The score of the first team game was 5-2 and the sec ond game was 2-1. In the game of first stringers the Aggies completely dominated the Bears.

He pushed the ball into the left side of the net going one on one with the Baylor goaltender. With three minutes left in the first half, Jim Davis arced in from right wing and spiked one into the left corner. In the second half with 10 mi nutes gone Davis moved in from right wing, faked a pass and pasted another hard shot into the near corner. The Baylor center-forward scored twice at 25 minutes and 43 minutes on identical shots. He took passes at 10 yards and fired into the left corner. A&M goalie Dan Byerly didn’t have a chance to stop either shot. A&M finished Ag scoring at the 42 minute mark when Schwartz took a pass in a crowd and slammed it into the corner. In the second team game Baylor scored early in the first half. Goalie Tony Gallucci deflected the shot but it dropped into the net. Gery DiMarco scored both goals for the Aggies to lead the offense. His first goal was a shot in heavy traffic. He ended the scoring with 10 minutes to go when he kicked from the ec^ge of the goal box for the clincher. A persistent Aggie defense kept the ball out of the A&M half in both games. The offense on the other hand kept the pressure on the Baylor goalie by peppering him throughout the game.

By MARY RUSSO Staff Sports Writer After living the same old Aggie fable for four weekends, the women softballers pulled it together as a team taking second in zone and sec uring a berth at state, in tournament play this weekend. The first game demonstrated that the women could really play it hard as they took Mary Hardin-Baylor, 11-1. It was Robin Oakley winding up for the fast pitch and delivering the tosses with accuracy. Robin is a sec ond year member of the team and was probably the team’s greatest talent last year. Football Standings Last year the Aggies, who are now 6-2 overall, finished third in the tournament.
