THE BATTAU
Aggies take on Longhorns in basebal
With the Southwest Conference
baseball championship hinging on
the outcome, the Texas Aggies
travel to Austin this weekend for
a season-ending series with the
University of Texas Longhorns.
A&M, now 26-11 for the season
and 9-6 in SWC play, is third in
the league chase for the title.
Texas and Texas Christian are
tied for the lead, 10-5.
The Homed Frogs will be in
action this weekend against
Southern Methodist. For the Ag
gies to win the crown, they need
to sweep the Texas series while
SMU takes two from TCU.
An interesting feature of the
series will be the head-to-head
battle for the league’s batting
championship between A&M cen
ter fielder R. J. Englert and Tex
as third baseman David Chalk.
Englert currently has a con
secutive string of 27 games in
which he has hit safely this sea
son. His SWC streak is 15. Eng
lert has hit safely in 32 of the 35
games he has played this year.
Englert and five other seniors
will be closing out their college
baseball careers this weekend.
First baseman Butch Ghutzman,
second baseman Jim Langford,
shortstop Carroll Lilly and pitch
ers Bruce Katt and Charlie Kelley
play their last A&M baseball
games Friday and Saturday.
Other starters for the Aggies
will be catcher Tommy Haw
thorne, third baseman Jim Hack
er, left fielder Jim Atterbury and
right fielder Karl Bystrom. Be
sides Katt and Kelley, the other
starting pitcher will be Jim
Wallace.
The Longhorns will be going
for their eighth straight SWC
title this weekend. Texas was car
ried the past few seasons by fine
pitching, but this year’s squad,
picked to win the championship
in pre-season polls, was supposed
to be blessed with great hitting.
Tennis agreement reached
between forces involved
LONDON (A*) — Warring ten
nis factions made peace again
Wednesday and paved way for
the world’s top players to com
pete in the major championships
as well as the Davis Cup.
Impact on the Davis Cup prob
ably will prove the most signifi
cant feature of the agreement
reached between Texas million
aire Lamar Hunt, proprietor of
the World Championship Tennis
troupe, and the International
Lawn Tennis Federation.
The agreement was announced
simultaneously in London and in
Brookline, Mass.
In London, Allan H e y m a n,
Danish president of the ILTF,
said under the pact, which still
must be ratified by the full mem
bership, the confusing distinction
between contract pros and inde
pendent pros will disappear.
This will make such pros as

first introduced The rain tire & TJGEJR MIA/
ble for the Davis Cup as soon as
their present contracts with Hunt
expire. Hunt will become a pro
moter instead of a tour conduc
tor and owner. Hunt said some
of the contracts have four years
to run.
In the past, professionals un
der contract to Hunt have been
ineligible for the Davis Cup, the
competition for world suprem
acy. However, the Davis Cup is
governed by the Davis Cup na
tions and not the ILTF.
Hunt, in London, said:
“The game is now truly open,
and WCT’s goals are intact. All
the world’s great tennis players
will be able to play on the high
est artistic levels ever offered in
the sport.
“The spectator is the big win
ner, for now opponents will be
determined by tennis playing
ability rather than by politics.”
Because ratification must be
approved by the entire member
ship in Helsinki, Finland, in
July, the agreement cannot affect
the 1972 Wimbledon tournament,
scheduled June 28-July 8.
Thus Wimbledon, the grand
dame of all tennis championships,
will have to be played without
the 32 pros in Hunt’s stable, in
cluding the 1971 winner, John
Necombe. However, ratification
is expected to come in time to
benefit the U.S. Open at Forest
Hills Aug. 30-Sept. 12.
This distinction has created
considerable confusion, particu
larly among fans.
Tennis players of all classes
will be free to compete in both
ILTF and WCT tournaments and
WCT players will be encouraged
to compete in the four major
championships — Wimble-
ton, French, Italian and the U.S.
Open at Forest Hills — by mak
ing them qualifying events for
the WCT final.
The truce was greeted enthusi
astically by tennis officials
throughout the world.
Cepeda frustrated, angry,
but will not quit baseball
ATLANTA </P> — Orlando Ce
peda is frustrated. He is angry.
But he is not quitting baseball.
“I want to play and soon,” the
strapping first baseman for the
Atlanta Braves said Wednesday
while denying reports that he will
retire from baseball because of
an ailing left knee.
“I didn’t say I was going to
quit,” the 34-year-old native of
Ponce, Puerto Rico said. “I did
say I was tired of all the needles
and pain. And that some days I
feel like quitting but the knee is
getting better each day.
“I want to play, I’ve played
baseball all my life. It is my
life.”
So far this season, Cepeda, a
hulking 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds,
has been to bat twice. Last year
the former San Francisco Giant
and St. Louis Cardinal managed
to play in 71 games and batted
.276 with 14 home runs and 44
runs batted in before his injured
knee had to be operated on in
August.
“I was on a weightlifting pro
gram after the operation,” the
1967 National League Most Val
uable Player said. “Then I played
winter ball and the knee was
coming along.
“In spring training in Florida
the doctor told me not to continue
with the weights. I did what he
said and the knee got worse.
“I saw my own doctor in New
York and he said to go back to
the weights.”
Cepeda’s scheduled comeback
was placed about three weeks
behind, he says and only now is
the ailing knee starting to come
back to normal.
“It feels much better but I
have to wait and see. Luman Har
ris, Braves manager, has been
great. He doesn’t want me to
rush it.
“When I return I want to come
back on a regular basis,” said
Cepeda, who earns a reported
$90,000 a year. “Luman told me
to be sure it’s okay before I play.”
Cepeda, a 14-year major league
veteran with a .309 career batting
average, is in his fourth season
with the Braves after being
traded from St. Louis for Joe
Torre, and says the sitting is
killing him.
“I sit and watch. It’s very frus
trating and makes me angry sit
ting o nthe bench,” he said.

