1974-75 should be called the
“year that was” for Aggie sports.
Not in the terms that Texas A&M
had its greatest all-around year
ever and definitely not its worst.
But it should bear that name, be
cause the year’s achievements
seemed like a renaissance for the
entire scope of A&M athletic, inter
collegiate, club and intramural.
It was a year that the pride of all
Aggie sports par
tisans, football,
rose up as an
awesome an force
on the national
scene. Coach
Emory Bellard
got his troops to
gether and they *• v
displayed their ' ‘
talents posting a 8-3 record. Pat
Thomas became the first front line
All-American since Dave Elmen-
dorf. The solid A&M defense was
second only to perennial power
Notre Dame in this nation in total
defense.
It was a year that Shelby Met
calf got his 100th SWC victory en
route to a conference title in bas
ketball. In doing so the innovative
Aggies brought due respect to SWC
basketball with the aid of fine teams
like Arkansas and Texas Tech, who
also brought tons of excitement to
fans when they played. For SWC
basketball it was a year of transi
tion.
It was a year that A&M’s annually
competitive baseball team got a bid
to the NCAA playoffs after finishing
behind an excellent Longhorn team
in the conference race. The Ag
baseballers broke the all-time rec
ord for victories in one season with
32.
It was a year that women’s sports
excelled. Women’s Athletic Direc
tor Kay Don with the help of some
hard-working Aggie coeds ended up
co-winners of the Texas Association
for Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women All-sports trophy, after
only three years of existence. Play
ing in a tough league with schools
who have had female sports pro
grams much longer, Don and her
women got to the state level in six
of the eight sports sanctioned by the
TAIAW. A&M coeds also made it to
nationals in three different sports.
It was a year that the Aggie
water polo team did its usual thing
and proceeded to continue domi
nance in the Southwest. The Den
nis Fosdick coached team also
fared very well out on the west
coast where aquatic sports are king.
It was a year that the Texas A&M
bowling team topped the Texas
Intercollegiate Bowling Conference
with a record of 40-14. Hal Vor-
land averaged 187 to lead the Aggie
onslaught. This team was no doubt
one of the greatest bowling teams
in the school’s history. It was such
a pity that the Aggies had to host
the tournament at the Cougar
Lanes in Houston, because A&M
officials wanted to save a few dol
lars.
It was a year that intramurals be
came an important part of student
life. The intramural department
said the participation in the pro
grams was greater than ever before.
Most important of all the landslide
of campus athletes brought about
efforts to increase the deficient
budget.
It was a year that hardships also
showed in many areas. The usually
potent Aggie track team was hit
with a rash of leg injuries that ham
pered their overall performance
considerably. Texas robbed the
A&M football team of a champion
ship on three uncanny fumbles.
The game was history after 54 sec
onds of play. The Aggie swim team,
which ranks with the best in the
conference with the exception
of superior SMU, lost all their chief
performers through grade defieien-

ANAHEIM (AP) — Reid Ryan
graduated from nursery school
Monday and went pony riding. He
was accompanied by the pitcher
whom most people figure will be the
first ever to hurl five no-hitters in
major league baseball.
Nolan Ryan, only the second man
ever to throw four no-hitters, takes
his fatherly duties seriously. He and
wife Ruth were up early to accom
pany son Reid on his day of
achievement.
On Sunday, it was father Nolan
doing the achieving, beating Balti
more, 1-0, in a no-hitter to match
the feat of Sandy Koufax of the Los
Angeles Dodgers, who became the
first ever to pitch four no-hitters.
T know how he feels and want to
send him my congratulations, the
now-retired Koufax declared, ad
ding that the 28-year-old Ryan
might pitch 10 or 12 no-hitters be
fore joining him in retirement.
In American League history, only
Bob Feller had pitched three no
hitters before Ryan.
Earlier in the week, after the
California Angels lost to Cleveland,
9-2, Ryan had observed.
'Tve yet to put it all together this
season: I had my velocity the past
two games, but not control. Tve got
to concentrate on getting the fast
ball over the plate and low.
He did that against Baltimore,
but it was his curve and change-up
that befuddled the Oriole batters.
Ruth Ryan and Reid, known as
“Choo Choo,” were in the stands
when Nolan fired the no-hitter, but
the youngster doesn’t yet quite
know what baseball is all about. He
wants to be a bronc rider back in
Texas where the Ryans have their
permanent home.
“He knows when Daddy wins or

It was a year that Aggie athletes
gained the respect of many. No
longer will A&M be taunted by fel
low SWC schools.
Most important, it was a year to
build on. Again Bellard went out
and got a prize crop of athletes to
fill the ranks of missing seniors.
The basketball team will surely be
boosted by the play of newcomen
Carl Godine and Jarvis Williamsu
Houston Kashmere. The trackais
swim teams signed some qualitt
athletes to strengthen their pro
grams. In the near future AW
should have an extremely soil
athletic program. But in the met
ories of all, 1974-75 will always 1<
the year that wits the beginning.
loses, but that s about it, Mrs.
Ryan declared. "Reid doesn’t think
a no-hitter is anything special.
The pitcher wasn’t over-whelmed
with his achievement, saying, “The
biggest thing is that I wanted to be a
stopper.”
His Angels had lost five straight
and it took his record equalling per
formance to end it there.
Baltimore’s Ross Grimsley gave up
eight hits, but the only run of the
game came in the third inning on
consecutive singles by Mickey Riv
ers, Tommy Harper and Dave
Chalk.
"We haven’t been aggressive and
we needed something to pick us
up, said the quiet Ryan, who was
helped by a great play by second
baseman Jerry Remy.
“Tve never witnessed a no-hitter
before,” commented Remy. T just
hoped I could keep myself in posi
tion.
Remy was in the right spot when
pinch hitter Tommy Davis hit a high
hopper over the mound and behind
second base; the rookie infielder
grabbed and threw to first in time.
Obvippsly pleased with his patch
ing feat, Ryan nevertheless com
mented, "It’s something that won’t
change my thinking. I just don’t go
into games thinking no-hitter and I
don’t place that much emphasis on
the single accomplishment.’
Next outing for the Angels ace
will be Friday night when they face
Milwaukee and only Johnny Van-
derMeer of Cincinnati ever has
thrown back-to-back no-hitters.
“I feel like I pitched a no-hitter,
declared Elbe Rodriguez, who ac
tually caught the game and had just
come off the injured list a few hours
before he did it.
