Aggie holiday baseball trip successful
Perfect 6-0 record gives A&M SWC lead
By KEVIN COFFEY
Sports Editor
Six hours of torrential rain
cast an unclimatic ending to the
Texas Aggies’ holiday baseball
trip. A&M covered three cities
and almost 1,400 miles and when
the fumes of the Greyhound bus
cleared, the Aggies found them
selves with a 18-4 record and in
first place in Southwest Confer
ence play.
The rain wiped out a scheduled
double header with Pan Ameri
can Saturday. The Citrus baseball
title and a lot of pride were at
stake as the Broncs are toting
a 22 game win streak. The wash
out gave the holiday title to Pan
Am with a 6-0 record.
A&M finished the tourney with
a 3-1 mark after splitting a dou
bleheader with Missouri and
sweeping Kansas. A&M also split
with St. Mary’s in San Antonio
and swept three games from
SMU for a 6-0 league mark.
Coach Tom Chandler termed
the trip “successful” and express
ed disappointment in not getting
to face Pan Am.
“If the national rankings came
out tomorrow I feel that both
A&M and Pan Am would be rat
ed quite high,” said Chandler.
“They expected 5,000 fans and it
would have been a real experience
for the boys.”
The Ags kept pounding the ball
and finished the trip with a .360
team batting average. Fred Russ
led all hitters with 16 hits in 28
6 mile!

trip plate appearances. The JC
transfer tallied eight RBI, second
only to Jim Bratsen’s 11.
Jackie Binks racked up two
wins to pace the pitching staff.
He downed SMU on a five hitter
and Missouri one week later
while running his record to 5-0
on the year.
Clint Thomas also stopped the
Mustangs on five hits as A&M
pounded the Ponies 20-0. Thom
as’ shutout performance dropped
his earned run average to a team
leading 1.42.
Perry Arthur picked up his
second win of the season with a
10-5 win over SMU. Arthur has
a 2.66 ERA.
David Lockett, a freshman
from La Grange, picked up his
first win as an Aggie 8-2 win
over St. Mary’s. The Rattlers
handed JC transfer Don Bravenec
his first loss in the first game
of the doubleheader.
Aggie hurlers put together a
string of nine complete games
over the holidays. Chandler, not
wanting to break his conference
rotation of Binks, Thomas and
Arthur, threw his relievers and
younger pitchers at the beginning
of Edinburg’s Citrus tournament.
Missouri nipped the Ags and
Jim Wallace 5-4 after A&M
handed the Tigers a 7-1 lashing.
Scheumack allowed just two
hits in hurling the Aggies to their
first tourney win. He suffered
strings of wildness as the lanky
frosh walked eight batters but
three A&M double plays kept all
Missouri rallies from flourishing.
Russ’ 2 of 2 and three RBI
paced the Aggie offensive at
tack.
A1 Thurmond wielded the big
A&M bat in the second game.
His first inning home run gave
A&M a 2-0 lead but the Tigers
picked up three runs in the bot
tom of the third to spell Wallace’s
defeat. Wallace, A&M’s No. 2
relief pitcher, almost doubled his
total innings for the year with
5% in taking his first loss of the
season.
The Ags, perked up by the im
pending contest with Pan Amer
ican and some needling from the
Kansas players the night before,
blasted the Jayhawks 7-2 and 8-2.
Binks gave up a season’s high
of nine hits to the Jayhawks b\it
the Ags pounded out 12. John
Woods, who battled a mild slump
the entire trip, seemed to break
loose with three hits in four ap
pearances.
Juhl, the only hurler to make
two starts on the trip, collected
the win in the second game. He
held the Birds to six hits and
his teammates collected another
dozen.
Russ continued his hitting
streak with a 2 for 3 day, in
cluding a home run.
Overall the Aggies registered
102 hits in 283 appearances. “We
hit the ball real well but we were
a little disappointed with some
SWC standings
Conference AH Games
of the pitching,” said Chandler.
“We did get to use the warm
weather to get into better shape.
I hope we just keep improving and
swing the bat good.
Russ’ .571 average for the trip
led all hitters, followed by Thur
mond with .421 and Paul Miller at
.416. Miller took the team home
run lead, his third round tripper
of the year. Thurmond hit the
first and second four baggers of
the year.
The Aggies return to confer
ence action Friday and Saturday
against Arkansas on Kyle Field.
Chandler said his league lead
ing Aggies “will have to roll up
our sleeves and work hard. We
can’t just sit on our lead.”

A VW goes o long way in relieving gas problems — by
getting terrific gas mileage
It also relieves those little headaches —by needing pints of oil
instead of quarts. And not needing antifreeze because of its
air-cooled engine.
Plus it gets nd of nervous upsets due to owning a new car.
With Volkswagen's Owner's Security Blanket, you're provided with
the best care any car can have...in sickness and in health.
The fact is that Volkswagen can cure lots of problems that most
cars can't.
Maybe you should take two.

Our Officer Selection Officers are looking for a few good college men—
maybe 3 out of 100—who will make good Marine officers. If you’re one of
them, we’ll give you a chance to prove it during summer training at Quan-
tico, Virginia.
Our program is Platoon Leaders Class, PLC. With ground, air and law
options. You might even qualify for up to $2,700 to help you through college.
But if money is all you’re looking for, don’t waste your time.
The challenge is leadership, if you want it, work for it. If you’ve got it,
show us. It’s one hell of a challenge. But we’re looking for one hell of a man.
