THE BATTALION
G
Aggies, Longhorns square off with SWC title at stake
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
The Texas Aggies and Univer
sity of Texas in Austin Longhorns
have played 76 games between
them this season, but the next
three are the most important of
all as the two teams collide on
Kyle Field Monday and Tuesday,
with the Southwest Conference
championship going to the winner.
The Aggies and Longhorns will
tangle in a 1 p.m. doubleheader
Monday and a 3 p. m. single Tues
day.
A&M extended its season record
to 31-6 with a 7-2, 12-1 sweep of
the University of Houston Thurs
day afternoon, pounding out 26
hits. The Longhorns have a 30-9
record following a doubleheader
win over Dallas Baptist Tuesday.
The Longhorns have won 22 of
their last 25 games after having
a slow start. They had to replace
five starters from last year.
The transition period cost the
Horns a 8-6 record to start out
the season, but they have been
buoyed since then by three re
turning veterans and a trans
plant.
First baseman John Langer-
hans has a .421 average for the
season with an amazing 12 home
runs and 58 runs batted in. Third
baseman David Clark is hitting
.408 for the year with five homers
and 54 runs batted in. The junior
from Dallas has a school record
of 62 hits.
Second baseman Mike Markl is
hitting .357 for the season and
just returned from a broken wrist
injury.
The transplant is rightfielder
Walt Rothe. Rothe last year
worked as a pitcher but had a
.318 batting mark. They moved
him to rightfield and he now has
a .391 average with nine home
A&M Rugby club meets Rice
to decide Texas rugby title
The Texas A&M Rugby Club
travels to Houston Saturday
morning to play Rice University
for the championship of the Texas
Rugby Union.
The game—slated for 10 a.m.
at Memorial Park on Washington
Street—will match the northern
division champs, A&M, against
the southern division winners.
“They’ve got a very big team,”
coach Roger Boos said. Boos said
that the Aggies and Rice met last
semester with Rice taking a close
victory in the final minutes of
an overtime period.
Scheduled to start for the Ag
gies are: Gary Junot, fullback;
Andy Scott and John Gunn,
wings; Mark Fisher and Gene
Anderson, centers; Butch Pres
ton, flyhalf; John Ray ton, scrum-
half; Steve Sturman, Allen Hines
and Don Barr, first line forwards;
Bill Scherle and Phil Tyber, sec
ond line forwards; Don Robertson
and Brian Marshall, wing for
wards; and Bob Elmore, number
eight.
runs and 40 runs batted in.
Those four have taken up most
of the slack but the newcomers
have improved steadily. Take
shortstop Amador Tijerina. The
5-3 transfer from Odessa JC is
batting only .250 for the year
but since SWC play has started
he is hitting .409.
Jimmy Crouch and Charlie
Crenshaw have taken over in the
outfield. Crouch owns a .258
average but has a .286 mark
against SWC competition. Cren
shaw is a .306 batter for the
season but less than .200 in league
play.
The number one strong point
of the Longhorns is, however,
Burt Hooton. Hooten, the junior
righthander from Corpus Christi
King (Aggie baseballer Larry
Smith, Jim Atterbury and Jim
Wallace are from the same high
school), has a remarkable 34-2
record since coming to the Austin
school and this year has 10-1
standard with a 0.77 era for 81
innings in which he has struck
out 126 men.
Hooton will start the first
game of the series and if needed
will pitch in relief later or pos
sibly if he has to may start two
games in the series. Lefthander
Mike Beard and Donnie Horne
are the Horns other scheduled
pitchers.
Beard has a 5-2 record with
3.90 era and Horne, unbeaten in
5 SWC decisions has a 5-1 record
with 2.82 era.
“They are a well balanced ball
club,” Aggie coach Tom Chandler
said of the Longhorns. “It’s go
ing to be a great series.”
9-under after 36 holes
Veriato burns up course
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
“Don’t get too close to him or
you’ll get burned,” said Arkansas
golfer Mike Mosser as he headed
down the fairway after teeing off
on the 17th hole at the Southwest
Conference golf tournament on
the A&M golf course Thursday
afternoon.
Mosser was referring to Aggie
golfer Steve Veriato as he was
approached by his caddy. Veriato
was probably capable of doing
just what Mosser warned of, as
the A&M sophomore fired a pair
of blistering subpar rounds to
take a commanding lead at the
halfway point of the meet.
Veriato fired a three-under-par
67 on the first 18 holes Thursday,
yet trailed teammate Tommy
Johnson by two strokes as he
turned the first 18 in 65. But in
the second round Veriato shot a
64, one short of the course rec
ord, to finish the day with a 131
total, five strokes ahead of John
son, his nearest competitor.
Chuck Brownfield and Jim
Cisne of Arkansas both finished
the second round with subpar
scores and are tied for third at
139.
The golfers play 36 holes today
to complete the 72-hole tourna
ment to decide the medalist for
the Southwest Conference.
Veriato fired 14 birdies in the
36 holes of play with the weather
hot and humid under overcast
skies. His second round was es
pecially impressive as he went
through the front nine in a four-
under-par 31, as he shot par or
better on every hole. He paired
holes two, three and four after
birdieing the first and then con
secutively birdied the fifth, sixth
and seventh.
Veriato seasoned his good
shooting with a mixture of good
putting.
“I putted like you’re supposed
to today,” he said. “I didn’t make
any real bad shots.”
He noted that the greens on
the course were in good shape
and helped his game considerably.
Team champion Texas Tech
showed why it won that honor
with its balanced array of four
golfers. Jim Whitteker and Steve
Thompson had 144’s, Hamilton
Rogers at 145 and Stan Wilemon
a 146 for the Raiders.
The results of the first day’s
play were: Steve Veriato, A&M,
67-64—131; Tommy Johnson,
A&M, 65-71—136; Chuck Brown
field, Arkansas, 71-68—139; Jim
Cisne, Arkansas, 70-69—139;
Stan Altgelt, SMU, 70-72^-142;
Jim Whitteker, Tech, 72-72—144;
Steve Thompson, Tech, 72-72—
144; Jerry Gatti, TCU, 72-72—
144; Hamilton Rogers, Tech 72-
73—145; Mike Mosser, Arkansas,
73-72—145; Stan Wilemon, Tech,
72-74—146; John Scott, Rice, 71-
75—146; David Montgomery,
SMU, 77-72—149; Eddie Vossler,
TCU, 75-74—149; Larry Law
rence, Baylor, 75-74—149.

