The Aggie baseball team is off to a 19-4 start this season. United Press International HOUSTON — Native Californian Dan Pastorini, on his way back home in a trade that brings Ken Stabler to Houston, says Oakland’s veteran quarterback may not have an easy time getting post the Oilers’ No. 2 passer. Even coach Bum Phillips, in announcing the trade last Saturday, said Stabler, 34, would have no auto matic advantage over Houston’s third-year pro Gifford Nielsen, a Mormon whom teammates nick named “Pilgrim.” “I’ll tell you, ” Pastorini said, “the kid (Nielsen) is the apple of my eye. He’s been a great friend. He’s a great athlete. He’s learned more football in two years than a lot of athletes would in five or six. He’s very in tense. “I think Mr. Stabler might even be surprised when he competes with Gifford. It’s going to be an interesting situation. ” Pastorini, who age 30 is ending nine troubled seasons with the Oil ers, said in leaving he would offer Nielsen the same advice he gave when they first met;” stay out of bars and go to the right churches.” Pastorini did not take his own advice, and his fast lifestyle contri buted to friction with some of the city’s football fans and with some sports reporters. “I’m leaving a city that has not been the easiest place to grow up in. It has not been the most difficult either,” he said. “I’m leaving with mixed emotions. ” Pastorini covets the limelight, and he indicated in a short farewell speech given at a news conference he called Tuesday that the media were Staff photo by Lee Roy Leschper, Jr. Bjaseball year yielding nany pleasant surprises ulded, “The ise age; red-handed.

Now he knows they are ready. “Nothing- succeeds like success, and they’re stepping forth very well,” he said. “That’s quite a step, coming from high school right into the Southwest Conference.” Another area in which Chandler was concerned was catcher, where Buster Turner had started for three seasons. The catching duties are shared by a freshman and a senior walk-on. Freshman Joe Szekely and senior Doug Teague make up the odd couple behind the plate. Szekely has played in 13 games and is hitting .205. Teague, a walk- on split end for the Aggie football team, has made 11 game appear ances and is hitting .214.

KeyboARcl Center MANOR EAST MALL Layaway BRYAN, TEXAS partly to blame for the negative im age many fans held of him. Local football fans voting Saturday in an intormal newspaper poll preferred Stabler over Pastorini by a count of 43-3. “I would like to say I’m very sorry for not getting to know everyone in the city, for I feel that had I had that opportunity, it would have been easier on all of us,” Pastorini said. The incident which apparently caused Phillips to seek a trade was Pastorini’s blow up after being told by Phillips he could not race drags ters. At that time, Pastorini deman ded to be traded.
