Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1978 Volleyball team tours California and Utah Just how good is this year’s Texas A&M volleyball team? The team will have its answer after a 10-day trip to California and Utah where it will face nationally ranked competition, including de fending national champion Univer sity of Southern California. The Aggies will get a shot at USC today when San Diego State Uni versity hosts a 20-team tournament. Under the direction of Coach Dave Schakel, a professional vol leyball player, the Aggies go into the tournament with a 7-2 season record. Both Aggie losses came at the hands of defending state champ ion University of Texas at Arlington last weekend. In last week’s tournament play, Vicki Marshall led the Aggies with 11 kills (unreturned spikes), fol lowed by Dianne Douglas and Wendy Wilson with eight each. Wilson also led the Aggies on ser vice reception. Douglas and team mate Donna Branch played out standing on defense. Marshall, Wilson, Douglas and Branch, along with Kirsten Bloom and Nancy Dunn make up the start ing Aggie lineup. Other prospective starters for the 10-day excursion are Lisa Duncan, Pam Hill and Mary Raschke. Crystal Cobb, Pam Miller and Krista Sodich complete the Aggie squad. In San Diego, the Aggies face Fresno State and Oral Roberts be fore meeting USC and Arizona State. The quarterfinals will be played tonight with the semi-finals and the finals to be played Saturday. From San Diego, the Aggies will fly to Logan, Utah where they will challenge fourth ranked Utah State in a dual match. Tournament play will continue on Sept. 28 when Texas A&M travels to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where the Aggies will be seeded fourth in a 20-team field. The Aggies will fac^e Colorado State University, Northern Col orado, Wever State College, Uni versity of California and Portland State University before playoff ac tion begins. "The trip will provide the needed experience for the team,” Schakel said, "and let us know what we ll have to do to prepare for nationals. ” Schakel, in his debut at Texas A&M last season, led the team to a 46-20 season record. The team was prepared for state, regional and na tional competition, losing only four of its last 23 matches. The Aggies finished thirc) in both state and reg ional play. During the summer, Schakel played for the San Diego Breakers. He has played on the professional level since the volleyball league started in 1975.

T think this will be the best of fensive team we’ve played,” he said. "Their quarterback (Mike Ford) is a fine passer and they have good wideouts. They have the best kick return game we’ll probably see all season. They’re a very explosive team.” United Press International HOUSTON — Dapper Dan Klos- terman, the general manager of the Los Angeles Rams, hates to see a star football player get away almost as much as he hates to miss a sale on fine clothing. Thus, Klosterman was upset late this spring when he failed to obtain the premier rookie running back of this season thinking he had the deal worked out, a published report in dicates. Klosterman told a Houston Post sportswriter this week he thought he had sealed an agreement with Tampa Bay Coach John McKay to obtain draft rights for Earl Campbell, the Heisman Trophy winning tailback from the Univer sity of Texas. “I thought from the start that I had the inside track,” Klosterman said. “I felt like we had more to give than anyone else and I’d been close to John for years. We talked for hours about this deal — it was a re newal of a friendship we’d enjoyed for a long time.” McKay, before going to Tampa Bay, was a long-time head coach at USC. The Houston Oilers, to Kloster man’s surprise, traded Tampa Bay tight end Jimmy Giles and four draft choices for the No. 1 choice two weeks before the May draft. They chose Campbell in that spot. “I’ll be honest. I was very, very disappointed. I don’t know. Maybe I made the mistake of over- confidence,’’ Klosterman said. His disappointment was brought to light this week because Kloster man s Rams, who are short on qual ity running backs, travel to the As trodome for a Sunday game against the Oilers. Campbell to drive his sports car and then took him by the home of Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom this spring. “Earl saw a cassette there that a local deejay had made up for me. He asked if he could borrow it. He said that, since we’d be signing him, he’d give it back when he returned to Los Angeles, said Klosterman. “He hasn’t been back yet so remind him he owes me a cassette.” The Mustangs, 7-15 in Meyer’s first two years as coach, have looked very impressive thus far in a shock ing 35-25 win over Florida last week and a 45-14 opening game victory over Texas Christian, Penn State’s opponent next week. Ford, a sophomore, is 29-of-48 for 490 yards. His favorite target, All- America candidate Emanuel Tol bert, has caught nine passes and is averaging 27 yards a catch. Another threat for the Mustangs is senior D.K.

The game is a homecoming of sorts for Klosterman. He was gen eral manager for Adams from 1966- 70. “Bud and I parted on good terms,” he said. “He gave me the opportunity to be a general manager and I’m greatful to him. I have good feelings about Houston. I thought we had the greatest fans in the world. I’m from Los Angeles, but I consider Houston my second home.” Klosterman disclosed he allowed OPEN 11 A.M.
