as Astros hold on to lead
United Press International
RALEIGH, N.C. — Seven
time NASCAR driving champion
Richard Petty has indicated he
will retire within five years and
become more involved in politics.
Tar Heel magazine reports in its
October issue.
“Politics is not my whole life —
right now, racing is,” Petty, a Ran
dolph County commissioner since
1978, told the magazine. “But
when I decide to get out of racing,
I might decide that politics is my
life. Right now, I wouldn't have a
whole lot of interest in being sena
tor, congressman or whatever.
But you come back in four or five
years, and I’m going to look at it
differently.”
Bob Preddy of Raleigh, Petty ’s
business manager for 14 years,
said, “We re getting into the final
three, four, five years of racing.’
Petty, 44, who oversees a mul
ti-million dollar stock car racing
enterprise in Level Cross and is
the winningest driver in NASCAR
Grand National history, paced a
Republican ticket that swept ev
ery Randolph County office in
1978. The state’s top Republicans
have said they are ready to back
Petty for any other political office.

Twins hand Rangers 5-2 loss
United Pr^ss International
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. —
Pete Redfern s hid for his first
shutout in five years was blown
away by the wind — literally.
The Minnesota Twins right
hander had a 5-0 lead and a four-
hitter going with two out in the
ninth and Al Oliver on first base
Sunday. He appeared on the
verge of his first shutout since
Sept. 23, 1976, when he heat the
Chicago White Sox on a three-
hitter.
Then Buddy Bell lifted a
routine fly to short right field and
the wind took over. It deposited
the ball in front of right fielder
Dave Engle while Oliver rounded
the bases and Bell scampered to
second.
“It’s a windy day and anything
could have happened to that ball,”
Redfern said. “It looked from the
flag that the wind was blowing out
and on the mound it felt like it was
going in.”
Pat Putnam knocked in Bell,
but Doug Corbett replaced Red
fern and salvaged a 5-2 win.
The Twins scored three in the
seventh inning on a walk to Butch
Wynegar, a double by Gary Ward
and singles by Pete Mackanin and
Hosken Powell. They scored sing
le runs in the first and eighth in
nings.
“We just haven’t executed our
gameplan,” said Rangers catcher
Jim Sundberg. “Were a line
drive-hitting team and we have to
do some things to score runs. But
the last four times the managerb
called hit and run, we kveit
even fouled the ball off, so«
runner gets caught stealing.”

United Press International
HOUSTON — Don Sutton,
who had a tough act to follow,
drew tantalizingly close to Major
League history himself hut settled
for gaining the satisfaction he
;oould beat the club which un
loaded him.
Sutton of the Houston Astros
pitched a powerful two-hitter over
the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday
to carry the Astros to a 4-1 win,
and to send Astros fans delirious
from the day before into momen
tary deja vu.
Teammate Nolan Ryan no-hit
the Dodgers Saturday and earned
a record-breaking fifth no-hit
game, but for Sutton — a Dodger
for 16 seasons — he was doomed
to a game of comparisons.
As it was he outdueled the
finest young pitcher in the game,
Fernando Valenzqela.
“I spent my whole life with peo
ple asking me how it felt to pitch
against Seaver and Carlton,” Sut
ton said. “I hope somebody asked
Fernando how it felt to pitch
against Sutton.”
Sutton, the winningest pitcher
in Dodgers history and holder of
eight Dodgers Records, declared
free agency following the 1980
season and was purchased by the
Astros.
The Dodgers Sunday did not
get a hit until the seventh, and
Ken Landreaux’s sharp single over
second base broke a string of 16
hitless innings for the Dodgers.
The hit also thwarted the possible
ignominy of having back-to-back
no-hitters thrown aganst them —
or anyone else — for the first time
in Major League history.
Sutton said his fastball was the
key to his ninth two-hitter. He has
five one-hitters to his credit but no
no-hitters.
“This is the best I’ve pitched
since the first game of the 1974
playoffs aganst the Pittsburgh Pi
rates. That was the best game of
my life. Every pitch was moving, ”
he said. “But it probably looked
slow to you guys after you watched
Nolan yesterday.

IM Changes For The Better
There are only 630 teams play
ing flag football this year, and
that’s about all the Penberthy
Complex can handle. This is a
slight drop from last year which
the Intramural Department at
tributes to a number of ultimate
ly positive changes that have re
cently been made.
Vlost notably, the entry fee
was necessarily incrased to $20
this year to compensate for in
creased costs and still maintain
the same level of service. Natu-
r
Holly Vann’s
winning exper
tise at home-run
hitting also won
her our
McDonald’s®
“Be Our Guest”
award for this
week. Holly can

card, for a free

meal, in the In
tramural office.
Reggie —
Look Out!
The Intramural-Recreational
Sports Department sponsored
their annual Horne Run Hitting
Classic last Wednesday at Olsen
F ield.
Facing the varsity pitching
machine with balls traveling at
65 miles per hour. Holly Van and
Lester Baird emerged as the
Women’s and Men’s Champions
respectively. Van put two fly
balls into the outfield to total 4
points to defeat 7 other contes
tants while Baird utilized two
home runs in tallying 14 points.
rally, this increase in cost has
steered some less enthusiastic
competitors away, but hopefully
entered teams will think twice
before forfeiting this year.
Playoffs have been eliminated
in Class C causing several teams
to jump to Class B. The schedul
ing in Class C is now entirely
“round robin” with teams play
ing in six-team leagues. This
change was made to provide op
portunities for individuals inter
ested only in recreation, so there
will be no awards in Class C.
The number of Class B teams
has increased despite the change
in Class B awards to certificates.
This year 434 teams elected to
play Class B, as compared to 412
in 1980. The decrease in Class A
teams is proportionate to the
overall decrease, so the major
moves have been from Class C to
Class B.
While there has been some
class shifting and decreases over
all, the IM staff believe they
have succeeded in encouraging
teams to play at the most appro
priate skill level. This is better
for all players because com
petitors will be more evenly
matched.
Increases in Class C are ex
pected once it is understood that
Class C schedules guarantee
teams will play five games and
the main objective is fun. And
that’s what Intramurals is all
about.
If you’ve been wondering what
to do about those sagging muscles
left over from the lazy summer,
then you may want to tone them
up in the Nautilus Weight Room
in G. Rollie White.
Wednesday, September 30
from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., John Jef
fries, a TAMU Weightlifting
Club member, will be teaching
interested men and women how
to use the machine weights. The
clinic is sponsored by the
mural-Recreational Sports De
partment and is open to anyone
with a valid student IDcardm
Recreation ID card. Tii'
machine weight room is in S
G. Rollie White.
Keep in mind that the Intra
mural Weightlifting Contest is
coming in just a few weeks. No*
is a good time to start workini
out for that.

the Duncan Intramural Fields.
They are located on the far side
of campus and are bounded by
Jersey and Throckmorton.
