Texas A&M women’s basketball
team will host St. Mary’s in full
scrimmage at 4 p.m. this afternoon
in DeWare Fieldhouse.
On Saturday, the Aggies scrim
maged Tyler Junior College and
came out on the short end of the
outside of practice.
“We played well for only about
eight minutes,” she said. One reason
the Aggies played sloppy was Rapp
substituted her players freely. “We
are in the process of hunting for a
combination of five players who can
play together,” she said.
On the whole, the Aggies shot
very poorly, connecting on only 20
percent of their second half shots.
“We had good shot selection, but
couldn’t hit them,” the second-year
coach said, “especially the follow
shot off a rebound. ”
So this week in practice, the
Aggies have been doing a lot of work
on shooting under the basket. Rapp
has also spent a great deal of time this
week on the press.
“We had breakdowns on the press
because it always seemed one girl
was out of place, which resulted in an
easy basket for Tyler,” she said.
Though the team didn’t play well,
Rapp singled out two individuals
who did. “Trigg Crawford had a real
good game and was the only one to
shoot very well,” she said.
Joyce Bottley, a freshman from Rapp said involves over-playing the
Kountze, played a very good defen- )a J, an “ double-teaming,
sive game, Rapp said. „ For toda y s , St Mar V s scrimmage,
Rapp says she hopes to see her young

DALLAS — Dallas coach Tom
pry said Monday that yes, the
wboys running game was defi-
mt, that, no, he wasn’t all that wor-
p about it, and yes, measures
P being taken to correct the situa-
lespite a 7-2 record, just a game
p of the streaking Philadelphia
is in the NFC East, Dallas’ run-
ijgame has taken a recent siesta.
In three of Dallas’ last five games
ICowbpys have gained less than
| yards on the ground — picking
st 58 against the St. Louis Car-
lals last Sunday.
“We knew we were going to have
ificulty with the Cardinals’ de-
ise,” Landry said. “After all they
I trapped the quarterback 12
p the week before.
“Still, it was not a good game, we
Hpize that from our line. We
re disappointed in our overall

II for us in the past and I’m sure
jy will play well for us in the fu-

DALLAS — Brian Taylor and
ichael Brooks helped San Diego
me back from an early deficit Tues-
y night and sent the Clippers roll-
l past the Dallas Mavericks, 116-
2.
Taylor scored 31 points and
ooks, the Clippers No. 1 draft
ikj had 24. Guard Phil Smith con-
buted 19 for San Diego.
Dallas led early in the second
tarter by four but a San Diego rush
it the Clippers in front at the half,
-55. San Diego moved in front by
many as 19 points in the third
tarter and Dallas could get no clos-
than four points in the fourth
arter.
Tom LaGarde, moved from center
forward by coach Dick Motta, led
i Mavericks with 23 points while
wcomer Bill Robinzine had 16.
ioff Huston and Jim Spanarkel had
each.
Tony Dorsett has gained a rela
tively modest 466 yards this season
and fullback Ron Springs, who took
over the starting fullback position
from Robert Newhouse, has been
slowed by an ankle injury and New
house is now starting again.
But when it comes to fixing the
blame, Landry said there were all
sorts of possibilities.
“You can place the blame any
where you want to,” said Landry.
“When you don’t run, you don’t run.
You can say you didn’t have a good
game plan, that you didn’t block very
well or that you didn’t run very well.
“When you gain 58 yards you have
to work at it, or not work at it. We can
do better in every area and we will do
it.”
The running attack is currently ab
out the only missing segment the
Cowboys need to become a top-flight
challenger for the Super Bowl, so it is
obvious that Landry will be spending
some time on the ground game.
“Our objective this week is to
work the running game hard, ” Land
ry said. “We have been concentrat
ing a lot in the passing area because
of the blitzing and stunting we have
seen the last few weeks from San
Diego and St. Louis.
“We probably neglected the run
ning game a little. Now we have to
get back to the running game. We
will review a lot of our plays and cut it
down some as far as selection of plays
and hopefully this will help.
“A lot of times through season,
when you look back in retrospect,
you continue to run a play that looks
sound to you but it never works on
the field. And it ends up with a low
average week in and week out. It
seems like a potentially good play, ^
butitdoesn’tjellintoagoodplay. So ^
we are going to try to do the things
we do best.”
