Last series of season
Ags meet Horns, vie for playoffs
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
It’s the Texas Aggies versus the
Texas Longhorns. Enough said.
The two schools get together to
morrow and Saturday in the final
regular season action for both
schools. The Horns enter the game
as this year’s Southwest Conference
champions and the Aggies enter
with second place already under
their belt and hoping for a playoff

spot.
Entering the series with a 30-6
record the Ags are trying to get one
of the 15 available playoff spots that
are up for grabs by second place
teams and independent schools.
“Everybody is looking forward to
playing Texas, we always do,” said
Aggie assistant coach Jim Sampson.
“Texas has a real good team, they’re
real solid.”
Sampson said that there was no
chance of a letdown against the
Longhorns since they have already
won the SWC. “No chance, we are
still going for the playoffs and I
don’t think Texas will be too re
laxed either because they are gun
ning for a perfect season.”
“For the past two weeks we’ve
had real good relaxed practices,”
said Sampson. “I’d rather go into
the series relaxed than all keyed
up. ”
Sampson said that the Horns of
this season are different from those
in the past. “They’ve changed their
hitting a little because of their new
ballpark. Keith Moreland hit eight
balls to right field in the TCU series
last weekend, he didn’t hit that
many to right field all last year.”
“Of course their pitching is real
strong with Gideon, Wortham, and
Flores. Their infield is strong and
they are strong in the outfield ex
cept maybe in left field but that
really isn’t a problem because
they’ve got such a good centerfield-
er,” Sampson said.
Both teams are hitting well over
.300 and if recent history is any
indication, the games will be hard-
fought and well-played.
In the 17 years that Tom Chan
dler has been at A&M his teams
have posted a 20-25 record against
the Horns. In College Station the
teams are even at 12-12.
The only change for the Aggies
will be at the designated hitter spot
where Don James will start. James
started in that slot for the Ags in the
third game of the Rice series last
weekend and had two key hits.
Six Aggies will be playing their
final regular season games — catch
er Tommy Hawthorne, first base-
man Jim Bratsen, second baseman
Mike Schraeder, shortstop Fred
Russ, left fielder Al Thurmond and
center fielder Mike Frazier.
This senior class has produced
108 wins in their career and needs
one more win to tie the A&M
record of 109 career wins by the
1974 seniors.
The Aggies can set a school
record for victories in a season by
winning two of three games from
Texas. The previous best is 31 wins
by the 1971 and 1974 teams. Jim
Bratsen has already set school car
eer records for homeruns (18) and
runs batted in (99). Mike Frazier
has tied the season stolen base rec
ord of 15.
The pitching matchups features
TU’s seniors against A&M’s juniors.
Jim Gideon (11-0) will pitch the first
game on Friday with Richard
tham (10-0) and Martin Flores (8-1
going Saturday for the Homs.Hi
Aggies will counter with Clii:
Thomas (7-2) on Friday, with Jan*
Gibson (9-1) and David Lockett|

starters are juniors.

CHICAGO (AP) — Cubs cen-
terfielder Rick Monday is off to
his greatest start but he doesn’t
visualize himself as new team
leader.
When the Cubs completed
their first road trip this season,
the 29-year-old Monday found
himself batting .417 with 11 runs
batted in after playing only 10
games. What’s more, he was the
Cubs’ clean-up hitter.
“I think I might be maturing as
a hitter,” said Monday. “I’m sw
inging the bat better than I have
in my whole life.
T guess it’s a combination of
learning the pitchers and also hit
ting the lefthanders,” said Mon
day who said he was “tickled and
happy as hell when traded from
the Oakland A s to the Cubs for
pitcher Ken Holtzman in 1972.
“I never liked the idea of being
platooned or sitting on the
bench,” said Monday. “But Dick
Williams was the manager at Oak
land and that’s what he thought
was best. ”
Monday, a superb defensive
centerfielder the Cubs had been
seeking for years, has gradually
developed as a complete hitter
since given the opportunity to go
both ways.
He hatted .249 with 22 home
runs in 1972, .267 with 24 home
runs in 1973 and .294 with 19
home runs last year.
“I’ve never knocked in 100
runs,” said Monday, “but you
don’t get the chance when you
are leading off like I did last year.
We’ll have to wait and see howl
do batting fourth.
