THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Wednesday, May 12, 1971
Ag trackmen set
7 school records
Despite a weird assortment of
injuries that resulted in their
losing the SWC track champion
ship to Rice by the scant margin
of a half-point, the 1971 Texas
Aggie track squad set seven
school records, two SWC records;
produced the SWC meet’s high in
dividual scorer and won five SWC
meet events. Yet, the season was
p.ot a success because they did
v;ot keep their SWC title.
fi; kie Woods, who scored 11 Vz
points; in the SWC meet for top
indfv ilPnal honors, set a SWC
record in the 120-yard high hur
dles with a 13.7 clocking. Ben
Greathouse set a SWC record in
the high jump with a 6-11 % leap.
The other five school records
came in the three-mile run (Frank
Ybarbo, 14:16.7); Mile relay
(Robert Brew, Marvin Mills, Don
Kellar, Curtis Mills) 3:08.0;
Sprint medley relay (Alan Swa-
gerty, Marvin Mills, Curtis Mills,
Willie Blackmon) 3:17.8; Javelin
Marc Black, 236-0); and pole
vault (Harold McMahan, 16-6).
There were any number of
things that could have given the
Aggies one more point and the
championship in the SWC meet.
Sophomore sprint ace Marvin
Mills pulled up lame in the Fri
day qualifying and thus was side
lined for action the rest of the
way. He was capable of winning
the 100 and 220 and running a
leg on the mile relay team. Senior
Curtis Mills, the world’s best in
the 440, pulled up lame in the
220 and thus didn’t finish that
event nor was he able to anchor
the mile relay.
Then, javelin thrower Marc
Black, with a season’s best of
236 for a new school record,
broke three bones of the index
finger on his right hand when
he slammed the javelin into the
ground to keep from fouling on
his second attempt. He still threw
220-11 for third place on his
fifth throw.
Dave Elmendorf
Record for wins
but still second
Longhorns lead
batting stats
Don Kellar
The Texas Longhorns fashioned
the highest batting average in
Southwest Conference history
(.333), in claiming their 46th
league championship—and a trai
tor to his class was the man
mainly responsible.
Walt Rothe, who had labored
as a pitcher for most of his Long
horn career, switched to the out
field this season and led the
league with a .485 average—
second highest ever in Southwest
Conference competition. Baylor’s
Mickey Sullivan hit .519 in 1954.
While Longhorns finished 1-2-
3-4 in the batting race and now
point toward the NCAA playoffs,
pitchers from Texas, Texas Tech
and Texas A&M won the mound
honors.
Tech’s nifty sophomore, Ruben
Garcia, posted a torrid 0.71 aver
age and allowed an all-time mini
mum of only 3.20 hits per each
nine innings pitched. He was
joined among the pitching leaders
by the Texas duo of Burt Hooton
most wins, 7, and most strikeouts,
74—and Donnie Horne—best rec
ord, 5-0.
For the second straight year,
the Texas Aggies set a school
record for baseball victories, and
still finished second in the South
west Confei’ence.
The 1971 Aggies overcame
numerous obstacles, such as in
juries to coach Tom Chandler and
star players Dave Elmendorf
and Billy Hodge, to post a 31-9
season record. Last year’s team
had a 25-9 mark.
The team set several records,
including team batting average
(.304), hits (384), doubles (70)
and triples (24).
Elmendorf, an All-America
candidate in centerfield, finished
as the team batting champ with
a .402 average for the full sea
son and .371 in conference play.
Nine others finished above the
.300 mark for the season—R. J.
Englert .367, Hodge .355, Jimmy
Atterbury, .346, Carroll Lilly .333,
Larry Smith .333, Chris Sans
.307, Jim Sampson .302, Butch
Ghutzman .301 and pitcher
Charlie Kelley .333.
The pitching staff was led by
Kelley and Paul Czerwinski, each
with seven victories. Kelley had
one loss, Czerwinski two. Charlie
Jenkins and Jackie Binks finished
with 5-0 records.
Chandler loses six seniors from
the squad — Elmendorf, Hodge,
Sampson, Smith, Czerwinski and
Pat Jamison.

Elmendorf: Truly an All - American
Texas A&M’s Dave Elmendorf
IS an All-American, in every
sense of the word.
The 6-1, 190-pound graduate —
that’s right, graduate—goes be
yond the adjectives normally used
to describe someone with Elmen-
dorf’s ability.
this way: “He’s a five-way play
er. That’s how many ways he can
beat you—with his glove, with
his speed, with his arm, with a
single, or with a homerun.”
The word “graduate” was em
phasized because Elmendorf re
ceived his B.A. degree May 8,
1971. The Houston native was
graduated with honors despite be
ing a starter for four years in
both football and baseball and
never going to summer school.
His grade point ratio was 3.6
on a 4.0 scale in the ultra-tough
School of Economics.
If Elmendorf is named to the
All-America team when the
coaches meet in June, he will be
the first A&M athlete ever to earn
All-America honors in two sports.
Elmendorf plans to be a corpo
ration lawyer, but law school may
have to wait awhile. He was draft
ed third by the Los Angeles Rams
of the NFL and first by the New
York Yankees of the American
League, the third time he has
been selected in the pro baseball
draft.
That Elmendorf turned down a
lucrative offer by the Boston Red
Sox in order to complete his de
gree work and play out his eli
gibility is another insight into
the kind of man he is.
He has been praised by sports-
writers for his conversational abil
ity as well as his athletic ability,
And his academic prowess has
earned him a $1,000 NCAA post
graduate scholarship and a $500
scholarship from the National
Football Foundation.
Aftermath wins
Faculty-Staff
Elmendorf was named to the
Associated Press All-America
team as a safety in football, but
there are plenty of football All-
Americas. He is a strong candi
date for All-America honors in
baseball, but there have been
plenty of baseball All-Americas.
How many, though, earned their
degrees on time while not merely
participating but excelling in two
major sports?
bowling title
The Aftermath, a team repre
senting the A&M Math Depart
ment, defeated the Handicaps
Monday night 4-0 in a rolloff to
decide the Faculty-Staff Bowling
champion at the Memorial Stu
dent Center Lanes.
A fleet centerfielder, Elmendorf
batted .402 for the season and led
the team in triples, homei’uns and
runs batted in, despite missing
two weeks in the middle of the
season after getting hit in the
eye by a line drive during batting
pi-actice.
Captained by Carter Lyons, a
math instructor, the math team
took the playoff, which matched
the first half champs against the
second half champions.
When the season ended with the
Aggies winning a school record
31 games, Elmendorf was voted
team captain by his teammates
and shared the Most Valuable
Player Award with R. J. Englert.
A1 LaMacchia, scout for the At
lanta Braves who drafted Elmen
dorf out of high school, summed
up Elmendorf’s baseball talents
Other members of the champ
ionship team were Dr. J. J. Ma
lone, professor; Danny Parker, in
structor, and Larry Guseman, as
sistant professor, all of the Math
Department.
Members of the Handicaps, who
took the second half title were
Dr. Merrill Sweet of the Biology
Department, captain; Dr. Bo. Wil
liams of the A&M Research Foun
dation; Karl Kuchnow, assistant
professor of the Biology Depart
ment, and Andy Anerson of Rec
reation and Parks.
