The Aggies, now 17-7 for the year and 3-3 in loop play, host the Waco school in a 1:00 dou- jleheader Friday and a 2:00 sin gle game Saturday. The Bears were 17-22 last sea son, with a SWC finish of fifth with a 7-10 mark. Baylor is expected to be better this year, with three starting pitchers back and a solid infield. The Aggies are hitting the ball at a .266 clip on the year and an average of .260 in SWC games. Pitching has been the A&M strong suit, with the hurl- ers combining for a 2.08 earned run average. Nine of the 24 starts have been complete games, with two no-hitters and three other shutouts being thrown. Bruce Katt and Charles Kelley will start Friday’s games. Katt, a lefty, is 3-2 for the year, hav ing gone 36 innings. His earned run average is 0.61, and he has given up 26 hits and nine walks, while striking out 28. Kelley, a right hander, is 3-3, with an earned run average of 2.96. He has gone 39 1/3 innings, giving up 29 hits and 10 bases on balls. Kelley has struck out 40 this year, and he has completed four games in five starts. Both pitchers are seniors. After throwing a no-hitter against the Air Force Academy Falcons in San Antonio Thurs day, Steve Janda has established himself as Saturday’s starter. He is 3-1, with an earned run aver age of 0.84. In 21 1/3 innings, the junior college transfer from Blinn has allowed eight hits and 12 walks, while fanning 24. A&M’s starting lineup will con sist of Butch Ghutzman, .213, at first base, Jim Langford, .306, at second base, Carroll Lilly, .262, at shortstop, Jim Hacker, .290 at third base, Sandy Bate, .298, or Jim Atterbury, .180, in left field, R. J. Englert, .442, in center field, and Karl Bystrom, .375, or Gene Reinarz, .231, in right field. The catcher will be Tommy Haw thorne, .417, or Mike Frazier, .087. Englert has a 16-game hitting streak going, having belted out base hits in 21 of the Aggies’ 24 games this season. The senior has 38 hits and has scored 19 runs. Englert has batter in 19 runs and has hit four doubles and four triples. All these marks are the best on the team. The Aggies beat Baylor all three games in Waco last year, 7-6, 8-2 and 10-5. The Bears’ three top pitchers, Ricky Fox, Steve Stuart and Jim (Satch) Sanders, are back. The trio ac counted for 14 of Baylor’s 17 wins last season. Fox was 6-4 last year, with a 1.95 ERA, Stuart was 4-4 with 3.79, and Sanders was 4-4 with a 3.48. Stuart had a win over Texas early in the season last year. In the infield, Coach Dutch Schroeder will have two-year starter Roland Lundy at first base. Lundy is 6-2 and 200, and he hit .273 last year. Wendell Crabb or John Walters will be at second base. Crabb is a two- year letterman, while Walters is Nicklaus looms over Masters field AUGUSTA, Ga. <^) —The im mense figure of Jack Nicklaus, always the man to beat and doub ly dangerous here, cast a giant shadow over an elite field gather ed for the 1972 Masters champion ship as the Golden Bear sought the first leg on the never-accomp lished professional grand slam of golf. The 32-year-old power hitter, regarded by many as the most proficient practitioner the game has ever known, held his custom ary role as the favorite Wednes day on the eve of the start of the 36th Masters, one of the world’s four major tests of golfing great ness. He’s made no secret of the fact that he’s gunning for a one-year sweep of all four of the big ones —the Masters, the PGA, the British and American Open cham pionship. “To do it,” Nicklaus said, “you have to win the first one.” This is it, and the one-time fat boy—now trim and muscular —came to the famed Augusta National Golf Club course armed with grim determination, a fasci nation for the major titles and the most impressive set of cre dentials ever offered at this stage of the season. Still, the big blond with the massive legs and overpowering game must share the spotlight— at least in the early stages—with a variety of challengers. Foremost among them is the squat and swarthy Lee Trevino, iiUMiaa ITUAL CE COMPANt iton, Illinois 18| NOW SHOWING 1 p. m. - 3:05 - 5:10 - 7:10 - 9:17 Warren Beatty & Goldie Hawn In “DOLLARS” fi AM P,U S') NOW SHOWING 1:10 - 3:15 - 5:20 - 7:25 - 9:30 QUEEN TONITE — FIESTA NITE “EL QUELIBE” Skyway Twin •.-v.Vc WEST SCREEN AT 7:00 P.

