Texas to give A&M first SWC test
No. 1 Aggies face No. 10 Texas, Dressendorfer tonight at Olsen
By Jerry
ASSISTANT sports editor
You can look at the Texas A&M-
p exa s baseball series in any number
of ways. But one thing you won’t
find is a typical weekend of college
baseball. , • . • ,
The Aggies are currently tied with
,1,0 1977 Longhorns for the best
NCAA start ever. The ’77 Texas
team brought their record to Aggie-
land and lost two of three games.
Will the Aggies, who have lost 13 of
the last 14 meetings between the
teams, be able to improve on the re
cord start?
A on can’t tell just by looking at the
teams.
The Longhorns boast one of the
nation’s best pitchers, sophomore
Kirk Dressendorfer, who is 12-1
with 108 strikeouts this year.
But the Aggies, with a 40-1 re
cord, obviously don’t have any
slouches on the mound.
And the No. 1-ranked Aggies
have enough hammers at the plate
to ring most any pitcher’s bell. All
Stulce returns to action
with Texas A&M Relays
By Stan Golaboff
SPORTS WRITER
The Texas A&M track team, fea
turing the return of NCAA Shot Put
Champion Mike Stulce, will host the
Texas A&M Relays Saturday at the
Frank G. Anderson Track & Field
Complex.
Stulce, who won the indoor shot
put title March 11, hasn’t competed
in the outdoor season because of
shin splints. Stulce had a season-best
throw of 68 feet 10 inches in the in
door season and won the outdoor
shot put event as a freshman last
year.
The meet will also feature 14
men’s track teams and 11 women’s
teams.
“There will be a lot of good ath
letes here so it should be a good
meet to watch,” A&M Head Track
Coach Charlie Thomas said.
In the women’s division All-
American Melinda Clark, who
cleared 6 feet 3 1/2 inches last week
at the Texas Relays, will be pressed
by Lamar’s Cassie Presley in the high
jump. Both Clark and Presley are
among the best collegiate jumpers in
the nation.
The women’s 100- and 200-meter
dashes will showcase the talents of
several Texas Southern runners. Be
atrice Utondo, Diane Weber and
Linda Eseimokumoh, all from TSU,
will be favorites to win the 100-meter
dash.
In the 200-meter dash, Weber
and Mary Onyali, from TSU, should
compete with A&M’s Kasandra Mc
Daniels for first.
The 1600-meter relay should be a
close race between Baylor, Texas
and A&M. Baylor has already qual
ified for the NCAAs.
A&M’s Andre Cason, who has a
broken jaw, and Derrick Florence
will battle with Baylor’s Michael
Johnson for the 100-meter crown.
A&M’s Howard Davis and Baylor’s
Kermit Ward are expected to TSU’s
Augustine Olobia a run for the 200-
meter title.
Davis and Baylor’s Raymond
Pierre, two of the top 400-meter
runners in the country will tee-off
against each other in the 400-meter
dash.
The meet starts at noon with the
field events and the running events
start at 1 p.m. Admission is $3 for
adults and $2 for students. The
event is a non-scoring meet. Team
point totals are not kept at non-scor
ing meets.
nine offensive starters are hitting
over .300 and three are above .400.
However, Longhorn players are
in front of everyone in the confer
ence in total hits, runs scored, dou
bles and runs batted in. They are
able to give anyone fits as well.
As a matter of fact, it’s hard to
find a weak spot on either team this
season. But the same thing could
have been said last year when the
Longhorns swept the Aggies in the
series.
So what evidence do the Aggies
have to make them think this year
will be any different?
John Byington, A&M’s leading
hitter at .450, says it’s the team
chemistry he has felt since February.
“We’ve had talent before,” he
said. “This team has talent — but
there’s just a feeling of chemistry
like never before.
“They’ve had our number for a
while, but we have enough confi
dence now. We’re just going to treat
it like another conference series.
We’re not going to have to play over
our heads.”
Right fielder Andy Duke agrees.
“The past few years we’ve had the
talent to match up with theirs, but
they’ve still come out on top,” Duke
said. “It’s there this year — we just
have to put forth the effort to win
it.”
Texas Assistant Coach Bill Bethea
said anytime the two teams play it’s
not just another series.
“A&M had a great team last year,”
Bethea said. “Their ranking this
year makes it a little different. They
haven’t lost any Southwest Confer
ence games and that makes it a little
different. Someone has to give them
some losses.”
