USC takes over number one
spot, Notre Dame drops to 11
United Press International
NEW YORK — At least South
ern California has a chance to pro
tect its No. 1 rating in friendly
surroundings.
Southern California moved into
the top spot in the country today
following balloting by UPI’s Board
of Coaches, with 28 first-place
votes for 584 points.
Oklahoma inched up to the No.
2 with 10 first-place votes and 526
points in voting by 40 of the 42
coaches on the UPI Board.
Unlike Michigan and Notre
Dame, who were rated No. 1 and
who both lost the following Satur
day in road games, the Trojans
host the No. 2 Sooners on
Saturday.
Notre Dame, which acquired
the No. 1 spot last week after
Michigan was upset, 21-14, by
Wisconsin, was the latest team to
be knocked from its perch, tumb
ling to No. 11 after absorbing a
25-7 loss to Michigan. The Wol
verines moved up six spots to No.
6 on the strength of a 25-7 triumph
over Notre Dame last week.
Rangers win again
Women ruggers win
season opener, 8-0
The Texas A&M University women’s rugby team opened its 1981-82
season with an 8-0 win over the Houston Boars Saturday in Houston.
The first score came in loose play when a maul was formed. Jenny
Graham and June Van Dyke maneuvered the ball out where Cindy
Allen went around the weak side for the score. Lisa Scarborough
missed the conversion attempt so the score remained 4-0.
The Aggies roared back a few minutes later when Van Dyke scored
on a scrum-down.
Penn State advanced to No. 3
followed by No. 4 Texas and No. 5
Pittsburgh, which both moved up
two places from last week.
Rounding out the Top 10 are
No. 6 Michigan, No. 7 UCLA, No.
8 Ohio State, No. 9 North Caroli
na and No. 10 Alabama.
Penn State, idle last week,
travels to Lincoln, Neb., Saturday
to meet No. 12 Nebraska, which
jumped seven places following a
34-14 triumph over Florida State.
The second 10 is: No. 11 Notre
Dame, No. 12 Nebraska, No. 13
Brigham Young, No. 14 Mississip
pi State and No. 15 Miami (Fla.).
Georgia, which saw its 15-game
winning streak ended by Clemson
last week, is rated 16th, followed
by No. 17 Washington, No. 18
Clemson, No. 19 Florida and
Arkansas and West Virginia were
tied for the No. 20 position.

ARLINGTON — Texas Ran-
;ers pitcher Danny Darwin
timed in one of his better per-
brmances of the season against
he Seattle Mariners, and he
; |ij vishes a few more folks had been
ound to see it.
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

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.”

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.
In crosscountry, scoring is based on one point for first, two for
Second and so on. The winner will have the most finishers closest to
. 'first.
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. Baylor was second
vith 47, Houston third with 55, Rice fourth with 77 and the Aggies
inished with 110 points.
The men will be competing in the Baylor Invitational Friday and the
vomen will be traveling to Houston to run in the Rice Invitational.
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.

sentiments, saying he believed
the Rangers “can win this thing. ”
“Of course,” he added, “Kansas
City must lose. 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.

Comfort. Freedom from want or concern. If your clothing
