THE BATTALION
Small Hit Pleases Mays
Played in Series 22 Years Ago
NEW YORK (a*)—Willie Mays
got a bigger charge out of his
two-cent hit in the wild fifth
inning of the National League
title game than any of the 660
gold-plated homers in his 20-year
career.
“I wasn’t thinking about home
runs at all,” the 42-year-old re
tiring superstar said. “I just
wanted to get another run home.
We were leading 3-2 at the time.”
"I said to myself, ‘If we can
make it 4-2, we’ve got a margin
that will be hard to overtake’.”
With the cheers of 50,323 fans
ringing in his ears, the old center
fielder lashed at one of Clay
Carroll’s pitches. He got only a
piece of the ball and it bounded
high in front of the plate.
Felix Millan beat the throw to
home and crossed the plate with
another Met run.
Before the inning was over, the
Mets had pushed across four runs
on four hits en route to a 7-2
fifth and final game victory for
the National League pennant.
Now the miracle Mets, 12>/2
games back at one stage and in
last place on Sept. 1 go into the
World Series in an attempt to
duplicate the astounding cham
pionship of 1969.
“We can do it,” said a happy,
gum-chewing Mays while cham
pagne corks and photographer’s
flashbulbs popped all around him
in the celebrative victors’ dress
ing room.
“It’s not magic, it’s not mir
acles that make this team go—
it’s togetherness. We have had
a lot of injuries and hard luck.
But this is a team that plays
together and won’t quit.”
Shortstop Bud Harrelson,
doused with champagne, came
over and planted a wet kiss on
Mays’ cheek and right behind
Harrelson came the mayor of
New York, John Lindsay, to
shake Willie’s hand.
“God bless you, Willie,” the
mayor said.
Willie’s eyes showed a trace of
dampness.
“Thanks, Mr. Mayor,” he re
plied. “You just don’t know how
good it feels.”
Later he added with pride:
“I came in on a winner, and
I’m going out on a winner.”
Willie was a rookie on the
great New York Giants team
that won the National League
pennant in 1951. Traded to the
Mets at the start of the 1972
season to end his career before
his adoring New York public,
Willie announced his retirement
after cracking some ribs in a
game at Montreal Sept. 9.
His appearance at the plate
Wednesday, which almost shook
Shea Stadium down to its foun
dation, was his first official at
bat since that date.

Runners Abound in SWC
A&M’s Bean Among Leading Ru shers
There are more runners in the
Southwest Conference this year
than in a pair of World War II
stockings.
Latest to join the list of record
holders and near record holders
is A&M’s Bubba Bean, who came
back from a leg injury Saturday
with the 12th 200-yard rushing
day in SWC history. The sopho
more from Kirbyville picked up
204 yards in 22 carries in the
30-15 victory over Clemson to
move from tenth to third in SWC
rushing.
It was the first 200-yard rush
ing performance in the SWC since
A&M Women
Softballers
Take District
The A&M women’s softball
team won the district champion
ship here Tuesday night by beat
ing Sam Houston in the third
game of a two out of three series.
After losing the first game of
th e series Friday 5-0 in a rain-
shortened contest, the girls came
back “to show a real team ef
fort,” said Toby Crow, coach.
A&M won the second game
when the Sam Houston pitcher
walked in three runs and A&M
nailed what strikes she threw for
an 8-3 win.
The rubber game of the series
was sent into extra innings.
The Aggies held Sam Houston
scoreless in the extra stanza.
Debbie Berrier then tripled and
Ruth Whitley sacrificed her
home with the winning run for
A&M.
The Aggies will draw a second
place team from another district
for the state championship which
starts in two weeks.
This weekend the girls travel
to Temple Junior College for a
double elimination tourney. They
meet West Texas State at 1:30
p.m. Friday.
“We really expect to take first
place this weekend,” said Kay
Don, women’s athletic programs
director, especially if the teams
keep playing like they did against
Sam Houston.”
TCU’s Bobby Davis went 247
against UT Arlington in the 1970
opener. It was also the third
best rushing day for an Aggie,
being bettered by Bob Smith’s
all-time SWC record of 297
against SMU in 1950 and Smith’s
214 against Texas Tech in 1949.
Bean still trails Texas’ Roose
velt Leaks (106.7 yards per
game) and Baylor’s Lacy (101).
Lacy continued to close in on
Lacy continued to close in on
Baylor rushing records as he
pushed his seasonal yardage to
404 in four games. Pinkie Palmer
set the school record of 818 yards
in 1968.
Other rushing record setters
in the SWC this year fell off the
pace of the leaders. Alvin Max-
son, who set the career SMU
rushing record last week, is fifth
for the season with a 78.3 aver
age and Arkansas career holder
Dickey Morton is sixth at 76.5
yards per game.
In addition to moving from
fourth to second in rushing, Lacy
continued to hold the tandem
offense (yards rushing and re
ceiving) lead with an average of
105.3 yards per game. And Bean
accelerated from all the way out
of the rankings to take over
second with 86.0 yards per game.
Although SMU fell off its
blistering average in a loss to
Missouri, the Mustangs held their
team total offense and team
rushing offense leads. The Mus
tangs are gaining at 434.3 yards
per game to runner-up A&M’s
411.8, an d they’re still far ahead
in rushing with 371.8 yards per
game to Texas’ 248.3. Texas has
claimed the conference rushing
title five straight years since in
stalling the Wishbone attack in
1968, has won two national rush
ing championships and finished
second and tenth in those five
seasons.
