Stabler was the opposing quarterback in that game too, leading the Oakland Raid ers to 17-0 victory. Bradshaw was also intercepted by cornerbacks J.C. Wilson and Greg Stemrick. The Oilers got two breaks in the first quarter, one when Greg Stem rick intercepted Bradshaw’s pass on Pittsburgh’s 38, and another on Elvin Bethea’s recovery of Harris’ fumble. But they were unable to capitalize against a tough Steeler de fense. The field goals were the first by Fritsch in three games. He had mis sed three of his last four attempts after injuring a leg muscle three weeks ago. Oilers running back Earl Camp bell led all rushers with 81 yards on 21 carries, but he was held to only 13 yards in the scoreless first half. Bradshaw completed 10-of-26 pass attempts for 138 yards and was sack ed three times. The victory ended a two-game los ing skid for the Oilers and put them in line to possibly earn a wild card playoff berth. They can still win the Central Division if the Browns stum ble in their final three games. By RICHARD OLIVER Sports Editor When the Texas A&M University men’s soccer team lines up against a high school team from dallas named the Titans Saturday morning, they may be looking at the future of the soccer program at A&M. The Titans are a high school team currently competing in an under-19 league in Dallas, and if Aggie Assis tant Soccer Coach David Flentge has his way, these players may someday be part of his squad. “We went up to a tournament cal led the Cotton Cup in Dallas a few weeks ago,” said Flentge Thursday, “which is one of the few tournaments set up for (high school) seniors in the nation. The Titans were one of the Cruz OK; will play United Press International HOUSTON — Houston Astros leftfielder Jose Cruz, who injured his knee last Saturday during winter league baseball in his native Puerto Rico, will be healthy in time for spring training, team physician Dr. Harold Brelsford said Thursday. Cruz, who batted .302 and drove in 91 runs for the Astros last season, suffered a partial ligament tear in his left knee when he slid into second base while playing for the Caguas. Aggie women to play SFA The A&M women’s soccer team will be back on the road again this weekend against Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches. The Aggies began a successful sea son in September against SFA with a 4-3 win. The last time the Aggies com peted was as the intercollegiate women’s soccer championships in Colorado three weeks ago, where they finished a respectable fifth. In the process, Aggie Adele Fairman was placed on the first All-America team in women’s inercollegiate soccer. Day Deer Hunting $50. a day Groups of 10 3 days/$100. Camp House 70 miles west of Houston 1-732-6849 best teams there. While they’re here Saturday, we’ll play them and then take them to lunch and show them around the campus. We’d really like them to come here.” Although none of the players will be eligible to play at A&M until 1982 because they won’t graduate until next year, the varsity-minded Flent ge is hoping their arrival at that time will be on the dawn of a revised A&M soccer program. “We’d like to induce these players to come here,” he said. “They won their division of the (Cotton) tour ney. These are such good players that if you kept all the starters together and let them keep playing, you’d have a World Cup level team ... They could just dominate the Southwest Conference someday. ” The Titans are taught by Ken Nor ton, a man who learned the mecha nics of coaching from current Texas A&M Head Coach Telmo Franco. Norton has responded by leading the Titans and forming one of the more respected teams in the Dallas area. Franco, in turn, came to A&M this past summer to coach the Aggies. His presence has been beneficial, as the Ags have stampeded to a 7-3-3 record, finishing the fall season in third place in the SWC standings. It is the best performance by an A&M team in the history of the school. The Aggies have not played since Nov. 17, when they stopped Lamar in Beaumont, 6-1. The team had ori ginally planned to travel to a tourna ment in Monterrey, Mexico over Thanksgiving, but that event was postponed. There is still a chance the Aggies may travel in the spring. In the meantime, Franco and Flentge have been hot on the re cruiting trail, and already have con firmed two new players will be arriv ing in the spring, and nine by next fall. “Most are coming from the Dallas area,” said Flentge. “These players are really razzle-dazzle; I mean, they’re really, really good. ” Some of the players will be attend ing Texas A&M straight from high school, while two of them are junior college transfers. The game against the Titans will begin Saturday morning at 10 on the drill field.
