By LYNN KENNEDY

and running in the U. S.”

Adreinne is not completely new
to the states. She toured the U.S.
in 1970 for four months to gain
experience in cross-country run-,
ning. She entered six major
meets from southern California to
Washington, D.C. and she partici
pated in the third International
women’s cross-country champion
ship which was run at Frederick,
Maryland.
Adrienne also has an interest
in opera singing. She was a final
ist for two years running in the
Sun Aui Contest. This is a con
test which allows the winner her
choice of scholarships to study
opera in Europe.
Her father is a sports journalist
for the Age in Melbourne and her
mother is a classical singer-pianist.
She said, “I have gotten my in
terest in sports from my dad and
my interest in music from my
mother.”
Before Adrienne decided to re
turn to school she was a private
secretary to the Dean of Engi
neering at Monash University in
Melbourne and she also worked
as an executive secretary for the
Conzinc Corporation i n Mel
bourne. “In Australia the skilled
secretary is a prestigious position
and very well paid. There is a
difference in status and money
between the girl Friday and a
private secretary,” she said. .
She also added that her secre
tarial experience was very help
ful in school because she can take
lecture notes in shorthand.
According to Adrienne the edu-
Perdone, 24 hour record holder,
both of recent Olympics, and pro
fessional runner Harold Downes,
who runs the mile in under four
minutes.
Her world’s best times include:
four miles 21 mins. 52 secs., five
miles 28 mins. 20 secs., 10 miles
57 mins. 23 secs., 15 miles 1 hr.
29 mins. 33 secs., 16 miles 1 hr.
38 mins. 8 secs., 20 miles 2 hrs.
06 mins, (marathon 26 miles 385
yds. 2 hrs. 46 mins. 30 secs.) These
records were all set during July
and August of 1971 in Victoria,
Australia. 1 mile 4 mins. 28.8
secs, and 5000 meters 15 raiiii if|
48.5 secs, both set in Sydney, Aus-P
tralia in January, 1972 and fiv(J
miles 27 mins. 35 secs., six raila
33 mins. 09 secs., 1,000 metersJI
mins. 8 secs. All set in Adelaide,
Australia in January of 1972.
Adrienne is 31 years old.

cational system in Australia is
much more difficult. She said that
you are given comprehensive quiz
zes at the end of nine months
and if you flunk two courses you
are out. “If you flunk one course
you may carry it next year,” she
said, “however, there are no small
quizzes during the year to chart
your progress.”
She wanted to come to A&M
because she knew it was a fine
school. She is here on scholarship
sponsored by the Southwest Hous
ton A&M Club and she will repre
sent the Aggies in women’s cross
country and road races sponsored
by the Physical Education Depart
ment. She said that she has al
ways had a strong interest in
sports and she is looking forward
to developing skills in the other
sporting activities sponsored by
the P.E. Dept.
Her training schedule includes
running 16 miles a day—about six
to eight miles in the morning and
eight to 10 miles at night. She
says that anyone who wishes to
condition for cross-country events
should start out with the shorter
distances and then gradually work
up to the long runs. She said,
“Running is like anything else,
you get out of it what you put
in and the only way to be great
is to practice hard and try your
best. Those that do this and have
a little natural talent will always
come out on top.” She has a strict
diet consisting mostly of health
foods.
She said she doesn’t like the
humidity of College Station
weather and she misses the big
city life of Melbourne.
She hasn’t made up her mind
whether or not she will return
home to teach and coach or if she
will stay here in the States. She
said a lot will depend on the job
possibilities.
She is currently listed in Guin-
ess Book of Records which may be
a first for A&M’s coeds.
Her trainer back home is Fred
Warwick who is a former middle
and long distance record holder
and a promient masseur in Mel
bourne. He has coached Bill

