Ag soccer team back on field
The Steelers, who have won four
Super Bowls in the last five seasons,
had scored in every game since being
shut out Sept. 24, 1974. 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.

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

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.

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.
