Wanda Bender, women’s basket ball coach, will open her first spring training program at Texas A&M on Monday, April 3. "This might be new to the girls here at A&M, but it won’t be new to me, Bender said. She sees certain advantages to holding workouts in the spring as well as in the fall. “In the spring we can work on in dividual weaknesses without having to worry about preparing for a game,” the Aggie coach said. "In this process, we can look at last sea son’s statistics, find out where each girl is weak and work in this area for the four weeks of spring training. Then, I would expect them to work over the summer and come back in the fall ready to play basketball.” Bender has a list of general weak nesses that she saw in her team last season. She hopes that work in these areas will improve the team’s 19-18 record that the team posted in Bender’s premier season with the Aggies.

"We set a goal for ourselves last fall. It was a goal that was well within our reach. We wanted to achieve a berth in the regional tour nament. We lost out on our goal by two points. We allowed Lamar to beat us in the zone tournament 58-56, and more than anything, these three problems were respon sible. “In the last few seconds of that game, if our man-to-man defense would have been as good as it should have been, would have fulfil led our goal. We missed some fast break situations also in that game. And our shooting percentage needs to improve. We got the shots in the game against Lamar, we just couldn’t hit them. "This is not going to happen to us next year,” Bender said. “We ended up tied for seventh place in the state of Texas, out of 38 large colleges. That isn’t bad, but it’s not where I’d like to be.

It was a bad opening di United Press International HOUSTON — If Linda Williams was not so confident, she probably would rather have a courtroom re match with the University In terscholastic League than to stand judgment again before the 12 male teammates on her high school baseball team. Returned to the baseball diamond earlier this week by federal court order and against the rules of the UIL, Williams, 18, Wednesday be came the first Texas girl to challenge the governing body of high school sports and play in a hoys baseball game. With one day of prac tice behind her. Coach Lugene Jones sent Williams to right field in front of a more experienced boy, and she failed. Williams committed a four-run error on her only tough fielding play. She went hitless in two official at-bats and she sagged dejectedly on the bench after her team was beaten 7-0.
