THE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK are the above-mentioned seniors
who will play their last game Saturday against Arkansas. Also worthy of
mention is senior manager Mark Alford, who will see his last duty
Saturday.
Good luck to the seniors and here’s hoping we can replace them
adequately.
The Battalion would like to thank Joe for contributing his game
socks to the Batt Hall of Fame.
SOURCES INDICATE that Texas World Speedway is up for sale
in racing circles. The $7.5 million track reportedly has an asking price
of $1.5 million.
General Manager Bill Marvel says he doesn’t expect the world
record speed on a closed course to fall soon unless he does it jogging.
Marvel indicated at a recent panel show that all racing events at the
track in ’74 are currently in limbo.
I would like to congratulate Jackie Binks for discovering where
the man currently batting stands before pitching to St. Mary’s. It seems
a couple of pitches got away from him against Louisiana Tech and
landed somewhere close to the on-deck circle.
KEN STADEL, Rice discus thrower, was on campus over the
weekend to get some tips on the shot put from A&M hall-of-famer
Randy Matson. Stadel, who had the nation’s second best toss last year,
broke Matson’s SWC discus record in the ’73 season.
ALLAMERICAN EARL EVANS continued to blitz the opposi
tion this week for Port Arthur Lincoln. He collected 41 points in
leading Lincoln to a resounding win over Wheatley, the reigning 4A
champ in a bi-district warmup game. Evans also shot the clutch goal to
ice his 40 point total in Lincolns 80-78 shave of Beaumont Charlton-
Pollard in the bi-district playoff. The 6-6 postman also positioned
himself for 25 rebounds against Pollard.
NUMBER ONE RANKED and undefeated Corsicana narrowly
surpassed Westchester on the scoreboard here at G. Rollie White
Monday night. The 33-0 Tigers will return here Saturday morning at
9:30 to play Marshall. Dallas South Oak Cliff plays Fort Worth Poly at
8:00. The winners will return to play the regional final at 4:00 p.m.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND HEAD FOOTBALL COACH
EMORY BELLARD announced Monday that all home games will be
played in the afternoon. The initial home game will be against Clemson
on September 14 at 4:00 p.m.
Sophomore linebacker Ed Simonini is heading for Houston to
receive the Houston Post award as Defensive Player of the Year. The
Houston A&M Club will honor Simonini and present the award at its
noon Monday meeting in the Rice Hotel.
THE NEW FRONTIERS IN GYMNASTICS AWARD goes to
editor’s assistant Greg Moses for attempting to ride upside down on a
ten-speed in a gravel parking lot at 1:00 in the morning. Moses received
for his efforts seven stitches in the lip and three in the nose for a grand
total of ten square knots.

A&M hosts Baylor (;,
Weekend series initiates
By TONY GALLUCCI
FIRST OF ALL, I would like to thank coach Shelby Metcalf and
assistants and the A&M Basketball team for a fine season, whether tops
in the league or not.
I am extremely disappointed in the crowd who did not show up
for the Baylor game and very appreciative of the crowd who showed
and tried to make up for those who didn’t bother. The team never
failed to disappoint the home crowd and lost but a single home game all
season; a well fought game with co-leader Texas.
The crowd who apparently had better things to do missed junior
John Thornton in his finest 40 minutes as an Aggie. You also missed
the final game for four seniors: Randy Knowles, who has permanently
etched his name in the A&M record book; C. W. Guthrie, who missed
most of last year but who returned to become “Mr. Hustle” and who,
according to editor Kevin Coffey is the first one out of the dressing
room after the game; Charlie Jenkins, without whom A&M would have
certainly gone down the drain when Mike Floyd was injured; and Joe
Arciniega, team co-captain with Knowles, leader of Arciniega’s Army,
team PR man and all-around nice guy who scored his season high here
Tuesday against Baylor.
Besides ignoring those who have kept you going on slow weeks,
you also missed the 30 mile an hour hat and the Diamond Darlings at
halftime.
Metcalf is very pleased with crowd support this season and wishes
to thank the student body. He was also most appreciative of the band,
who played at non-conference games for the first time this year and the
yell leaders for the first basketball pep rally to be held since 1969.
In the locker room after the Baylor game, Kevin Bean (sports
editor of The Aggieland) presented Joe Arciniega with his “Arciniega’s
Army” shirt which he has faithfully worn to all the home games (you
may have seen him in the wooden bleachers on the first row). Arciniega
said of Bean, “He stuck with me through thick and thin. He’s a lifelong
friend.”

Tom Chandler’s Texas Aggie
baseball team carries a perfect
6-0 record and a potent .402 bat
ting average into the opening of
Southwest Conference diamond
play Friday. The Ags face Baylor
in a 3 p.m. single game tomor
row and a 1 p.m. doubleheader
Saturday on Kyle Field.
Conference action has been
moved up two weeks due to Ar
kansas’ appearance in the race
this year. The Razorbacks have
not been participating in baseball
as an SWC sport.
A&M was prognosticated as a
great hitting team and they have
not let anybody down. Eight bat
ters have averages over the .400
mark and the Ags are scoring at
11 runs per game mark.
Last year the Aggies were con
sidered a solid team with the bat
but the 1974 edition is on the
verge of eclipsing several marks
in just six games.
Junior Jim Bratsen led the
club with 18 RBI’s in 28 games
in 1973. Mike Schraeder now has
14 and designated hitter Sandy
Bate 12. Also, the Ags hit nine
home runs last season and have
five to their credit already.
The Aggie starters and batting
averages for the first game are:
Mike Frazier, catcher, .250; Brat
sen, first base, .389; junior Mike
Schraeder, second, .435; senior
Jim Hacker, thirdbase, .500; jun
ior Fred Russ, short, .455; senior
Paul Miller leftfield, .450; senior
John Woods, center, .400 and
sophomore Bill Ramyer, right-
field, .375.
Pitching was to be a serious
weak spot for A&M but through
the first six encounters it has
been amazingly good. The staff
sports a 2.60 earned run average
(ERA) while opposition pitchers
have a 14.52 norm.
Jackie Binks, Perry Arthur and
Clint Thomas are slated for start
ing chores against the Bears.
Binks is 2-0 and has yet to give
up a run in 10 innings. He won
three games last year.
Arthurs battled the flu bug
during A&M’s first series and
has thrown but four innings. He
too has yet to let an enemy cross
the plate in posting a 1-0 record.
Thomas is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA
for 10 innings work. The sopho
more right-hander leads the staff
in strike outs with 12.
Jimmy Juhl, David Lockette
and Don Bravenec are ready for
any necessary relief work.
