Ladies beat TJC;
prepare for holidays
By DAVID BOGGAN
Battalion Sports Editor
There is quite a difference be
tween the two early-season basket
ball contests matching Texas A&M’s
;ie Ladies and the Apaches of
rs pl ( ’ Tyler Junior College,
of ||. In the teams’ first meeting, in the
eniajf Ws the George West Tourna
ment on Dec. 2, Tyler’s Bonnie
Buchanan scored 25 points and
died down a game-leading 19 re-
unds. The Apaches’ starting five
ivere the only players to see action
or TJC. And the ladies from the
lose City wtdked away with the big
rophy, defeating the Aggies 71-54.
The story was somewhat different

I id Coliseum. Texas A&M’s Peggy Pope
m the game’s leading scorer with
!4 points. The tired Apaches had to
'oto their bench for help this time.
:e j n j Vnd the Aggies won an easier-than-
l|]j n J Jiescore-indicates game 68-63.
Texas A&M’s coach, Wanda
>nder, attributes the difference in
J he two games to her team’s de-
ense.
We ran the press the way it is
iupposed to be run tonight,” Bender
after the game. ‘‘We put the
ype of pressure on them that we
ranted to put on them in George
IVest. Tonight we were determined
lodo it and do it right.
“We ran a different defense to
night than we ran in George West.
Itscalled a box-in-one defense and it
sept one guard on Bonnie Buchanan
at all times. ”
The new defense must have
rorked because Buchanan was held
tol? points and grabbed only 12 re-
jounds.
The Aggies, who held a 17-point
lead midway through the final half,
allowed TJC to come back late in the
game.
“I don’t like to see that,” Bender
said. “We got ahead and relaxed and
I can’t stand that. If we’d had any
more time on the clock we wouldn’t
have had the lead.”
The win brought Texas A&M’s
season record to 11-2. The Aggies
now' begin a holiday tour that will
include stops at Colorado State Uni
versity, the University of Wyoming,
San Francisco State University,
Arizona State University and Uni
versity of Nevada-Las Vegas, where
the Ladies will play two games.
“Colorado State will not be any
stronger than Sam Houston was,
Bender said. “Basketball isn’t that
old in Colorado.” The Aggie coach
also indicated that Wyoming, San
Francisco State and Arizona State
should be relatively easy games.
UNLV, however, will be another
story, according to Bender.
“If we can stay on the floor with
them I’ll be happy,” she said. “They
average 96 points a game; their op
ponents average 68. Teams go out
there to get exposure; they know
they’re not going to win. Las Vegas
has lost only 11 games in three years
and they’ve never lost on their home
court. ”
With the odds in Las Vegas’ favor,
Bender has set a realistic goal for the
Aggies, who return to G. Rollie
White on Jan. 8 to host Baylor.
"I hope we win four out of six
games on this trip,” the Aggie coach
said.
Enthusiastic Owls
want circus to end

This is the eighth in a series of

HOUSTON — Mike Schuler

Schuler, who came to the SWC

it could have become.
In addition Schuler substituted so

“It was a circus,” said Texas coach

ayed Rice. Then, when Lemons

But now Schuler has a few more

“This team is much better today

1st two or three years,” said
duller. “We are playing better in
tactice than we did at any time last

“There is no question that our

ferenee. In two or three years we will
he able to compete for the top spot.
We don’t want to take a back seat to
anyone in this league.”
Youth, however, will cause
Schuler some problems for a while.
“Because we are so young we
might lose some games we could
have won otherwise, the Owls
coach said. “But our enthusiasm will
cause us to win some games we
might not otherwise.”
Elbert Darden, a 6-3 senior, and
Tony DeCello, a 5-10 sophomore,
will be the only experienced players
at Rice this year. And the most tal
ented of the newcomers will proba
bly he 6-10 Brett Burkholder of sub
urban Chicago.
“Last year there was not a better
big shooter in this league than Burk
holder will be this year,” Schuler
said. “He narrowed his choice of
schools down to Arkansas, Duke and
Rice and finally chose us.”
The other two freshmen starters
this year will be 6-7 Glen Rieke of
Santa Maria, Calif., and 6-5 Bobby
Tudor of Pineville, La.
In hopes of giving these young
sters some early success Schuler has
played a schedule that included
Texas Lutheran, Southwest Texas,
Wayland College and Doane College
of Nebraska.
So far, the Owls have won three
games and lost three games. Rice
will participate in the Bluebonnet
Classic in Houston beginning Fri
day.
THE BIBLE
A “GOOD” BOOK? INSPIRED WORD OF GOD???
MYTHS, FAIRY-TALES, ALLEGORIES?
The Bible is here; its presence none among us can deny. But that’s not really the issue. The issue is: Is the Bible it claims to be? Is the
Bible the inerrant, authoritative, inspired word of God? Does the Bible correctly tell men of their origin, their purpose, and their
destiny? Or, is the Bible nothing more than a grouping of some good, some bad ideas, stories, thoughts, guidelines, and instructions
from a group of some 40+ authors who were insidious, deceitful, no-goods — wanting to trick the world’s population into thinking
they had produced a work “straight from the mouth of God”?
Where did we get the Bible? How did it come into its present form? How do we know we have the correct books in the Bible? What
manuscript, textual evidence is there for the Bible — or is there any? If you’re a person who’s been wondering about the Bible; If
you're a person who would like to know more about the origin and history of the Bible; If you’re a person who has decided the Bible is
definitely not the inspired word of God; If you're a person who feels strongly the Bible is the inspired word of God; If you’re a person
who would simply like to look into the evidences surrounding the phenomenology of the Bible — then perhaps this is for you.
On January 17,1979 a new course on Christian Apologetics and Christian Evidences is being offered for people who are looking
for answers to questions about God's existence, Jesus’ Sonship, the Bible’s inspiration, Special Creation vs. Organic Evolution, and
many other such questions. This course, which is taught on the college level, meets each Wednesday evening from 6:00 until 8:00
P.M. It is not a course in church doctrine; rather, it is a course designed to investigate and examine the evidences which stand behind
the Christian faith. It is a course for anyone who would like to see these evidences presented in an objective manner.
The course meets each week of the regular TAMU semester (except holidays) at the building of the A&M church of Christ (across the
street from the A&M Consolidated High School Building) at 1001 West Loop South. The course lasts 15 weeks. There is no charge
whatsoever for the course. A textbook is provided free of charge to each participant, as well as a large volume of written handout
materials. There are no term papers required, or oral presentations. The class is conducted in the discussion/lecture format, with
ample time given for discussion.
The teachers are: Bert Thompson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Veterinary Public Health, College of Veterinary Medicine. TAMU,
and Ken Lawrence, sophomore Biomedical Science major. We invite you to join us as the course begins on January 17, 1979 at
6:00 P.M. Everyone is welcome! For further information feel free to call Dr. Thompson at 696-7513 after 5 or Mr. Lawrence at
845-3439
