The Texas Aggie baseball team
made it eight victories in a row
Tuesday, sweeping Lubbock
Christian College in an afternoon
doubleheader at Olsen Field.
The Ags had their biggest
scare in the first game, going into
the bottom of the seventh inning
in a 1-1 deadlock. Senior second
baseman Randy Woodruff won it
for the Aggies when he hit the
first home run of his college car
reer, a solo shot over the left field
wall.
Junior Perry Kilgo picked up
his first win in that one, pitching
in relief of Robert Slavens.
Slavens, a freshman, pitched six
innings, giving up four hits and
one run before relinquishing to
Kilgo.
The Ags breezed to an 8-3 vic
tory in the second game. Junior
Harry Francis, a third baseman,
hit a three-run homer in the
second inning to spot the Aggies
an early lead.
Three freshmen pitchers com
bined to hold the Chaparrals to
three runs on eight hits. Jack Mis-
ka started the game and gave way
to Charlie Guinn who picked up
the win, after 2% innings.
The 8-0 Ags open their South
west Conference season this
weekend when they travel to
Waco for a three-game series with
the Baylor Bears.

Tennis team in action
By RICHARD OLIVER
Staff Writer
The Texas A&M University tennis
team, off to what Coach David Kent
terms as “the best start we’ve had in
years,” takes on Louisiana Tech to
day in a 1:30 p.m. home match.
The match, to be played at the
varsity courts, features a Texas A&M
team which has played remarkably
well this season. Admission is free.
Over the weekend, the team defe
ated Lamar University in Beaumont,
Louisiana State in Baton Rouge and
Southeast Louisiana in Lafayette to
raise its season record to 7-2, and
Kent is excited.
“We have some very good play
ers,” he said. “Alberto Jimenez has
never lost against any Louisiana
team, and Trey Schutz will be back
after injuring his hand (against
Trinity).”
Kent was also impressed with the
play of junior Reid Freeman, fresh
man walk-on Tom Judson, and fresh
man sensation Brian Joelson, who
lost for the first time this season
Saturday against LSU.
“Freeman has been playing out
standing tennis and absolutely phe
nomenal doubles,” he said. “Tom
Judson is a walk-on and he’s playing
outstanding tennis. It’s very unusual
*r> have a walk-on make the team,
much less play regularly. He just
keeps on playing.”
One of the more interesting
matches of the weekend pitted Texas
A&M’s Boyd Bryan against his
brother Bill, who plays for Southeast
Louisiana. Boyd won the match 3-6,
6-2, 6-1.
Kent said Jimenez would be
seeded first against Louisiana Tech,
followed by Schutz, second; Free
man, third; Max King, fourth; Brian
Joelson, fifth; and Judson, sixth.

HOUSTON— Houston Oilers
ebacker Art Stringer says he has
nsidered switching to the Cana-
inTootball League if he is unable
negotiate a satisfactory contract
th|the Oilers.
“We have talked with Toronto and
ontreal,” Stringer said Monday. “I
mt to be in Houston and play for
e Oilers next season. I’m not
cessarily interested in Canada,
tlam interested in money.
Next season will be Stringer’s fifth
an injury-plagued professional
Jtball career.
“The average career is 4.5 years.
So if I’m going to get into the money,
this is the right time,” Stringer said.
Stringer, 25, who was on injured
reserve in 1976 and 1978 and hurt a
knee in 1979, earned an estimated
$35,000 last year, a salary believed to
be lower than that paid Houston’s
other six linebackers.
The Oilers reportedly have
offered him $45,000-$50,000 next
year. The average NFL salary next
year reportedly will be about
$60,000.
Stringer becomes a free agent
April 15.
