Fight Night promises
exciting boxing action
By MIKE BURRICHTER
Brazos County’s biggest boxing-
fest, Sigma Phi Epsilon’s fifth
annual Fight Night, promises to
satisfy even the most sadistic
appetites.
Fight Night is boxing competi
tion for Texas A&M University
students. Started by Sigma Phi
Epsilon in 1976, it has grown ev
ery year, and this weekend about
90 Aggies will be slugging it out for
individual and team trophies, as
well as a niche in Texas A&M
athletic lore.
Held at the Brazos County
Pavillion, over 3000 spectators
watched the two-day event last
year, when 12 five-man teams
competed in two divisions. The
Greek division is fighting among
the off-campus fraternities, and
the open division is for just about
any other campus organization, be
it a dorm, corps unit, club, or just
a slapped together squad. This
year, a team from Moody College
in Galveston is competing.
Under the direction of Fight
Night Chairman Brian Armbruis-
ter the slugfest has attracted 20
teams this year.
“Everything is going to be twice
as big this year,” Armbruister
said. “Twice as many teams,
almost; twice as much action and
twice as much beer.”
And the beer does flow. Last

second
The Texas A&M University
women’s soccer team completed
its season over the Easter
weekend in a San Antonio tourna
ment with a second place finish.
The Aggies were the number
one seed in the A division. The
32-team tournament had three di
visions.
The women took the field Satur
day morning against The Sting, a
Fort Worth club team. The Aggies
took the game 3-2 as Carol Smith
scored two goals and Carol Gittin-
ger added the third.
The Aggies returned to action
that afternoon to play the Dallas
Cyclones, another team club, tak
ing the game 2-0. Gittinger and
Daphne Love each contributed
goals in the winning effort.
The undefeated Aggies entered
Sunday’s final, against The Force,
another Dallas club team, hoping
for the championship. That was
not the case as The Force won 1-0
on a deflected head ball.
“It was not a real good goal but it
went in and that’s what counts,”
head coach Steve Niles said. “We
controlled the tempo throughout
the game but just couldn’t get the
goals.”
year frenzied crowds consumed
105 kegs Armbruister said.
“We had some excellent fights
last year that really turned the
crowd on,” he said.
The two divisions showcase
markedly different styles. In the
past, the open division has been
made up of several experienced
boxers, while fraternity rivalries
have livened the Greek division.
However, the talent seems to
have evened out as more fighters
are taking it more seriously.
The highlight last year had to be
when James Zachry won the super
heavyweight title with a second
round knockout over Mike Bailey.
Zachry, a football standout at
Texas A&M now in the Canadian
Football League, knocked out
current Aggie starter Fred Cald
well to reach the finals. The other
super heavyweights couldn’t be
happier.
Perhaps the best boxer last year
was Allen Cooper, who won the
middle weight title for Moore
Hall. He showed the crowd the
“Ali shuffle” in defeating Joel
Aikens.
Cooper isn’t fighting this year,
and that has to be a major dis
appointment, as the open middle
weight division appears to be the
most competitive this year. Brian
Rice, winner of Fight Night two
years ago and amateur boxing
veteran, has to be the favorite. But
Aikens is returning, as well as
Dave St. Germaine, runner up
last year while fighting in the light
heavy weight division.
The Greek division is always ex
citing because some of the frater
nities possess passionate rivalries,
and it makes for hard hitting action
both in and out of the ring. Several
fighters in the Greek division have
fought before, setting up at least
one interesting rematch.
Last year Mike Lavoi entered
the light heavy weight division as
the clear favorite. When he
approached the ring to fight Mike
Murphy, several of Murphy’s
fraternity friends sneered, “Better
get the medics ready for your
pledge, Lavoi’s going to kill him.”
In their corners, Lavoi flexed
his muscles, while Murphy stood
looking frightfully pale. When the
bell rang, Murphy strolled to the
center of the ring and pummelled
Lavoi into submission.
Murphy and Lavoi square off at
7 p.m. tonight.
This year the Sig Eps, Sigma
Chi’s and Pikes have each entered
two teams.
Fighting starts at the Pavillion
today at 5 p.m. and the prelimin
ary bouts conclude at midnight.
Quarterfinal action starts Saturday
at 10 a.m. and ends at five. The
semifinals and finals begin at 7
p.m. Saturday night.

