UT wins SWC in Clark Field finale
’Horns win 49th title in 59 years; Aggies 2nd
By KEVIN COFFEY

(k AUSTIN—For one bright shin-
| ing moment it appeared that the
|Bexas Aggies could sweep the
powerful Texas Longhorns and
in the Southwest Conference
seball title. 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. Juhl
pitched almost spotless relief ball

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.
Rick Bradley, battling Hacker
for the batting crown, homered

in two runs to give Gideon all
the support he needed.
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.
