in the positions of quarterback, wide
receiver, tight end and defensive
hack.
Leading the pack was Bryan
High’s All-American scathack Curtis

Rita Swindell s free throw with 30
seconds remaining put the game
away for the Texas Longhorns as the
A&M women’s basketball team lost a
43-42 heartbreaker.
It was the Aggies first defeat at
home. Their record now stands at 7-4
for the season.
A&M started the game a hit cold as
Texas built a quick 9-4 lead. But the
Ags soon gathered momentum, con
sistently getting in perfect scoring
position under the basket, and
mounted a 20-11 lead. The Ags de
fense kept the Longhorns scoreless
for an incredible ten minutes. At
halftime, the Aggies were on top,
22-15.
Not until about eight minutes re
mained in the game did the Lon
ghorns manage to even the score.
Both teams traded the lead hack and
forth, ending up in a 42-42 deadlock
with just seconds remaining. Then
came Swindell s free throw that sec
ured the win for Texas.

Battalion Stall' Writer
In the midst of basketball and
track, the cracking tune of bat against
ball can already be heard at the A&M
baseball field.
Coach Tom Chandler’s crew has
been conditioning and going through
drills the past two weeks in prepara
tion for their season opener against
St. Mary’s University Feb. 21.
“We re looking femvard to another
great season,” said Chandler, “al

Thurmond lost to graduation, the

new material. Only three starters

national ranking and reached the
NCAA Midwest'Finals.
“The last three years have just
been tremendous, added Chan
dler. “This will he somewhat of a
rebuilding year.
Returning this season are
shortstop Robert Bonner, first
baseman Kirk Campbell and outfiel
der Billy Raymer.
The pitching department looks
strong as all of last year’s fireballers

veteran James “Hoot Gibson, Clint
Thomas, David Lockett, Kirk
Campbell and Alan Wilson.
Returning squadmen who are
probable starters are outfielders
Ricky Crabtree and Craig Hodges,
second baseman Tommy Larsen and
catcher John Biersner.
Chandler also recruited two
players from junior colleges to help
fill the gaps. They are third baseman
Winston Whiddon from Panola
Junior College and Buddy Grobe, a
second-baseman who spent last sea
son at Temple Junior College.
Pitcher-outfielder Mark Thur

Marc Ashley, first baseman Boh
Dulae, second baseman Rand\
Woodruff and shortstop Scott Pasc
hal are freshmen in contention for
starting positions.

The 1976 schedule is composed of
18 home games and nine visits to

The Ags will compete in the Alamo
City Bicentennial Tournament in
San Antonio, March 14-17.
The boys have been working
hard, said Chandler. “We are verv