Astros win, 5-1,
to extend streak
United Press International
ATLANTA — Houston Manager Bill Virdon, whose team broke out
of an early season slump and completed a three-game sweep of the
Atlanta Braves Thursday night, said the series showed his team is a
“good club. ”
“We got to the point where we really needed to win three in a row
and that’s the sign of a good club, ” he said after the Astros defeated
Atlanta 5-1 Thursday night. “Good clubs respond to where it could get
drastic if they didn’t. ”
Going into the three-game series with Atlanta, Houston had drop
ped to a 4-12 record. Just a year earlier, the Astros had won the
National League West title.
Virdon said Houston, known more for its pitching than hitting,
defeated the Braves at their own game — power at the plate.
“We’ve shown more power (than the Braves),” he said. “I really
think that makes the difference. There’s not as much importance in us
not having a lot of power than a lot of clubs because our pitchers don’t
give up many home runs.”
In Thursday night’s game, Craig Reynolds and Jose Cruz each
belted two-run homers to back the five-hit pitching of Joe Niekro and
power Houston to a 5-1 victory. It was the Astros’ fourth straight win
and the Braves’ fifth consecutive loss.
Houston took a 2-0 lead in the first off loser Tommy Boggs, 1-3,
when Denny Walling drew a leadoff walk and Reynolds slapped his
second homer of the year.
The Astros went ahead 5-0 in the third. Walling again led off with a
walk, went to second on Reynolds’ groundout and scored on a single by
Cesar Cedeno. Cruz then smacked his third homer of the year, a
two-run shot to right field.
Niekro said the Astros’ early runs make his job easier.
“I was fortunate to get some runs earlier in the game,” he said. “You
pitch a little different when you get some runs. They’re (Atlanta) not
swinging the bat real good. They hit some line drives and we caught
them.”
Atlanta scored its run off Niekro, 2-2, in the fourth when Bob
Homer led off with a walk, went to third on Glenn Hubbard’s single
and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bruce Benedict. Niekro struck out two
and walked one to notch his third complete game.

Rangers beat
Royals, 7-0
Culpepper Plaza
United Press International
ARLINGTON — Texas Ran
gers manager Don Zimmer sug
gested during spring training that
pitching could be one of his team’s
major assets.
The Rangers continued to
strengthen the idea Thursday
night as Rick Honeycutt tossed a
five-hitter to beat the Kansas City
Royals, 7-0, notching Texas’
fourth straight shutout.
The win, coupled with a three-
game sweep of the Boston Red
Sox, gives the Texas pitching
corps 36 consecutive scoreless in
nings. The American League re
cord is five games and 54 innings
set by the 1974 Baltimore Orioles.
“I don’t know about last year’s
staff because I wasn’t here, ” Zim
mer said, “but I have said all along
that this was the best pitching staff
I’ve ever coached. ”
Honeycutt, 2-0, relied on a
sinker that forced Kansas City hit
ters to ground into 18 infield outs.
“I had a good sinker all night, ”
he said.
It was so good that several Kan
sas City batters accused him of
throwing a doctored baseball.
“I thought he was juicing some
thing on the ball,” said Kansas
City manager Jim Frey.
“I get checked whenever I have
a good sinker,” Honeycutt re
sponded.
Meanwhile, Zimmer accused
Kansas City pitchers of throwing
at Texas batters, particularly in
the eighth inning when Jim
Wright hit Billy Sample on the left
shoulder. At the time, Texas led
7-0.
“Just because we are hitting
over .300 doesn’t mean teams can
start throwing at us,” said Zim
mer, who was ejected from the
game for protesting about
Wright’s pitching.
“As far as I’m concerned, he
threw at Sample,” he said.
The Texas pitching has been
accompanied by a torrid hitting
attack.
