Summer brings us many things. 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.

CHICAGO — Kevin Bell beat
shortstop Pepe Frias’ throw to the
plate on Claudell Washington’s
grounder in the eighth inning to snap
a 4-4 tie Tuesday night and give the
Chicago White Sox a 5-4 victory over
the Texas Rangers.
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.

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

what offers he received.
“A&M is looking at him as either a
flanker or free safety,” Cannon said.
