Wilson likes scrimmage
Texas A&M football coach Tom
Wilson Wednesday sent his squad
Tickets available at Rudder Box Ofice or
,1 any Student Agronomy Society Member
through a 45 minute scrimmage that
he said was one of the best of the
spring.
“It was definitely our best day of
work this spring,” Wilson said.
“We’re not a good football team yet
but we are getting there. For the first
time since I’ve been here the offen
sive line looked like the aggressive
unit that it has to be to have a good
football team.”
The first unit was led by quarter
back Mike Mosley.
“I keep talking about Mike but
he’s having his best spring ever,”
Wilson said. “He’s been a good
quarterback in the past but he has
really come into his own this
spring.”
The Aggies will have another
scrimmage Saturday, and conclude
the last week of spring drills next
week with the Maroon and White
game on April 19.

By MIKE BURRICHTER
Sports Editor
The most predictable thing about the National League Easlc
the team winning the division crown will go on to win the pennant:
ultimately, the World Series.
The tough part is picking a team to win the major league!:
division.
The difference between the East and the West in the Nit
League is like night and day. Or, say the Houston Astros ani
Pittsburgh Pirates.
There are four legitimate contenders in this division, tvwt
teams that have been at the top for the last few years, and twoyoc
teams that are ready to take the throne.
1) PITTSBURGH PIRATES — The most likely picktowir *
division crown is the incumbent champion. The Pirates, wit a
most explosive bats in the senior circuit, should make up fo: •
shortcomings in their starting rotation with their tremendous:
production.
Chuck Tanner, whose platoon-system managing strategy i§.'
work in other places because he had nothing to platoon, wills
another satisfying year at the Pirates’ helm as he has the mosl:
25-man roster in the majors.
While hitters Omar Moreno, John Milner, Phil Gamer, Tin
and Ed Ott are returning from the best seasons of their can
pitchers Bert Blyleven, John Candelaria and Don Robinson I!
sharply. Blyleven had the highest ERA of his career (3.61), IK
three combined for only 34 wins, Blyleven picking up a careerlm,
Candelaria 12 and Robinson 8. Maybe they got lazy, who could!
them?
Dave Parker will come back from his “off’ season (.310,251
RBI) and will lead the league in at least one offensive category. M:
and Milner will join him in the outfield.
Willy Stargell, who at 38 last year proved leadership qualife
not performance at the plate can make you a league MVP, will:
again be the father of the “family.” He will return to first base,*:
his Buddha-like presence will be counted upon to give the Pirate M
intangible that sets them apart from the rest of the league. kL
baseman Garner, shortstop Foli, third baseman Bill Madlod
catcher Ott make up the rest of one of the most solid, hard! >
infields in the league. Madlock, who came to Pittsburgh viaGiitu
midseason, performed quietly last year. His batting average, i»:
his power, make him a great player. Certainly not a typical Pirt
he does carry the major leagues’ highest career batting average
into this season and should continue to hit.
Even if the starters do have their troubles, the Pirates car
confidently to their bullpen, where Kent Tekulve roosts. Tekulvi
becoming the most feared fireman in baseball, has had 31 savesi
of the last two seasons.
2) ST. LOUIS CARDINALS — The Cardinals finished fc
season and although they were never serious challengers, sic'
flashes of brilliance. That brilliance doesn’t exist in their front: ;
though, as the Cards bungled a chance to obtain the bestrefe
baseball, Bruce Sutter.
With Sutter, the Cardinals would be everybody’s picktowinf
thing. However, with their existing bullpen, the Cardinals aregK
have to expect miracles from their unspectacular starting rotatio:
hope the acquisition of journeyman Bobby Bonds will supply
with the power they have lacked for the past few years.
The Cardinals’ shortcomings are on the mound. The startingroi
of John Fulgham, Silvio Martinez, Phil Vukovich and Bob Foist
had solid seasons last year. Fulgham, who came up from the min
July, ended up eight innings shy of winning the league EIUc'
with his 2.53 mark. Vukovich finished second in the league ii
department two years ago. Martinez has pitched two one-hitters:
two-year career and Forsch has pitched a no-hitter. Potential)
can be the best rotation in baseball.
