Ferns have
bad outing
in volleyball
By MARY RUSSO
Staff Sports Writer
The A&M women’s volleyball
team couldn’t get it together this
weekend at the state meet.
The teamwork came and went
like tides but unfortunately the
tides were low more often than they
were high.
Take the instance of
A&M-Lamar. In the first game the
women couldn’t get the defense vol
ley going. As a result they lost, 15-5.
The tide came rushing in on the
second game though and they won
15-5, with Rita Kuntz serving six
points. Joanne Nichols served the
final four points. The final game was
a repeat of the first game with a
Lamar win of 51-11.
In play against Howard County
College, which provides scholar
ships for their women athletes,
A&M had another hard time. How
ard took the first and last games,
15-9 and 13-7.
The women, however played
another good game in the middle of
the series with Nichols leading a
strong drive, serving seven con
secutive points. Not to be outdone,
Christy Saver, who works as a set,
put over four points and Kuntz
served another six. The final score
on that match was 15-8.
In the final round, A&M lost to
the wild card team from Texas
Lutheran (TLC). It was the same old
story with A&M taking the middle
game and losing the first and third.
TLC won 12-10 (on time) and 15-13
while A&M won 15-8.
"They each have the individual
skill and knowledge but they just
didn’t get it together as a team last
weekend,” said Laura Kitzmiller,
A&M coach.
Kirkland’s efforts
get SWC honors
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) —
Mike Kirkland made a stretch run
reminiscent of Silky Sullivan.
He spotted Arkansas’s other two
quarterbacks spring training and a
month of fall practice.
Arkansas Coach Frank Broyles
calls Kirkland’s progress since mid
season “remarkable. ”
“He never quit working to im
prove,” Broyles said. “He had the
attitude that he was going to be the
starter before the year was out.”
He got his chance in the second
half Saturday against Southern
Methodist University. Faced with a
17-0 halftime deficit and a steady
rain, Broyles turned to Kirkland.
Kirkland responded with a
91-yard run that set up one touch
down, threw a 67-yard scoring pass
to Freddie Douglas and scored Ar
kansas’ final touchdown on fourth
and goal from the one as the Razor-
backs rallied for a 24-24 tie with the
Mustangs.
For his performance, Kirkland
was named The Associated Press Of
fensive Player of the Week in the
Southwest Conference.
In the second half, Kirkland car
ried 21 times for 140 yards and com
pleted four of eight passes for 82
yards.
“That performance in just one
half under such adversity equals
anything I’ve seen in my 28 years of
football,” Broyles said. “I’ve seen a
starter have a bad first half and a
great second half. But he was trail
ing 17-0, started with second and 13
on his own three and we had a
chance to win the ball game. ”
Kirkland was strictly a kicker his
freshman year. Scott Bull was
scheduled to be the starting quar
terback last fall, but hurt his knee in
August. Mark Miller was still recov
ering from knee surgery and Kirk
land was the only choice. The
Razorbacks went 5-5-1.
Miller and Bull continued to al
ternate this season, until Miller won
the No. 1 job at midseason. By then,
Kirkland was beginning to improve
rapidly.
“Three or four weeks ago, we
talked about playing him at least half
the time or maybe even as a starter
but Mark was doing good and de
served to play,” Broyles said.
Broyles said repetition was the
reason for Kirkland’s improvement.
“When you have to make a deci
sion in one step and then make
another decision two steps later,
that takes repetition,” Broyles said,
talking about the mechanics of the
option.
Before Saturday Miller had run or
passed 121 plays; Bull 74 times and
Kirkland 40. Kirkland hopes to add
to his total Saturday against Texas
Tech, but Broyles refused to say
that Kirkland would be the starter.
