Chandler’s and Thomas’ feat came in the first game of Satur day’s doubleheader, a contest the Ags won 15-0 on way to a three game sweep of the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks. Thomas was within one out of the second no-hitter ever tossed by an Aggie hurler in SWC ac tion. He had to settle for the one- hitter as Wally Erwin singled to left with two outs in the last inning. Bobby Wittkamp pulled the trick against TCU last year. Athletic Director Emory Bel- lard gave the game ball to the players to present to Chandler to honor the milestone. Chandler has been coaching at A&M 16 years. Thomas’ fifth win of the year was never in doubt. The Ags util ized singles by Paul Miller, A1 Thurmond, Mike Frazier and Mike Schraeder to score five runs in the third inning. Two innings later the Ags took advantage of two Hog errors to add six more runs, all unearned. Thurmond picked up three hits in the rout as A&M pounded out 13 safeties. Thomas thrilled the Wind swept crowd of 1,200 as he struck out nine while walking six. Thomas, a sophomore from Ab ilene, was more than happy with his performance. “He hit a good pitch, there wasn’t much I could have done about it,” said the moustachioed right-hander. “No hitters don’t really mean all that much, just so we win our con ference games.” Thomas said the wind, which gusted to 30 miles per hour at times, helped him on the mound. “The wind was blowing the ball in all kinds of different direc tions,” said Thomas. “My fast ball was tailing away from the batters well and I was able to come up with the good pitch when I needed it.” Thomas was joined in fine pitching performances by Jackie Binks and Perry Arthur, each who picked up wins. Binks hurled a five-hitter as the Ags won the series opened Friday 5-2. Arthur hurled six innings of three-hit ball in the finale. He was relieved by David Lockette and Jim Juhl who retired the last nine Razorbacks in order. Binks and Hog pitcher Ger- ad Hannahs were locked in a pitcher’s duel for five innings. Tied at 2-2 in the seventh, A&M scored the go-ahead run on a freak play. Jim Hacker reached first on a rarely called catchers interference and Thurmond con tinued his clutch hitting with a timely double to plate Hacker. A&M added two more in the eighth on a Jim Bratsen home run, a walk to Frazier and a RBI by Miller. Saturday’s finale was another Tickets at Rudder Center Box Office (Everyone inust buy a ticket.)

(^—Da vid Thompson, carrying 15 stitch es in his head from an injury last week, led the North Carolina Wolfpack over Marquette 76-64 to capture the NCAA basketball championship last night. Whether soaring to score on his “alley-oop” shots or leaping high to intimidate Marquette’s shoot ers, Thompson was the nemesis of the Warriors and the darling of the Wolfpack-oriented crowd. North Carolina State’s dazzling All-American forward scored 21 points, many of them on his pat ented play of leaping over the basket, grabbing a teammate’s lob pass and dropping the ball in for two points. Each time Thompson made his eye-catching moves, it virtually brought the whole crowd to its feet. Tom Burleson, who played much of his career in the shad ow of UCLA’s Bill Walton, also was a tower of strength for the Wolfpack. Bui’leson—a menacing 7-foot-4 figure—clogged the area around the basket and constantly disciplined Marquette’s smaller team. cruiting irregularities involving the fabulous Thompson, North Carolina State cherished a crack at the national championship long held by UCLA. Burleson, a string bean center who made The Associated Press’ All-America third team, scored 14 points for the winners. Losing their only game in two years to the seemingly indestruc tible Bruins, North Carolina State came back to whip UCLA in Sat urday’s semifinals and came into Monday night’s finals charged sky high. The rousing victory before 15,742 fans at the Greensboro Coliseum climaxed an “impossible dream” season for the Wolfpack.
