Texas A&M’s women’s basketball
team will play its first regular game
of the season tonight against the Uni
versity of Texas at Arlington in
Arlington.
Even though its the beginning of
the 1979-80 season, the Aggie Ladies
already have had their share of in
juries. Von Bunn, a senior from Vic
toria, is out for the season with arm
and elbow trouble and it is uncertain
whether she will be able to play out
her fourth year of eligibility next
year.
Tammy Grafton, a 6-foot junior
forward from Iowa, broke her hand
in practice and will be out for a
month. Pat Werner, a 6-foot senior
from Angleton who plays post, is
coming off foot surgery and it will be
a while before she can play at full
strength.
It looks like a dismal picture at first
glance, but A&M coach Cherri Rapp
says her team’s stiong point is depth
- something the Aggies will need to
stay ahead this season.
Rapp is entering her first year as
A&M’s head coach, replacing Wan
da Bender who resigned in March.
Rapp coached at North Texas State
for three years, and earned All-
America honors three times as an
undergraduate at Wayland Baptist
University. She was an alternate on
the U.S. Olympic team in Montreal
in 1976.
Rapp purposely chose a hard sche
dule for her team this season, which
includes games with such national
powers as Louisiana Tech, Texas,
Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana State
University and Wayland Baptist.
“I think we can learn a lot from
playing strong teams,” she said.
Rapp said that A&M’s region of
Texas and Louisiana is probably the
strongest in the country. Last year’s
regional winner, Louisiana Tech,
went on to finish second in the na
tion, and all of Tech’s players are
returning this season.
She said the key to the Aggie
Ladies’ success this year depends on
ball handling.
“We need to improve our ball
handling, ” she said. “I think that will
determine how good a team we turn
out to be.”
Anchoring A&M at post this year
will be 5-foot-10 senior Peggy Pope
from Carthage, last year’s leading
scorer.
“Peggy plays taller than she is,’’
Rapp said. “She has a real high ver
tical jump, is a good rebounder and
scores well under the basket. She
plays like she’s 6-2.”
Also lending strength to the inside
will be sisters Lori and Cathy Fore
man from Guymon, Okla. Cathy is a
6-foot-l freshman, and 6-foot-2 Lori
came with Rapp from North Texas
State.
Lori is extremely quick for her
height and a good defensive player,
Rapp said. Cathy, who hasn’t played
much offense having played guard in
high school, has been working on her
shooting.
Pat Werner will also add depth to
the inside when she’s healthy to
play.
Playing forward for A&M will be
Tammy Grafton, Trigg Crawford,
Susan Kimbro, Lori Pye and Cathy
Fuller. Crawford, a 6-foot junior
from College Station, shoots well off
the fast break and will also help
A&M in rebounding.
Kimbro is a 5-foot-10 senior from
Kyle who “thinks when she plays,”
Rapp said. Fuller, a senior from
Weslaco, was A&M’s best percen
tage shooter last year.
Seeing action at point guard will
be seniors Lola Baker and Lisa
Hughes, sophomore Kelley Sullivan
and freshman Lisa Key. Baker and
Hughes are both good outside shoo
ters, Rapp said. Sullivan has im
proved on defense and is expected to
see a lot of playing time, she said.

IRVING, Texas — With time run
ning out in the first half at Texas
Stadium Monday night, the Phi
ladelphia Eagles faced a third down,
needing 10 yards for a first, on the
Dallas Cowboys’ 42.
A pass by Ron Jaworski fell incom
plete and the Eagles also were called
for illegal motion.
Dallas coach Tom Landry ordered
his team to turn down the penalty,
bringing up fourth down at the 42.
Seeing that, rookie place kicker
Tony Franklin — holder of 18 NCAA
records — dashed up to coach Dick
Vermeil and said:
“Let me try it.”
So Vermeil, with his team already
in front by seven points, gave Frank
lin a shot at making a field goal of 59
yards.
“I just didn’t think he could kick it
that far,” Landry said. “That’s why
we turned down the penalty. When
he kicked it, it seemed to take some
thing out of us.”
Franklin’s boot, which just
cleared the crossbar, was the second
longest in NFL history — the
longest being Tom Dempsey’s 63-
yarder for New Orleans nine years
ago.
“I would have traded the one I
made for two I missed,” said Frank
lin, who actually missed four others
Monday night. “It was a poor exhibi
tion on my part.
“On the long one I decided I
wasn’t going to try to finesse the ball.
I decided I would just kick it as hard
as I could. When the ball was getting
closer to the goal I started watching
the official and when his arms went
up I got excited.”
Franklin, a third-round draft pick
from Texas A&M, is the only kicker
in NCAA history to kick two field
goals of 60 yards or more in the same
game. He booted field goals of 64
and 65 yards against Baylor in his
junior year.

LONDON — The International
Amateur Athletic Federation has
given British track and field author
ities a deadline of Dec. 1 to produce
a report about a 1978 meeting in
Gateshead, England, at which more
than a dozen athletes including
world record-holders Edwin Moses
and Sebastian Coe are alleged to
have been paid.
“The IAAF has made it known that
they want these matters cleared up
quickly and not dragged on into next
year,” IAAF Secretary General John
Holt said.
The allegations, printed in full by
a British newspaper Sunday, come
from a member of the Gateshead
council, who said the council
accounts showed the athletes re
ceived money totaling almost
$20,000, which could not be justified
as expenses.
If the charges the athletes were
paid appearance money are proved,
the IAAF and International Olympic
Committee could disqualify them for
breaching amateur regulations.
According to British newspapers,
among the athletes affected are
world-record hurdler Moses and tri
ple world-record holder Coe. The
newspapers said Moses received
$1,700 and Coe $430.
Thanks bo you. ib works.
For all or us.
