Gene Bartow replaces Wooden
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gene
Bartow of Illinois was named Wed
nesday as basketball coach at
UCLA, replacing legendary John
Wooden who retired after guiding
the school to its 10th national col
legiate title. UCLA athletic Direc
tor J.D. Morgan announced
Bartow’s appointment.
Bartow, 44, known as a conserva
tive coach, has been at Illinois just
one year after four successful sea
sons at Memphis State. His 1972-73
team at the Tennessee school went
to the NCAA finals, losing to UCLA
87-66.
Bartow, a native of Browning,
Mo., was a strong choice to replace
Wooden almost from the time the
64-year-old UCLA coach said last
Saturday he was stepping down.
UCLA had just beaten Louisville
75-74 in overtime in the NCAA
tournament semifinal game at San
Diego.
The Bruins came back Monday
night to whip Kentucky 92-85 in the
finals for their 10th national champ
ionship in 12 years.
Bartow also coached at Valparaiso
University in Indiana and holds a
14-year college coaching record of
229-140. At Illinois he was 8-18 this
past season.
Bartow had four years left on his
Illinois contract but received per
mission from Athletic Director
Cecil Coleman there to talk with
UCLA.
The new coach inherits a strong
group of lettermen from the current
championship Pacific-8 Conference
club. Returnees include Richard
Washington, the Most Valuable
Player in the just-concluded NCAA
tournament; Marques Johnson,
Ralph Drollinger and Andre
McCarter, plus reserves Raymond
Townsend, Jim Spillance, Gavin
Smith, Wilbert Olinde, Casey Cor-
less and Marvin Thomas.
Washington, Johnson and
McCarter all were starters and
Drollinger the No. 1 substitute who
played a major role in the two tour
nament victories at San Diego.
At Memphis State, he won two
Missouri Valley Conference champ
ionships, finished in the nation’s
Top Ten twice and made two trips to
the National Invitation Tourna
ment. He was voted Coach of the
Year when his 1972-73 team
reached the national NCAA finals.
within striking distance of the unde
feated orange men from the capital
city.
Coming off one of the most im
pressive sweeps in the schools re
cent history (a three game job over
TCU) the Aggies will host the
Cougars in a Friday single game and
a Saturday doubleheader.
Aggie assistant coach Jim Samp
son stressed the importance of the
Houston series, “It’s real important
that we win these games. We need
to win all of our home games and if
we can sweep Houston this
weekend we ll be in good shape. ’’
Ag netters
to face BU
in tourney
By NICK VOINIS
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie tennis team
travels to Waco today to play the
Baylor Bears in a Southwest Con
ference match.
The match will consist of six sing
les and three doubles matches.
Coach Richard Barker has
selected Bill Wright, Billy Hoover,
Charles Emley, Tom Courson,
Mark Silberman and John Kirwan to
play against Baylor.
After the match, the netters move
on to Austin to compete in the four-
team Texas Relays Tournament at
Austin, Friday and Saturday.
Freshmen Mark Parker and
Edwin Teran have been added to
play in this tournament. Parker will
play the No. 5 singles while Teran
will play the No. 6 singles.
The Texas Relays Tournament is
actually nine tournaments in one.
There will be a tournament among
the four No. 1 players, No. 2 and so
on, for all six singles and the same
for the three doubles teams.
The pairing for opening round
play will be as follows:
Singles
No. 1 — A&M vs. Texas; Rice vs. Trinity (the two
losers play Saturday for the consolation title and
the two winners meet for the championship).
No. 2 — A&M vs. Trinity; Texas vs. Rice.
No. 3 — A&M vs. Rice; Texas vs. Trinity
No. 4 — A&M vs. Texas; Rice vs. Trinity
No. 5 — A&M vs. Trinity; Texas vs. Rice
No. 6 — A&M vs. Rice; Texas vs. Trinity
Doubles
No. 1 — A&M vs. Texas; Rice vs. Trinity
No. 2 — A&M vs. Trinity; Rice vs. Texas
No. 3 — A&M vs. Rice; Texas vs. Trinity.
A first-round victory will he worth 2 points; a win
in the consolation finals will be worth 1 point and the
championship winner will get 3 points.
Texas is undefeated in conference
play with a 15-0 record. The Aggies
are in second place three games
back of the Homs with a 9-3 record.
The Longhorns are in Waco to play
the Baylor Bears this weekend. The
Aggies are hoping for a little help
from the Bears who earlier this year
got the Ags off to a slow start by
taking two of three games in their
conference opening series.
Sampson was also pleased with
the Aggie pitching that has turned
in six straight complete games in
SWC play. “It’s been a long time
since an A&M pitching staff has had
six straight complete games in the
conference,” Sampson said.
The Aggie pitching staff earned
run average is an excellent 2.19 for
the season and 2.23 in league play.
Clint Thomas will start the Friday
game for A&M. Thomas three-hit
TCU in his last outing last Tuesday
in Fort Worth. Hoot Gibson will
pitch in Saturday’s seven inning
contest with David Lockett going
for the Ags in the nine inning night
cap.
The batting order for the Aggies
will have Mike Frazier in center-
field, Tommy Hawthorne at
catcher, Bill Raymer in right field,
Jim “Bear” Bratsen at first base,
Mike Schraeder at second base,
Kirk Campbell at third base, Al
Thurmond in left field, Robert Bon
ner in the designated hitter spot and
Fred Russ at shortstop.
Friday’s single game will start at
3:00 with the Saturday doub
leheader beginning at 1:00.
