Volleyball team loses to Ind
By MIKE BURRICHTER

After one game it looked like the
visiting Inde Rebels, winners of the
past two Mexican women’s volleyball
championships, would be upset by a
bunch of Texas A&M upstarts.
But experience, instinct and
overconfidence by the Aggies led to a
four-set victory for the visitors at G.
Rollie White Coliseum Thursday
night. The Ags won the first game,

According to Condon, Garcia is
somewhat of a legend in her home
land.
“She walks on water over there,”
Condon said, also mentioning it was
hard for her to sit on the sidelines
watching her nemesis tear up her
students, “I wanted to go out there
and play. We used to go out there
and exchange heated words.”
The heated words were obviously
past tense for the two, as Garcia and
Condon, who played on the US na
tional team for 12 years herself,
poked and jibed at each other at yes
terday’s luncheon at Cain Hall. The
Mexicans entered the match with an
even 3-3 slate, beating

Texas to pose biggest threat^ to Ags
Wrestlers host Jones Classic
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
After winning against Southwest
Texas State last Saturday in San Mar
cos to start off the fall season, the
Texas A&M Wrestling Club will
bring its act home this Saturday.
And what an act it is.
The Aggies field a team with more
depth than anytime in recent mem
ory, said Club President Bob Santini
Wednesday.
“It’s the first time in at least the
last four years, maybe more, that
both the varsity and junior varisity
teams are equal,” he said. “We have
real depth for the first time.”
This weekend, the team may find
out just how much depth it has, as it
hosts the first Luther Jones Classic
Saturday beginning at noon in the
DeWare Fieldhouse.lt will be the
one and only home match this fall.
The event is named after the
Aggies’ first wrestling coach, who in
itially arrived at A&M in 1919 to take
a job with the YMCA.
His job there enabled A&M to
start a wrestling program at the Uni
versity that spring with a seven-man
team. He was head coach in 1920-22.
It has now progressed to a full prog
ram with two teams, now searching
for varsity status due to the rising
popularity of the sport in Texas and
Oklahoma.
For example, A&M now fields
several state champions and poten
tial champs: Conway; a freshman
from New York state, was a cham
pion there, and defeated the No. 1-
seeded wrestler in Texas at the
SWTSU matches; senior Santini has
won the Texas state title for the last
three years, and is trying for a record
fourth this season; Templet, a senior,
was No. 10 in the state as a freshman,
and was state champ in 1978; sopho
mores Bob Merriman and Phil
Schauer were both fourth in Texas
last year in their respective classes;
and senior John Sweatt is a two-time
state champ.
Despite the abundance of power
on the team, Santini is still cautious
about the Aggies blowing their horn
too loud. The reason? Dwayne
Keller.
Keller, according to Santini, was a
two-time national champion, and
finished his collegiate career with a
65-1 record. He was also a three
time U.S. Wrestling Federation
Match Champion. He is now Head
Coach at the University of Texas,
who will be wandering’in this
weekend for the Jones Classic.

15-9, but this may have led to their
undoing, whether it was because of
overconfidence on the hosts’ part, or
whether it fired up the Mexicans,
but the Rebels won the next three,
15-5, 16-14, 15-7.
The Rebels, making Aggieland
their seventh stop on their nine-
team American tour, beat the Uni
versity of Texas in straight games
Wednesday night. Eight players on
the Mexican team are either current
ly on or were on the Mexican nation
al team. In fact, A&M head coach
Terry Condon has played against
several Inde players.
The Rebels were led by Blanca
Garcia, who played on the 1968 and

“Because of him, they’ve drawn
three state champions to their prog
ram,” said Santini. “It (A&M-Texas)
will be the best matchup. Last year,
U.T. refused to wrestle us because
we beat them 54-6 the year before.
This year, it may be tough.”
The Aggies will take on Southwest
Texas again at noon Saturday to start
off the competition, and then will
take on LeTournau University at
2:30 p.m. At 1:30 p.m., however, the
real action takes place, as the Aggies

NEW YORK — Dave Roberts, a
catcher with a lifetime batting aver
age of. 240, hit a home run in base
ball’s annual re-entry draft of free
agents Thursday, but outfielder Ron
LeFlore and relief pitcher Tug
McGraw struck out.
Roberts, who played last season
with the Texas Rangers, was the first
choice in the draft and was selected
12 times in all — the most of any
player. Although he has never play
ed more than 127 games in any major
league season, he now figures to reap
the financial benefits of the re-entry
process.
While Roberts, outfielder Dave
Winfield and pitcher Don Sutton
proved to be the most popular
choices, LeFlore and McGraw were
scorned.
LeFlore, who stole 97 bases for
the Montreal Expos last season, was
chosen by only the Chicago White
Sox while McGraw, one of the Phi
ladelphia Phillies’ World Series
stars, did not receive a single bid for
his services. Since less than two
teams drafted rights to LeFlore and
McGraw, they are free to talk to any
team but their asking price will un
doubtedly come down considerably.
“I’m surprised there wasn’t more
interest in LeFlore,” said Expos’
president Jim Fanning. “He did steal
97 bases and I’d think he’d be attrac
tive to several clubs.”
“The McGraw thing was interest
ing,” admitted Dick Moss, an agent
for both Winfield and McGraw. “I
think a lot of clubs, based on Tug’s
performance in the World Series,
felt that he belongs in Philadelphia.
Tug is, in effect, a completely free
agent. He’s free to talk to all the
clubs and we intend to do just that.”
While the lack of interest in LeF
lore and McGraw was not expected,
neither was the great interest shown
in Roberts.