Trevino is making a return to Augusta after a two-year boy cott of the tournament he once vowed he’d never play in again. And there’s tough little Gary Player of South Africa, at the top of his precision game and heading one of the strongest for eign threats in a decade. And 42-year-old Arnold Palmer, seeking a return to glory in the tournament only he has won four times. And a youth movement in Grier Jones, Lanny Wadkins, Jerry Heard and Johnny Miller. And a flock of tour-toughened campaigners — led by towering George Archer—eager to acquire the sporting world’s most cele brated bit of haberdashery—the famed green jacket that goes to the winner. But it’s Nicklaus and his search for the sweep that occupies most of the attention. “I don’t think it can be done,” said Trevino. “But if it can, Jack is the guy to do it.” “Possible,” said Palmer. “Very, very difficult, but possible.” “In addition to ability, enor mous ability, it would require fantastic luck,” said Player, who has won all four but not in the same year. “The odds on it would be incredible. I don’t think it can be done. But if it can, Jack is the only man capable.” Nicklaus himself admits it’s a long shot. “I think my chances of winning any one of the four would be very good,” he said. “But the odds on winning all four would be very long.” He came to Augusta almost a week early to hone his awesome talents. And he brought with him a record of two victories and two second place finishes this season and $199,473 in winnings, making him the first man ever to go into the Masters with more than $100,- 000 in earnings. He’s moved past Palmer and into first place on the all-time money list. And he’s due. He’s won this title three times and finished sec ond twice. But his last triumph on this layout, brightened by the flowering dogwood and azalea, was five years ago. But Nicklaus, who gave up smoking in his preparations, is less than entirely pleased. “I’ve just been fiddling around, trying to work some things out in the swing,” he said. “I’ve had to go with something that wasn’t entirely my swing earlier this year. I went with it because it was the only thing I had going. “I’ve won when I wasn’t play ing all that well. And, at other times, I’ve played well and walked off the course with nothing to show for it.” Trevino, the player of the year last season, hasn’t won this sea son, but has been in position sev eral times. “I’m hitting the ball real well,” he said, “but I’ve been having trouble putting. Sometimes I was putting so bad it’d make you want to cry. But it’s coming around.” He and Player probably rank as the major challengers to Nick laus. Player, the 1961 champion, won in New Orleans two weeks ago and was just one stroke off the lead at Greensboro Sunday when he was disqualified for fail ure to sign his card after shooting a third round 67. “It may have been as fine a round as I’ve ever played in America,” the black-clad little warrior said. Palmer, too, blew a chance to win. He led by two strokes with three holes to play—then made triple bogey six. His move, how ever, hinted that the charger who dominated the tournament in the early ’60s may have pulled his game together for another bid. “If you were to ask me to name a single goal I would have for 1972, it would be to win one or two or even more, of the major championships. I played the first part of the season with the Mas ters in mind,” he said. Among the other major con tenders would be placid Billy Cas per, Tony Jacklin of England, Australian Bruce Crampton and Archer. Jacklin won three weeks ago. Crampton has been in posi tion to win a half dozen times this season. And Archer is the only man besides Nicklaus to win twice this year. And, too, there’s 59-year-old Sam Snead, defending champion Charles Goody, rebounding Chi Chi Rodriguez, Tom Weiskopf, Bert Yancey, Frank Beard, Bob Murphy, Dave Hill and Tommy Aaron, who has lost twice in playoffs this season. Schoolboy track star commits to A&M A&M track coach Charles Thomas announced Tuesday that Sammy Dierschke, two-time Class 3A champ in the 100 and 220, has committed to attend A&M on a track scholarship. Dierschke, a 6-2, 185-pounder from Sealy, was named to the high school All-America team last year as a junior. He has career best times of 9.4 in the 100, 21.0 in the 220, 48.00 in the 440, and has run a 46.9 leg on the mile relay. He has won the 100 and 220 for the past two years at the state meet. Dierschke’s coach is Leroy Hauerland, a former A&M foot ball player. a junior college transfer. Crabb, sophomore letterman Tommy Oliphant and alternate starter Bob Redding have been battling it out at shortstop, while Denny Copeland is at third base. The left fielder will be Raul Zamora, a senior letterman who hit .315 last year. Rusty Hicks, a freshman redshirt, will be in right field. The center fielder is Tom Stan ton, the basketball “hot dog” who incited the brawl at the A&M-Baylor basketball game in Waco. Stanton played three games as catcher at the end of last year. He was the leader of the verbal abuse and obscenities the Aggies received when they played baseball in Waco last sea son. The catcher will be Reggie Gwin or Billy McElroy. Gwin is a junior two-year letterman, and McElroy is a sophomore letter- man. The two alternated as start ing catcher last year, with Gwin hitting .158 and McElroy earning a .069 average. The Baylor series features the SWC “Battle of the Batgirls,” since the Bears will bring along the four coeds they chose from the nine applicants they had ear lier in the season. A&M, with twelve Diamond Darlings, matches Baylor in starting such a program this year, although the Aggie coeds have been much more active. LAKFA1EW CLUB 3 Miles N.

Nixon said he had read the commission report, which was released earlier this week, but had not changed his mind. “I oppose the legalization of marijuana and that includes its sale, possession and use,” Nixon said. The President said the legal system would not work if an act was "half legal and half illegal.” The commission recommended trafficking in marjuana should continue to be a crime but said there should be no penalty for its use at home.
