Football
With the first week of spring training completed. Coach
Tom Wilson is pleased with his Texas A&M football squad.
The Aggies completed the first week with their first scrim
mage Saturday, and Wilson said: “Considering it was our first
scrimmage, I thought there were some good things done both
on offense and denense. Our running game looked good. I was
especially pleased with the running of Johnny Hector. Quar
terback Gary Kubiak handled himself well in his first scrim
mage. The weather (wet drizzle) affected the passing game but
that’s to be expected. We’ve got a long way to go, but if the
players keep their good attitude they’ll make a lot of improve
ment.”
The Ags are slated to continue work today through Friday
this week. They’ll be off all of next week for the spring break,

Aggies split twinbill with Rattlers
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
Tuesday was a day of contrast
for the Texas A&M University
baseball team.
Although the Aggies had rid
dled opposing pitchers for 69 runs
in eight games before Tuesday’s
doubleheader against St. Mary’s,
the hitting force met a brick wall
named Wally Perez in game one.
The short righthander led St.
Mary’s to a 3-1 victory in the first
game by shutting down the Aggies
on two hits and one walk. The lone
Aggie run came in the first inning
when J.P. Bramhall walked, was
advanced to second and scored on
Terry Lawrence’s double.
In game two, however, Texas
A&M erupted and plastered the
Rattlers, 14-4.
Perez, 4-0, entered the game
with a 2.06 ERA, and settled down
after the first and retired everyone
but designated hitter Grant
Priess, who rapped a single later in
the game.
The one-run, two-hit perform
ance was the worst of the young
season for Texas A&M, now 7-3.
Perry Swanson, 0-1, who hadn’t
started for a year and a half due to
arm troubles, did well in the rainy,
cold conditions, going four innings
and allowing two earned runs. The
big blows came in the third for the
Rattlers when, with two men on a
ball was hit into centerfield.
Lawrence ran up on the ball but
had it skip over his glove and roll
almost to the wall. Both runners
scored. The natural grass outfield
at V. J. Keefe field, the home of the
San Antonio Dodgers during the
summer, is pitted by dirt spots in
places, causing terrible bounces.
In game one, Rodney Hodde,
now batting .667, had an eight-
game hitting streak snapped by
Perez.
Lefthander Marvin Keller came
in to relieve Swanson to begin the
fifth and ended the game, pitching
two innings and allowing two
walks. He had two strikeouts.
Game two, though, was a com
plete turnaround, with the Aggies
rapping a season-high 18 hits and
scoring 14 runs. On the mound,
Jack Miska made his first start of
the year and was removed after
1% innings of work. He allowed
four walks, two hits and two runs.
Bobby Taylor came in in the
second and allowed three hits and
two runs, but received his second
victory of the year out of the bull
pen when the Aggies erupted for
eight runs in the two middle in
nings.
Perry Kilgo and B.B. Schott
made spotless relief appearances
in the sixth and seventh.
Leading the Aggie massacre of
five Rattlers’ pitchers was catcher
Joey Szekely, who was three-for-
four with five RBIs, including two
triples. After just 10 games,
Szekely has already tied a school
record for most triples in a season
with five. The sophomore also has
17 RBIs.
Red-hot Hodde also had three
hits, including a double off the
right field wall, and had three
RBIs.
Second baseman Clint Heard
added three hits, scored three
runs and had a stolen base.
Perhaps the most pleasant sur
prise was the emergence of Priess
in the doubleheader. Besides the
hit in game one, the much-
heralded Blinn Junior College
transfer had three base hits,
scored a run and had an RBI.
Every Aggie batter but Kevin
Smith got on base in the ballgame.
“Perry Swanson looked real
good,” said Head Aggie Coach
Tom Chandler. “We played well
today.”
Taylor was thoughtful about his
second win, which was accom
plished out of the bullpen. Last
season, Taylor was a starter but
had mild arm problems and lost
his spot. Now he has been rele- coming out of the bullpen.”

Barker comes back to take
a 6-3, 6-1 tennis tour win
United Press International
DALLAS — England’s Sue
Barker continued her comeback
from a near retirement from ten
nis Tuesday night, upsetting
second-seeded Wendy Turnbull
of Australia, 6-3, 6-1, in the first
round of the $200,000 Dallas stop
on the women’s professional ten
nis tour.
Third-seeded Pam Shriver of
Lutherville, Md., played Iva
Budarova of Czechoslovakia in
another late-night first round
match.
Martina Navratilova, the top
seed, had no trouble in defeating
Julie Harrington of Spokane,
Wash., 6-2, 6-1. Navratilova hit 11
service winners in the 49 minute
match.
Turnbull was well below full
strength in her loss to Barker, due
to the after-effects of a bout with
influenza which she suffered last
week in Los Angeles. Turnbull
double faulted numerous times
and was unable to put any press
ure on Barker with her service.
Barker was playing a second-
seeded player for the third con
secutive week, after suffering first
round defeats in Seattle and Los
Angeles to Hana Mandlikova and
Andrea Jaeger, respectively.
Last fall, Barker was attacked by
a dog in Australia and suffered a
15-stitch gash beside her right
eye. When she dislocated a toe
shortly after that incident, she said
she almost decided to retire from
tennis.
Unseeded Bettina Bunge of
Coral Gables, Fla., defeated Kate
Latham of Palo Alto, Calif., 6-1,
6-1.

IF THIS CATCHES YOUR EYE YOU MAY
QUALIFY TO EARN $850 PER MONTH
1 DURING YOUR LAST 24 MONTHS OF STUDY.
If you’re a second semester sophomore majoring in engineering, a junior, senior or graduate student majoring in math,
physics or engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about.
Its called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify you can earn
as much as $850 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you’ll receive an
additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands of $$$$ in a civilian school, but in the Navy,
we pay you.
And at the end of the year of training, you’ll receive a $3000 cash bonus. It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings
and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training
job program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $32,000 salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs in
private industry should you decide to leave the Navy later. (But we don’t think you’ll want to.)
