Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1980 SCRUB SUITS Soccer squad to play Raiders X NOW Available! M s & R MEDICAL SALES & RENTALS 1403 Memorial, Bryan A 822-7718 By RICHARD OLIVER Sports Editor The Texas A&M University men’s soccer team sets out on a tough jour ney Saturday. It’s a journey toward respectability. But Head Coach Telmo Franco thinks its a trip worth taking. No body, however, said it would be easy. “We have to win the rest of our games to come in second,” he said Thursday night. “We (A&M) have never finished that high. ” The reason A&M cannot finish even higher is the SMU Mustangs, who bowled over the Aggies last Saturday, 4-0. Now, A&M must take on a tough Texas Tech team Saturday < Good Times Halloween! WANTED Aggies who enjoy serving God to do so in the Cornerstone Free Will Baptist call 846-3811 for info & transportation. at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Penberthy Intramural Complex. “Definitely we have a good chance,” said Franco firmly. “The information I get is that they (Red Raiders) are equal with Baylor, Texas and us. With our experience and de sire, we should win. I hope we can win, anyway.” Franco, a coach who once starred as a player in Peru, took over the Aggie reins in August, and although his team’s 5-3-2 record is not out standing, the improvements are noticeable. Against Baylor earlier this season, the Aggies pulled off a major upset in College Station by winning, 3-2. But since that victory, the Aggies have been somewhat sluggish at times, a tendency Franco writes off to a lack of team cohesiveness. This is due, he says, to the fact several members are new. Over the Thanksgiving vacation, the Aggies will be on the road, traveling to Monterrey, Mexico for an international tournament. — fexas A&M [ansas at.

The first two-day Aggiecross ever will feature 130 cars from around the state racing the clock to win trophies and awards and to determine some' of the fastest cars in the state. Preparations have been rushed as the sports car club has prepared the speedway, registered cars, made in spections and finalized plans for the event. Registration of cars has been closed, but anyone wishing to watch and work is welcome to call Jay Bittle at 693-6620 or Bill Labarge at 846-9086 to get a worker’s pass. “We need workers,' said club president Chuck Schmitt. “The Speedway will not allow us to have any spectators, so the only way to watch is to be a worker.” Aggiecross is a series of three runs around the speedway track against the clock. In previous years, speeds have gotten up to 180 mph. There are two cars on the track at the same time but at opposite sides 4 / R. ♦ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOHN M.
