The Cincinnati Reds aren’t ioverlv concerned about that.

Cedeno, who is going back to the outfield full-time this year with the Reds and will be their regular center fielder, is just get ting over the flu. But, before it got him down, Cedeno, with his stratospheric .435 batting fi gure, was challenging Kansas City’s George Brett and Boston’s Jim Rice for the Grapefruit Cir cuit hitting title. “To me, Cesar is a blue-chip player,” says Reds’ Manager Johnny McNamara. “He gives us our first bonafide center fiel der since Cesar Geronimo, and he really showed me something when he came in early with the pitchers and catchers this spring.” Before the 1978 season, the Astros signed Cedeno to what they called “a lifetime contract.” It was for something like $3.5 million and covered 10 years. That June, he tore ligaments in his left knee sliding into second base in a game with the Cubs and in the 1980 playoffs with the Phillies, he suffered ex treme ligament damage to his right ankle trying to beat out a ground ball at first base. He hit .309 for the Astros that season. Alternating between first base and the outfield for them last season, he tailed off to .271. The Astros felt a sense of dis appointment in the right- handed hitting 31-year-old Cedeno despite the fact he ranks in the top three in every major offensive category in their his tory. The Astros felt he could’ve done more. The Reds, on the other hand, are looking at him in a different light. Ted Kluszewski, the Reds’ batting coach, worked with Cedeno this spring, changed his swing somewhat and quite ob viously did a whole lot of good. “With those knee and ankle injuries he had, I think he forgot es Aggie tennis i being in front’ grabbing it. great hands n UT defeats women; men to host No. 8 TCU by Denise S.

Pate and teammate Karl Rich ter are the defending NCAA doubles champions and will play Joelson and Tom Judson in the No. 1 doubles match. Coach David Kent is confi dent of the Aggies’ chances to win. “They’ve got a great team,” he said, “but so do we, and we al ways play TCU tough.” Team captain Judson said: “I think we’re going to win.

From there, all those in the event will bike along a route on the Highway 6 bypass on the east side of Bryan and College Sta tion. Activities begin at 8 a.m. April 10. The swimming event will have several starting times, with participants being assigned one in accordance with their esti mates for completion. “Once they start, however, the clock keeps running until they complete all three events,’ id. “I Weis said. “In essence, partici pants are competing against the clock — and themselves — rather than necessarily against other individuals.” Trophies will be awarded to the top four finishers in 10 diffe rent age groups, with separate categories for men and women. T-shirts will be given to all parti cipants and commemorative plaques or paper weights will be awarded to those who finish the event. Weis said that each person must be accompanied by some one to count laps at the swim ming pool and transport the participant’s bike to the start of the cycling event.

I think we’ve got him back to where he was a cou ple of years ago. He’s kind of an impatient man. That’s under standable. He was a pretty good ballplayer.” For their part, the Astros are delighted with the spiritedly aggressive Knight, who made a special point of seeking out club President and General Manager A1 Rosen after the deal was made. “They told me a lotta stories about how tough you were when you were playing and I just wanted to meet you and see for myself,” Knight said to Rosen. “Look, I don’t wanna fight you,” Rosen laughed, throwing up his hands. “At my age, I just wanna be your friend.” Rangers trade Oliver to Montreal for Parrish United Press International For the second straight day, a major trade dominated baseball news. The Texas Rangers sent A1 Oliver, a .303 life time hitter, to Montreal Wednesday in a deal that should improve the Expos’ chances of winning their first National League pennant. Oliver was obtained by the Expos for third baseman Larry Parrish and minor league infiel der Dave Hostetler about 36 hours before the inter-league trading deadline will go into effect. “The key to the deal is Oliver wanted to be traded,” said Rangers’ Manager Don Zimmer. “And we got the best deal we could for him . in that way, I am pleased with the deal.” In exhibition games Wednesday: Ray Burris allowed two singles in six innings and pushed his record to 5-0 for ihe Expos in a 3-0 victory over the Rangers.
