It seemed like everyone at Texas A&M was involved in some
type of sporting activity this past weekend. Here is just a
small sample of some of the events that took place (clockwise
from upper left): Hanna Werner performs on the balance
beam in the A&M Invitational Gymnastics meet, in which the
Aggies finished second behind LSU; Trey Schutz returns a
serve as Texas A&M defeated St. Edwards University 9-0 at
Briarwood Country Club; a member of the hosting Texas
A&M volleyball club spikes on the San Antonio Lone Star
Club in the Saturday Valentine’s Day Tournament, in which
the Aggies finished second; Jim Howard sets a new Oklahoma
Track Classic record in the high jump as he clears 7-1 to place
first in the event in Norman, Ok.

Today, January 12 is the open
ing of entries for wrestling.
Entries close Tuesday, February
20. Turn in entries at the weigh-
ins which will be February 20 from
4:30-6:30 p m. in the men’s locker
room of G. Rollie White Col
iseum. All teams must weigh-in as
a group. The tournament will be
single elimination within weight
classes.
Upper limits for weight classes

126, 134, 142, 150, 158, 167, 177,
191, pounds and unlimited. Any
one who has wrestled within the
last 2 years for TAMU is ineligible
for intramural competition. Any
one who has won his eight class, in
his division must wrestle in Class
Wrestling is lots of fun, as John Sweatt will tell you. During
this A&M Wrestling Club workout, he is applying a 180 degree
body twist while implanting Ed McAlamey’s face in the floor.
John should come by the I.M. office to pick up his “Be Our
Guest” card redeemable for free food at McDonalds.
Yes, ladies you are eligible to
compete in wrestling. The wrestl
ing club will be officiating at the .
tournament.
B Company “A” scrambled over
A Battalion #2 in the Corps AB
game. B Company started the
game off with a quick try at the
basket. After several attempts by
both teams, B Company’s
dunkman, #12 Rick Hoelscher
made a bucket. A Battalion fol
lowed with a dunk of its own by
#30 Charlie Fields.
Play continued to be mainly of
fensive by both teams as Rick
scored 4 more dunk shots for B
Company “A” and A Batt was
given a point on fouls. The score
held for quite a while as both
teams hustled the ball back and
forth across the court. B Com
pany’s #11 Daryl Fitzgerald
specialized in Harlem Globetrot
ter type feints, fakes, and antics.
As the game turned to defensive
play A Batt’s #28 Mike
McCartney scored.
Play quickened as B Company
“A ”s #14 Curtis Donaldson and
Daryl formed a twosome with
Daryl passing to Curtis who
dunked for 6 points. Rick got back
in action dunking for B Company
as A Batt’s #25 Scott Beach got
warmed-up on long shots for 6
points. With 2:53 left in the first
half the score stood 17-18 for B
Company.
The pace slowed down as ner
vousness set in with a great many
overshots and clumsy plays began
stalling the ball with ring-around-
the court passes as the score held
at 40-34. After a last edged under
the basket dunk by Rick, Daryl
stole the ball from A Batt for more
stalling tactics. The last points for
both teams were due to fouls.
Final score was a triumph for B
Company 43-36.
Other team members were #29
Jeffrey Fischer, and #26 Randy
Nelson for A Batt and #15 Jim
Curry, #16 Jeff Presnal, and #13
Johnny Burns for B Company “A”.
