THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1974
Rugby team national champs
By TONY GALLUCCI
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas A&M Rugby team
traveled to Baton Rouge last
weekend to compete in the Na
tional Intercollegiate Tournament
and returned carrying four wins
and the National Championship.
Bolstered by outstanding play
from wings Steve Beckendam and
Randy Harju, the Ags managed
to down Georgetown Univ., 32-0,
and North Carolina State, 26-3,
in first round action.
In the semifinal match against
Florida State on Sunday, fly half
Hillard Simmons controlled the
ball well for A&M while David
Esslinger made the important
tackles and George Alden key
runs. The game with FSU ended
in a 7-all tie, but A&M prevailed
in the tiebreaker consisting of the
teams trading kicks until one
team missed. Team spokesman
Simmons noted, “Florida State
was definitely the number two
team and was probably the best
team A&M has ever played.”
In the final game, LSU effec
tively shut off the outside run
ning threat of Harju and Beck
endam. Outside forwards Bobby
Way, Jim Goulding and Ken Bu-
chek took up the slack, though,
and the Aggies prevailed, 12-0.
Simmons also indicated that
“Sports Illustrated” was present
but does not know if that maga
zine will publish a story.
The team, sponsored by the
Former Students Association, will
travel to Dallas this weekend to
play the Harlequins and will re
turn the next week to host a re
match with LSU.
Ags paste St. Mary’s,
keep perfect record
By TED BORISKIE
The A&M baseball team contin
ued to be a big hit Tuesday as
they blasted St. Mary’s University
on both ends of a doubleheader,
3-1 and 19-5, extending their sea
son record to 6-0.
Paul Miller got things off to
a bang with a home run hit off of
St. Mary’s Bruce Vetters’ second
pitch of the opening game. Vetters
settled down and held the Aggies
to six hits, their most punchless
performance of the season.
Jim Bratsen nailed a double to
left field and was driven in by
Mike Schraeder’s single in the
fourth inning for the second score
of the game. Catcher Mike Fraz
ier’s bases empty homer in the
fifth inning concluded the scoring
for the Ags.
Jackie Binks pitched a scoreless
game until the seventh inning
when St. Mary’s pinch runner Joe
Gonzales apparently scored on a
signle by Steve Yeglis but A&M’s
Jim Hacker caught Gonzales on an
appeal play when he failed to
touch third base on his way home.
Cleo Bustamante scored later in
the inning for St. Mary’s only
mer were driven in on a double by
Woods. Hacker made it to first
on a fielder’s choice and Bratsen
drove in Woods with a single. Bate
walked to load the bases and
Schraeder, coming up for his sec
ond appearance of the inning,
tripled to unload them.
Russ sacrificed to bring in
Schraeder and recorded the first
out of the inning. Raymer popped
up to first to give the Aggies two
outs with the bases empty.
The Ags were far from finished
as Hawthorne singled and Miller
drove him to third with another
single to left field. Woods walked
to load the bases and Hacker
singled to drive in Miller and
Hawthorne. Bratsen fanned to end
the inning but not before the Ag
gies had scored an amazing 13
runs to take a 19-2 lead.
Because of the length of the
fifth inning, the game was short
ened to seven innings.
St. Mary’s came back with three
runs in the top of the seventh but
by then, as two-thirds of the
crowd who had already left ob
viously knew, it was all over but
the shouting.
The powerful A&M hitting
came back to life in the second
game as the Aggies meted out
20 hits to drive in 19 runs.
Twins pace PV
After being held scoreless in the
first inning, the Aggies took the
lead in the second as Sandy Bate
singled to left field. Fred Russ
singled to right field to advance
Bate a base and Mike Schraeder
drove him in with another line
drive to right.
Miller led off the third inning
with a double to left field and was
then joined on the bases as John
Woods walked. Bratsen walked to
load the bases and Bate drove in
miller with sacrifice to deep
center field. Schraeder drove in
Woods with a single to center and
the Aggies took a 3-0 lead.
Bill Raymer started the fourth
inning with a double to right field
and was driven in by Miller’s sin
gle to left. Jim Hacker hit the
third home run of the day to in
crease A&M’s advantage to six
points.
St. Mary’s came back in the top
of the fifth with two runs off of
sophomore Clint Thomas but the
Aggies exploded in the bottom
half of the inning to put the game
out of reach.
Schraeder began with a double
to center field and was advanced
home courtesy of a couple of wild
pitches. Fred Russ drew a walk
and scored on a double by Raymer.
Raymer, in turn, scored on a dou
ble by Tommy Hawthorne. Miller
drew a walk and both he and Ray-
over fern cagers
TAMU’s girls basketball team
thought they were seeing double
Tuesday night and dropped a 41-
33 decision to Prairie View A&M
before they regained their vision.
Identical twins, Creola and Ce-
ola Tamplin, combined for 25
points to lead Prairie View to the
win. Creola, who scored 30 points
in the Houston tournament, scor
ed 13 of those points to lead all
scorers.
Dana Callaway connected on
five field goals to lead Aggie
scorers with 10 points before
fouling out. Cissy Auclair hit
three field goals and three free
throws to total nine points while
Ruth Whitely netted four goals
to tally eight points.
“All the girls played well,” re
marked coach Kay Don, “we just
weren’t hitting well. Dana (Calla
way) has improved,” continued
Don. The coach commented that
the lack of Auclair’s scoring as
compared to recent games was
that, “Cissy was pretty well
guarded all the time, sometimes
they had three people covering
her.”
The team (1-5) travels to Den
ton this weekend for tournament
action at North Texas State. The
girls will play SMU in the first
round at 12:30 p.m. Friday.
