the Frogs had dealt the Ag
gies a bad hand, and like the past
years, makes those involved look
at the upcoming Texas-Austin se
ries in a different light. The re
sults of the TCU series combined
with the Texas-Rice fiasco left
the Longhorns and Aggies tied
io> ie league lead with 12-3 rec
ords.
The Owls were left for dead in
the series as the Longhorns pum
melled them 16-7, 19-7 and 12-4,
and you wondered why the Owls
even bothered to show up.
The Longhorn-Aggie spectacle
that annually decides who goes
to the NCAA playoffs is set for
May 3-4 on Kyle Field. The Ag
gies play a non-conference double-
header with the University of
Houston on Kyle Field Thursday
and the Texas-Austin meeting
Dallas Baptist on Clark Field in
Austin for a doubleheader this
week. It will be the final warmup
for the big series for both clubs.
The TCU series could be classi
fied as one of a series when you
think back to last year when the

Frogs seemed to do nothing
wrong. The Aggies really didn’t
play badly enough to deserve a
triple trouncing but the Frogs
deserved their sweep.
It was a renovated TCU lineup
that did the damage. Shortly aft
er the Horned Frogs visited Clark
Field a few weeks back and lost
three to the Longhorns coach
Frank Windegger shuffled his
lineup benching some seniors and
inserting three freshman, Pat
Carden, Mike Turner and Dana
Carden into an already young
lineup that included another
freshman, Phil Turner, two sopho
mores, Don Bodenhamer and Jim
my Torres and veterans Roger
Williams and Glen Monroe.
Since that lineup has been
starting TCU has won nine in a
row so the Aggie sweep was not
just a once in a while occurrence
for the Frogs.
Another freshman Frank John-
Tech wins title;
Ags fall to Hogs
The University of Arkansas,
backed by junior Mike Mosser —
who completed his dual match
season undefeated although play
ing against the number one play
er of every team, defeated the
Texas Aggie golf team SV2-2V2
Monday at Fayetteville.
Texas Tech sitting by in Lub
bock won the crown, however,
with a record of 26-9 ^ Arkansas
was second at 24-12. SMU fin
ished third with a record of 21-
15 and A&M fourth at 20 1 /-s-15 1 /£.
Mosser defeated Steve Veriato
in the match and Mike Mache-
mehal fell to Chuck Brownfield.
Tommy Shelton won his match

Johnson spit his match.
In a Friday match the Aggies

Ag netters blitzed
by Longhorn surge
The University of Texas at
Austin tennis team ripped the
Texas Aggies 6-1 Monday on
Pennick Courts at the Univer
sity pf Tpx^as campus.
The Aggies were blitzed by the
Longhorns 5-0 in singles play as
the Horns clinched third place in
the Southwest Conference with
the decisive win. A&M went into
the match with a one point lead
in the battle for third but the
Texas victory gives them a 27-15
record and the Aggies close out
their season with a 24-18 stand
ard.
The Aggies only win was in
the number one doubles match
where Dickie Fikes and Jon Rag
land combined for 6-2 6-4 win
over Avery Rush and Marc Wie-
gand.
Rush, John Nelson, Ron Tou-
chon, Don Nelson and Wiegand
all had singles wins for the
Longhorns. Only John Nelson
was forced into third set and
that a marathon battle with Rag
land in the second singles match
was won 4-6 6-2 15-13 by Nelson.

stone added misery to the Aggies
in the first game of the series
with a six hitter and then shut out
the Aggies for three innings to
win the third game on Saturday.
TCU won the first game 5-3,
the second 4-3 and came from
behind to finish up the damage
with a 8-7 win in 10 innings Sat
urday.
A double by Monroe and a sin
gle by Mike Turner gave the
Frogs a 2-0 lead in the first in
ning of the second game as left
hander Bruce Katt continued to
have his problems against con
ference hitters.
Then Dave Elmendorf gave the
Aggies the lead in the fifth when
he doubled in three runs but TCU
won it in the bottom of the in
ning as Phil Turner and Johnstone
singled and scored on a misplayed
triple to give them a lead and
then Monroe drove home the third
run of the inning with a sacrifice
fly by Monroe.
In the second game both teams
threatened heavily with the Ag
gies leaving 10 men on and the
Frogs 11 and both A&M pitcher
Paul Zerwinski and Earl Wallace
of TCU were in constant trouble.
Torres was the culprit as he took
advantage of the short right field
fence to hit two home runs and
give the Frogs a 4-3 victory mar
gin with his second one. Jimmy
Hacker had tied the game for
A&M with a seventh inning home
run and Chris Sans knocked in
two runs with a double after TCU
had taken a 3-0 lead.
give the Aggies a 3-0 lead in the
battle but the Frogs came back
against Charlie Jenkins to tie
the game on singles by Torres,
Dana Carden, an error, two walks,
a fielders choice and sacrifice fly
in the bottom of the inning.
It was Jenkin’s only bad inning
of the first six as he faced the
minimum 15 outside of the in
ning allowing only one walk and
the runner was erased on double
play.
The Aggies busted out of the
tie with Billy Hodge doubling
home Elmendorf in the fifth and
then got three more in the sev
enth on a squeeze bunt by Gene
Reinarz and a two run single by
Hacker.
But two Aggie errors in the
bottom of the inning opened the
floodgates for the Frogs, who on
a two out pinch hit homer by
Randy Ray (a starter, who was
benched when Windegger went
to his freshman), cut the lead to
7-6. That homer was the only hit
of the three run inning. Pat Car
den tied in the eigth with a
single off reliever Charlie Kelley
and then won it in the 10th with
a single up the middle with the
bases loaded and none out.

