begin the ’86 season Saturday against Pan Ameri
can in a double-header beginning at 1 p.m.
First base is unsettled right now
because of the injury last week to
All-SWC first baseman Fred Gegan,
who broke his thumb in a freak acci
dent. Geiger is Gegan’s backup, but
Johnson wants Geiger to concentrate
on pitching.
Senior Pat James, who is also bat
tling for a starting job in right field,
is the possible starter at first.
James is challenging senior Bill
Doug Potter for the right fielder’s
job. Potter injured his shoulder last
season, but is recovered now. He hit
.322 with seven doubles for the Ags
in 1985.

parachute jump sponsored by Mu
