THE BATTAIL
After two near misses
Aggie baseballers try to change pasl
The past two years, the A&M
baseball team has had the chance
to win the Southwest Conference
title, only to see the University
of Texas take the crown.
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. Picked*
outstanding team of balfl:
among colleges and univert
in the nation last spring, ther
help keep equipment in order
trieve foul balls, and hand!!

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.

For the man-sized
appetite:
(The SuperIVeat)
This treat isn’t for everyone.
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.
