Baylor was supposed to use a relatively easy non-conference schedule to tune-up for the tougher times ahead, but the Bears wound up losing to Lamar and having to scratch and claw to survive against Louisiana Tech last Saturday night in Shreveport, 28-21. “We re still just a so-so football team,” said Baylor coach Grant Teafif, whose team went unbeaten through conference play a year ago. “We won’t be a great team until we become more consistent. I mean on both offense and de fense. “We will do certain things good one game and then bad the next. Even our kicking game has been inconsistent. But the thing I do it.

J Because of a malfunction in ®ual display equipment used by V flagmen to count laps, the Mite flag fell on the 73rd lap and Mcheckered fell on the 74th, just JMears nudged the nose of his car into the lead. Under RT rules, the race was declared plete. I Unser, Bill Alsup and Gor- iOn johncock rounded out the top Re finishers of the problem- •rtened Indy car event. “There was a time when I didn’t know if I would ever play golf again,” said Haynie, who col lected $24,750 for the victory to boost her career earnings to $600,874. Back problems forced her to drastically curtail her tournament schedule, but she said there were other factors in her decision to “more or less retire.” “I was a little bit mentally burned out,” said Haynie, a for mer U.S. Open and LPGA Cham pionship winner. “I had played golf for so many years, I was really burned out.” like about this team is that it has a lot of want to. And that will give them a chance to get better.” Tech comes into its conference opener off a 28-21 victory over New Mexico, a much needed win that followed its embarassing 45- 27 loss to Colorado. SMU finished its non conference schedule with an im pressive 59-27 mauling of Grumb ling, a game turned into a rout by the running of Eric Dickerson and Craig James. Those two players have combined for more than 800 yards and 14 touchdowns in their first three outings. TCU, meanwhile, won its first game of the year, a 38-16 decision over Texas-Arlington. The Mus tangs and Horned Frogs will tang le in an evening battle in Fort Worth next Saturday. The rest of next weekend’s SWC slate is of an intersectional nature. Arkansas, which ran its record to 2-0 last weekend with a 38-7 conquest of Northwestern, will meet Mississippi in Jackson. Houston, a 12-7 loser to Miami, will return home to face Utah State. That Miami Hurricane club will come to Austin for a confron tation with the Texas Longhorns, who compiled a less-than- overwhelming 23-10 win over North Texas Saturday night. The Rice Owls, winless after a 42-10 whipping administered by Missouri, has to go to LSU, and Texas A&M, which was a 13-12 upset victim at the hands of Bos ton College, will play Louisiana Tech in College Station. Baylor and Tech have a habit of turning out good games and Teaft — with his team still struggling — expects' another one. “It’s like always,” said Teaff. “Tech has very good personnel. I’ve always been a big fan of (Tech quarterback) Ron Reeves. “We re ready to start playing for real now. I’m anxious to see how we stack up in the league.” 41 ' • /Sd .QTrlsty^Js FLOWERS & GIFTS 10% Discount on Aggie Mums for Members of the Aggie Band!

Simla's team bottled up the Houston Oilers and Earl Campbell Sunday as it is rarely done to beat the Oilers 16-10 and remain unbeaten in three games. Despite the awesome defense led by middle guard Bob Baumhower, Miami might not have been able to beat Houston in the Astrodome without Don Strock’s three-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the game, Shula had benched a quarterback who led the Dolphins to two wins in favor of Strock. Shula did not explain the move except to say regular, quarterback David Woodley was healthy and that Strock was more experienced at reading defen sive movements. “The Oilers gave us a lot of different coverages and Strock had more experience,” Shula said. Second-year pro Woodley started the second half standing by his coach despite his team leading 9-7 on three Uwe von Schamann field goals. He had over thrown several wide-open receivers, had completed 11 of 22 passes and had not been intercepted. He did not question Shula’s right to make such a move. Strock, who had completed 24 of 26 passes in preseason, came on to complete 7 of 10 passes aganst the Oilers including the game-winner, an easy 3- yard toss to running back Audra Franklin with 6:40 to play. “I was surprised to go into the game because we were winning,” Strock said. The defense, which sacked quarterback Ken Stab ler eight times and held Campbell to 78 yards on 19 carries, gave Strock the opportunity to win it by holding Houston inside its 10-yard line late in the game. Houston’s punt came out to the Miami 49, and Tommy Vigorito returned it 11 yards to the Houston 40. On third-and-6, Stock passed 19 yards to Duriel Harris on the right sideline. Then three plays later he found Franklin slipping out of the backfield. Miami offensive guard Bob Kuechenberg, a 12- year Dolphins veteran, said Shula’s move to Strock was not surprising at all. “It may seem bold to you but in baseball if you have a two-run lead with two innings to go and you have a Goose Gossage in the bullpen, you use him. Don Strock has been terrific every time he’s gone into a game,” Kuechenberg said. Volleyball team returns home after California tournament By GAYE DENLEY Battalion Staff A strong 24-school field that in cluded the 10 top-rated womens’ volleyball teams in the nation dashed the Aggies’ hopes for a na tional ranking in last weekend’s San Diego State Tournament in San Diego, Calif. Texas A&M dropped matches to Pepperdine, UCLA, sixth- ranked Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal-State Fullerton, defeating only Utah in the three-day event. UCLA, second in the pre tournament ratings, won the com petition and a probable number one ranking. Lasting for three games against UCLA in their second match was the highlight of the tournament for the Aggies, Coach Terry Con don said. Texas A&M bounced back from a 15-0 trouncing in game one to take the second game, 15-11, against the Bruins- starting lineup. Although UCLA rebounded to win the third game, 15-8, Condon said she was pleased with her team’s effort. “It was good that we went three games against them, being the number two-ranked team in the nation,” she said. The Aggies dropped their open er to Pepperdine, 15-11, 15-2, fol lowed by losses to UCLA and to Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, 15-4, 15-2. A 15-13, 15-2 victory over Utah hinted at an Aggie com eback, but Cal-State Fullerton si lenced that threat with a 15-11, 16-14 win in extended play. “We played up and down, which is lack of experience, ” Con don said. “We have a fairly young team. Texas A&M kicked off the Cali fornia road trip with an encourag ing scrimmage against Long Beach State last Wednesday. “We won every time but one they play ed,” Condon said. “They played real well. ” With a 4-6 season record, the Aggies next face Lamar University 7:30 Wednesday night in G.
