But like most dreams, the harshness of reality Jjroke the bubble as Texas won title for the 49th time. Friday the Aggie bats had an gverflow crowd at Clark Field Imazed. Proving that their Jeague-leading .346 batting aver- ■ge was no fluke, A&M pounded iiiUT pitchers for 15 hits good for lj‘ 11 runs while Jimmy T.

Main 822-6000 holding Texas to four tallies. Saturday it was the Longhorn pitchers that had the last say, snuffing out the Aggies 8-0 and 4-3. Texas only needed one win in the series to clinch the cham pionship. Cliff Gustafson thus coached UT to his seventh title in as many years. Jim Gideon gave the ’Horns that one win with a six hit per formance in Saturday’s opener. Gideon posted his 16th win with out a loss, the top record in the nation. In the series finale and the last SWC contest to be held in Clark Field, Richard Worthan downed Aggie sophomore David Lockett in a tight pitching duel. This ancient ball park, home of the Longhorns since 1928 was jammed to over-flow capacity. Some fans just came for the nos talgia that reeked throughout the field, some to see the only con ference series that decided the title in the last few years. Friday the Ags snapped a 53 game UT winning streak on Clark Field. The win spurred rumors among even the most die-hard Texas fans the Ags could win all three. Jim Hacker drove in five runs while collecting three hits to pro tect his league-leading hitting spot. The Aggie third sacker col lected a homer, double and single, each good for at least one Aggie tally. Bill Ramyer homered for two runs and Tom Hawthorne had three hits and two RBI’s to spark the Aggie offense. Juhl, picking up for Clint Thomas in the fourth, threw five and one-third innings of shutout ball while striking out six Long horns. Gideon was hit hard by the Ag gies but only six fell for hits in the deciding game of the series. No Aggie tallied two hits against the hard throwing lefty. Meanwhile, Aggie pitchers had their troubles as UT hitters pounded out 12 hits.

After the title was decided, there was almost a sigh of relief from the packed house. Fans from both sides, bordering upon obnoxious during the opener be came almost friendly. During between-game ceremon- nies, Aggie coach Tom Chandler was honored as the winningest SWC coach on Clark Field. His record here was 9-13. Lockett, impressive against Rice last week, was even more so Saturday but he absorbed the loss. The famous cliffs got in one blast at the Longhorns when a Hacker hit ball came to rest on the upper level of the plateau while the UT outfielders waited for the rebound below. Hacker scored on the hit, driving in John Woods. UT rallied to put runners on second and third with one out and Juhl relieved Lockett. Juhl’s first offering was well outside and giv ing the Homs the win on the wild pitch which scooted past Hawthorne. UT now advances to the Dis trict 6 playoffs for the 10th straight year. A&M ended up the season 31- 13, 17-7 in conference action. UT was 44-4, 20-4 in loop play. Hacker held on to claim the batting title, going 2 of 3 in the last game to Bradley’s 0 for 4.
