The Aggies' attempt to close the gap turned into a widening of Texas' lead as the Longhorns took both games of the Sat urday doubleheader to secure a series vic tory. Texas is now 14-4 in conference play. The Aggies sit alone in second place at 9- 6, 20-10 overall. After scoring 11 runs in the opening game of the series, the Aggie bats were si lenced by Texas pitching during the rainy twinbill. A&M managed to score only 3 runs in both games combined as the Longhorns recorded wins of 8-1 and 13-2. Johnson said the offensive drought was caused by good Texas pitching and lack of consistency at the plate by A&M. "We didn't get the job done offensive ly today," he said. "You can say that ei ther we didn't hit or their pitchers did a good job, and I think it was actually a combination of both." "We've got a couple of guys who are not hitting well, and we are missing our number three and five hitters, so we go out a little bit naked without them," John son added. The A&M pitching and defense also had a breakdown in the doubleheader. Texas banged out 24 hits in both games, and the Aggies committed 5 errors in the opener of the twinbill. Johnson said Texas was one of the best hitting teams he had seen. He said if the Longhorns continued to hit as well the rest of the season they would be hard to catch. "I was impressed with their hitting," Johnson said. "This is the best hitting ball club I've ever seen Texas have. They hit the ball well today, and if they keep on See Aggies/Page 9 SWC STANDINGS Conf.

This month, the 64 best col lege basketball teams are showcasing their talent in front of large crowds and television audiences. Needless to say, Texas A&M was not invited. The Aggies' worst season since 1954- 55 has been over for ten days now. It end ed in the first round of the Southwest Conference Post-Season Classic in Dallas with a loss to the Texas Longhorns, 88-69. Since the season's end, Barone has had his name taken in and taken out of con sideration for the coaching vacancy at the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin athletic director Pat Richter was granted permission from A&M ath letic director John David Crow to talk to Barone about the job, but Barone called and withdrew from consideration Friday. Former New York Knicks' coach Stu Jackson is the apparent favorite for the Badgers' job, and Richter told the Wiscon sin Sentinel that Barone "didn't want to be second fiddle." Rumors have also circulated that Barone is a candidate for the head coach ing position at Wichita State University. Despite the team's 6-22 record, head coach Tony Barone said after the Aggie's loss to Texas that people need to look be yond the record to judge the team. "I hate to think that you judge us on wins and losses," Barone said. "I didn't ever judge these kids like that. This season, we felt like we had to gain some credibility for Texas A&M bas ketball. We didn't have any when we started." A&M's only post season game was also the third matchup of the year with top-seeded Texas, and the second game in five days. Yet despite the longshot odds the Aggies had to upset the Longhorns, they didn't give up without a fight. They jumped out to an early lead thanks in part to the three-point gunning of Chuck Henderson.
