Despite the cool, crisp winds of
fall, at least one man on the Texas
A&M campus is looking ahead to the
warm, shifting winds of March.
Aggie Head Baseball Coach Tom
Chandler has walked a new crop of
players through a tough fall intras
quad scrimmage schedule, and
watched as some dependable veter
ans fueled his hopes for a good 1981
SWC baseball season.
The Aggies were the surprise team
of the Southwest Conference in the
spring of 1980, finishing a mere one-
half game behind the eventual SWC
post-season tournament champion

Texas Longhorns, and this season
should be no different.
The Ags ended the daily fall scrim
mages last Wednesday and Chand
ler came away optimistic for the
most part.
“There were some pleasant sur
prises,” he said Tuesday. “(David)
Flores, (Robert) Slavens and (Rick)
Luecken had good falls. The starting
pitching should be solid.”
That would be no surpise.
The trio was the driving force be
hind the Aggie drive in 1980, with
Slavens compiling an 11-1 record
with a 2.92 earned run average,
Luecken a 9-5 record and a 2.70 ERA
and Flores a 4-2 record and a 3.80
ERA.
The pitching is only the begin
ning, however.
“This year, we re going to be much
faster,” said Chandler. “We’ll have
more speed than the past few years,
and pretty good power. Not as much
power as the past few years, but a lot
of speed.”
The addition of transfer athletes
Grant Priest at third base and Terry
Lawrence in center field (both from
Blinn Junior College), along with
Billy Cannon Jr. at shortstop should
provide the Aggies with the makings
of a fine team.
Along with those three likely new
starters, veterans such as sophomore
catcher Joey Szekely will be back,
and senior Rodney Hodde will pro
vide power and leadership at first
base.
Joe Paul Bramhall will once again
take left field, and sophomore Bobby
Beach will be the designated hitter.
The right field and second base
spots are still up for grabs. Second,
Joe Paul Bramhall
though, will be a hot spot.
“Second base is going to be some
what fought over all season long.
We ll probably have two or three
boys battling for that job, ” Chandler
said.
Chandler added, however, he was
impressed with transfer Clint Heard
of El Campo at that position.
Regardless of the improvements,
Texas and Arkansas will also be field
ing tough teams, and Chandler gives
the two the nod to fight it out for the
SWC title. The remaining teams, he
said, should scramble amongll j
selves.
But, guessing the SWCctin
has never been an easy task,
“It’s gonna be pretty
is,” Chandler said. “In ask!
son, anything can happen,!
you’ve got the winter. These* The Tex;
men have to remain scholast yball team
