Add a six- pounder to the sixth |lace weight, and you have a differ- mt story. But the lunkers were just lot to he had during this tourna- nent. The next Aggie Bass Club tour- lament will be held before the next lub meeting, so we ll announce it lere. It will be called a “road run ner” tournament. That’s a new one ome, but it sounds like a lot of fun. it amounts to is that after a check-in here in town, contestants are allowed to fish any Texas public waters for two days. Then all contes- antswill meet again for the weigh-in 18 hours later. The dates for this “road runner” are Oct. 2 and 3, weekend of the llinois game (out of town). The check-in time and place will he 5:30 o6:30p.m. at Fed Mart shopping center, Friday, Oct. 1. Contestants mil then split for the lake or river of their choice anywhere in the state.

Weigh-in will be Sunday, Oct. 3 from 5:30 to 6:30, again at Fed Mart. A 10-bass limit will be weighed for each contestant, and trophies will be awarded. There will also be another lunker jackpot for those who want to enter. Entry fee for the contest is $4 per member. This tournament should be in teresting, and anyone who likes to bass fish is invited to enter. Aggie Bass Club dues can be paid at the tournament, and any student or fac ulty or staff member can join the club. Although the Lake Livingston tournament was the first of this school year, the tournament trail ac tually started last May and will run through next April. Point totals are kept for each member throughout the year and at the end of the tournaments, the first six places are awarded special trophies. Points are given on the basis of one point for each ounce of fish weighed in during the tourna ments. At this point, a new fisherman could break into the top six with one good catch. First place is being held down with 28 lbs., 7 oz., while sixth place is 17 lbs., 13 oz. With cooler weather on the way, the bass fishing is going to improve immensely. There are still seven tournaments left, with approxi mately one a month through April. A lot of big fish are likely to be weighed in between now and then, so if bas- sin’ is your thing, try a tournament and really test you ability. Although most tournament fishermen own boats, there is no re quirement of boat ownership for joining the club. Tournaments are usually fished with two members in each boat. Although there might be some exceptions, a non-boat owner can usually find a partner to fish with in just about any tournament.

[NG one one mgs< ■ig s - l6 at and juet sxas jse- akd is a ter, and . an be at = to fits By CAROLYN BLOSSER Members of the women’s intercol legiate volleyball team had high liopes last weekend when they traveled to Houston for their first competition of the season. Touted as one of A&M’s best teams ever, the Aggies were espe cially anxious to prove themselves. And that is exactly what they did. A&M began play Friday evening with scrimmages against Baylor and Wharton Jr. College. Against Baylor theAgs had little trouble, sweeping all three games 11-3, 11-3 and 11-4. They met with similar success against Wharton Jr. College, win ning 11-1, 11-7 and 11-8. The real test came Saturday morn ing when the Ags scrimmaged na tionally ranked University of Hous ton. The Aggies captured the first game 11-8, before dropping the next two 4-11 and 2-11 That afternoon A&M began com petition in official matches which counted in the standings. The Ags were in top form as they beat both Wharton Jr. College (15-8, 15-9) and Baylor (15-11, 15-11). For the big finale, A&M once again faced the University of Hous ton in a match that Coach Laura Kitzmiller describes as “fantastic.” FARKLEBERRY’S POOL & GAME PARLOR Hot Roasted Peanuts - Shuffleboard HAPPY HOURS MON.-FRI. 3-6 p.m. Open 12-12 Mon.-Fri., 5-1 Sat., 2-12 Sun. , Across From A&M on Northgate We’d like to take you for a ride Hey, Mr. suave and sophisticated . . try this on lor size.

