Neither team can afford to drop any further behind the talented and heavily favored Texas Longhorns in the young SWC race. Texas is 3-0 in loop play, hav ing swept TCU in Austin last weekend and now owns an 18 game winning streak. A&M has had problems with injuries ever since returning from Florida. Outfielders Jim Bratsen and John Woods have pulled muscles, pitcher Clint Thomas has had arm problems, Mike Schraeder has an injured thumb and third baseman Jim Hacker has the flu. The Aggies have also had their share of problems with the weath er as well. After winning five of seven games in sunny Florida, they have been plagued with er ratic conditions which have caused numerous rainouts of games and workouts. Coach Tom Chandler thinks the weather bugaboo may be part of A&M’s problems. “We have had to stop from a week to 10 days at a time and this has caused us to lose the edge we had,” Chandler explain ed. “When we came back from Florida we were at our peak but have not been able to hold it be cause of the rain.” In Friday’s 1 p.m. doublehead er the Aggies will send Thomas and Bobby Wittkamp to the hill for the pitching duties. “Thomas will pitch on a see- how-he-throws basis since his arm has been sore,” said Chand ler. Bobby Falcon will handle the mound chores for A&M Saturday in the single game. Falcon is 1-0 in conference action and sports 27 strikeouts in 15% innings. In Rice the Aggies will face one of the toughest pitchers in the league. Mike Pettit, an all- SWC performer last year, will oppose A&M Friday. Pettit had the lowest ERA in the conference last season. Bruce Henley is slated to pitch for Rice in Friday’s second game with the third Owl hurler un announced. Joe Zylka is Rice’s leading hit ter with a .438 average, followed by Bryan Boyne at .423. Catcher Mike Frazier is the Aggies’ leading batsman with a .444 conference mark, good enough for sixth among SWC foes. Hacker is next at .427 and Jim Atterbury is third at .333. In other SWC action this week end besides Texas at Baylor, Houston visits TCU and SMU travels to Texas Tech. The Aggies play their final non-conference games of the sea son when Minnesota visits Kyle Field for doubleheaders on Tues day and Wednesday at 1 p.m. Lester Hayes Signs With Ags Lester Hayes, a quick-moving defensive end from Houston Wheatley, Tuesday signed a football scholarship to attend Texas A&M University. Hayes, 6-1 and 190, has 4.3 average speed for 40 yards. He was an all-district defensive end for three years and was all-city last season. He was the No. 7 man on Wheatley’s state championship basketball team and ran the 100 and 220 in track. Last weekend he was clocked at 9.5 in the 100 and 21.5 in the 220. HOPING FOR REPEAT SATURDAY. Willie Blackmon, Horace Grant and Harold Davis, finishing one, two, three in the 880-yard run held here two weeks ago, hope for the same results in the College Station Rela ys set Saturday on Kyle Field.
