Tom Chandler is beginning
his 26th year as Texas A&M’s
baseball coach — a long stay for a
collegiate coach. During that
time, five head football coaches,
and four University presidents
have come and gone.
But Chandler stays.
“I like Texas A&M, and I feel
we have something no one else
has in the dedication and spirit
here,” Chandler said as he
watched his team practice re
cently.
Chandler played high school
baseball in Dallas and played col
legiate baseball at Baylor. He
also played professionally in
1948,1949 and 1950 with three of
the Pittsburg Pirates minor
league teams. While coaching
baseball at Adamson High
School in Dallas, he managed a
semi-pro baseball team — the
Alpine Cowboys.

But, he said, today’s pfe

because equipment and faci
are better. The players are
better because tn
Many of Chandler’s players
have gone on to play major
league ball after being coached
by Chandler. Among them is
Gaylord Perry, who played on
the Alpine team.
In 1959, Chandler came to
Texas A&M.
“I always liked Texas A&M,
and apparently they liked me,”
he said. Chandler said he has al
ways wanted to be a coach.
“What I enjoy most is being
on the field and teaching,” he
said. He enjoys baseball because
it is fun to practice as well as play.
And not only does Chandler
enjoy the games. He also wins.
His record for 25 seasons here is
619 wins, 308 losses, and 10 ties.
But Chandler isn’t only in
terested in winning — he also
takes a personal interest in his
players and said his relationship
with them is extremely valuable
to him.
But it’s not a one-way street.
His players like him too.
“He is a very personable
man,” said pitcher Rock King.
“He takes a personal interest in
every player. He is quite a guy.“.
Pitcher Phillip Taylor said:
“He cares what is going on. If
you have a problem you can talk
to him.”
Chandler keeps everybody
busy and emphasizes poise, spir
it and competitiveness on the
baseball field, Taylor said.
Chandler has seen many
changes in A&M baseball in 26
years.
“There is not another sport as
indicative of America as base
ball,” he said. If there are
changes in society, similiar
changes will show up on a base
ball team.
For instance, attitudes have
changed. In his early years at
Texas A&M players were more
eager to learn, he said. When he
came here in 1959 all Aggie base
ball players were members of
the Corps of Cadets, he said, and
were necessarily well disciplined
and there were not as many be
havior problems. “Today,”
Chandler said, “you have to sell
them on the idea — if we are
going to be successful, we must
have discipline, and if not disci-

DALLAS — Tom Landry has
stopped trying to explain it all.
He is just enjoying it while it
lasts. And the coach of the Dallas
Cowboys sees no reason why it
can’t last a while longer.
Dallas’ comeback streak
reached six in a row last Sunday
and the most recent of those ral
lies was the most improbable of
the year.
The Cowboys’ offense, in
particular the passing game, has
set v
not performed well at all during
recent weeks and Dallas keeps
pulling out the games with big —
almost massive — plays.
So if this scenario continues,
how many games might Dallas
lost along the way?
“If we keep making the plays
we are making now we will prob
ably be undefeated,” Landry
saia. “But I doubt we will keep
this up. Right now we are just
jockeying for position. You just
hope to put everything in place
for the stretch.
“Everything you do now is
just keeping you in contention.
This team is obviously different
because we have won so many
games in the manner we have.
But there are 16 games in this
league. Just stay around a while
and things will change. Nothing
ever stays the same."

quit because of mounting losses
on the field.
People inside the university
said Alborn had worked out a
deal to relinquish the last year of
his contract, which runs through
the 1984 season, so that his assis
tants would be paid through
May, 1984, instead of being set
free in December.
“I felt it was an inevitable
situation,” he said. “I stayed
around long enough to know
when you feel like a lame duck.
By my staying and fighting it was
going to be a bad scene for the
players and the university,” he
said.
Alborn is a former Rice foot
ball captain who returned to the
school in 1972 as an assistant
coach and who became the head
man in 1978 at the age of 39. He
took over a program that had
not had a winning season in nine
years. The closest he got to turn
ing things around was in 1980
(5-6) and in 1981 (4-7).
During 1982 and through six
games this year, the Owls have
won one game.
On Monday Alborn tearfully
announced his resignation and
said he would complete his sixth
season as head coach.
He became choked up sever!
times Tuesday as he held his first
news conference following the
announcement, but at the outset
he was the Ray Alborn media
and fans have come to know.
“I apologize for not riding
into my last press conference on
a white horse like James Watt
did,” he said, prompting
laughter.
“The university and I have
reached an agreement,” he said,
“and that is how I would like to
leave it. I want to emphasize the
class manner in which Rice has
conducted itself during all of
this.”
Athletic Director Augie
Erfurth declined comment on
Alborn’s agreement.

Holtz says Hogs look better,

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
The University of Arkansas
Razorbacks worked two hours in

ready for Saturday’s game with
Texas, which had coach Lou
Holtz calls a “game between win

The Hogs, giving in to severe
thunderstorm warnings, moved
inside for the last half-hour of
practice.
“It will be a game among win
ners,” Holtz said. “That’s why
TV shows up and why there are
large crowds. They are winners
and we are winners.”
Holtz noted that the Lon
ghorns were only IVa victories
ahead of the Hogs over the last
six years.
The game between the Hogs
and the second-ranked Lon-
