Although he is one of the most
consistent and versatile athletes on
the A&M track squad, Shifton Baker
is still not satisfied with his perfor
mances this year.
The 6-0 freshman from Elgin qual
ified for the NCAA meet in Austin
Thursday night as he turned in a
13.99 time in the 120-yard high hur
dles. His performance was good
enough for third behind A&M’s
Scottie Jones and Nate Robinson of
Texas.
“At the first of the season I thought
I would run a 13.8 or 13.7,” said
Baker. “I still think I can make it but
I really haven’t had a good day this
year.”
“I’m not that fast so I depend more
on form and timing,” he said. “Scot
tie has helped me a lot this year and
now I’m at a point where I’ve got
pretty good form and I’m getting bet
ter all the time. I know I’m a lot
better than I was at the first of the
year.”
At the first of the year, as he was
embarking on his college career,
Baker had quite an impressive list of
credentials built on his high school
performances the year before. A
prep all-American at Elgin High,
Baker had a 13.8 in the high hurdles,
37.4 in the intermediates, a high
jump of 6-6, a long jump of 22-11 and
was the anchor leg on Elgin’s tough
mile relay team.
“While I’m here at A&M, I plan to
restrict myself to the hurdles,” he
said, “but I’ll remain ready to run a
mile relay leg any time I’m asked.”
Thursday night, running on the
mile relay team for only the second
time this year. Baker was part of a
foursome that turned in A&M’s fas
test time this year with a 3:11.3. The
time qualified A&M for the NCAA
meet in the mile relay, marking the
second in one meet Baker was a least
nationals.
“We knew Shifton was a class ath
lete when we recruited him,” said
assistant track coach Ted Nelson,
“and he’s running pretty much the
way we expected.”
With all his successes. Baker is
still disappointed with his perfor
mances in the 440-yard hurdles this
year, possessing a best time of 53.0.
“My intermediate hurdles times
don’t indicate what I’m capable of
doing,” said Baker. “I thought I
could run under 51 seconds at the
first of the year and I still think I can

Jim Hacker of A&M won the 1974
Southwest Conference batting
championship-with help from his
glove.
Official figures released Saturday
showed SWC teams set ten records
in the 25 seasonal categories, set six
and tied two more in 22 individual
categories. The most impressive
ones were A&M’s .340 team batting
‘average and the 11-0 record posted
by Texas pitcher Jim Gideon, who
beat every SWC foe at least once and
Houston, Arkansas and SMU twice
each.
Hacker hit .477, fourth highest
winning percentage in Southwest
Conference history, to beat out a late
charge by Steve Reeves of Houston
(.426) and win a season-long battle
with Rick Bradley of Texas (.424).
Hacker got two hits in four trips in
his final game last Saturday, but his
work afield was almost as important
as the 36-ounce bat he was swinging.
Bradley, who had hit safely in 16
straight SWC games entering
Saturday’s finale against A&M, en
tered that game with 36 hits in 81
bats compared to Hacker’s 40 for 84.
So it was still anybody’s batting
championship—Texas had won the

Manor East Mall — Bryan
league title in Saturday’s first-game
victory over the Aggies—when Brad
ley came to bat in the first inning. He
sent a wicked liner down the third-
base line and apparently into left
field for a double. But Hacker lunged
for the ball at the last second, trap
ped it and nailed. Bradley at first by
possibly a millimeter. Bradley went
out three more times in the game as
Hacker became the first Aggie to win
the SWC batting title since Joe Sta
ples in 1968.
Meanwhile, Reeves was charging
into the picture against Arkansas.
The Cougar first baseman went
7-for-ll in the series to raise his av
erage 54 percentage points and edge
Bradley for second place.
TCU’s Tommy Crain tied the
homer record with ten as the confer
ence expanded its schedule to 24
games with all nine members com
peting for the first time.
Crain lost a torrid duel with Brad
ley for the slugging championship.
Both had 71 total bases, Bradley in
85 at-bats and Crain in 86. Bradley’s
slugging average was .835 and
Crain’s .826.
Although Gideon shattered the
old victory record of nine shared by
Texas pitchers Bobby Layne in 1946
and Luther Scarborough in 1952,
this was a hitters’ season. The nine
SWC teams hit an aggregate .268,
with Texas crowding A&M’s record
setting .340 average with a .320
mark.
Four Aggies Hacker, Mike
Schraeder, Paul Miller and Tommy
Hawthorne, finished among the top
ten hitters. Last year’s champion,
Keith Moreland of Texas, fell from
his freshman mark of .405 to
eleventh at .374, while ’73 runner-
up David Vinson of Houston finished
39th at .286.
