Mono
Ladies win by 5 over Lamar
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Battalion Staff
Senior forward Trigg Crawford
pumped in 14 points and grabbed 13
rebounds to lead the Texas A&M
University women’s basketball team
over Lamar Saturday night 69-64 in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Forward Cathy Fuller and guard
Kelly Sullivan each chipped in 12
points in the win with five and two
rebounds respectively.
The coaches, however, were not
entirely pleased with the effort.
“We weren’t pleased with the way
we played and we knew we should
have won the game by more than we
did and the girls know that too, ” said
assistant coach Cindy Gough.
Indeed, the women had 80 shots
on goal and connected on only 30 for
37.5 percent for the night. Lamar
fared a little better with 23-of-60 for
38.3 percent. From the free throw
line the Aggies were 9-of-15 for 60
percent while Lamar hit on 18-of-24
for 75 percent. The difference was
turnovers.
“They scored 16 points the first
half on free throws and that’s what
kept them in the game, ” said Gough.
“We told them at halftime that we
needed to cut down on fouls and still
play aggressive and force some tur
novers and that’s what we did.”
The Aggies led at the half 38-34.
“She (Crawford) had some prob
lems the first half of the season,”
Gough said of the 5-11 senior. “But
she’s come back real well since the
Christmas break and that is good.
She’s a senior and a captain and is
setting a good example for the youn
ger players.”
Gough said that the season could
only get better for the young Aggies
after last week’s games.
The women return to action Satur
day night against a tough University
of Houston team in Houston.

There comes a certain point that
fairly good teams can suddenly be
come more than good.
It involves passing through a confi
dence barrier. The Baylor Bears
football team did it last autumn and
the Baylor basketball team may have
done it last Saturday.
The Bears are a surprising 4-0 in
Southwest Conference action and re
main on top of the league chase. And
they did it by upsetting the Arkansas
Razorbacks in Waco, 67-58.
“The key to the game was the con
fidence shown by our team in every
given situation,” said Baylor coach
Jim Haller. “We were hurting in that
regard early in the year, but this
team now has as much confidence in
themselves and each other as any
squad I’ve coached.”
Baylor last won its first four league
games in 1969 and the Bears will go
after No. 5 Monday night at home
against Texas Tech.
Tech fell two games off the chase
last Saturday, falling to Rice in over
time, 52-50. A jump shot from the
corner at the buzzer of that overtime
period by Ricky Pierce brought the
Owls the victory over Tech.
TCU, meanwhile, pulled off yet
another surprise by decking Texas,
66-64, and Texas A&M ended its
five-game losing streak with a 71-51
win over SMU. It was the last game
this year as an Aggie for 6-11 center
Rudy Woods, who became scholas
tically ineligible at the end of the
semester.
Woods, who was benched to start
the conference season, finished with
seven points in his finale.
The Bears celebrated their victory
over Arkansas with the realization
that they had done something spe
cial, but also with the realization that
the regular season is only a fourth
over. . , ,
“We have to go out and do the
same thing the rest of the year, said
defending SWC scoring champ Ter
ry Teagle, who paced the Baylor
effort with 24 points. “It’s super to be
where we are right now. I think we
wanted it a little bit more than
Arkansas did.’
In addition to the Baylor-Texas
Tech meeting Monday night, Arkan
sas will face a critical road test against
the Houston Cougars. Houston (3-1
in conference play) lost its most
cent league game, a week i
SMU.
On Tuesday Rice will visitl (
A&M and SMU will travel toH
The key games next Saturday

Trigg Crawford
The win, the second in a week,
lifted the Aggie Ladies to a 4-13 sea
son mark. They defeated Tulane
Wednesday night 81-79 in New
Orleans and lost to Southeastern
Louisiana 67-57 Thursday night in
Hammond, La.
In the win over Tulane Crawford,
of College Station, tipped in a missed
shot by guard Kelley Sullivan with
less than six seconds left.
“The difference was that the girls
kept their composure,” Gough said
of the Tulane win. “It is the first time
we’ve won a real close one. We saw
some good things in that game.”
Crawford led the way in last
week’s surge with 45 points and 28
rebounds in the three games.

IM Game Plan
ENTRIES OPEN: Next Monday Qan. 26) marks the opening day
for two exciting special events. The Intramural Free Throw Contest
and the Fencing competition will both be open for entries from Jan.
26 through Feb. 3. The Free Throw Contest will be conducted on
Thursday evening, Feb. 10 from 7-10 p.m. on the Main Floor of G.
Rollie White. Additional fencing information will be forthcoming.
ENTRIES CLOSE: Basketball entries will be accepted through
this Thursday, Jan. 22. If you missed the fall registration, the IM
Dept, will make an effort to place your team if space is still available.
Stop by the IM Office before this Thursday.
PLAY BEGINS: Intramural Basketball action starts this Wednes
day (Jan. 21). Since many of the games will be played in the new East
Kyle gyms, team captains are encouraged to double check the time
and location of their first game to avoid an unnecessary forfeit.
INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL OFFICIALS: Basketball is just
underway, but softball is not far behind. By far the largest Intramural
event of the year, Softball requires a large number of competent
officials. Anyone interested in becoming a Softball Umpire should see
Dave Kferr in the IM Office (159 East Kyle) after Wednesday, Jan.
21. The first softball clinic is set for Monday, Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. (new
time) in Room 274 of East Kyle. So if you are interested in earning a
few extra bucks and would enjoy working flexible, outdoor hours —
check into becoming a Softball Umpire. No experience required, we
will train.
Intramural Basket
ball action starts off
the spring semester
intramural sports
competition. Over
750 teams have al
ready registered to
compete.