Freshman superstar H a r o Id
Solomon swung his way into Fri
day’s singles quarterfinals, Thurs
day on varsity courts, where the
Aggies are hosting the three-
day Southwest Conference Tennis
Championships.
Solomon, the freshman ace who
competed in the River Oaks Tour
ney last weekend, led the way for
his three teammates into the
quarterfinals, trouncing Phil Lan-
dauer of Arkansas 6-1, 6-2, after
drawing a bye in the first round.

The Texas Aggie water polo
team, fresh from a victory of
the University of Texas-Austin,
journeys to Norman, Okla., Sat
urday for the University of Okla
homa Invitational Water Polo
tournament.
Scheduled to make the trip for
the Aggies will be Fred Meyers,
course with All-American team
mate Zan Guerry for the finals,
to be held Saturday. Guerry is
seeded second in the champion
ships behind Solomon.
A&M’s entries in the singles,
Mike Hickey, Dickie Fikes, Jon
Ragland and Tommy Connell, lost
in the second round in the race
for the quarterfinals. Hickey was
defeated by Texas’ Jim Bayless
6-3, 0-6, 6-4; Ragland by SMU’s
Jay Paulson 6-4, 6-1; Fikes by
Rice’s Gus Pellizzi 3-6, 6-3, 7-5;
and Connell by Tim Vann of SMU,
6-1, 6-4.
The doubles team of Dan Cour-
san and Hickey was defeated by
TCU’s team, Juan Corominas and
Ned James, 7-5, 6-4, leaving the
only entry left for A&M in the
second round, the doubles duo of
Fikes-Ragland, which drew a bye
in the first round.
As there was only time for one
full round of doubles competition,
there were no major upsets in the
doubles matches. However, the
duo of Solomon-Guerry defeated
Baylor’s Tommy Sheives and Jack
Vance 7-6, 6-2, in the only second

