CHRISTLIEB Battalion Staff Coach Jim Butts of the Texas A&M University women’s soccer club didn’t know much about the club when he became its coach during the first week of school. Although he coached high school and semi-pro soccer teams in New York, the 35-year-old coach didn’t think about the possi bility of coaching at Texas A&M. However, when the women’s soc cer club began searching for a new coach this year. Butts took the opportunity to volunteer for the post. Although the coaching job is strictly voluntary as a result of the non-varsity status of both Texas A&M soccer clubs, Butts thought it would be a good chance for him to coach a competitive team. After finishing fifth in the nation in 1980, the team hopes for another successful season in 1981, and Butts feels that the confidence of his players will boost them to a high finish in national competi tion. “Skillwise, I haven’t seen a bet ter women’s soccer team,” Butts said. “We’re out there to win, but because we re a club it’s a little different. ” Butts has 26 players on the team, with president Adele Fair- man and vice president Melanie Felger leading the team’s effort. Other team leaders are captains Jamie Fougeron and Carol Gittin- ger, as well as Lucy Bourne, Becky Carpenter, Sue Niles and Lynn Vester. The squad is a young one, with several freshmen and sophomores dotting the roster. The club competes in the Texas Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer League, which is made up of Southwest Texas State, Stephen F. Austin State, Baylor, the Uni versity of Texas, Trinity and Sam Houston State.

Butts said he is hopeful that the Aggies may be come a varsity squad soon, but a decision has not been made yet. UT will benefit from its recent jump to varsity status, and the Texas A&M program would pros per if both the men’s and women’s teams became varsities. By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB Battalion Staff The 1980 Texas A&M-Texas Tech football game was a little more one-sided than most people thought it would be. The Aggies took a 31-7 lead at halftime and finished with a 41-21 victory over the Red Raiders, as Texas A&M rebounded from back-to-back losses to Georgia and Penn State. This year’s matchup has been billed as another close game, with the Aggies picked to win by no more than seven points. Although some of the partici pants from the 1980 contest are missing, several of the key figures will lead their teams in Saturday’s game, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Lubbock’s Jones Stadium. The Aggies are 2-1 after last week’s 43- 7 pounding of Louisiana Tech, while the Red Raiders lost 28-15 to Baylor. In the 1980 game, Texas A&M senior quarterback David Beal put in his best performance since ear lier taking over for the ineffective Mike Mosley. Beal scored four touchdowns on runs of 20, 9, 24 and 32 yards, rushing for 68 yards on 12 carries, as the Aggies started the conference schedule with an easy win. Texas A&M hopes to start the 1981 Southwest Conference sea son with a win, but the focus will be on a different quarterback this time around. Junior Gary Kubiak, who has completed 27 of 60 passes for 505 yards, will lead the Aggies against a Red Raider team that has allowed its opponents to complete 53 of 84 passes for 911 yards. That’s an average of 303.7 yards a game passing that Tech has given up. Raider foes have averaged of 501 yards a game, which immedi ately points to the team’s major weakness: defense. Beal completed 12 of 19 for 129 yards in last year’s game, and Kubiak hopes to similarly exploit the weaknesses of the Tech secon dary. The Aggie offense shouldn’t have too much trouble getting started against the Red Raiders’ defense, but Texas A&M coach Tom Wilson says he’s not taking his team’s opponent lightly. The Aggies’ Earnest Jackson and Johnny Hector will try to add to their team-leading rushing tot als, with both posing double threats as receivers coming out of the backfield. The Aggie offense has averaged 402 yards a game through the first three games, while the defense has allowed 317 yards a game. The Texas Tech ofiense has done well, but not as well as the Aggies, as the Raiders are averaging 333 yards a game through three games. es ( ‘They have real good persJHel and I’m sure (Aggie coach) Wn l Wilson will have them prepareflduat play in Lubbock. Again, wi Mi pa: to keep working on not giviJer fi the big play and doing a betteipied I of execution on offense.” Bleb First-year coach Jerry Moore said the play of his defense will be a major factor in Saturday’s game. “The key for us right now is to forget about the Baylor (loss) and move on to A&M,” Moore said. The Red Raiders also hop: eliminate the mistakes theyi in last year's game, in which committed six turnovers, im ing four interceptions throw quarterback Ron Reeves. Sot 1981, Reeves has completed o 41 percent of his passes for yards, which isn’t near > IVI I | V the A' 'I formance many observers i pected of the senior.

After Sunday’s disappointing match with the University of Texas, Telmo Franco wants to forget the past and look to the fu ture. As the coach of the Texas A&M University men’s soccer club. Franco watched his athletes play the Longhorns to a 3-3 tie, but the coach thinks his club should have come away with a win. Although the Aggies came back from a 3-1 deficit, two late goals weren’t enough to defeat the stubborn UT club. The team travels to Texas Christian University today for a match with the Horned Frogs’ varsity team.
