the best ball handler on the Aggie
u !.. Martil1 . 1 team. He’s got the moves and
takes advantage of a an oppo
nent’s mistake. Sonnenberg, in
contrast, is the strongest defen
sive man on the squad. He also
plays the “hole” aftd does a good
deal of shooting.
Other members of the starting
line-up are Jim Yates (6’2”, 170),
Lee Davis (5' 11", 175), Steve
Prentice (6’3”, 195) and Kevin
O’Brien (6’2’, 190). Yat#« i« a su
perfast, heads-up type player. He
provides the fast break for the
offense with his good throwing
arm and hands.
There are several players who
could break into the starting line
up: Larry Schueckler, a lefty
shooter; Mike Reilley, a strong
shooter; Steve Moore, an ex
goalie defender; Scot Jones, quick
on the offensive moves, and Doug
Adamson, who’s working hard to
balance his skills.
The Aggies will also play the
University of Texas at Arlington,
Friday at 4 p.m. “They’ve got a
lot of speed on the team. We
really don’t know what they have
after recruitment on the West
Coast. They’ll probably swim us
hard,” Fosdick said.
The team will also travel to
California for competition during
the first week of October. They
will meet San Francisco State
University, the University of San
ta Clara, and participate in the
Northern California Water Polo
Tournament. Reports of this com
petition will appear in the Bat

GirFs Volleyball
Names Team,
Sets Schedule
Girl’s volleyball is now under
way with a team named, a sched
ule set, and practice being held.
The A&M team is a member
of the U.S. Volleyball Association
which includes both men’s and
women’s leagues.
New members of the team are
Beverly Hadeler, Rita Kuntz,
Winnie Jackson, Claudia Smith,
Kathy McGehee, Charlotte Grif
fith, Debbie Balcerowicz and
Frances Navarre.
Players returning from last
year are Beverly Geesch, Jan
Wynn, Pat Wikinson and Jean
Collins.
The team is coached by Ersen
Arseven, a graduate student who
played on national teams in Tur
key.
“He’s a rough coach,” said Col
lins. “He’s given us hard work
outs, a lot of calisthenics and run
ning, since the second week in
September.”
“Our new players have given
us a lot of height,” she continued.
"We gained three Mood setters
and three good spikeft but no one
specializes; everyone is pretty
versitile.”

Southwest Conference football finally gets underway
as the Texas Longhorns entertain Texas Tech's Red Raiders
before an expected 80,000 fans in Austin.
Many thought the Longhorns were a real contender for
the national championship but last week’s loss to Miami
(Fla.) makes the Horns chances remote at best. However,
Texas is not ready to roll over and play dead when it comes
to conference competition. The Longhorns are defending
champs five times over and No. 1 stays No. 1 until its proven
otherwise.
Tech, on the other hand, was the far away pick of scribes
everywhere to finish in the runnerup spot in the SWC and
their play so far hasn’t changed many minds. The Raiders
have soundly beaten Utah and New Mexico but these teams
are not any where near the caliber of Texas. Something tells
me that Darrell Royal has taught his Longhorns how to hold
onto the ball since last wdek’s nine fumble performance and it
looks like Tech is in for a long afternoon. Game time is slated
for 7:80 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium with Texae a
13-point favorite. The Texas defense should rise to the oc
casion and stop the powerful Tech running game. TEXAS
35 - TECH 10.
A1 Canover’s colorful Rice Owls put their 1-1 record
to the test in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. when they
face ninth-ranked LSU at 7:30.
The Owls fell to crosstown rival University of Houeton
in their season opener but evened their record by beating
lowly Montana, 21-10.
LSU had their hands full with the Aggies last week
but Rice won’t put up such a tough fight. The Tigers have
won 11 straight in their Death Valley and Rice is easy pick
ing for No. 12. The Owls haven’t beaten LSU since 1957
and after the lackluster performance against Montana, don’t
get your hopes up.
Tiger mentor Charlie McClendon keep one of the top
winning percentages among college coaches by inviting »uch
prey into his den where 70,000 Cajuns gather like a bunch
of Romans at a Christians-Lions free-for-all. LSU is picked
by 26 but it is just too little if LSU puts the saml team on
the field they did last week. LSU 48 - RICE 7.
Grant Teaff and his Baylor Bears continue their rugged
schedule when they travel to Boulder to face the Colorado
Buffaloes. The Bears fell to Oklahoma, 42-14, in their opener
but rallied to beat Johnny Mayor’s rebuilding Pittsburg
Panthers last week, 20-14.
The Bears are still rebuilding after posting a 5-6 record
which earned Teaff honors as the SWC coach of the year.
Baylor found a solid ground game last week as Gary Lacy
gained 169 yards on 39 rushes and Godfrey White tallied
96 yards on 16 carries. Baylor still has a slight injury prob
lem to remind them of the OU game and there is not enough
depth to fill the gaps. Colorado is a 13-point favorite for the
2 p. m. kickoff with 51,000 fans expected. COLORADO 28 -
BAYLOR 20.
Pity poor TCU. The Horned Frogs are among those
teams that have a monsterous schedule and Saturday they
face what could be the biggest monster in the bunch in Ohio
State. The fourth-ranked Buckeyes beat Minnesota, 56-7,
two weeks ago and are ready and rested for the Frogs.
TCU opened with a victory over the University of Texas
at Arlington 49-13. Those 49 points were the most posted
by a TCU team since they beat Austin College, 68-0, in 1932
but that just might not impress Woody Hayes and his
legions. Ohio State hasn’t won a national title since 1969
and this might be a good year to regain that distinction
since USC must face Notre Dame and Oklahoma. TCU is a
29-point underdog for the 1:30 p. m. kickoff with some 85,-
000 fans expected to jam Ohio Stadium. OHIO STATE 66 -
TCU 12.
Frank Broyles’ falling Arkansas Razorbacks play their
first game in Fayetteville when they host Iowa State at 2
p. m.
Iowa won its opener 48-0 against Idaho while The Razor-
backs record fell to 0-2 with a loss to Oklahoma State, 38-6,
on regional television. Arkansas looked pitiful against Okla
homa State. They used two centers to snap the ball over
the punter’s head three times, fumbled away scoring oppor
tunities and generally looked bad.
Iowa State is seventeenth in the nation after building
their football program under Johnny Majors.
Majors has now moved on to Pittsburg where he re
cruited over 75 junior college players and handed the Iowa
State reins to Earl Bruce.
Bruce is no slouch in his own right, having piloted Tam
pa to a 10-2 record last year.
Arkansas just doesn’t have the same kind of teams it
had in the past. The Hogs have posted 185 yards rushing
in two games compared to 522 for their foes. Iowa State is
a 10-point favorite. IOWA STATE 35 ARKANSAS 17.
The SMU Mustangs have a chance to seek sweet re
venge when they host Virginia Tech in Dallas at 2 p.m.
Last year SMU had won its first two games of the
year coming into the game and was stopped six inches
short of a winning touchdown. The Mustangs went for the
win rather than the sure tie and quarterback John Black
burn was stopped short on a fourth down try from the one
foot line. The loss kept the Ponies out of a bowl game and
certainly didn’t help Hayden Fry, who was later fired.
SMU is 2-0 again, having beat Santa Clara 49-7 and
Oregon State 35-16. The Mustangs have a powerful offense
as Wayne Morris and Alvin Maxson are combining for over
200 yards on the ground. SMU 37 VIRGINIA TECH 15
If you’re looking for an upset look no further, USC
has been on top too long. OU 21 USC 17.
