Ags collect 42 hits in sweeping SMU
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie baseball team
entered last weekend’s series with
SMU needing a sweep of their three
game set. That is exactly what it got.'
Behind a 42 hit, 28 run attack the
Aggies upped their season record to
10-2, with a Southwest Conference
mark of 4-2.
The Aggies began the weekend
with a 6-2 win over the Ponies. A
pleasant surprise for the Aggies was
the pitching performance of Hous
ton Sophomore Jeff Scheumack who
came in the game in relief of David
Lockett with the bases loaded and
only one out. He got the next two
batters on a popup and a force out to
get out of the inning and then went
on to give the Mustangs only five
hits in seven innings for his first vic
tory of the year.
The Aggies swept Saturday’s
double header by scores of 6-2, and
16-8.
Al Thurmond was the big stick
man for the Aggies as he had seven
hits in eight trips to the plate.
The Aggies won the first game as
James “Hoot” Gibson won his sec
ond game against no losses.
The Aggies went ahead to stay in
the fifth inning when Jim Bratsen
and Mike Schraeder got on with
back to back singles. With two outs
Thurmond drove in the first run
with a sharp single to left. Rick
Crabtree followed with a two run
single to give the Aggies a 4-2 lead.
They added two insurance runs in
the sixth when Bratsen drove in
Mike Frazier and Tommy Hawth-
JLi
orne to give the Aggies their 6-2 first
game win.
The second game was all for grins
as the Aggies bombed the SMU
pitching staff for 21 hits and 16 runs
on their way to a 16-8 route. David
Lockett was the winning pitcher for
the Aggies to stretch his season re
cord to 3-0. Al Thurmond was once
again the big gun for the Aggies as
he went four for four.
The Aggies added two more wins
to their season record with a double

header sweep over Kansas yester
day at Kyle Field. The Aggies won
by scores of 2-1 and 3-2.
The first game saw pitchers for
both teams work in hot water as only
three runs were scored but 22 run
ners were left on base. A&M left 10
runners on while the Kansas nine
left 12 stranded.
The game was tied at the end of
regulation play 1-1. Kirk Campbell

in the bottom of the first extra
stanza, bombed a Kansas pitch out
of the park for a 2-1 Aggie win.
Campbell was also the Aggie win
ning pitcher as he went all the way
giving the Jayhawks ten hits.
Kansas led the second game 2-0
when Bill Raymer stepped up to the
plate for the Aggies with the bases
loaded. He calmly popped a Rob
Allinder pitch in the alley for a bases
clearing triple. The three runs were
all the Aggies needed to get their
12th win of the season.
Clint Thomas broke out of a per
sonal two game slump winning his
second game of the season against
one loss.
A&M and Kansas will play a
single game today at Kyle Field at
3:00. It will he the final home for the
Aggies for awhile as they will be
leaving for New Orleans to play four
days of double headers and then to

Swimmers set records
despite 6th place finish
By MARY RUSSO
Staff Sports Writer
Lacking in depth, but willing to
split their guts for the team, the
swimmers proved to be an unex
pected force at the Southwest Con
ference meet last weekend.
Point stealing from one school
and giving a break to the under-dog,
the swim team promoted Tech into
fourth place and managed sixth.
“You can bet we won’t be taking
sixth next year,’ said Coach Dennis
Fosdick.
These teams will travel to Cincin
nati to compete in the AAU nation
als.
Others breaking school records
were Steve Moore with a 1:58.76 in
the 200 individual medley and the
400 yd. medley relay team, Don
Reeser, Leland, Vanderhurst, and
Schueckler, with a 3:33.1.

Bobby Leland, a freshman recruit
, from A&M Consolidated, put him

with his performance. He set new
personal and school records by
swimming a 1:00:11 in the 100 yard
breast and a 2:12.42 in the 200 yard
breast.
“The team was exhausted, ” Fos
dick said. “They all swam the best
times of their lives and you can’t ask
more than that from a guy. By the
time it got to the relays, some of the
guys were swimming their twelth
and thirteenth event of the meet. ”
“The team was complimented for
the show of spirit and determination
by the other SWC coaches,” said
Fosdick. “Next year we ll have more
than that to show.”

“We ll take Bobby to NCAA and
AAU nationals this year. He’s a year
away from being a point getter, but
hopefully this will get the newness’
of national competition out of the
way,” Fosdick said.
Mike Vanderhurst, junior, made
his mark in the 100 yard fly by
swimming a 52.36. Although not a
national qualifying time, Fosdick
expects Vanderhurst to hit the mark
at a meet to be held March 23 in
Austin. This time brought a third to
Vanderhurst for conference com
petition.
Both free relay teams made na
tionals times. Swimming the 400
were Larry Schueckler, Leland,
Greg Meek, and Bill Cunningham.
Several “awfully good” recruits
are talking to Fosdick. He says these
will fill out the long and middle dis
tance free slots and help in the fly
department. “There are a couple
backstrokers who are turning in
55-second times and one with a 54
without taper,’’ Fosdick said.
With the added depth of recruits
and returns from the ineligible lists,
the Ags should have the depth to
“take all those other point-getting
places next year,” Fosdick said.
