open second half play Friday)
Baseballers visit Houston with three game lead
Southwest Conference baseball
leader Texas A&M faces a rough
road in the second half of the
league pennant race starting Fri
day at the University of Houston.
The Aggies will meet the hard
hitting Cougars in a 3 p.m. sin
gle game Friday and a 1 p.m.
doubleheader Saturday.
This will be the first action for
the Aggies since the loss of sec
ond baseman Mike Schraeder.
Schraeder was injured in prac
tice early in the week and is out
of action for the rest of the
season, (see Kevin's Korner P. 9.)
Coach Tom Chandler’s crew
capped a perfect first half (12-0)
by breaking a longtime jinx and
sweeping a series from TCU in
Kyle Field. The Aggies are now
25-5 for the season.
The TCU series had everything
anyone could ask. Aggie ace
Jackie Sinks won his seventh
game without a loss by beating
the Frogs 4-1 with a five-hitter
Friday. Paul Miller’s triple and
John Woods’ single in the seventh
inning gave A&M a win in an
exciting 5-4 decision in the first
game Saturday. Then both teams
unlimbered the bats in a 16-8
Aggie win in the third game
which featured 17 hits by A&M
and 14 by TCU.
The Aggies continue to com
pile some impressive statistics 30
games into the season. The team
batting average is .344 for the
season and .351 in league play.
Twelve Aggies are above the .300
level including all nine starters.
Six different players have scored
at least 20 runs, eight players
have at least 20 hits and 11 play
ers have at least 14 runs batted
in.
Miller has tied a school record
with 36 runs while Schraeder set
a school record with 33 runs bat
ted in. Miller and Schraeder have
tied a record with 11 doubles
each. The team has 57 doubles,
11 triples and 17 homeruns in
30 games. A&M is averaging 8.2
runs and 10.4 hits per game. The
Aggies have struckout only 75
times in 1109 plate appearances
while walking 159 times.
The pitching has been just as
impressive with a team earned
run average of 2.72.
The Aggie batting order
against Houston will be Miller, If
(.394, .422 SWC); John Woods,
cf (.319, .349); Jim Hacker, 3b

A1 Thurmond, dh (.377, .250);

Possible Rice infractions
before SWC spring meeting
HOUSTON <A>)_A once-delay
ed decision on allegations that
Rice University illegally distri
buted tickets to players during
the 1971 football season may be
acted on this week at the South
west Conference spring meetings.
SWC faculty representatives,
athletics directors and business
managers will meet at the Hous
ton Oaks Thursday through Sat
urday to discuss rules infractions,
the energy crisis, split basketball
seasons and many other topics.
A final decision on Rice is ex
pected to be one of the prime
topics of the three-day meet but
Rice Athletic Director A. M.
“Red” Bale said he didn’t anti
cipate Rice being found guilty of
any infractions.
Bale said the only reason a
final decision was not made at
the SWC winter meeting in Dal
las was because one of the per-

ships with several top perform
ances.
Jeff Carter took second in “B”
singles while Charles Bokelman
placed fourth.
Tommy Patrick took second in
“A” competition just ahead of
teammate Bill Altman’s fourth
place finish.
Patrick and Altman teamed to
take first in open doubles play
and Jeff Bronson and Marion
Cresset teamed to take fourth.
In the National Intercollegiate
tourney early this month, the
doubles team of Bokelman and
Cresset took second in the con
solation division.
There’s no easy way for Charlie Nelson to become Dr. Nelson.
But there is a way to make it somewhat easier.
Our way. The Armed Forces Health Professions
Scholarship Program. It won't soften the demands
of your professors, or those you make upon yourself
—but it may free you from those financial problems
which, understandably, can put a crimp in your
concentration.
If you qualify, our scholarship program will cover
the costs of your medical education. More, you'll
receive a good monthly allowance all through your
schooling.
But what happens after you graduate?
Then, as a health care officer in the military
branch of your choice you enter a professional
environment that is challenging, stimulating and
satisfying.
An environment which keeps you in contact with
practically all medical specialties. Which gives you
the time to observe and learn before you decide on
your specialty. Which may present the opportunity
to train in that specialty. And to practice it.
You may also find some of the most advanced
medical achievements happening right where you
work. Like at the Brooke Army Medical Center in
San Antonio, Texas, long noted for its Burn Treat
ment Center. Or the home of Flight Medicine, the
famed Aerospace Medical Division, also in San
Antonio. Or the National Naval Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland, recognized worldwide for its
work in Medical Research.
And if you’ve read this far, you may be interested
in the details. Just send in the coupon and we’ll
supply them.

“The SWC’s investigating com

“But one of the people they talk

he would welcome the opportunity
to take a polygraph test and they
