Pitcher Keith Creel raised his season record to 11-1 for the Horns. Aggie freshman David Flores took the loss and dropped to 2-2. In Saturday’s opener, Rick Luecken tossed a four-hitter for the Aggies, but walked four bat ters to set up the Horns’ victory. He and Longhorn Jim Acker had a pitcher’s duel going through four innings before the Ags scored in the fifth to make it 1-0. In that inning, Twig Little singled in Simon Glenn to give the Aggies their short-lived lead. In the bottom of the fifth, Luecken walked two batters and gave up a single and an RBI groundout which sent the Lon ghorns into a 2-1 lead. Texas scored two more in the sixth to give them their winning margin. Luecken, who pitched five in nings before being replaced by Bobby Taylor, took the loss and dropped to 8-3. Acker is now 8-1. The Aggies won the last game on a throwing error by Longhorn second baseman Dean David. Twig Little, who scored the win ning run, started things off in the twelfth with a bunt single. Mike Hurdle followed with a walk. Rodney Hodde then hit a possible double play-ball to third base. Hurdle was forced at second, but when David’s throw to first ended up in the dugout, Little waltzed in with the winning run. Ags dominate Waco meet The Texas A&M men’s track team dominated another track meet this weekend as the Aggies captured the major events at the Baylor Invita tional at Waco Friday and Saturday. Texas A&M was voted the out standing team in the meet, which featured some of the top schools in the region. Tim Scott won both the shot put (64-2) and the discus (192-0) over the University of Texas’ Oskar Jakobsson. “That was a great performance for him to beat that Texas boy,” said Texas A&M track coach Charlie Thomas. Curtis Dickey won the 100-meter dash in a disputed time — the timekeepers originally clocked him at a lightning 10.04, but later changed it to a rather slow 10.4. “We thought he was ran pretty fast, ” Thomas said.“I’m pretty sure it was faster than that.” The Texas A&M relay teams won the 1600- and the 400-meter relays. The 400-meter team — Leslie Kerr, Vernon Pittman, Steve Willis and Dickey — clocked a 39.7. Randy Hall, the NCAA and South west Conference Indoor champion, won the pole vault at 17-6. Highjumper Jim Howard, injured for most of the season, won the jump at 7-0, and Billy Busch won the 400- meter hurdles in 51 seconds. •ap ys Maroon whips 27-0 By JON HEIDTKE Sports Reporter A 27-0 victory by the Maroon first- Bringers before 7,000 sun-soaked ps climaxed Texas A&M’s injury- t ‘ ie ( prone spring season and gave head i exet - foa t .h T oin Wilson something to dose; jinilp about. M'The best thing was we didn’t get in aduhnybody hurt. And that was a good vitaminifrav to end the spring, ” Wilson said n enlani^bout Saturday afternoon’s game. IX the sb Wilson, who is considering elimi- nage ft latingthe spring game, told a group ^reporters that he would like to see sy stout a regular game in the spring, instead opletvbHhe intra-squad scrimmage, ce miicl]| !, Playingan LSU during the spring recopiiwould bring added revenue to the grams fthletic Department and bolster the ;ing interest in the spring game, ” laid. lit would be a chance to renew old Iries,” he said. “For example, we fryld get to play LSU again, lether it would be at our stadium peirs, the place would be full, and uld not have to count toward the eason. It would just be a game to in the spring, a pride sort of vetttitf US B YouV' of h > in ilson has discussed it with other thwest Conference coaches and received some favorable re- se. “I don’t expect it to pass this , but maybe it will come about in e next four or five,” he said. “It Id also have to be NCAA- tioned. ” ut for now, Wilson was pleased find that his offense was much rther ahead of last year’s team, at l® same point. “The biggest im- ffQvement has been in the offensive ne he said. “They are much smar- 5r and more aggressive.” Quarterback Mike Mosley has also I an exceptional spring. “He isley) has really matured in run- “"the offense this spring,” Wilson Mosley directed the Maroon team to a 14-0 halftime lead before giving way to David Beal. The senior-to-be from Humble completed six of 10 passes for 91 yards and one interception, and also picked up 34 yards rushing on eight carries. In the second half, Beal led the Maroon squad to two more touch downs. Beal hit five of seven passes for 32 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for 22 yards on six carries, including a one-yard touchdown run. Starting fullback Elvis Waller was injuried early, allowing Wilson to ex periment with a split-backfield of Earnest Jackson and Johnny Hector. Jackson piled up 73 yards on 16 carries, including a pair of one-yard touchdown plunges in the first half. The all-stater from Lamar Consoli dated also had a 75-yard run wiped out by a penalty. Hector, who worked out for the first time in two weeks because of a bruised shoulder, added 78 yards on seven carries. “Hector has the quick est feet I’ve ever seen, ” Wilson said. The White team, which never got a ground game established, relied on quarterbacks Gary Kubiak and Mark McQueen to move the offense. The two combined to complete three of 10 passed for 42 yards, with split end Don Jones being on the receiving end of all three completions. Facing one of the toughest sche dules in the country next season, with away games at Ole Miss, Geor gia, Houston, SMU, Arkansas and Texas, and then hosting Penn State, Wilson is depending on immediate freshman help. “We need immediate help at tight end, and depth at defensive end, tackle, and linebacker,” Wilson said. Next year’s punting will also be handled by the freshmen, he said. m y 0 .„L >o)i i i°; @)ii® Monday nite is COUNTRY NITE at the Studio All cowboy hats get in FREE 1401 FM 2818 — Doux Chene Complex Ya’ll Come! ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★A - = SJ THOMAS |!
