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.

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. Austin
University.

By ROBERT CESSNA
With a $3550 budget you wouldn’t
expect a wrestling team to be gun
ning for their fourth straight, state
collegiate championship but Texas
A&M is.
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.”

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.
