page iz mt ba m alioim WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1979 the sports Picture I.D.’s for all By CAROLYN BLOSSER Battalion Sports Staff A new intramural policy which goes into effect Oct. 15 will require Texas A&M University faculty, staff, student spouses, and faculty or staff spouses to show a pictured recrea tion I.D. card before using intra mural facilities. J e Recreation I.D.’s can be pur chased for $1 each between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the Intramural Office Monday through Friday. They are valid for one year. The facilities and services in cluded under the new policy are the handball/racquetball courts in De- Ware Fieldhouse, G. Rollie White Coliseum, the tennis courts, all sports equipment and all intramural activities. Under the new policy students are still required to present a cur rent student I.D.. Guest passes are $1 per day and must be purchased by the sponsor in the Intramural Of fice or the DeWare check-out room. Texas A&M alumni may use facilities by purchasing a pass for $1 per day. Alumni must show proof of graduation (Aggie ring, diploma, etc.), accompanied by a driver’s li- sence. A pictured I.D. and the rec reation pass must be shown when entering the facility. Individuals who are not affiliated with Texas A&M but who are mem bers of recognized clubs and student organizations must purchase a rec reation I.D. card for $6 per semes ter. They have access to the in tramural facilities only when their club is scheduled. The recreation I.D.’s and passes should help lessen the overcrowded facilties, says Dennis Corrington, director of the Intramural Office. “The intramural facilities are here for the use of people related to the University,” he said. “We have a problem in keeping the right people in and the wrong people out. The only way to do it is with a pictured ID.” For more information on the new policy, call 845-7826 or go by the Intramural Office in DeWare Fiel dhouse. Drugs, alcohol kill player For the classiest cut in town United Press International DURANGO, Colo. — A 23- year-old football player died from the combined effects of alcohol, a pain killer and cocaine, La Plata County District Attorney Craig Westburg said Tuesday. Jim Schick, a running back on last year’s Fort Lewis College football team, died Sept. 23 after returning home from a party. Police said he died in his sleep. Schick was taking medication for a knee injury. “The tragic death of a fine young man should serve as notice to intelli gent persons that cocaine is not as harmless as some people believe,” Westburg said in releasing the coroner’s report on the death. Westburg said the coroner found the alcohol, pain killer and cocaine combined in Schick’s blood to form a lethal combination. , in that jsn’t fit i „ as the lagers V ie Mac ins anc the i [re auste Idily give ‘nind wit kver doe t doesn t or their iv'eaver 1 sixth A i [h the Or: Angels t it he lie rth peni impious! is winn that per itories co Battalion photo by Pitl)]| Almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, etc. Texas A&M punter David Appleby almost gets his punt blocked as an unidentified flying Tiger goes by.

By MARK PATTERSON Battalion Sports Staff Texas A&M head coach Tom Wil son opened his weekly press confer ence Tuesday saying, with tongue- in-cheek, he “didn’t want to talk about Kyle Field, fumbles or offsides calls.” The Kyle Field situation has been a sore spot for Wilson all season. The problems with the growing stadium are about to come to a head as the scheduled home opener against the University of Houston is just 10 days away and the stadium’s third decks are still nonexistent. A statement issued by the office of the president Tuesday annoymeed that 7,000 fewer seats will be availa ble for the Houston game due to construction setbacks, lowering the total number of seats for the game to 57,000. Although the stadium is shrinking, the Houston game is still scheduled to be played in Kyle next week. And just as the expansion comple tion date continues to roll farther away, the Aggies continue rolling the football away on offense. In four games this season, the Aggies have fumbled the football 18 times, losing 14. “Anything I say isn’t meant to be critical of our offense, ” Wilson said, “but I have to be fair. We re just having a hard time holding on to the football. “Our consistency on offense is being hurt by our fumbling. I feel our fumbles are being caused by the LAKEVIEW CLUB 3 Miles N. on Tabor Road Saturday Night: Johnny Bush & The Bandoleros From 9-1 p.m. STAMPEDE DANCE Every Thursday Night Lakeview is available for rental. $2.00 per person can 823-0660. All Brands, Cold Beer 55 Cents 8-12 lack of practice time our people have been able to get. Mike Mosley has been sick off and on and Curtis Dickey hasn’t had a whole lot of con tact practice this year. “And on the players’ behalf, some of those fumbles against Memphis State were just good contact fum bles.” One position that seems to be the Bermuda Triangle for the Aggies where players disappear as quickly as they are moved there, is the of fensive quick guard spot. Four players have shared time at the position this season and all four are out for this week’s game against Texas Tech. Paul Huge Ely v Kyle Colson, Flint Risien and last week’s starter, John Osborn, are injured and will not see action this week. Sophomore Bryan Dausin is moving into the danger zone against Tech. “We haven’t been able to build continuity in the line with new people in there every week,” Wil son said. “Our illegal procedure penalties are being caused by the lack of experience in the offensive linemen were having to play. We need to get people in there and keep them healthy.” Wilson admitted that the Aggies offensive production has disap pointed him so far this season. He said would like to see the team go to the air more often. “I don’t think we’ve thrown the ball enough,” Wilson said, to get more production outi passing game. “Mosley has hit on 58, his passes (on 41 attempt! we’ve called more than he Most of our passes are spi that give him the option pass he’s rim with the ball I’d like him to have.” One area that does have smiling is the play of the Aj fense. Wilson pointed out top five tacklers on the I within five total tackles other. Doug Carr leads the with 49 stops. Mike Little with 44. “Everyone is carrying and doing his share, ’ Wilson “All of the starters are | playing consistent foot! improving every time they si to the field.” Wilson had but one thing about the victory over State Saturday night. “It wasn’t an artistic gamCi was a win for us.