Bellard opens offensive attack U. of H., one of the top teams in the nation, barely squeezed by A&M in the first game 16-14. The Ags came back strong to capture the second game 15-11, before U. of H. won the last game 15-11, thus securing the match. Coach Kitzmiller was extremely pleased with her team’s perform ance, saying “it really set us off on the right foot.” “We know we can beat them (U. of H.),” she said. “We’ve got the mate rial and the teamwork this year.” The Aggies will travel to Beau mont next Tuesday, September 21 for matches against Lamar and Rice University. The Ags are especially anxious to test their skills against Lamar Uni versity, since it was Lamar who won the State Championship last year. Battalion Want Call 845-2611 By PAUL ARNETT Battalion Sports Editor It is on to Kansas State, but first this important flashback of last Saturday’s game. The press box was filled with typewriters banging out the play by play, the announcer’s voice cracked loudly over the inter com, T.V. sets illuminated the Baylor-Houston game, when sud denly David Shipman dropped back to pass and was thrown for a six yard loss. That in itself was insignificant, but as the afternoon wore on fans at Kyle Field saw Shipman and David Walker connect on 11 passes out of 17 attempts for 186 yards. It was a historic occasion at A&M, and one that may mark the beginning of a new offensive attack for the Aggies. So much for memories. The ques tion really is, will it work against Kansas State? The Aggies did throw well against Tech, but can they re peat this performance against a team who knows that the Aggies can throw? The element of surprise is gone, but Shipman’s and Walker’s abilities should help overcome this obstacle. Each quarterback is an excellent pocket passer, with Walker going one step further by being able to throw on the run. Kansas State does not have a strong defense. They have an adequate secondary and a weak front line. With these two items working in the offense’s favor, Shipman and Walker should have a lot of time to pick out the receiver each wants. Last year A&M had trouble mov ing the ball against the Wildcats. The wind was blowing over 30 miles per hour, and caused havoc to the ball everytime it was thrown. The Ags won the game 10-0, but found their ofiense to be an ineffective weapon. This year should prove to be a dif ferent game. The Aggies opened up their running-game last week by fill ing the air with 17 passes. Woodard had more running room up the mid dle, and the outside game became easier to run. With the defensive backfield respecting the pass, the Wishbone becomes that much more of a potent offensive attack. This week the fans should see bas ically the same game plan used against Virginia Tech. The Aggies will stay on the ground, passing only when Bellard feels it is merited. The starting backfield will be George Woodard, Darrell Smith, and Adjer Armstrong. Curtis Dickey and David Brothers should see sec ond half action, with Walker replac ing Shipman when Dickey and Brothers enter the game. There were no major injuries at Saturday’s game. Keith Baker can start light workouts in three days, and should be ready to play in about three weeks. Associated Press AUSTIN, Tex. — Southwest Con ference minutes are public records when held by the SWC faculty rep resentative of a Texas state- supported university — but with important exceptions, Atty. Gen. John Hill ruled Tuesday. The exceptions are references to students and private reprimands given coaches and other employes of non-public universities. Private reprimands of employes of tax-supported schools apparently will remain a gray area until some body requests an opinion on whether they must be disclosed under the Texas Open Records Act. Hill’s opinion went to University of Texas President Lorene Rogers. She requested it after The As sociated Press sought minutes in the possession of UT-Austin’s SWC rep resentative, Dr. J. Neils Thompson. “I would say that the opinion doesn’t bother me,” Thompson said. He said it would be some time before he is able to grant the AP’s request for access because he needs to consult with UT’s lawyer and the conference. “It means we ll have to reorganize and rewrite our minutes. That means that minutes of the past will have to be edited. . . The confer ence may also be faced with two sets of minutes,” Thompson said. Hill’s opinion said, “If the infor mation requested was obtained by the university’s representative to the conference in his official capacity as representative, we believe that he holds it on behalf of the university and that it is public information within the scope of. . .the act.” Minutes sought included those of a meeting at which two Texas A&M freshmen basketball players, Karl Godine and Jarvis Williams, were disciplined. Hill said references to students in SWC minutes constituted “educa tion records,” exempt from disclo sure under both state and federal law. He further noted that minutes of the May 22 meeting recorded disci plinary action, never made public, against a person employed by a pri vate university and one who was not officially connected with any school. The attorney general relied on a recent Texas Supreme Court deci sion that opened records of work men’s compensation claims but said district judges must cull from them intimate facts that might embarras individual workers. The court used as examples of intimate and em- barassing facts such things as il legitimate births, on-the-job rapes and mutilated sex organs. “We believe an individual who had been officially, albeit privately, censured or reprimanded would find that fact highly embarrassing and would reasonably object to publica tion of the information,” Hill said. The Southwest Conference has often been secretive about its inter nal affairs, and Hill’s opinion means minutes concerning such things as its finances must be disclosed.
