continues sweeping her way toward
the National Open Handball
Championships in June with one
victory after another.

3819 E. 29th (TOWN & COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER)
California in Irvine in March, Oak
leaf has captured five tournament ti
tles this year.
This was the first year women have
competed at the National Intercolle
giate Championships. Oakleaf is also
the Southwest Divisional Champion
and a two-time state champion.
“Her technique is the best of any
girls I have ever seen,” said head
handball coach Lance Lowy about
Oakleafs game.
No less impressive is the fact that
Oakleaf is the first person from Texas
A&M ever to take a national cham
pionship since Ozzie Burke took the
National Intercollegiate Doubles
Championship in 1969.
The San Antonio City Tournament
this weekend will be the next stop for
Oakleaf. She is currently the defend
ing champion at the tournament.
Oakleaf isn’t the only talented
player on the Aggie handball team as
witnessed by the fact that teammates
Gloria Motel and Jill MacAluso, at
the national tournament, finished
third and won consolation.
Both Oakleaf and Motel will go to
the National Open Championship in
Tucson, Ariz., in June. The tourna
ment will draw the top players in the
nation.
Lowy feels “that with the universi
ty talent, and interest, A&M has to
be considered to have one of the top
five handball programs in the
country.”
Lake Forest College in Chicago is
the perennial national power, closely
followed by the University of Texas.
Lake Forest is the only college that
awards handball scholarships.
“We’re building right now,” Lowy
said. “We should be at the level of
UT in one to two years.”
Due to the demand for court
space, the Aggie handball squad
does not get to practice as often as it
wishes.
“The situation is such that with the
amount of people wanting to play,
and with the number of courts avail
able, things could be better,” said
Lowy.
Fourteen new handball courts are
scheduled to be added in the new
addition of G. Rollie White Col-
esium. Coupled with the 14 existing
courts at DeWare Fieldhouse, there
should be enough court space to alle
viate the current over-crowded con
ditions.

Jon Matlack threw a five-hitter
Tuesday night, running his scoreless
inning streak to 18, in pacing the
Texas Rangers to a 3-0 victory over
the Cleveland Indians.
It was the first victory since last
June 26 for the left-hander, who had
his 1979 season all but wiped out by
Wayne cares. So do we.
That’s what makes the difference.

elbow surgery. Texas scored its first
run in the second with Buddy Bell
lining a double down the rightfield
line, moving to third on a groundnut
by John Ellis and coming in on a
sacrifice fly by Billy Sample. Singles
by Ellis, Sample and Jim Sundberg
accounted for another Rangers’ run
in the fourth and Bump Wills singled
in Sundberg from second with the
Rangers’ final tally in the seventh.
In Houston, Joe Niekro tossed a
six-hitter and Jeff Leonard singled
twice and scored two runs in the first
three innings Tuesday night to lead
the Houston Astros to a 6-2 victory
over the winless Atlanta Braves.
Niekro, 1-0 and a 21-game winner
last year, struck out six and walked
none in pitching his first complete
game of the season.
