THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1975
When it rains, it pours
■ TBaltspbrts
By DAVID WALKER
I made the same mistake the Ag
gie baseball team made last week,
I went to Edinburg.
Boy, when things go bad, they
really go bad.
We were traveling in two vans
and two ears. One van and the cars
made it without any trouble, one
van didn t. That should have told
us right then and there what the
weekend was going to be like.
Everything went OK until the
next night when we went to the
ball park to play the first two games.
In baseball talk there is two dif
ferent meanings
for the word:
homer. One is
the obvious
shorting of the
phrase, home
run. A home run
results when the
player hits the
ball (usually over ' . ^
the fence but not always) and scores
without an error on the play. The
other homer is the name given to
an umpire who usually calls it the
way he sees it as long as he sees it
the way the home team wants him
to see it.
You can bet your P. F. Flyers
that the umpires called it the way
they wanted and will probably be
nominated any day now for an
Academy Award.
Life in South Texas went from
bad to worse. (But not the umpires,
they stayed worse.)
Aggie second baseman Mike
Schraeder’s glove was stolen from
the hotel elevator as it was taking a
solo ride to the first floor. Some of
Mike’s teammates pitched his glove
in the elevator just as it was leaving

The Texas Aggie golf team will tee
it up Thursday as they began com
petition in the 50th annual South
west Conference medal-play
championship at the Lubbock
Country Club. All nine SWC
schools will compete in the 54-hole
tournament.
Coach Bob Ellis will field a six-
man squad consisting of Bobby
Baker, sophomore from Missouri
City, Monte Schauer, sophomore
from Victoria; Steve Whiteside,
sophomore from Midland; Clay
Dozier, senior from College Sta
tion; Larry Gorzycki, junior from
Bryan and Al Pryor, senior from
Lancaster.
Schauer will try to improve on his
third place finish in the individual
standings of last year’s tournament.
He finished behind Keith Fergus of
Houston (216) and Jim Mason of
Texas (218). Schauer shot 221.
Houston is favored to win the
team competition after winning in
1973 and tying with Texas in ’74.
Texas again will provide stiff com
petition for the Cougars with Mason
returning to duel with Fergus.
SMU also figures in the picture as
Mark Triggs has played very well
this spring.
If Houston’s Fergus can over
come Longhorn avisary Mason,
he 11 become the eighth golfer to
win back-to-back titles. Texas Ben
Crenshaw was the last golfer to
achieve this feat, winning in
1972-73. The only three-time win
ner is Ed White of Texas, winning
crowns from 1933 to ’35.
Ellis and his squad will drive to
Lubbock Wednesday. They 11 play a
practice round Thursday at the site
of the tournament. The 54-hole
tournament will be played Friday
and Saturday, 27 holes each day.
The four low scores will count to
ward the team standings.

the third floor knowing that some
more Aggies were waiting for it at
the first floor. What they didn’t
know was that there was a glove
thief on the second floor, and sure
enough there was. Bye-bye glove.
More bad hitting and umpiring
made the stay in the border town
(Tve got some Mexico stories but
I’m saving them for a book) worse
and worse but finally the last game
was over and we could come back
to good old College Station and
everything would be OK, right?
Wrong.
On the way back we stopped
to get a bite to eat and a coke for
the road. As we were driving away
from little drive-in grocery Coach
Chandler tried to open his coke only
to have the ring pop off the can
with out the tab. Friends, when
something as American as a coke
can turns on you, you’ve really got
it bad.
Now it’s getting late and we are
almost home. You know how your
foot tends to get a little heavy when
you get close to home and you
probably also know that as taxpay
ers we pay men to guard against
heavy footed people. Well one of
those men happen to be guarding
on the road we were on and I need
not explain the rest.
We finally got home alive (which
in itself was a shock) only to be met
by a member of the campus police
force who informed us that one of
the players cars had been broken
into while we were gone. I expected
lighting to strike me any minute.
It didn’t strike though and now
it’s time to leave again on another
baseball trip. The reason I feel so
good about the Aggies chances this
weekend is that after last weekend
things can’t get any worse.