Basketball
Season Starts
The deadline for intramural
basketball for classes A, B, C,
G, and X is Oct. 17. Now’s the
time to get your teams together.
In volleyball play this evening,
some real talent shone through
as Peanut Gallery faced Black
Awareness Committee and
STATs faced BCs.
Peanut Gallery outskilled and
generally outplayed BAG with
four players who would make any
collegiate coach turn around and
look again. BAG could have
matched play if they’d gotten to
gether and worked on something
beside brute strength and agility.
Especially outstanding on Gal
lery was Dick Fikes who had
excellent ball control and didn’t
miss a single spike. Gallery won
2-0.
In the second interesting con
test, the BCs gave STATs a run
for their money in a split match.
STATs clearly had two near
professional players, Ersen Ar-
seven and Jan Szalowski, who
did everything but play all six
positions. BCs looked fine when
they played together and pulled
together well when their strong
server aimed into STATs’ weak
spots.
With the score one to one the
match took on some real play.
BC players were diving and mak
ing near impossible saves while
STAT relied heavily on its spik
ing and open-hole tipping.
STATs won the match, well
contested by BC.

Just off University Dr.
the reeling Oilers out of a 16-
game tail spin.
“We are in' a winning busi
ness,” Gillman said in announc
ing the dismissal of Peterson,
who led the Oilers to only one
regular season victory in 19
games as head coach. “There is
no excuse for failure in our busi
ness.”
Gillman said the decision was
made after Sunday’s 48-20 loss
to Denver, H o u s t o n’s fifth
straight defeat this season after
a 1-13 year in 1972.
Peterson, who came to the Oil
ers with what he called a lifetime
contract last year, had been
rumored on the way out Sunday
night when a player, who asked
not to be identified, said it was
common knowledge among the
players that Peterson had been
fired.
Gillman, who formerly coached
at San Diego and Los Angeles,
becomes Houston’s eighth coach
in Oiler history and the third in
as many years.
“We tried to do everything we
could to aid Bill,” Gillman said.
“I think we’ve spent more money
on various programs than most
teams in pro football in hopes
that we could get this thing
turned around.”
Gillman took charge as general
manager March 2 and announced
he had no desire to do any coach
ing again. On Oct. 3, prior to
a 31-26 loss to Los Angeles,
Peterson said he had asked Gill
man to help out with the offense.
Gillman had been in charge of
the Oiler offense the past two
weeks. He has been stationed in
the press box during games where
he called many of the plays.
“I just wanted to be general
manager,” Gillman said. “But
when you’re 1-18 you’ve got to do
something. I’m no Messiah that
can come in and turn this thing
around. I do hope, though, that
we can at least give our football
team the respectability that it
should have.”
Oiler owner K. S. “Bud”
Adams said the decision was ei|
tirely Gillman’s. Asked i
Peterson’s contract, Adams
it would be honored.
“Bill is not being fired, hii
just being relieved of his dutial
as head coach,” Adams said,
“We will continue to honor tkt
agreement. I don’t know if hi
would work in some other <
ity or not.”
Gillman guided the Los Ange.
les Rams to an NFL Wester.
Division championship in his fit?
seson as a pro coach in 195S
During his 16-year pro coacl
career, he compiled a 116-1
record and earned a reputatia
as a hard-nosed coach.
When Gillman took charge t!
the Oilers in March there m
rumors he would soon step icti
Peterson’s job too. After 1
day’s announcement, Gillmn
again said he never sought Pete,
son’s job.
“I want it understood that
didn’t come to the Houston Oiles
with the idea that I wai goia;
to become their head footti
coach,” Gillman said.

Ag Water Polo Finds Defeat
The Aggie Water Polo team
again traveled to compete this
last weekend. Wednesday they
met the Texas Tech Red Raiders
and continued on to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, for the Lobo Tour
nament held there.
In the Tech game the team
controlled play throughout with
Doug Adamson leading the A&M
scorers with six goals. Final was
17-6.
Brigham Young University lost
to the Ags in the first game of
the University of New Mexico
tournament. With a 14-8 score,
Lester Hamann led the team’s
scoring with five points.
Air Force Academy defeated
A&M in the next game, 12-4.
Hamann, offensive strong man,
was injured leaving the team
without leadership on which to
base an effective offense.
Lobos also beat the Ags, 17-2.
Again it was the matter of no
peg on which to hang the respot
sibility with Hamann
action.
In the final game, which let
the Ags fourth overall for H*
tourney, two overtimes
called. The deciding overtiw
became A&M’s downfall as i©
takes became the determinini
force. The final was Air Fors
