However, those last two Aggie squads rank first and second in most wins in a single season in school history. Graduation sliced off a sizeable portion of baseball players, and Coach Tom Chandler is faced with an unpredictable year. Gone is All-American R. J. Englert, who hit safely in all but five of the games he played last year, in ad dition to hitting over .300 three consecutive years. Gone, too, is the ace pitching duo of Bruce Katt and Charlie Kelley, both key figures the past three sea sons. Another loss was three- fourths of a good infield. First baseman Butch Ghutz- man, second baseman Jim Lang ford and shortstop Carroll all played out their eligibility. The only full-time starter returning off the 1972 squad is Jim Hacker, the third baseman. Hacker, a junior from Temple, was the first round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox, and he established himself as one of the most consistent players on the team a year ago. Other returnees looked to for help will be outfielder-second baseman Sandy Bate, shortstop Mike Schraeder, outfielder Jim Atterbury, catchers Tommy Haw thorne and Mike Frazier, out fielder Gene Reinarz and first baseman John Woods. The pitching staff will be led by Jackie Binks, Steve Janda and Charlie Jenkins, with help com ing from Mike Reaves, Bobby Wittkamp, Jim Wallace, Josh Garrett and Ben Sims. Additional mound strength will be provided by four of the seven players signed by A&M thus far. Junior college hurlers Bobby Fal con of Panola and Jimmy Juhl of San Jacinto, and high school pitchers David Lockett of burne and Clint Thomas of lene Cooper are the new; mound men. Other recruits are Pane: catcher-outfielder Larry : cliffe and San Jacinto Jcl baseman Paul Miller. One of the highlights of i baseball is the Diamond Darf the A&M batgirls.

Experience and potential key note the Aggie tennis team which Coach Omar Smith will field this year, and A&M netters face a mean schedule—again. Smith and his assistant, Rich ard Barker, have seen their charges face such powers as Cor pus Christi, Trinity, St. Edward’s, Michigan, Oklahoma and West Texas State, but the success A&M had in the Southwest Conference last year makes it all worthwhile. The Aggies finished second in the league tournament after coming in fourth in the round- robin action of dual matches which preceded the conference meet. Three of four singles play ers advanced in the tourney, and only eventual champion Southern Methodist did better with all four winning first-round matches. Both schools sent their two doubles teams past initial matches. The best part of last season’s results is that one of those dou bles teams returns intact and one member of the other is back for his sophomore season. Dan Cour- son, a junior, and Billy Hoover, a sophomore, were defeated in the quarterfinals, but they get an other shot at the title this sea son. Dickie Pikes has graduated, but his partner, Bill Wright, is back again. Courson was the only under classman to advance in singles play, but he returns to a squad which features five seniors. The other top players for the coming season should be Lawton Park, Jere Mills, Mike Mills and Kermit Smith.

But if you’ve got a man-sized appetite, we’ve got a Super Treat to take care of it. First, a Super Shef: a full quarter-pound of lean beef broiled over an open flame with all the trimmings from fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes to hot, melted cheese. More than enough for most appetites, but not the man-sized one. For that BURGER CHEF rounds out the Super Treat with crisp, tender french fries and a very large soft drink. Treat your man-sized appetite to a Super Treat. The more good food BURGER CHEF puts together, the better the treat. * tm Family Restaurants 2301 Texas Ave. 822-6334 Coca Cola the “Keal Thing”
