A&M Pistol Team thrives
in competitive situations
COMING SOON.
Aggie Blood Drive
By KIM CONNER
Battalion Reporter
Six people stand in a line con
centrating, watching. Fifty feet
away six targets turn quickly to
face them. A few seconds of si
lence. Shots start ringing in the
room, non-stop for 10 seconds.
The targets turn away. The people
relax slightly. Soon it will start
again.
The Texas A&M Pistol Team is
interested in competition, said
Coach Curtis Burns, assistant di-
j rector of executive development
, programs. It is not a recreational
club, he said. The team is com
posed of 18 people divided into
three squads: Corps, civilian and
women.
Burns turns back to the team.
“You will load a clip of five
rounds,” he tells them. Six people
load their .22-caliber pistols.
“Everybody ready?” he asks.
The shooting resumes.
The team is practicing rapid-
fire: five shots, called a string,
fired in 10 seconds, two seconds
per shot. Two strings, 10 shots,
are fired at each target. Four
strings make the score for the
rapid-fire part of a competition.
Slow-fire, five shots in 2.5 mi
nutes, and time-fire, five shots in
20 seconds, are done in the same
manner. Sixty total shots in a com
petition, each shot is worth a max
imum of 10 points.
A good total score is about 540,
an average score of 90 per target,
team member Edward Koester
said earlier.
Competitions, Burns said, have
more tensions and distractions
and many players succumb to the
pressure. Competition experi
ence is the only way to remedy the
nerves. Bums said. “The more
you compete, the more confi
dence you have,” he said.
Pistol shooting. Bums said, is a
battle against oneself, not another
person. “You start looking at ev
erybody else’s score, you can be
come discouraged. You do the
best concentrating on your game
and doing the best you can, not
trying to beat someone.”
It is about 80 percent mental
and 20 percent physical, he said.
Targets are being checked,
scores figured. Margie Arbon, a
senior asks Coach Burns about her
problem with shooting twins, two
shots through the same hole. They
confer.
Arbon is a member of the
womens team. Other members
are Valerie Gatanis, Sharon Tra-
monte, Caroline Cate, Meredith
Dodgen and Margot Goff. Corps
team members are Bill Little,
Buck Sullivan, Roger Davis, Gar
rett McKenzie, Rob Tramble and
Ed Palacios. Civillian members
are Ben Jones, Edward Koester,
Chip Miles, John Trankovich,
Carlos Munoz, Peter Schaller and
Dan Williams.
All own their own guns, a $200-
400 investment. Tryouts for the
team were held during the first
two weeks of school. Six different
team members practice Monday,
Tuesday and Thursday nights at
the range in the basement of the
Military Science Building.
The team is sponsoring a match
on November 7. Schools invited
are Southwestern Oklahoma State
University, University of Texas at
Arlington, Sam Houston, Stephen
F. Austin, Air Force Academy and
Tarleton State University.
The matches. Burns said, are
warmups for the sectional and the
national competitions sponsored

each year. Winners from the na
tionals can go into international
competition, including the Olym
pics, which in 1984 are having
separate events for the women.
Meredith Dodgen prepares to fire her .22 caliber pistol all
target 50 feet away as Bill Wiseman, an instructor, closesli
eyes in anticipation. Dodgen is one of 18 members of lli
Texas A&M Pistol Team, which practices Monday, Tuesdai
and Thursday nights in the basement of the Military Sdenti
Building.

The Texas A&M University
softball team this weekend takes
its 26-2 record out of Texas for the
first time this season, traveling to
Stillwater, Okla. for the Oklahoma
State Invitational tournament.
The tourney is the last of the fall
season for the Aggies, who travel
to Conroe next weekend to play in
the state championship tourna
ment. With the success they’ve
enjoyed since opening the season
a month ago, the Aggies shouldn’t

have too much trouble winning
the double-elimination state tour
nament.
But Coach Bob Brock and the
Aggies are concentrating only on
Oklahoma, where they’ll face
more competition than they have
at any time this fall. Among the
teams participating in the tourney
will be the the University of Kan
sas, University of Oklahoma and
Oklahoma City University.
Brock said the Aggies will find
out if their .300 team batting aver
age and 0.22 ERA aren’t only a
result of playing against relatively
weak competition. Texas A&M
has spent the first five weeks of the
season playing teams like Stephen
F. Austin University, Baylor Uni
versity, Angelo State University
and and Pan American University,
some of which don’t have strong
softball teams. However, the
Aggies have also played well
against good competition, defeat
ing the University of Texas at
Arlington and Sam Houston State
University during the four tourna
ments played so far.
Of the four tourneys, the Aggies
have won three. The team has won
the Texas A&M Invitational, SFA
Invitational and the SHSU Invita
tional, while placing second in the
UTA Invitational. The Aggies’ two
losses have been to UTA in the
first game of the Texas A&M tour
ney, and to Oklahoma State in the
first game of the UTA Invitational.
In the SHSU Invitational,
Aggie pitchers allowed no runs
and only nine hits in six games.
Aggie starters Lori Stoll, Shan
McDonald and Lisa Martinez
have struck out 241 batters in 190
innings, with freshman Martinez
leading the way with a 9-0 record
and 96 strikeouts in 64 innings.
McDonald, a junior, has a 10-1
record with 68 strikeouts, while
Stoll has a 7-1 record with 77
strikeouts.
The team continues to effective
ly combine the knowledge and ex
perience of its veterans with
strong play from the freshmen.
Freshman outfielders Iva Jackson
and Josie Carter still lead the team
in average, with Carter’s 34 RBI
the most impressive offensive sta
tistic.
Next weekend’s state toia
ment in Conroe will end I
Aggies’ fall season, giving I

defeating the University of Central Florida in three straight garaf ^ oi
The Aggies won 15-9, 15-6 and 15-9, running their season recoid r fi d

A&M is ranked 20th after playing well in the past weekend’s Univtis I
ty of Califomia-Berkeley tournament.
Coach Terry Condon said the Aggies played aggressive defenseaiB
attacked the ball well Thursday night. -V||
“We played much better tonight,” Condon said. “Our defense*FH
better, but we slowed down to their pace. We went through a teanil[
this in a tournament two weeks ago. That worries me.
“We blocked much better tonight. Chemine Doty is doing real*
for a freshman. She’s really going for it.”
Condon cited the play of Wendy Wilson and Jennifer Giesel
pivotal to the Aggies’ success against UCF. The coach said theta
played “very smart, heads-up ball.”
