ing first base for the defending
Southwest Conference champions.
“I used to play third base,”
Hawthorne said of his pre-A&M
days. “But when I came here they
put me at first and I like it a lot
more. First base is a slow man’s pos
ition and that’s what I am.
“The other infielders’ jobs are
hard compared to mine. I d say my
position is about medium difficulty.
Sure, I have my job to do, but 90
percent of it is catching the ball.
And that should be instinct. If you
can’t catch the baseball, you
shouldn’t be playing. ”
Hawthorne is not restricted solely
to first base. He is also the Aggies’
back-up catcher behind Buster
Turner, a job that he said requires
more work than playing first base.
“Catching is rough on you,”
Hawthorne said. “At first base you
might be involved in almost every
play, but at catcher, you are in
volved in every pitch. It wears you
out, but I like it.
“When I’m playing catcher. I’m
in control. I can set the pace of the
ball game. Catchers have to know
what each hitter can hit and how fast
each runner can run.”
Coach Tom Chandler appreciates
the fact that Hawthorne has the abil
ity to play two positions for the Ag-
gies.
“Kyle is a very valuable man, ” the
Aggie coach said. “We need two
good catchers on the lineup because
it’s a tough position. And Kyle is a
versatile athlete. He gives it all he
has.”
Not only is Hawthorne a defen
sive leader for the Aggies, he is also
a big offensive contributor.
“He’s our hottest hitter,” Chan
dler said. “Kyle is carrying our ball
club right now. We really need 1J
bat in the lineup.”
In 34 trips to the plate, Ha»iij
orne has had 13 hits to lead ttej
gies with a .382 average i
HBIs. He also has five hoi
this season, just four off’thesenj
record of nine set by Byron B
in 1961.
“You don’t ever plan
homeruns,” Hawthorne saio. ift)
ing to predict when he migl
the 17-year-old record. “Yoiiji
get into a streak where you cull
the hall good — where yout
confidence.”
Chandler has confidencej
Hawthorne’s ability toputthelj
out of the park.
“We have about nineg
spring break,” Chandler said, ij
I’d say he’ll have the recordi|
those games.”

Some basketball coaches whose
teams will participate in the NCAA
playoffs have been openly critical of
the early pairings, claiming that too
many of the top teams have to face
each other in the opening rounds.
Not so Arkansas Eddie Sutton.
He’s just thankful to be there.
The NCAA committee heaped
most of the power in the West and
Mideast regionals with half of UPI’s
Top 20 crowded into those re
gionals, including No. 6 Arkansas.
“First of all, we re just happy to
have been extended an at-large
hid,” Sutton said in a telephone
interview Tuesday.
But he admitted, “without doubt,
the West and Mideast regionals
have more quality teams than the
other two regionals, although any
one who makes it to the NCAA
playoffs is a good team or it wouldn t
be there.
“The NCAA tou rnament commit
tee has a very difficult job not only
in selecting teams but also in placing
at-large teams across the country,”
Sutton said. “I think probably this
