Aaron slaps homer,
Ryan admits mistake

“We re better at the front four
than we were last year.”
Defensive line coach Paul Regis
ter paid quite a compliment to the
Texas A&M defensive front wall
when he made that statement in a
Battalion interview yesterday. It’s
awfully hard to be better than War
ren Trahan, Ted Lamp, Paul Hulin
and Don Long, considering that
they anchored the line of the Aggie
defense that finished second only to
powerful Notre Dame nationally in
1974.
One possible reason why that
front four was so good could have
been the four young men who
played behind them and sometimes
in front. Tank Marshall, Blake
Schwarz, Edgar Fields and Jimmy
Dean saw plenty of action in 1974,
with Fields and Schwarz starting
part-time. These four players are
big, agile, mobile and tough as they
come.
Register said he is very pleased to
be able to coach that kind of talent,
but he mentioned one aspect that
may prove to be the Achilles Heel
for the defensive linemen next year.
Depth. “As far as the starters are
concerned, we ll be a little bit bet
ter. The only difference is depth,”
the defensive line strategist said.
Register also said substitutions
won’t be as free as they were last
season unless the second-teamers
or incoming freshmen come
through.
But if the starters stay healthy
next year, there’ll be many teams
who’ll have trouble offensively
against the Aggies. The starting
front wall averages 241 pounds a
man and is equally adept at shutting
out the run as rushing the passer.
Fields, 6-3 and 240, has excellent
range and the speed to make the
plays outside from his defensive
tackle position. He is extremely
mobile and carries his huge frame
40 yards in 4.8 seconds. Many
scribes have dubbed him as a candi
date for All-America in the upcom
ing season. Fields is a fierce pass
rusher and TCU quarterback Greg
Cook will agree with that. The
Horned Frog signal-caller spent the
whole afternoon dodging and run
ning from Fields, not always suc
cessfully, when A&M played TCU
last fall.
Besides being fleet of feet and
mobile, the big junior is a terror
when it comes to digging the cleats
into the turf to protect the middle.
Register commented on Fields’ in
side game with a smile on his face.
“They couldn’t block him last
spring,” he said, referring to the
A&M starting offensive linemen. If
the Aggie offensive line couldn’t
block him, there aren’t many other
people in this country who can.
The other man in the middle will
be Dean (6-5, 253) who has been a
solid performer for the past two sea-

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nolan
Ryan admitted he made more than a
:ew mistakes Saturday, and the
foremost was trying to slip a 2-0 cur-
veballpast the revived Hank Aaron.
Aaron, on a tear of 10 hits in 23
times at bat after a miserable
season’s start, parked Ryan’s curve
high into the left field bleachers for
the go-ahead run in the third inning
and the Milwaukee Brewers held on
for a 6-4 victory over baseball’s hot
test pitcher and his California
Angels’ teammates before a national
television audience.
“I was just geared for anything
hard and he threw me a hard
curve,” Aaron said of his seventh
homer of the year and No. 740 of bis
career, which broke a 2-2 tie.
"Ryan was just as fast as usual,”
Aaron said. "He even had a better
breaking ball than the last time we
saw him. We didn t hit him hard —
nobody can hit him hard — but we
got some timely hits.”
“We didn’t play well as a team
and 1 didn’t pitch well,” said Ryan,
who stilled fanned 12 Brewers to
increase his major league leading
strikeout total to 119.
"Anytime you get Aaron 2-0 and
give him a ball be can pull, it’s a
mistake,” he said.
A sacrifice fly by Gorman Thomas
gave the Brewers a 4-2 lead in the
fourth after Darrell Porter walked
and raced to third on an error by
Jerry Remy.
Sixto Lezcano doubled to start
the fifth and scored the decisive run
on a single by George Scott. After an
infield hit by Aaron and a walk filled
the bases, Pedro Garcia’s sacrifice
fly made it 6-2.
Ryan shares the major league re
cord of four no-hitters with Sandy
Koufax — and lost a shot at a fifth
no-hitter June 6 when Aaron singled
off him with two outs in the sixth
inning.