Pat Sweet (7-1) will be tonight’s
pitcher for the Aggies. He knew
little about the strength of the rivalry
before transferring here from a Cal
ifornia junior college this season, but
he’s “as fired up as the rest of the
team.”
Sweet gets the challenge of facing
Dressendorfer, who shut out the Ag-

gies in Austin last year.
“I’m going to go out and throw a
normal game like I’ve been doing all
year,” Sweet said. “I’m going to let
the defense do the work.”
But it’s the offense who will have
to stand in there when Dressen
dorfer screams fastballs at them.
Duke, hitting .405, said Dressen
dorfer will have some success, but
the Aggies are up to the challenge.
“He isn’t gonna mess around with
you too much,” Duke said. “He’s not
gonna finesse us — he’s gonna come
right at us. This team has the talent
to hit him.”
Byington is also confident the Ag
gies can overcome Dressendorfer.
“Dressendorfer is a bulldog — a
real competitor,” Byington said.
“With his winning bulldog attitude,
we’re gonna have to scrap. We may
not get to him early — it may be a
while. But I feel confident we’ll get
to him.”
Single games are scheduled for to
night, Saturday and Sunday at 7
p.m. at Olsen Field. A&M has aver
aged 2,316 fans per home game, the
highest ever for the Aggies. The
Texas series is sold out.
An 80 percent chance of rain is
predicted for today with a 30 per
cent chance for Saturday.
Some drafting tips for Jimmy Johnson
Dear Jimmy Johnson,
I've been a Cowboy fan for all the 22 years that
I've stalked this planet. 1 gloated with them in the
glory years when they were truly America’s
Team. I’ve watched anxiously and helplessly as
they’ve shot themselves in the foot more times in
the past few years than Yosemite Sam.
“Oooh, I hate dat rabbit.”
ButJinimy, what I hate is the abysmal drafts
that we, the Cowboy Faithful, have been
subjected to recently. Please, please, please, don’t
blow this.
Remember Rod Hill? Neither do we. Oh, he
was before your time. You see, the lame-brain
trust of Brandt and Schramm used to have this
absolutely comical scheme for determining how
Dallas’ first pick would be used.
It would really break you up. Really.
They had this computer. Well, they always
referred to it as a computer. Although I can’t
prove it, I think it was actually one of those
Mattel electronic football games. But there
always were a lot of dead nine-volts on the floor
of Brandt’s office.
De de de de de del” Charge.
Your turn, Gil.
Anyway, this computer would do the neatest
thing. It was actually programmed to select, get
this, the best available athlete in the draft. One
year it actually suggested they dig upjim
Thorpe. Pete Rozelle said no way.
But Jimmy, you’re not that stupid. I mean,
your Miami players drove cars to practice that I’ll
never even get to wash and wore more gold than
Ramses. No NCAA investigators nosing around
down there. You were too smart for that.
But all the brains in the world can’t beat bad
luck.
So that’s why I’m enclosing a rabbit’s foot, and
the rest of the little sucker just to make sure.
Keep the little rodent near on draft day. It
could prevent Billy Cannons and Mike
Sherrards.
Cannon and Sherrard? Oh, they were these
two top-notch talents, who were just coming into
their own as professionals and then, BOOM! No
more football. Cannon’s neck injury ended his
career and Sherrard’s balsa wood leg rendered
him useless.
So keep Thumper (I took the liberty of
naming him) close by.
Be careful though. You have the greatest draft
responsibility since Landry was hoping to outbid
the AFL.
You have The Pick.
I know you’re getting all sorts of advice from
everyone to Hari Krishnas at DFW to the
paperboy. But this is the best possible tip.
Keep an open mind. Don’t rush out and take
Aikman. Proceed cautiously. Aikman just may be
the best quarterback in the draft. But so what?
Ache-man with a bad neck and a broken leg
probably won’t have too good of a pass rating.
So? Steve Walsh is in the supplemental draft.
So is Steve Rosenbach of Washington State, who
had better numbers than Aikman last year. You
get the first pick in the supplemental, too, you
know. All for the low, low price of next year’s
first-rounder.
So, take Tony “Bonecrusher” Mandarich, the
300 lb. leviathan from Michigan State who can
bench press Brian Bosworth’s ego. Then take
your quarterback if you have to.
But remember, Broderick or Derrick Thomas
could learn to take snaps.
Jim Thorpe did.
