1 game in
TCU series
From Staff and W ire Reports
The Texas A&M baseball-team
won two out of three games
against the Texas Christian
Horned Frogs this weekend in
Fort Worth.
The Aggies began the series
with a decisive 9-2 victory as
pitcher Gary Geiger improved his
season record to 10-2. It was
Geiger’s sixth straight decision.
A&M looked as though it was
going to cruise to another easy
victory in the first game of Satur
day’s double-header as the Aggies
built a 7-1 lead in the bottom of
the seventh.
But TCU battled back to give
the Aggies a scare, before finally
succumbing 7-5.
However, in the second game,
the Aggies could not hold on for
the win as TCU’s Lew Veilleux
singled to bring in the winning
run in the bottom of the ninth
with the score tied at 6-6.
The 7-6 loss gave the Aggies a
39-17-1 overall record and a 12-6
Southwest Conference mark. It
was also the first setback for the
Aggies on the road in the confer
ence play. TCU is now 24-32 and
4-14.
A&M’s Scott Livingstone
turned in another dazzling per
formance at the plate, going 6-
for-9with six RBI for the series.
The junior third baseman also
set a new A&M record for RBI
for the season with 67.
Darryl Fry was the winning
pitcher in the first game as he
struck out eight batters to get his
first complete game victory since
March 28 when he beat Texas
Tech in Lubbock. Fry upped his
pitching record to 7-3 with the
win.
Sean Snedeker started game
two but was relieved by Pat Wer-
nigin the sixth inning.
The Aggies will finish the reg
ular season this weekend at the
University of Houston.

New evidence postpones
UT’s meeting with NCAA
AUSTIN (AP) — The Univer
sity of Texas’ appearance before
the NCAA Infractions Commit-'
tee in connection with 63 rules vi
olations was postponed because
new information was received in
the case, UT officials said Sun
day.
School officials were to appear
Sunday before the NCAA com
mittee at Hilton Head Island,
S.C., on the charges.
“The NCAA Infractions Com
mittee hearing on the University
of Texas at Austin’s case has been
postponed because of new infor
mation developed late Saturday,
April 25,” university president
William H. Cunningham said in a
prepared statement.
Joyce Pole, UT Austin News
Service director, said she did not
know what type of new informa
tion was received.
The university was charged
with violations ranging from
players receiving cash loans to
players selling complimentary
game tickets at inflated prices.
UT Athletic Director DeLoss
Dodds and Cunningham had
called the violations minor.
But some officials said the alle
gations against UT Austin, span
ning 19 categories over a period
of seven years, are similar to
those that resulted in Southern
Methodist University being
placed on probation in 1981.
