He faced only 26 batters in the seven innings, throwing 73 pitches. The fact that 27 of those pitches were balls is an indication of the con trol he had. Wallace struck out three and walked two, with eight men get ting on base for the Falcons. The hits off the southpaw were a bunt by C. D. Smith in the third, a solid rap to left by Jeff Grein er in the fourth and an infield dribbler by Jim Corrigan in the fifth. In addition, Wallace hit one batter and two others got on base on fielder’s choices. A&M got its only tally in the fourth inning when Englert hit a line drive at pitcher Steve Gu- lasey. He moved to third on a base hit by Bate and scored on Carroll Lilly’s sacrifice fly to right field. The Aggies had the bases loaded with one out, but relief pitcher Dave Commons put out the fire and held A&M at bay the next two innings. Janda’s no-hitter beat Air Force 6-0. Rich Haynie, the Fal con’s football quarterback, came into the game having thrown four shutouts his last six times out. Janda threw 94 pitches in the game, with 39 of them being into a double play, but Lilly and Sports schedule Wednesday Football: Spring workout, 4:00 Thursday Football: Spring workout, 4:00 Friday Baseball: Baylor, here, dou bleheader, 1:00 Track: Texas Relays, Austin Tennis: North Texas, here, 1:30 Football: Spring workout, 4:00 Saturday Baseball: Baylor, here, 2:00 Track: Texas Relays, Austin Tennis: SMU, Dallas Football: Scrimmage Rugby: Austin tournament.

Janda struck out 10 and walked three in getting his third win of the season. Only two plays were close to being hits. One was a slow grounder toward shortstop in the fifth inning. Hacker sprinted over from third, but he hobbled the ball for his third er ror of the year, preserving the no-hitter. The last play of the game, Corrigan hit a sinking lin er to right field, but Bystrom raced in to catch it with no trou ble. A&M scored in the first when Ghutzman led off with a walk, took second on a hit by Lilly, went to third on a fielder’s choice and came in on Hacker’s sacrifice fly. Two more runs were added to the total in the third inning when Englert bunted his way on base and stole second. He scored on Bate’s hit up the middle. Bate stole second and came home on Bystrom’s double. In the fourth frame, Haw thorne led off with a bloop dou ble to left and scored on Janda’s hit to right.

The right hander from Houston went six innings, allowing six hits, three runs and five walks and striking out four. Ben Sims, a freshman, was the winner in relief, and Mike Reaves, a junior college transfer came in in the eighth to quiet a Rattler uprising. The Aggies came from behind for the first time this year to win the game, 4-3 in extra in nings. St. Mary’s scored twice in the second and once in the fifth to lead 3-1 going into the top of the seventh. In that frame, A&M tied it with two runs after two were out. Jim Atterbury was on first after grounding into a fielder’s choice when Ghutzman connected for a base hit to center, moving Atterbury to second. Jim Lang ford hit in his tenth straight game to right field, driving in Atterbury. Ghutzman’s pinch runner, Mike Schraeder, scored the tying run when the throw to the plate got away from the catcher. In the extra inning, Hacker led off with a triple to the right- center field fence. Bate’s single brought him home with the win ning run, but Reaves relieved America’s top swimmers will compete in AAU event Sims in the bottom of the inning, retiring the Rattlers after the ty ing run was on second and the winning tally was on first with one out. Jackie Binks started the night cap, but he left after four in nings, having given up three hits, one run, one walk and striking out five. Charlie Jenkins came in for the last three frames, fan ning four, walking none, allow ing three hits and one run. St. Mary’s got a quick lead in the first on base hits sandwiched around an infield out, scoring one run on a fielder’s choice. The Aggies retaliated with a pair of scores in the second. Hacker and Bystrom both got base hits, and there were errors committed on each of them in pickoff at tempts. A&M added to the margin in the fifth inning when Hawthorne walked, took second on a sacri fice, went to third on an error and scored on a hit by Atterbury. Jenkins had things under con trol in the fifth, retiring the side in order with his side-arm hurl ing. He gave up a base hit in the sixth, but there was no real threat until the seventh. The Rattlers got three consecutive base hits, scoring one run and leaving the tying tally on third and the winner on first. The right-handed junior bore down, striking out one pinch hit ter and getting another to ground out, which moved the winning run to second. Jenkins ended the game by getting Jesse Causey to fly out to center field. The win pushed A&M’s season record to 17-7.

LUTZ Associated Press Sports Writer DALLAS 03?)—More than 20 world record holders, including America’s top 1972 Olympic hopefuls, begin competition today in the National AAU shortcourse Swimming championships at Loos Swimming Center. Heading the all-star cast for the men will be Mark Spitz and Gary Hall, who hold five Ameri can records between them. Spitz holds American short- course records in the 100-yard butterfly and the 200ryard free style. Hall is the record holder in the 400 yard individual med ley, the 200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard individual medley. Despite Spitz’ credentials, he’ll get a strong challenge from Southern Methodist’s Jerry Hei- denreich in the 200-yard free style and both butterfly events. Heidenreich set an American rec ord of 1:38.357 in winning the 200-yard freestyle at the NCAA championships last week. Although the shortcourse event here cannot qualify swimmers for the national Olympic trials Aug. 2-6 in Chicago, most of America’s top gold medal hope fuls will swim during the four- day meet. Eight countries besides the U.S. will be represented, includ ing Canada, France, Peru, Puer to Rico, Hawaii, Japan and Swe den. Eight events are scheduled to day, including men’s and wom en’s 200-yard backstroke, 100- yard breaststroke, 500-yard free style and 100-yard butterfly. Preliminaries begin at 11 a.m. and finals at 7 p.m. each day. U.S. Men’s Olympic swim ming coach Peter Daland and women’s coach Sherm Chavoor will be watching for Olympic prospects. America will be represented at the Olympics by a team of 28 fe male and 32 male swimmers. They’ll try to repeat their 1968 performance when the U.S. men won 26 of a possible 39 medals. The women won 10 of 15 gold medals.
