Next SWC action for the Aggies will be in Houston next weekend, closing out the regular season with the University of Houston. Coach Tom Chandler’s Aggies will take a 32-11 record into the se- ries with ORU this afternoon. They will enter Houston with a 15-4 won-loss record in conference. Mark Thurmond, A&M’s and the conference’s most succesful pitcher, is expected to take a rest from play this weekend. Mark Ross, David Pieczynski and Jim McWilliams are scheduled to pitch for the Aggies. After shutting out the University of Texas last week in seven innings, 1-0, Thurmond leads the conference in wins, 5-0, and earned run aver age, 0.51. The Aggies, in beating Texas two-of-three last week for the first time since 1966, set a new school record. Winston Whiddon homered in the Friday game, the only high light in a 12-5 Aggie loss, to bring the team’s total to 38 for the season. The record was 37, established in 1961. In the second game Saturday, first baseman Kyle Hawthorne blasted two three-run homers in lift ing the Aggies to an 8-5 win over the Longhorns. Not only did he push the team total to 40 but moved him self into the individual lead with fuptnamba an? ~ eight homers this year. Mike Hurdle and Buster Turner each have seven home runs and the three are considered ripe for a chance at breaking the record of nine set by Byron Barber in 1961. One record attempt that fell just short of the books was Buster Turner’s attempt at the consecutive game hitting streak. Turner had a single in the game against Texas on Friday, giving him 18 straight games with a hit. The record of 19 was set by shortstop Robert Bonner last year. But Turner struck out twice and popped up once in the 1-0 A&M win. In spite of that, the sophomore catcher was all smiles after the game. “That’s all right,” he said. “I’d trade it for a win any time.” Hurdle, the freshman from Victoria, will enter Tulsa, Okla., today as the Aggie’s leading hitter. He has a .356 average. Boh Dulak, however, who started only the last two games against Texas as desig nated hitter, has a .378 average. Once he gets enough at-bats, he may be giving Hurdle a run for the batting lead. Bonner is leading the Aggies in conference batting with a .346 aver age. Again, Dulak is batting .500 in SWC play. Bonner also had a streak wiped off the slate against Texas. Until his first at-bat Saturday, he had gone 69 official at-bats without a strikeout. He still has struck out only five times this season, three in confer ence. In another department, Buddy Grobe is leading the team in walks with 27 this year, 15 in conference. He is also leading the team in get ting on base, counting hits, walks and times hit by a pitched ball. He has gotten on 74 times, followed by Hurdle’s 65. Thurmond, in his performance Saturday, picked up 11 of the 21 outs on strikes. He has 67 strike outs to his credit this season, 38 in conference. Pieczynski, in pitching six and one-third innings Saturday, had 10 strikeouts. Buccaneers sign hometown favorite United Press International TAMPA, Fla — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed hometown favorite Gary Huff, a graduate of Florida State, and released 1966 Heisman Trophy winner Steve Spurrier, who played at Florida S tate. The Bucs obtained Huff Wednes day in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The Bucs gave up some un disclosed draft choices to get the 25-year-old veteran of five seasons in the National Football League. Huff played out his option with the Bears last season and became a free agent, but as part of the negotia tions, he signed with the Bears and the trade was arranged. In placing Spurrier on waivers, Bucs Head Coach John McKay said this would allow die 11-year NFL veteran an opportunity to work his own deal with the team of his choice, rather than be involved in a trade.
