Ever hear of lacrosse, the sport
that sounds more like a French
word for a crucifix? Well, a sport it is
and it’s alive and thriving on the
A&M campus.
Lacrosse is a fast paced, physical
sport played much like hockey, only
on grass. The ball used is a hard
rubber sphere about the size of a
baseball. The players wear pads and
use netted sticks to move the ball
which sometimes reaches speeds up
to 90 miles per hour on goal shots.
Fresh off whipping the Univer
sity of Texas by a 6-4 margin, the
A&M lacrosse team travels to the
Alamo City to play the San Antonio
Lacrosse Club.
Wally Green scored two goals
against the Longhorns in last
Saturday’s match. Team coach
David Gruber, Greg Smith, Rod
Speer and Chris Listras also lit the
scoreboard for A&M. Midfielder
Bill Dickup set up two of the scores
with assists.
Team manager Tony Arthur said
the team ‘looked good for this time
of the year. ” This is only the second
start for the Ags. However, Arthur
added, “there is always room for
improvement. ”
Pat McCurry, one of three team
goalies, said “The ball gets going
pretty fast and it’s not soft. Some
times I won’t even see it. You have
to use yourself as a human target.’
McCurry, who had four saves
against Texas, wears a minimum of
padding to allow him to move more
freely.

Like all club sports, lacrosse is
funded by receipts from the Univer
sity Exchange Store. The money
covers road trips and pays for
equipment.
The Aggies compete in the Texas
Lacrosse League along with clubs in
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and
Austin. They have separate

Fans react favorably
to Houston s streak
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston
Oilers, who have drilled so many
dry holes in recent National Foot
ball League seasons, finally hit a
gusher and it still was blowing full
steam Monday in the midst of the
biggest strike since the East Texas
Spindletop discovery.
The oil industry’s first and most
glamorized gusher occurred 80
miles east of here near Beaumont,
Tex. but the Oilers four-game win
ning streak, their first since 1962, is
creating almost as much excite
ment.

Jeers turned to cheers Sunday as
the largest Oiler home crowd of the
season, 44,950, witnessed
Houston’s 20-3 victory over Cincin
nati. The crowd gave standing ova
tions to everything from the delayed
kickoff to the two-minute warning.
The delirious, victory-hungry
fans even gave the Oiler offense a
standing ovation in the fourth quar
ter when it failed on a third-down
play.
The gaiety continued Monday
when Coach Sid Gillman hosted his
weekly news conference by having
ham and eggs served to newsmen

“I’d rather have one Sid Gillman

cinnati player, said.

instead of the usual donuts and cof
fee.
“Winning does make a differ
ence, let’s enjoy it while we can,
Gillman beamed. “I’m getting a lot
of enjoyment out of this team, not
just because we re winning either,
but because of their complete wil
lingness to do the things necessary
to win.
“You have to get people around
you that have the same ideas that
you do.”
Houston’s victory evened its re
cord at 5-5, the same as the Dallas
Cowboys, who will meet the Oilers
Sunday in the Astrodome. A stand
ing room only crowd of 50,000-plus
is forecast.
Oiler players and fans, openly
hostile to Gillman during the NFL
players strike and a five-game losing
streak earlier this season, now are
singing his praises.

late Oiler game film.
v That’s all in the past,” Gillman
said. “He made some remarks that
were uncalled for. It was something
we didn’t do. But that’s all right. But
it’s nice to beat the great one’

Brady Bunch oils down
SUpsides to gain crown
Led by the all-around play of
Ronnie Loomis and aided by a
bumbling opposing offense, the
Brady Bunch beat the Slipsides 14-6
for the Co-Rec Intramural Football
Championship.
Loomis threw one touchdown
pass, caught another, and provided
excellent pass coverage for the
Brady defense. He shared quarter
hacking duties with Willy Robson,
who must have scrambled for over
200 yards in his own backfield.
The Brady Bunch benefited from
two first half Slipside miscues.

First, SS’s Fred Sasser caught a
punt on his ten yard line, hack-
pedaled to the endzone and threw
an incomplete pass to give the
Bunch a safety. Then Slipside s Alan
Bryant intercepted a pass at Brady’s
30 and was headed for an easy
touchdown hut one of his Hags fell
ofi.
Sasser atoned for his mistake by
intercepting a Brady pass, one of
five Slipside interceptions and re
turning it 25 yards for a touchdown.
The extra points failed and the score
stixid 6-2.
The rest of the contest was domi
nated by the Brady Bunch. QB
Willy Robson completed a 45 yard
pass to Gary Hill to set up an 18 yard
TD bullet from Loomis to sure
handed Linda Fletcher. The extra
points failed, making it 8-6.
A 35 yard pass from Willy Tobson
to Ronnie Loomis set up Brady’s
final score. Loomis hit Robson for 38
yards and a 14-6 final score.
