Area high school football news By TONY GALLUCCI Sports Editor Well y’all have heard by now that the Aggies are gonna be pretty tough this year and you might’ve been picking grapes when the vine told you that Bryan High is the schoolboy pick this year. So what more could you ask for? How about an equally tough 3A high school in the same area. The A&M Consolidated Tigers apparently felt they weren’t about to be left out of the local sports scene and romped a favored Wharton team by a score of 18-0 Friday night in College Station. Sporting a trio of backfield bos ses, Dean Spannagel, Reggie Carr and Brad Davis, the Tigers churned out 140 yards to half that by Whar ton and added another 33 yards in the air to Wharton’s 40. Significant was Consol’s ability to push the vis itors at will down the field piling up 13 first downs to Whartons three. The opening game jitters showed as Wharton lost 115 yards on 13 penalties, mostly offsides. The unheralded Carr was the spark for the Tigers that evening with 55 yards but had a beautiful 59-yard scamper called back for clipping across-field. The Consol line of Steve Boat wright, Ashraf Ayoub, Richard Cox, Kenny Davidson, Hamp Keahy and Paul Gardner did a superb job. So did the band. The shutout was almost snuffed hut a 45 yard Wharton pass play died at the seven yard line as time ran out. Hunter is still consistent Associated Press They Rent That-Away!

After all, Hunter had been the most consistent pitcher in the league in recent years. Those dreams now have turned into ashes, but it’s not the fault of the ace right-hander. He has held up his end of the deal. After a shaky start, in which he lost his first three decisions of the 1975 season. Hunter currently owns a 20-13 record — the fifth consecu tive year in which he has won at least 20 games — a sparkling 2.60 earned run average, a career high seven shutouts and 27 complete games — the most by a Yankees pitcher in 54 years — in 35 starts. Billy Martin, the new Yankees manager, is impressed by those numbers and by Hunter. “I’m a great manager when he pitches,’’ says Martin. “People don’t give him enough credit for being smart,” adds the manager. “He’s got great stuff and he knows where to put the ball. He is the only pitcher who can pitch with control and velocity. Other pitchers have to let up to have that kind of control. Slugging Reggie Jackson, Hunt er’s former teammate at Oakland, also is impressed. “The Cat is the best,” observes Jackson. “He likes to beat us because of who we are. Hunter has beaten the A s four straight times this season." Hunter admits that his latest vic tory, a 2-0, six-hitter over Baltimore on Sunday, was something special. It enabled him to become only the third pitcher in the 75-year his tory of the American League to win 20 or more games in five consecu National League East W L Pet.

I just hope 1 can keep it up. “It feels great,” he continues, “but I owe it to the teams behind me. To Oakland for the first four seasons and to the Yankees this year. A pitcher is only as good as his team." The Tigers will play in Crock this weekend against a consuM 1 weaker unit. For the first timeii many years, the Tigers may startfe season 2-0.