of SMU, Bayless of Texas, and
George Moncada of Baylor, to

“They’ve got the number one
college pitcher in the country in
Hooton,” he said. Hooton beat the
Aggies last year in the game that
decided the conference title 8-0.
But Chandler looks at the series
from his side of the fence and
says he can’t worry about who
Texas is going to pitch. He’s got
to worry about his own club.
“We’ve got them in our ball
park. And we’ve got to beat them
two out of three to prove we’re
champions.”
Chandler feels that pitching
and defense are the keys to the
series and is yet undecided on
who will do the pitching.
Five different hurlers are under
consideration. Either righthander
Charlie Kelley 7-1 or lefty Bruce
Katt 4-1 will pitch the first game
Monday. Paul Czerwinski 7-1
will work the second game and
either Charlie Jenkins 5-0 or
Jackie Kinks 5-0 Tuesday.
Czerwinski and Jenkins were
the winning pitchers against
Houston.
The left side of the A&M in
field was a little on the down
side Thursday. Shortstop Butch
Ghutzman sat out the twinbill
to rest an injured wrist that
has been bothering him for about
a week. He will, however, be
ready to go against Texas.
Third baseman Jim Hacker
sprained an ankle sliding into
second base in the first game
but reports say that Hacker will
probably be okay for the series.
The probable A&M lineup will
be: Butch Ghutzman, .302, short
stop; R. J. Englert, .368, left-
field; Dave Elmendorf, .400, cen-
terfield; Billy Hodge, .360; catch
er; Jim Sampson, .312, Larry
Smith .340, or Gene Reinarz ,250,
rightfield; Chris Sans, .328, first
base; Carroll Lilly, .352 or Sandy
Bate, .185, second base; Jimmy
Hacker, .286, third base; and the
pitcher.

The Texas Aggies welcomed
back coach Tom Chandler with a
26-hit attack in smashing the Uni
versity of Houston 7-2 and 12-1
Thursday afternoon on Kyle
Field.
The twinbill was a tuneup for
the upcoming series with Texas,
and the workout found the Aggies
hitting on all c ylinders. A&M
belted the two aces of the Hous
ton staff with 12 hits in the
seven-inning opener.
Elroy Othold, who had a 7-0
record and had shut out Texas
two weeks ago, was knocked out
in the second inning. Center-fielder
Dave Elmendorf was the big stick
for the Aggies in the first game,
smashing a single, double, and
triple along with a walk. Chris
Sans had a single and double
while R. J. Englert added a pair
of singles to the attack.
Paul Czerwinski pitched the
first four innings and picked up
his seventh win against one loss.
Charles Kelley notched a save
with three innings of relief work.
The Aggies suffered a bad
break in the first game when
freshman thirdsacker Jim Hacker
twisted his ankle crossing second
base. It was first feared that the
ankle was broken, but an examin
ation revealed only a sprain, and
Hacker should be ready for the
Texas series.
With Elmendorf leading the
way again, the Aggies exploded

Of all the pictures of our senior class trip
to New York City, this is everybody's favorite.
Not just because the kids like Tom and
Donna, but because it says something.
Clearer than a thousands words, it shouts
our interest in anything that speaks of peace
among nations.
And not just nations—we pray that within
our country men of every color, age and in
terest can learn to build and work together
to make a brighter future.
Sure, we're young and idealistic and have
a lot to learn. That's why it's important for
our parents and teachers and leaders to have
good, strong values and to live by them.
My parents do. To them the Church is
the backbone of our country and Christianity
the key to the future. That's why they go to
church each week and take us with them.
