There are hot, sticky days spiced with an occasional thunderstorm rumbling through and cool, breezy nights chatting with friends at local clubs. Along with the schoolwork and everyday chores, there is a whole new brand of sports in the summer. Jogging, bicycling, softball, frisbee throwing, and intramural sports abound at Texas A&M during the next three months. Aggie varsity sports will be taking a vacation for awhile, and that leaves the potential stardom for us “would-be jocks” who live out our sports fantasies in intramural activities or on the sandlot. There are many of us. We are heroes for a moment as we knock in that winning run or hit that winning volley to clinch victory. For the summer, we “jocks” rule. As sports editor, I have written columns about everything from the Astros to watery cokes, and I’ll continue to write about Texas A&M sports, also. There is much to be found here on campus. Talented, hard-working people can be found, whose claim to fame lies in their accomplish ments on the softball field or raquetball courts. Interesting stories are around every comer, but are hard to find. This is what The Battalion will try to bring to the sports pages this summer. You need look no further than the Houston or Dallas papers to find out what’s going on in sports around the nation, so we will concentrate on what’s happening at Texas A&M and the Southwest Conference. Also, along with the right of The Battalion sports staff to write columns about sports and insert our opinions, you as readers also have a right to give your opinion through your letters. We want to bring you a good sports section that you can be proud of, and is interesting and informative. Your reactions, opinions on our columns, and suggestions or ideas will be appreciated. Let us know what you think. It’s the only way we can improve. ton of football great las his eyes on A&M NEW ORLEANS — The multi- Jented son of former Louisiana [ate Heisman Award winner Billy Won has all but ruled out a major ague baseball career this year and robably will play football at either V or Texas A&M University. “My boy’s heart has always been in Ml, ” Cannon, college football’s A player in 1959, said of son Billy, , Tuesday in an interview pub- ihed in The Times-Picayune. “He as really looking forward to (Tues- ly’s) draft.

Bell drew a one out walk off losing reliever Jim Kern, 2-7, and advanced to third on Harold Baines’ double. Washington, pinch hitting for Bruce Kimm, hit a grounder directly at Frias, who threw too late to the plate trying to nail Bell. The Rangers tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth on Pat Putnam’s pinch hit home run off winning reliever Ed Farmer, 4-0, who replaced Ken Kravec in the eighth inning. Rich Wortham bailed Farmer out of a ninth inning jam to record his first save. Chicago took a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Jim Morrison led off with a single off starter Gaylord Perry, advanced to second when left fielder Al Oliver misplayed the ball for an error, took third on an infield out and scored on Lamar Johnson’s infield out. says .^VCOME SxIq.

The elder Cannon said his son received meager contract offers from several major league teams and probably will pass up a pro baseball career at this time. Cannon said his son delayed his decision on whether to attend col lege to wait for the draft and see what offers he received. “A&M is looking at him as either a flanker or free safety,” Cannon said.
