It was explained that Matth ews was hurt in a pepper game; Teammates later said there was a “scuffle’ on the field during batting practice. “ They were only fooling around but I saw trouble might come out of it, said outfielder Von Joshua. Manager Wes Westrum said the Giants probably would try to trade for another outfielder. Matthews, the team’s cleanup hitter, will he out at least six weeks. The scoring is as follows; 1st place (10 points), 2nd place (8 points), 3rd place (6 points) and 4th place (4 points). A&M scored in softball, placing second to TWU.

Rol- lie White Coliseum in the near fu ture. The award is silver and walnut and stands 3% feet high with a figurine of Mildred “Babe Didrick- son Zaharias at the top. “I think it’s a great honor for the women of Texas A&M University to receive this award, Don said. This all-sports trophy was named in honor of the “Babe and was do nated by the Rotary Club of Beaum ont. Zaharias was the first Texas woman to go to the Olympics. She was outstanding in golf, track and swimming. She played semi-pro basketball and a couple of innings with the New York Yankees. The trophy, in its second year of existence, was held by Stephen F. Austin last year. A&M tied with SMU for ninth place in 1974 in the all-sports scoring. From ninth to first this year is quite an accomp lishment. “The girls have done a lot of hard work and they represented Texas A&M very well,” Don said. Maybe next year A&M can place first without a tie. “I expect to see even more improvement next year. We have some good athletes return ing and some good ones coming in,” Don added. “I would like to see A&M place in all sports at a state level next year,” she concluded. Other top finishers were: SEA (2nd), Lamar (3rd), and UH (4th).
