After Thursday’s round, Texas A&M trailed 14 schools in the 15- school field, the strongest the Aggies have faced all season, Coach Bob Ellis said. But Krueger’s 69, coupled with a 70 from Danny Briggs and a pair of 68’s from Bart Cobb and Paul Oglesby, moved the Aggies up seven places to finish ahead of the University of Texas and Brigham Young University, last year’s na tional champions. UCLA won the competition with a 33-under-par 831, followed by the University of Oklahoma at 835. The Aggies shot an 860. Krueger also finished second in last week’s Morton Braswell Clas sic in Shreveport, La., with a 70- 79-74-223, just three strokes be hind the winner of the tourna ment.

TUI9 101U& srotevoF.. By GAVE DENLEY Battalion Staff The Texas A&M women’s vol leyball team protected its spot in the national rankings this weekend with a second place fin ish in the University of Texas Tournament in Austin. Rated 20th before the match, the Aggies took 12 straight games as they blanked the Universities of Kansas, Minnesota, Central Flor ida and Oklahoma in round robin play. The Longhorns, rated 13th in the nation, finally ended the Aggies’ streak with a 15-11, 15-12, 9-15, 15-8 victory that iced first place for the hosts. “To lose to Texas was a little hard on us, ’ Coach Terry Condon .'said. “It was not one of our better tournaments. But it was nice to win so that we could see that we 'could play badly and still win. ’ * Sue Wetzel and Wendy Wilson earned all-tournament honors, Wilson for the second weekend in a row. The Aggies’ finish should move them up in the rankings, Condon said, since Texas is ranked 13th and the tournament’s field was fairly strong. She said she was par- ticulary pleased with the Aggies victory over Minnesota in straight games. “They were very good,’’ she said. The Aggies leave Wednesday for Champaign, Ill., for the Uni versity of Illinois Tournament.

The goals, located at each end of a 50-yard field, look like basketball backboards with a Acknowledgements Flickerball? hole in the middle. The object of the game is for the 7-member team to advance the ball by passing to a position from which a goal shot may be attempted.
