UT is an impressive 42-3 on the year and have won their last 53 games on this somewhat historic field. Clark Field will come tumbling down after the series as Texas moves to an astroturf complex next year. Texas is hoping to go ut with a bang. Aggie coach Tom Chandler seems to be in the minority with his opinions of the cliff studded ball park. He likes it. “I’ve always looked forward to playing there,” said Chandler. “I feel it’s a challenge to our players. We’ve had some good moments there are some bad ones. It’s kinda sad it has to be torn down.” The bad moments included blowing the title in 1962. The good ones are rebounding to win the crown two years later. In 1966, the Ags won 2 of 3 to grab a share of the title. Texas has dominated baseball more than any other sport. The Horns are working for their eight straight top spot finish. “Texas has outstanding pitch ing and a well balanced hitting attack,” said Chandler. “They will be tough but we’ve had very spirited workouts this week.” Chandler is shaking up the A&M pitching rotation for the series. Clint Thomas will start the 3 p. m. single game Friday. If Jim Juhl’s relief talents are not needed Friday, the senior lefty will start Saturday’s 1 p. m. con test. Perry Arthur will throw if Juhl hurls Friday. David Lockett, impressive against Rice last weekend, will start the series finale. Juhl, who saw action in all three Rice games, is ready for either a starting or relief role. “I would love to start but our The lineup for the Aggies with .375); A1 Thurmond, cf (.365, bullpen hasn’t done the job this year so I feel I’m needed there,” Juhl said while soaking his arm in ice after the Rice series. “I just want to go where I’m needed.” Aggie third baseman Jim Hack er, is leading the conference with a .474 average. He already holds school records for season and ca reer walks, career runs scored and career doubles. The senior is just four short of the career RBI mark. Jim Bratsen, still riding a hot hitting streak that began midway through conference play, has bro ken the SWC season RBI mark with 30. However, Tommy Crain of TCU is in hot pursuit. The Horned Frogs face SMU this weekend. Aggie left fielder Paul Miller has broken the SWC record for runs scored with 29. season and SWC averages: Mil ler, If (.384, .392); Tommy Haw thorne, dh (.394, .333); Hacker, 3b (.397, .474); Bratsen, lb (.361, .285); Mike Frazier, c (.326, .327) ; Bill Raymer, rf (.327, .316); Fred Russ, ss (.342, .311); Sandy Bate, 2b (.300, .279). come to DIAMOND COUNTRY come to SANKEY PARK DIAMOND SALON 213 S.
