Now the Aggies must sweep Houston of a three-game series this weekend to have a good chance to keep that lead through the final stretch of SWC play. The series in Houston will be the last regularly scheduled games for both teams. A&M has a 15-4 confer ence record and Houston has a 12-8-1 mark. Texas, defending a nine-year streak of conference championships, will take a 14-4 record into their se ries in the hills of Arkansas. What may prove the fatal blow to the Aggies in their attempt at the conference crown is the day’s rain in Houston April 2, striking out a two-game series with Rice Universi ty. Providing rain does not mess up the remaining schedule, A&M needs more than a series sweep in Houston. The Aggies will have an ear turned toward Arkansas, hoping to hear of a Longhorn loss.
