The Texas A&M University base
ball team ended a long and satisfying
1980 regular season Sunday, pound
ing Rice University 9-5.
The Aggies, despite a mediocre
pitching performance by ace Robert
Slavens, 11-0, rode the three hits of
“Twig” Little and a seventh-inning
home run by Joe Paul Bramhall to
the victory.
The win ended the Aggie regular
season with a 17-6 Southwest Con
ference record (36-10 overall),
second only to the University of
Texas.
Slavens was shaky most of the day,
but finished strongly to clinch his
11th victory.
The Aggies got off to a fast start,
pounding Rice starter Henry John
son, 1-4, for three hits and three runs
in the first inning.
The Aggies didn’t score again until
the fifth inning, when they erupted
for another three runs.
Bramhall’s homer in the seventh,
his first of the season, and two runs in
the eighth finished the scoring for
the Ags.
In the meantime, Slavens was
being touched for 11 hits and five
runs by the Owls, but managed to
hold on.
On Saturday, the Aggies defeated
the Owls in an afternoon double-
header, 2-1, and 17-7, clinching at
least second place in the final SWC
standings.
The Aggie bats had been dormant
for the past few games prior to this
weekend’s 28-run outburst, and
Aggie coach Tom Chandler is re
lieved that has changed.
“We kinda broke out of our
slump,” he said. “Of course, the Rice
pitching staff is not what we’ll be
facing in the Southwest Conference
tournament, but it’s still positive.
Maybe it’ll give the boys confidence
going into the tourney.”
The Aggies take on Arkansas at 8
p.m. May 16 to start off the double
elimination SWC tournament. The
teams qualifying are Texas Tech,
Texas, Arkansas and Texas A&M.

When Tim Scott puts his mind to
to mlhmg, it usually gets done.
The Texas A&M University track
iJivart uncorked tosses of 200-2 in
discus and 63-9 in the shot-put to
o* mlkaway with two firsts and lead his
ick partners to an impressive
ihowing in the Domino-Sunkist
Track Classic in Florida this
:ekend.
Scott was selected the meet’s out-
ilmding performer, and was given a
scholarship to tote back to
ras A&M.
The meet was filled with outstand-
Aggie performances.
The Texas A&M pole vaulters ran
iwayfrom the competition. Randy
lull won the event with a vault of
9,more than two feet higher than
place finisher, Aggie Paul
Montgomery.
Leslie Kerr, once a prime Olym-
)ic hopeful for the Aggies, sped to a

victory in the 400 meters with a
clocking of 45.5 seconds. Vernon
Pittman finished third at 47.3. Steve
Willis posted a 46.6 in the University
division as the Aggies claimed
another first.
One disappointment, however,
was the 1600-meter relay team, who
lost their first race this season,
finishing .7 seconds behind Florida
State University. Texas A&M clock
ed a 3:08.8, while Florida State was
3:08.1.
Jimmy Howard qualified for the
NCAA national meet with a 7-l 3 /4
jump, good for another Aggie first.
Aggie star Curtis Dickey,
although he had previously run in
relays and was the favorite to win the
100 meters, sat out the race due to a
sore knee.
The Aggie tracksters have an 11-
day layoff before their next meet, the
SWC outdoor championships in Au
stin May 8.
