Aggies need hits in twinbill Monday By JOHN CURYLO Battalion Sports Editor The chore for the Aggie base ball team Monday will be to hit the ball when St. Mary’s comes to town for a 1:00 doubleheader. A&M is 4-4 for the season. Monday also will mark the de but of the “Diamond Darlings,” A&M coeds chosen to serve as batgirls. They will assist with keeping equipment in order and announcing lineups and batters over the public address system. Things started off well for A&M in the hitting department, with 20 hits being credited to Aggie batters in the first Iowa State doubleheader. Since then, though, they have managed to hit safely 38 times in the last six games. In the past three outings, 15 base hits have been A&M’s. The twinbill with St. Mary’s Monday and two games with La mar University Tuesday will be the last chance for the Aggies to tune up before conference play begins here next Saturday against Texas Christian. Coach Tom Chandler will choose from an 11-man staff for his starters. Bruce Katt and Charles Kelley, both seniors, are the top pitchers, with Charlie Jenkins be ing the only junior letterman. Jenkins is working out with the team full time after finishing the basketball season Saturday. Other junior hurlers are trans fers Mike Reaves and Steve Jan- da and squadman Josh Garrett. Sophomore left hander Jackie Binks is looked upon as a pitcher with great potential. The other sophomore pitchers are Jim Wal lace and Dennis Brantly. Fresh men trying to break into starting positions are Bobby Wittkamp and Ben Sims. Catcher has been a question mark thus far, with duty being shared by Neil McKittrick and Terry Overton. Tommy Haw thorne and Mike Frazier, both freshmen, are also trying out at this position. The infield is intact with Butch Ghutzman at first, Jim Langford at second, Carroll Lilly at short stop and Jim Hacker at third. Freshman Mike Schraeder also plays shortstop, and Lilly can be used at second base. In the outfield, R. J. Englert, the team’s best hitter, is a cinch starter in center field. Left field has been shared by Jim Atter- bury and Tom O’Jibway, while Sandy Bate and Karl Bystrom Reserve netters defeat A&I By BILL HENRY Assistant Sports Editor Coach Omar Smith got good mileage from his reserves here Thursday afternoon as they de molished Texas A&I, 9-0, in dual tennis action. A&I was able to win but one single set all afternoon as the team of Rauschuber and Smith took the second set of a match from the team of Fikes and Con nell, 6-4. The Aggies won the match, however, with two sets of 6-2. The win was A&M’s first since the Corpus Christi Invitational Feb. 26 when they split four matches coming in eleventh place. A&M’s squad was made up en tirely of reserves with the excep tion of Dick Fikes, the Aggies’ top-rated player, in Thursday’s action. “I wanted to give some of the younger kids a chance to play,” Smith said. “I am very proud of the way they played under pres sure.” For the visitors, the loss was the third in five outings.

(A*) — Colorado football Coach Eddie Crowder says he’s working on a new coaches’ group to pick its own football coach of the year. Crowder, in Omaha for a char ity affair, said he has come to “pay a tribute to Bob Devaney,” coach of national champion Ne braska, who he said was the vic tim of a “great tragedy” for fail ure to win the Football Coaches of America Coach of the Year Award. He said the organization has a “peculiar system for picking feated in the fall, 6-3) in Baton Rouge and Indiana, also in Baton Rouge, on Monday morning. In diana last year was the runner- up in the Big 10 to Michigan, who defeated the Aggies earlier this week. In singles action, Dick Fikes of A&M defeated Gary Rauschuber, 6-2, 6-2; Mike Mills of A&M de feated Don O’Conner, 6-1, 6-0; Jere Mills of A&M defeated George Jones, 6-0, 6-1; Kermit Smith of A&M defeated Reed Smith, 6-1, 6-1; Mitch Barker of A&M defeated Gordon Buckley, 6-1, 6-1; and Jeff Carter of A&M defeated Charles Pollman, 6-1, 6-3. Doubles action results were: Fikes and Courson of A&M de feated Rauschuber and Smith, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2; Smith and Mike Mills defeated Buckley and Poll- man, 6-2, 6-2; and Jere Mills and Carl Jaedecke defeated Hoover and O’Conner, 6-0, 6-2. The Aggies’ next home contest will be Thursday, March 16, when they host Texas Wesleyan at 1:30 the coach of the year—an un workable system. It’s a great tragedy that Bob Devaney has never been coach of the year.” In a pre-dinner interview, Crowder said he and Billy Ves sels of Miami, a former team mate, “have been working on try ing to make a new coach of the year award, something along the lines of the Heisman Trophy, to be voted on by the head coaches of major colleges only.” The trouble with the current coaches association, Crowder said, is the heavy influence of assistant coaches. “And the southeast and south have about twice as many assistant coaches as any other parts of the country.” He said sectional loyalty played an important part in the selection of Alabama’s Paul Bryant as coach of the year, over Devaney, whose Nebraska team defeated Bryant’s Alabama team in the Orange Bowl to become the na tion’s No. 1 football team for the second year in a row. Crowder, whose Colorado team was ranked No. 3 and Chuck Fair banks, coach of No. 2 ranked Ok lahoma, joined Big Eight Com missioner Chuck Neinas, Nebras ka Gov. J. J. Exon and other Ne braskans in honoring the Nebras ka coaching staff headed by De vaney.

The Aggies have scored 13 runs in the last six games, including two shutouts. This season, A&M has left 56 runners on base, two less than the number of total hits. A&M has gone into extra in nings in three games this year, losing once to Iowa State and splitting on a home-and-home basis with Sam Houston. A March 31 doubleheader is scheduled with St. Mary’s in San Antonio. Triangular track meet set for A&M this weekend A&M’s track team returns to cinder action Saturday as it com petes in a triangular meet in Houston against Rice and LSU beginning at 2 p.m. The Aggies’ top performer, Marvin Mills, is again under the weather and uncertain about com peting in the meet. Rice is fresh off a tremendous win at the Border Olympics where they ousted favored Texas, 110-101. In that same meet, A&M finished fourth with 53 points. “LSU looks to be the team to beat, however,” coach Charley Thomas said. “They have a real strong program and just finished building a real nice track facility last year strictly for track.” Performers looked on for points are Marvin Taylor in the high jump, Willie Blackmon and Hor ace Grant in the 880-yard run, Billy Porter, Marvin Mills and Steve Barre in the 100-yard dash, Harold McMahan in the pole vault, Scotty Jones in the 120- yard high hurdles, David Prince in the 440-yard intermediate hur dles, Donny Rogers, Porter and Mills in the 220-yard dash, Wayne Mills and Doug Brodhead in the 440-yard dash, Phil McGuire in the high jump, and of course the two relay teams. “I think we are beginning to come around,” assistant coach Ted Nelson said. “There are a few of the men that are not in shape yet but we feel they are on the way.” Next competition for the thin- clads will be in Arlington March 18 when they compete in the Ar lington Relays.

It’s probably because you’re human. They know that there lies within you an urgent lack of confidence in yourself, a feeling of dependence on a Supreme Being. When you lift your heart in prayer or raise your voice in hymns of praise, your spiritual energy is renewed. They know, too, there is something in* the human heart that makes men brothers — more fully satisfied to SHARE in worship. Going to church is all that . . . and much more! i CHURCH GOING?
