Drop Opening Baseball Series To Tec
A&M dropped the opening
Southwest Conference series to
Texas Tech two games to one on
route to a 3-3 split in holiday
baseball action.
A&M topped Tech in the open
er 11-4 behind the 13 strikeout
pitching of Bobby Falcon and
a three-run homer by Mike
Schraeder.
Saturday the luck of the Irish
left the Ags as Tech swept the
doubleheader 6-2 and 4-3.
The loss puts the Aggies two
games behind the favored Texas
Longhorns who swept TCU to
lead the young conference race.
“We will have to play a great
deal better than we did against
Tech,” said A&M coach Tom
Chandler referring to his team’s
chances of nabbing the confer
ence crown.
A&M could manage but three
hits off 6-8 Tech hurler Randy
Prince in Saturday’s first game,
and were plagued by untimely
errors and clutch Tech fielding
in the second.
Earlier holiday action saw the
Aggies beat Louisiana Tech 2-1
as junior college transfer Jim
Juhl won his second game for the
Aggies while giving up one hit.
The series with the Cajuns was
scheduled for four games but
rainy weather which seems to
be following the Aggies forced
postponement of the other three
contests.
The Aggies whipped Sam Hous
ton in the opening game of a
doubleheader last Tuesday 6-5
but the Bearkats rallied to hang
the first defeat of the season
11-2 in the nightcap.
Injuries have been part of
A&M’s recent downfall. Right-
fielder Jim Bratsen and center-
fielder John Woods have pulled
muscles and pitcher Clint Thomas
has a sore arm.
Tennis Team Splits Weekend Pair,

Friday the Aggies shut out
Sam Houston State, 7-0, and then
fell to highly-touted Oklahoma,
6-3, Saturday.
In doubles action, the Aggies
won only one of three tilts with
Park again in the limelight with
teammate Kermit Smith. They
defeated Dale Quigley and Jim
Bowles in straight sets, 7-5 and
6-4.
Highlighting Saturday’s action
was A&M top-seed, Bill Wright
defeating OU’s All-America pros
pect, Barr Baynton. Wright, a
sophomore, took the match in
three sets, 6-3, 3-6 and 6-2. Head
coach Omar Smith said he was
very impressed with Wright’s
performance.
Against Sam Houston, A&M
completely outclassed the hapless
Bearkats as all matches were
won in straight sets. Sam Hous
ton won only 20 of the 104 games
played.
Action gets heavy this week
as A&M will compete five of the
next seven days beginning with
a dual contest against Houston
Wednesday. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday the Aggies will
compete in the Rice Intercolle
giate tournament and will finish
the week hosting Oklahoma City
on Sunday beginning at 1:30 on
Varsity Courts.
