THE BATTALION
Second-Bests Square Off Saturday
Aggies 9 Stingy Defense Takes on Explosive SMU Offense
It’ll be second-best rushing in
the Southwest Conference against
the second-best rushing defense
when SMU squares off against
the Texas Aggies at 1:30 p. m.
Saturday in Kyle Field.
SMU right now is averaging
336.4 yards per game on the
ground, second only to Texas’
341.4 average. Meanwhile, the
Aggies have given up only 166.1
yards a game on the ground, sec
ond only to Texas’ 166.9 norm.
The Aggies, struggling to fash
ion their first winning season in
six years, went through their fin
al full dress rehearsal Wednes
day. A&M now is 4-4 with three
games remaining and must win at
least two of them to insure their
first winning record since the 6-4
mark of 1967. After the SMU
game, they travel to Rice and
then play Texas here.
Comerback Tim Gray, who hurt
an ankle in the Arkansas game
last week, is very doubtful for the
Aggies. If he’s unable to play,
sophomore Charlie Arndt will get
the starting call.
Otherwise, the Aggies are in

Top American League Hurler
By GARY MICHOCES
Associated Press Sports Writer
PTTSBURGH (A*) — Jim Palmer’s penchant for
pancakes has waned but his pitching prowess hasn’t,
and that’s why he was named Wednesday as the
American League’s Cy Young Award winner for
1973.
The 28-year-old Baltimore Oriole right-hander
didn’t fork down nearly as many pancakes last sea
son as he did in years past when he made it a pre
game ritual and earned the nickname “Pancake.”
Yet he still stacked up 22 wins against 9 losses,
and his 2.40 earned run average was the best in the
league.
That impressed the Baseball Writers Association
of America enough to give Palmer the nod over
California’s strikeout machine, Nolan Ryan, and the
pitching mainstay of the Oakland A’s, Jim “Catfish”
Hunter.
Last season was Palmer’s fourth straight with
20 wins or better, and his overall record over the
past five seasons is 99-32.
awarded on the basis of five for a first-place nod,
three for second and one for third.
“I actually felt that I was the best pitcher in
1973,” he acknowledged. “I don’t know exactly
what the criteria is for the Cy Young winner, but
I guess in my case it went to a balanced perform
ance.”
Runnerup Ryan, also a 20-game winner, estab
lished an all-time major league strikeout record last
season with 383 and pitched two no-hitters. But
he finished 26 points shy of Palmer in the voting,
and he had a slightly higher 2.87 ERA.
Ryan’s 62 points, came on none first-place votes,
three for second and eight for third. Twenty-four
writers, two from each American League city, did
the voting.
Hunter, 21-5, was named on 22 ballots, more
than any other player, but he fell short with 62
points. The writers gave him one first-place vote,
13 for second and eight for third.
Detroit’s John Hiller, only relief pitcher among
the nine players receiving votes, was a distant fourth
Tuesday and Wednesday and is
ready for game action again.
The Aggies worked a lot on
goal line situations Wednesday.
At one end of Kyle Field the de
fense concentrated on stopping
SMU plays run by the scout team
while at the other end the offense
worked on scoring plays.
While SMU is the No. 2 rush
ing team in the SWC, the Aggies
are in the No. 3 spot with a 261.5
yard per game average.
In fact, the young Aggies rank
fairly high in all categories. They
are first in total defense, second
in rushing offense, second in pass
ing defense, fourth in total of
fense, third in rushing offense and
third in passing offense.
Tickets are still available for
the A&M-SMU game and can be
purchased at G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
