In the pre-season prospectus, the
Texas A&M University women’s
softball coach says, “We don’t wish
to be just good, we want to be the
best!”
Now most coaches — no matter
what sport — would have a hard time
living up to that line. But softball
coach Bill Galloway has no problem.
His team is currently ranked fourth
in the Association for Intercollegiate
I Athletics for Women softball poll
and realistically does have a chance
fill to be the best in the nation.
i/ll The team was ranked second last
jlweek on the AIAW poll, but the
dl for |k Ag 8‘ es dropped when they only won

future J Women ’ s University softball tourna-
ment last weekend.
We didn’t do as well as we had
hoped to,” Galloway said, but Texas
A&M has done well for the spring
seasop — so far the Aggies are 18-7
after finishing the fall with a 27-7
record.
And until the TWU tournament,
the pitching staff had posted six
straight shutouts, a school record.
“Our pitching staff is our main
[strength,” Galloway continued. “It’s
[one of the areas I wanted to remedy
hen I got here.”
Galloway came to Texas A&M two
years ago and immediately started
solid ki&Teeruiting top players — of the 14
mt Tal slfwonien on the team, only six are
■from the state and four of them are
ons williBrom the Houston area. Galloway

Playing in dismal weather, the
Texas A&M rugby team was unable
to capture the Mid-West Intercolle
giate Invitational Rugby Tourna
ment title, as the defending champs
finished third in the weekend meet.
When play began on the Universi
ty of Missouri campus in Rolla, the
Aggies looked tough, defeating
Southwestern Missouri State Uni
versity 16-15 and Luther College 9-
8.
But during the semifinal match
against the University of Missouri-
St. Louis, the Texas A&M squad
came up shorthanded, and was
edged out 8-6.
The Aggies came back against
Central Missouri State University,
gaining the third place trophy by a
score of 6-0 off a try by Buster Drues-
sen. Ross Morgan kicked the conver
sion.
Noted for their outstanding play
during the tournament were backs
Mike Frenzel and Bill Ballew, scrum
half Ross Morgan, and prope Bill
Taute.
Unfortunately for the team, first
side player Joe Bob Hunger chipped
a vertebra during a game and will be
out for at least six weeks.
The Texas A&M ruggers’ record
now stands at 6-3 for the season.
The team’s next match will be
April 12 at the Texas Rugby Union
Championships. Texas A&M is the
only college in the senior division of
the Union.
Matches in Austin April 19 and in
College Station April 26 against
Stephen F. Austin will round out the
season for the extramural club.

ERA is .020. He added freshman

O candidate.
^ The Aggies are now also getting
some good, consistent hitting to go
with the pitching. A ^ f
| “It’s not bad the last few games,”
Galloway said. “We’ve been hitting
real well. We re doing a much better
job than last fall.”
The team batting average is .215
which Galloway said doesn’t seem
that good, but he added, “We prob
ably are as strong as any team.”
Last year the Aggies finished 58-
20, and placed fifth in the national
post-season tournament. This year
the team faces stiff regional competi
tion from TWU, last year’s national
champions. But Galloway and his
Aggies — who host the Southwest
regionals this May — aren’t scared.