The trio of Mike Markl, Chalk
and John Langerhans was billed
as the “Murderer’s Row” of the
league, but their bats have been
tamed in single games against
Texas Tech and TCU. April 7-8,
the Rice Owls swept a three-game
series in Houston, one of the ma
jor upsets ever pulled off on the
Austin school.
Texas has back many of the
top players from the team that
a year ago swept an SWC series
from the Aggies to win the title.
The Longhorns won 9-6, 3-0 and
10-9, due mainly to the pit
of Burt Hooton.

Vol.
Blues coach picks Bosk
in match against Rangen
5'
ST. LOUIS WP> — “You’d have
to rate Boston among the great
est teams the game’s ever seen,”
the coach of hockey’s vanquished
St. Louis Blues declared.
A1 Arbour, seemingly relieved
his team was through with the
high-scoring Bruins, made the
assessment Wednesday following
a 5-3 Boston victory on Arena ice
the night before.
Asked to comment on the Stan
ley Cup finals starting Sunday
between Boston and the New
York Rangers, Arbour added, “If
New York is going to do well, its
defense is going to have to be
super. And their goaltending is
going to have to be super, too.
“It’s difficult to size up any
one series and predict the out
come,” Arbour said, however.
Boston's got so much experi
ence. They don’t have any
rookies, and I think the Rangers
have only one.”
Backing Arbour’s praise of
Boston was a seven-goal pace
with which the Bruins marched
through St. Louis in four games.
Flourishing a deadly power
play, they scored on half of 20
opportunities with St. Louis a
player short and poured in 28
goals for a four-game series cup
record.
Taking over as the Bruins’
most devastating line were Fred
Stanfield, Johnny Bucyk and
Johnny McKenzie, who combined
for 10 goals and 32 points in the
sweep.
The line, which set a Cup rec
ord of 52 points in 14 games two
years ago, now has 46 in nine
games entering the finals.
“The thing about Boston is
you can’t concentrate on stopping
just one player or just one lit;
Arbour said. “They all set
from just about any placeat«
time.”
“The only guy we’ve got Id
is Bucyk,” said Boston coachli *
Johnson before the Bruins ij nomi
ed for home. “He’s got eithe
hip injury or a charley hoe it-wee
Kl(
fust
We don’t know for sure.”
Johnson, like Arbour, lalni

“We know they’ve been pk]
ing well,” he said in respect ln j m0
iions
New York, which Boston bes;

“We handled them prettyi:
