Pushing the fourth-place Ran- ;ers to within three games of first ti the American League West, )arwin set the Mariners down on I® hree hits as Texas claimed a 4-1 nn Monday night. A crowd of5,000 people, one of te smallest of the year, was on and to witness Darwin’s master- ul performance. But most of the Rangers under- tood the reason for the empty :yS! ids seats — the Dallas Cowboys were playing the New England Patriots on national television. “Texas will have to have a con sistent winner before the fans real ly come out,’ observed Darwin, who upped his record to 9-8 while striking out seven and walking three. Thoughts of another team also dwelled in the Rangers’ dressing room — league leading Kansas City. “Our record is better than Kan sas City’s overall, which shows that the split season is a bunch of bull,” Darwin said. “But anything can happen and we’re pulling for Minnesota because we play them again.” Teammate Al Oliver had similar ysk toss country teams l inisli third and fifth soul icnli By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff In the Seventh Annual Texas A&M Invitational Crosscountry Meet, he Aggies finished third and fifth in both the women’s and men’s non impetition. ethi The women were led by Marilee Matheny who finished eighth with time of 18:14 in 5,000 meters. The Aggie women scored 81 points for lird behind the Univeristy of Texas with 18 and the University of exas-El Paso with 73.

Barbara Collingsworth finished 14th, Adelide Bratten 16th, Lisa H McCorstin 18th, Kim Cloud 19th and Suzanne Sheffield 27th. ■ Coach Bill Nix said the team was disappointed with the showing but i i| was fairly good for the first meet of the year. L The women had no major problems,” he said, “and the minor ones in be worked on so they won’t happen again. The main problem was concentration and intensity, he said. It is )mething the team will have to work on. “Our mental attitude needs to be more intense, but otherwise, we ire in good shape,” the coach said. Matheny was in third or fourth place, he said, when she “ran out of !as” and was passed up by the other runners. “Marilee is very upset at herself over that but the incline just got tier,” Nix said. Junior Ray Muenich led the men’s team to a fifth place finish with a me of 31:15 for 10,000 meters. Texas won the men’s division also with 46 points.

FREE MOVIE The Association of Baptist Students will be showing the film The World That Perished at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22. It is based on the book The Genesis Flood by Dr. Henry Morris and Dr. John Whitcomb. This documentary film answers such questions as: “Was the ark really big enough to hold all of those animals? What evidence is there that the flood really happened? Where did all of the water come from?” The film will be shown at the ABS Student Center at 304 Highland, one block off of Jersey in College Station.

We want to bring it close so they have to play the extra games. The small crowd tonight shows the Cowboys are the top priority with the fans.” Darwin allowed singles to Bruce Bochte in the fourth inning and Tom Paciorek in the ninth and was touched by Julio Cruz for a leadoff triple in the sixth. Cruz scored on Dan Meyer’s infield out. “Darwin’s form has been erra tic, but tonight he looked real good, ” said catcher Jim Sundberg. “With this small of a crowd I felt like a no-hitter had to be thrown. “But what do you expect? We re in a pennant race and the Cow boys are in their season. ‘T’ve got a feeling that good things are in store. Kansas City has an advantage because they’ve been there before, but we have older guys who should be able to handle the pressure.” Texas led 3-0 in the fourth when Bump Wills and Mickey Rivers got back-to-back singles off loser Tim Stoddard. Buddy Bell drove in Wills and when center fielder Joe Simpson threw wildly to third, Rivers scored. Pat Putnam then doubled off the left-field wall to score Bell. Texas scored its final run in the eighth when Wills singled, was sacrificed to second hy Rivers and scored on Oliver’s RBI single. LAST 3 DAYS!
