finished as the sixth-ranked team in the nation.
Four team members and one individual competed for the Aggies
in the match: Edward Koester, Chip Miles, Lee Alexander, Bud
Sullivan and Bill Little.
Little, competing individually, finished in the 28th position.
Spring sports special

enabling fans to see all university-related games this weekend is on
sale at the athletic ticket office.

sas; the Arkansas-A&M tennis match; the women’s softball tourna
ment and the Maroon-White football game.
Pictures needed
The Texas A&M Athletic Department is trying to find some good
football and basketball pictures from this past season for publication.
Any interested photographers should contact Fred Battenfield in
the Sports Information office.
Virdon chooses
starting pitchers
United Press International
HOUSTON — Manager Bill
Virdon has selected veterans Joe
Niekro, Don Sutton and Nolan
Ryan to pitch the Houston Astros’
opening series at Los Angeles and
to form the basis for his rotation
this season.
Vern Ruble and Bob Knepper
will share duty as Virdon’s fourth
starter, and Joaquin Andujar and
rookie Bobby Sprowl are to be the
Astros early-inning relievers, Vir
don said from Sun City, Ariz.
The defending National
League West champions played
exhibition games Monday and
Tuesday in Arizona before travel
ing Wednesday to Los Angeles in
preparation for their Thursday
afternoon opener.
The initial pitching matchup
features the Dodgers Jerry Reuss
vs. the knuckleballing Niekro,
who has never before started a
season opener despite a 136-120
lifetime record and 41 wins the
past two seasons.
“Lthink I’m a more confident
pitcher now than ever,” Niekro
said, “and maybe that comes with
gaining a little respect around the
league.”
He added that in each of his last
two spring performances he felt
strong enough to pitch nine in
nings.
Disabled pitcher J.R. Richard
has been the Astros opening day
starter for the past five years, and
he will accompany the Astros to
Los Angeles. He continues to re
habilitate from a July 30 stroke.
An off-day Friday gives Sutton,
a Dodger for 15 seasons, a Satur
day assignment against his ex
teammates. The Astros signed
Sutton after last season as a free
agent.
Ryan will pitch Sunday.
The Astros first three starters
have 44 Major League seasons be
tween them. Niekro is 36 years
old, Sutton is 36 and Ryan is 34.
Ruble, 30, was the mainstay of
Houston’s division-title drive last
September in the absence of
Richard, and he will start the
Astros home opener Monday
against Atlanta.
Leonard, Hearns
schedule fall boutl
United Press International
NEW YORK — World Boxing
Council champion Sugar Ray
Leonard and World Boxing Asso
ciation title holder Thomas
Hearns have signed for a welter
weight championship showdown
this fall that could be the richest
fight in boxing history.
Leonard, 29-1, and Hearns, 30-
0 with 28 knockouts, will battle for
the unified title in late September
or early October. No site has been
set but the leading cities under
consideration are Houston, New
Orleans and Las Vegas.
Leonard will receive a guaran
teed purse of $10 million plus a
share of the ancillary rights.
Hearns will get $5 million plus a
percentage of the rights. The fight
quite easily could surpass the re
cord $30 million gross set last
November when Leonard re
gained his title against Roberto
Duran in New Orleans.
Mike Trainer, Leonard’s attor
ney, and Emanuel Steward, who
handles Hearns’ business matters,
met last week in Syracuse to nail
down the negotiations. The fight
will be promoted by a new group
called “Championship Events.”
The group includes rock promoter
Shelly Finkel, who has put on
concerts for noted stars such as
Billy Joel and Olivia Newton-
John, and Dan Duva, who runs a
successful fight program in Toto-
wa, N.J.
Trainer and Steward met with
Finkel last Friday morning at the
Syracuse Airport to finalize the
deal. Hearns, who had previously
demanded the same amount of
money as Leonard, finally signed
on Thursday and Leonard agreed
the following day.
Leonard is scheduled to fight
unbeaten champion Ayub Kalule,
a Ugandan now fighting out of De
nmark, for the WBA junior mid
dleweight championship in June.
Kalule is 36-0.
Hearns will defend his title on
April 25 against Randy Shields in
Phoenix.

Changer-Turntable
It is primarily in its computer-locked digital drive format that the 80Z differs from our
other changer-turntables. In addition to controlling actual platter speed to within .01 rpm
of your setting, the MPU unit lets you change it — the digital display lets you monitor it. In
addition, the MPU incorporates a 100-minute stopwatch. The 80 Z also gets the most
refined of our tone arms with a plug-in tube that combines minimum mass with
convenience.
