By MARK PATTERSON
Battalion Staff
The first game of last Saturday’s
doubleheader between the Arkansas
Razorbacks and the Texas Aggies
could have been a preview to the
championship game of the South
west Conference post-season tour
nament.
With the two teams finishing the
season first and second, the odds-on
choice is that the two teams will
meet again in the finals of the
double-elimination tournament to
decide the tournament winner.
And if the two do meet again, in
all probablility the pitching match
ups will be the same. That would pit
Aggie left-hander Mark Thurmond
against Hog left-hander Tim Lollar.
The two pitchers met for the first
time in their collegiate careers
Saturday with Thurmond taking a
5-0 decision, the win clinching the
conference crown for the Aggies.
The victory gave Thurmond his
11th victory on the year and ex
tended his string of undefeated regu-

lar season games to 22.
Lollar also entered the game car
rying an unblemished record this
season but absorbed the loss. The
Arkansas left-hander stands at 9-1.
But, Lollar pitched against the
Aggies on guts and determination
alone. The week before the Aggie
series Arkansas played the Univer
sity of Tulsa in a non-conference
contest. Lollar didn’t pitch against
Tulsa but because of his lofty batting
average, .423 (the conference
leader), coach Norn DeBrian in
serted him into the lineup as the
Hog’s designated hitter.
Lollar produced at the plate but
on an attempt to score in the game
he collided with the Tulsa catcher at
the plate and severely bruised his
right shoulder.
The injury had not healed com
pletely before the Aggie series, and
he remained questionable right up
until game time Saturday.
“My shoulder has bothered me all
week and the coaches just wanted to
see if I could get it loose before the
game,” said Lollar after the Aggies
had tagged him for three runs in the
three innings he worked Saturday.
“Since it wasn’t my pitching arm
they (coaches) were willing to take a
chance on me going in the first
game.
“It didn’t really bother me in
warm-ups until I tried to throw from
the stretch. Then it felt different
and I knew I was in trouble if I let
runners get on base.”
Lollar was effective against the
Aggies in the first inning, setting
them down one-two-three. But his
control became worse as the game
wore on and his coach pulled him
after the third inning.
“My catcher came to me after the
third inning and told me that he
(Lollar) was hurting pretty bad and
that his pitches weren’t effective,”
said DeBrian. “So we made the
switch.”
“I knew he wasn’t ready to pitch
today but he said he could go. Be
sides, the arm wasn’t bothering him
until later in the ballgame so we let
him pitch.”
And all Lollar has to show for his
three inning stint is a loss on his
record. But it wasn’t his first against
the Aggies. Texas A&M beat the
left-hander last year at Texas A&M
in what ended up an average year
for the Arkansas pitcher. But this
season things have changed.
“All I could throw last year were
fastballs and sliders,” said Lollar.
“But all last summer I worked on a

HOUSTON — Either the local
hockey fans “start writing a lot of
checks” or the Houston Aeros will
become just one more defunct
franchise.
So says Ken Schnitzer, the no-
nonsense Aeros board chairman.
If there was any doubt Schnitzer
was kidding as he pushed a franch
ise-saving season ticket drive, he
stopped the snickering at a Monday
news conterence when asked what
he planned to do if the sale fell
through.
“We will shut down the front of
fice. We will look at the players’
contracts to see what can be done
there. And we will start filling dates
at the Summit that the Aeros will
not need, said Schnitzer, a de
veloper whose primary sports inter
est is keeping tenants in the Summit
sports arena which he operates.
Two full days remain for fans to
put down as little as 10 percent on
season tickets which would convince
Schnitzer to try to bring a National
Hockey League team into Houston.
The owner said 7,000 season tick
ets must be sold by May 5. Through
