Oxley, Rector Despite budget problems Wrestlers Running for fourtl straight Texas championship By TONY GALLUCCI Aggie basketball players keep trying but keep losing out in pro ball. Jeff Overhouse was put on waivers by the Memphis Sounds last week along with SMU’s Sammy Hervey. Overhouse tried out for the San Antonio Spurs last year but was cut to make the team limit. Mario Brown tried out for the Houston Rockets but was cut last week. That leaves John Beasley the only Aggie playing pro basketball in America. Last year’s co-captain Randy Knowles had plans for Chicago’s Bulls but the coaches felt he was too small. Knowles then signed and is playing for Barcelona in the European league which competes with Italy, Germany, Belgium and several other European countries. Because of problems which developed after Knowles signed in Spain, Chicago was left without a quality bac kup forward. Knowles plans to return next year if the Chicago situation looks promising. I really must be as crazy as the College Station community claims I am. That startling realization came to mind as I heaved a pound’s worth of ripe Black Angus manure skyward in a distance contest. The meet, com posed of area media, was a local elimination for the state competition to be held in Odessa this Saturday. My first throw shattered at about the 83 foot mark, while my second try sailed 140, good for fourth. *********************************************** And as for my qualifications as a band judge. Anyone with a high school course in geometry should know a straight line. And the force of gravity acting upon batons should have been covered by a simple Physics course. *******515*************************************** The Aggies didn’t quite have the offensive show at Washington as they have had in previous games.They are still averaging 354 yards per game rushing. The school record, set last year, is an average of 265.5 yards per game. Bubba Bean still leads the conference in rushing with a 127.3 yard average. That average puts Bean in a position to wipe out Roosevelt Leaks single season rushing mark of 1,415 yards. Leaks averaged 128.6 yards per game. SPORTS CLUB RUGBY The Maroon side posted a 9-0 vic tory over the Austin Rugby Club Gold side this past weekend, up ping their record to 2-0. The game, in Austin, was domi nated by the defensive efforts of the Maroon. A scrappy Austin team held the Ags scoreless until the clos ing minutes of the game. A&M’s dominating forward line continually pushed back Gold efforts to score. Tim Fields recorded the first Aggie score on a 25 yard penalty kick. That gave Maroon the lead 3-0. Billy Goodrich blasted 25 yards to make the score 7-0. Fields con verted making the final score 9-0. The national champion White side begins their season on Oct«T2 against the Houston Rugby Club Blacks. The Maroon side will also play the Black backup team. The first game is at 1 p.m. on the Rugby field. SOCCER The soccer team has been divided for two matches this weekend with Baylor. The first team will play at 2 p.m. and the second team will play at 11 a. m. Both matches will be played on the drill field. Plenty of seats are available and the public is invited. Captains Mehrdad Farrokhnia and David Longoria indicate that the teams are ready to play. The team is currently 0-0-2 for the season after ties with LeTour- neau College and Stephen F.

Coach Bill Kahler has an experi enced team with three of four state champions back from last year. However, Kahler said, “We lost a couple of good kids. Last year we were strong in the light weights and heavyweights but weak in the mid dle weights. ” This year they will be stronger in the middle weights. Practice will begin on Oct. 14 from 4 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. College weights are in the following classes: 118, 126, 134, 142, 150, 158, 167, 177, 190 and Heavyweight. Their first duel meet this year will be at Rich land Nov. 21 at noon. Then they Arkansas travel to N. Texas State for a night duel. Then on Dec. 6 & 7 they will go to an open Tournament at Richland. The nucleus of this year’s team will be Frank Cox, Sr., 1181b. class; Jim Guinta, Sr., 134 lb. class; Bob Hines, Soph., 126 lb. class; Blair Monhollan, Soph., 142 lb. class, Mike Trahan, Sr., 1671b. class; John Manning, Jr., 190 lb. class; and Jim Rike, Sr. heavyweight. Cox and Giunta are state collegiate champ ions back from last year. But the wrestling team has its problems like any other club. First of all there is a time conflict for prospective candidates with classes running into practice time. Another problem is money. With only $200 plus $100 from the in tramural tournament, plus $50 from former wrestlers. This totals only $350 for the whole program. This can only cover gas money. The ath lete has to provide most oflj equipment and meal money. In spite of this the wrestlingteu does not lack enthusiasm and cam dates. The members come froi New Mexico, South Carolim Wyoming, Maryland, Minnesol; Florida, Puerto Rico, Iran, Pei® sylvania. New York and Texas. To determine who wrestles in matches, eliminations are con ducted. Coach Kahler said, “Tlial what wrestling is all about.” Inli informal meeting with the can4 dates he said, “Duel meets are no thing to get excited about. Toumi ment wrestling is the whole key At the meeting Frank Cox«j appointed president and Jim Gii secretary. Then Coach Kahler gaii out last year’s letters. Coach Kahler summed itupinki informal speech when he said, could be an interesting year.” prepares for TCU (AP) — The University of Arkan sas Razorbacks went through a short drill Wednesday preparing for the Southwest Conference game with 2) Texas Christian University Satur- y day night at Fort Worth. j8 The team wore pads but went through mostly noncontact work, with emphasis on the kicking game. We worked on all phases — field U 1c TAmifc w"ir»k/~»Trc caiH goals, punts and kickoffs,” said Coach Frank Broyles. “I think the team knows what has to be done.” Waymon Hawkins, who spent one day at fullback, was back on de fense Wednesday at his own re quest. Teddy Barnes will fill the va cancy at fullback left by Hawkins. The Razorbacks also spent some time on the passing phase of the offense. They have completed pas ses for a total of only 19 yards so far this year. “I feel confident we will complete passes when we have to,” said Broyles. e ID’s will be inspected for| Tech game | The Athletic Business Office an nounced that due to sellout condi tions, ID’s will be thoroughly checked for the A&M-Texas Tech football game.
