He says that he is presently analyzing last year’s films in order to find all weak nesses which may possibly occur this year. He says that the use of films has been, “the greatest jtivator there is. They don’t lie. The first time I saw them was my jupior year at Missouri. Coaching vis so much better it amazes me. hard to run something the de- se isn’t ready for. We played ms last year that used as many as e different defenses. “I still attend all the practices (in the stands),” Moser says. He also appraises the Southwest Confer ence race, “I don’t know why Texas shouldn’t be picked. They’ve got nearly everyone back. Ted Con- stanzo (the sophomore expected to succeed the graduated Marty Akins) probably was the state’s most highly recruited quarterback his senior year. I saw him play twice in high school. One game at Temple there were three coaches from the confer ence there to watch him. We thought then he was going to be great.” Moser says that he thinks there will be a five-team race for the championship. “Rice will have its best team in a long time. They have a senior ball club. People will be surprised at how well they do,” he said. He added that the five in con tention though, were Texas, Arkan sas, A&M, Baylor and Texas Tech. Dean Campbell is the other A&M coach who has been reassigned, but he will still be on the playing field. Campbell is now a part-time coach for the Aggies, which will allow him to perform duties with the other coaching staff and still meet the re quirements of the NCAA ruling. Campbell joined the Texas A&M staff in September, 1973, as a graduate assistant coach. He be came a fulltime staff member in 1975. “The ruling is not going to affect my coaching duties at all,’’ Campbell said, “but I will have to take a cut in salary.” Both Moser and Campbell said they feel as though the eight-coach rule will be changed next year. Coaches at two schools, Oklahoma and Alabama, have taken the NCAA ruling to court. Final decisions are pending. The office of intramural (IM) and recreational sports is offering 18 ac tivities for the fall semester. These sports (see list) and the athletic facilities provided for them, De- Ware Fieldhouse, G. Rollie White Coliseum, the swimming pool and the tennis courts, are available for recreational use by students, faculty and staff. The IM Office coordinates the operation of all athletic facilities on campus. Students can reserve courts by contacting the intramural office at 845-2624, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Equipment information can also be obtained at this number. The IM season opens with flag football registration. Last year, 3,552 people played on 222 teams and the competition began in Sep tember and ended in November. To play intramural sports, indi viduals must select a team manager to represent them. This manager at tends a monthly meeting for rules and details of upcoming events and handles all player registration. Player registration consists of the listing of the players’ names and A&M identification numbers. There are generally four events offered each month, with five during Oc tober and November. The IM Of fice splits intramural sports events into three categories, on-going, one-day and special. The on-going have a great number of participants and include all team sports, all dou bles and most singles events. The one-day events include activities such as field-goal kicking or cross country racing and special events involve events which are new and not presently on the IM calendar. The intramural competition di visions are corps, fish, dorm men, dorm women, independent men, independent women and co-rec. These are sub-divided into class A, persons who are highly-skilled and highly-competitive; class B, skilled and competitive and class C, those interested in the enjoyment of play ing. Class A competitors will vie for the All-University titles. All- University title-winners are awarded t-shirts, while class B and C winners are given certificates. For intramural and extramural in formation call 845-7826. Extramural athletics are also called sports clubs and provide a varsity athletic opportunity in sports which are not recognized by the ath letic department. These sports are funded partially by membership fees and student services fees. The sports receiving student services fees are archery, bowling, bicycle racing, cricket, fencing, gymnastics, hand ball, judo, karate, lacrosse, polo, racketball, rodeo, rugby, skeet-trap. soccer, water polo and weightlifting. Most of these clubs have national affiliations and have participated in national title competition. The bowling teams, both men and wo men, finished fifth nationally. The fencing team had six qualifiers, and rugby held the national collegiate title for three consecutive years. The weightlifting team lost the na tional championship last year by two points and the rodeo association sent members to the nationals this summer and the men’s team placed eighth. The archery team competed in the state event and had a few win ners. The cricket team, as does the water polo team, have difficulty locating competition. The teams do well though, when they do compete. Water polo has a 31-1 record. The handball team as well as the judo and karate teams have out standing members who attend meets under the sponsorship of their A&M clubs. The polo team traveled to the in tercollegiate finals last year and competed against the teams of the Ivy League. The team finished third. The skeet-trap team finished sec ond at state, as did the wrestling team. For further information, pam phlets about all athletic programs are available in the IM office, which is located on the east side of De- Ware Fieldhouse.