Ags beat Texas
in water polo
The Frogs showed their per
formance level was high in that
one when Mike Turner the left
fielder saved them twice in the
second game. Turner pulled down
pinch hitter Jim Atterbury’s line
drive with the bases loaded while
on the dead run in the eighth
and then pulled off a once in a
lifetime miracle as Elmendorf
drilled a cannon shot at Turner,
who turned with his back to the
infield running toward the fence
leaped and snagged the ball and
then hit the ground turning a
somersault and hanging onto the
ball. R. J. Englert, who was on
first would have scored easily on
the play had the ball dropped.
Saturday the Aggies banged
out 15 hits and led at one time
7-3 before the Frogs rallied for
the extra inning win.
Butch Ghutzman doubled home
two runs and Elmendorf poled
his third homer of the year to
In a rematch of water polo
teams from last semester the
Texas A&M water polo team
downed the University of Texas-
Austin 12-8, to wind up the Sat
urday’s activities for the water
polo clinic directed by swimming
coach Dennis Fosdick.
Nationally known Bob Gaugh-
ran, Bob Lee, and Ai*t Lambert
were the guest speakers at the
clinic which was attended by high
school and Southwest Conference
coaches.
“The clinic was a great suc
cess,” said Fosdick. “The coaches
and the players who attended the
clinic learned many tips about the
game and how to coach it from
our speakers.”
Mike Hicks proved to be the
best player in the water during
the game as he made some good
moves causing Fosdick to feel he
has one of the best players in the
conference.
“Tl^e important thing is that
we played as a team this time,”
Fosdick said. “We didn’t the last
time we played Texas, and that’s
why we lost.”
Probably the biggest weekend ever in Texas A&M sports is on the
schedule this weekend. It will probably be one that will run sports
information directors and Battalion sports editors and writers crazy as
four major Southwest Conference championships will be decided, as
A&M hosts the SWC spring meet this weekend.
It actually starts Thursday with golf and tennis, with track joininj
in on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday and possibly on into
Monday the executives of the league will have a pow-wow. Then an
event that wasn’t on the agenda, the baseball series with Texas-Austin
for the conference baseball crown, is up on Monday and Tuesday.
The golf and tennis titles will be for the medal and individual
crowns and Texas Tech and Rice respectively have won the team
championships in match play. The golf is slated for Thursday and
Friday and tennis will take three days to complete with double the
number of entrants being allowed this year.
At stake for the Aggies of course is the possibility of a second
consecutive track title and then with the baseball series on Monday and
Tuesday, the feasibility of two major sports crowns in one week for the
Aggies in what has been a less than vintage year for the Aggies, in factif
the Aggies fail to win track or baseball they will have failed to win at
least one major sport title. But alas the rugby club claimed the
Northern Division title Saturday of the Texas Rugby Union.
The golf meet will get under way Thursday at 8 a.m. with each of
the 15 players playing 36 holes Thursday and Friday. Conference
champion Tech will be allowed four entries, runnerup Arkansas three,
the Aggies, SMU and Texas Christian two each, and Baylor and Rice
one golfer in the field.
The tennis meet should be delicious if you like Rice with the
mighty Owls bringing two All-Americans and a third netter that's
destined to be one into the tournament after sweeping to 40-2 recordin
the league race. The Owls will have three time All-American seniors
Mike Estep and Zan Guerry and super freshman Harold Solomanin
action.
Each team is allowed four entries in the singles and two doubles
teams.
The track meet has running prelims set for Friday at 4 p.m. and
the finals under the lights Saturday beginning at 7 p.m. on Kyle Field
Field events in the meet get under way with the pole vault at 11 a.ni
Finals in the shot put, high jump, javelin, long jump and discus are
slated to get under way Friday at 1 p.m.
And while the athletes are vying for the athletic crowns the
school officials will be having meetings at the Ramada Inn throughom
the weekend with the important meeting of faculty representatives and
athletic directors to begin Saturday afternoon, continue Sunday and
possibly if needed last through Monday.
The conference meeting officially ends with those executive
meetings this weekend but many fans will probably stay over for the
important baseball series.
It will be a final go round because finals will follow the
Conference meet in about a week and if you like, sports then maybe
tennis, golf, track or baseball will be your cup of tea this weekend.
