The Aggie Ladies took three straight 20-minute halfs from the Rattlers from San Antonio by the scores of 50-36, 36-29 and 50-29. Coach Cherri Rapp saw a definite improvement in her club from Satur day’s scrimmage with Tyler. “Our defense played much better,” she said, “and our fastbreak allowed us to score a lot of easy baskets. ” The Aggies were in complete con trol of the first and third periods, but had to use a late scoring spree to secure the seven-point second period win. The Aggies were led by Sherry Winn, a transfer from Houston. “We didn’t keep a book, but she (Winn) had to be the leading scorer,” Rapp said. Winn handled the fastbreak offense extremely well, and scored quite a few baskets on layups off the break. Rapp was also pleased with the play of Kelly Krauskopf and duRae MSC CAMAC Presents El Teatro de la Esperanza’s “Elementary and Secondary Workshop in Creative Dramatics” (creative playwriting) MSC Rm. 137 Nov. 6, 1980 @ 6 p.m. Admission $ .50 (at door) FOR MORE INFO: CALL CAMAC AT 845-1515 Gill. “Gill played very well on the press and Krauskopf just played a good all-round game,” she said. But despite the victory, Rapp says the Aggies still have a long way to go. “We still need to work on our shoot ing, and we need to add a new offense to our system,” she said. Rapp said the Aggies are still look ing for a starting five. “We still ha ven’t come up with a top five, but we’re getting closer,” she said. The Aggies will have two more scrimmages to decide on a starting five before the season opens.

In fact, there were six engine blowouts, several spinouts and acci dents as well as one engine fire that was put out immediately as the car pulled off the track. “The racers were really pushing their cars hard so we kind of ex pected a few accidents,” said club president Chuck Schmitt. “The weather was perfect and the racing was fantastic,” said Jay Bittle, vice-president of the club and co event master. All racers had a good time and nobody left disappointed, he said. A total of 120 cars raced at the speedway Saturday and Sunday with the division winners getting trophies. The top time of the day received a bottle of champagne. The racers were divided into car classifications. The stock class in volves all kinds of cars in the original production condition. No modifica tions have been made to the cars and they are then broken down further into A-F classification that are based on the car size, weight and engine displacement. The prepared classification in volves cars that have been modified from the original condition. They still run on street tires but have had engine, suspension and structural changes to give the car more speed. Yet, the cars are still able to be run on the street. The final class is the modified group. These cars are true racing Make SOMEJM \ ^ mix cars and are not run on the street. The autocross was run on the road race course at the speedway since the club was not able to use the high bank turns.
