Volleyball team finishes

team places
fifth at LSU
Gary Krueger fired a 69 Friday
in the Louisiana State University
National Invitational Golf Tourna
ment, clinching fifth place indi
vidually for the second week in a
row and pacing a final round that
lifted the Aggies to eighth place.
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.
The Aggies next tournament,
after a couple of weeks of rest, is
the Pan American Fall Intercolle
giate in McAllen Oct. 29-31.

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.

FLICKERBALL?
It’s been said that Aggies will
try anything, so when Flickerball
was introduced a few years ago,
hundreds flocked to the IM of
fice to sign up. While naturally
interested, you may not know
what Flickerball is. Flickerball is
played with a football and com
bines both football and basket
ball skills. The goals, located at
each end of a 50-yard field, look
like basketball backboards with a

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. A goal is scored when
the ball is thrown through the
goal (3 points) or strikes the
backboard (1 point).
Flickerball has features that
football and basketball by them
selves do not. Since an attempt-
