comeback of month
United Press International
NEW YORK — Ron Cey can be thankful this is a
month of miracles.
Cey, despite getting beaned by fireballer Rich
Gossage, plans to be at Yankee Stadium Tuesday
night for what could turn out to be one whale of a
World Series victory party for the Los Angeles Dod-
gers-
“I’m OK,” Cey managed to say Sunday before
being taken to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood,
Calif., and chances are that with the Dodgers leading
the New York Yankees three games to two all his
teammates feel the same way.
The Dodgers beat the Yankees 2-1, their third
straight victoiy after losing the first two games. Ped
ro Guerrero and Steve Yeager hit back-to-back home
runs in the seventh inning to pull Jerry Reuss and
Team Comeback from a 1-0 deficit to within one
victory of the championship.
“We overcame a deficit against an outstanding
ballclub and we’ve had three super games here, ” said
Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda. “I hope and pray
we can win one of two in Yankee Stadium.”
The Dodgers have lost six straight games in The
House That George Rebuilt but they hope to change
that. No series has ever been decided by a team
winning all its home games and losing all its road
games. And should the Dodgers wish to place any
faith in percentages, the winner of Game 5 has won
76 percent of all previous Series.
If the Dodgers have an enemy right now, it’s the
unfamiliarity of their position — ahead. They trailed
Houston 2-0 before winning the best-of-five National
League West playoffs, then rebounded from a 2-1
deficit to top Montreal in the NL playoffs.
“These guys have shown tremendous courage,”
said Lasorda. “Today we just hung in there and
waited for something to break. ”
It was Ron Guidiy who finally broke, throwing an
0-1 slider to Guerrero and and a 1-2 fastball to Yea
ger. Those were the only mistakes for the lefthander,
who fanned nine in seven innings and at one point
retired 15 of 16 batters.
“When you are going bad you throw pitches and
they hit them and you throw good pitches and they
still hit them,” said Guidry. “I thought 1 had great
stuff after the first inning. It was just one of those
things.”
The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the second on a
double by Reggie Jackson, the first of three errors by
second baseman Dave Lopes, and a single by Lou
Piniella. They managed only three more hits off
Reuss the rest of the way and now know how the
Dodgers felt in 1978, when New York lost the first
two games then captured four straight for the title.
“It’s a bad feeling to have someone come back on
you,” said Jackson. “It’s a different feeling when
you’ve tasted it and then all of a sudden it seems like
it’s the other guy’s turn. I’ve never lost though.”

The 19th-rated Texas A&M
women’s volleyball team moved
closer to a spot in the national top
ten last weekend with a convinc
ing first-place finish in the five-
team Texas A&M Tournament.
The Aggies’ undefeated tourna
ment record included back-to-
back victories over 16th-rated
University of Texas at Arlington, a
team the Aggies hadn’t beaten in
two years.
“We’re starting to play the way
we were earlier this season,”
Coach Terry Condon said. “We
were starting to play like a unit,
and then we went down for a cou
ple of weeks — I think we were
mentally fatigued. ”
Lighter practices and a few days
of rest gave the players the mental
boost they needed, she said, and
the results were obvious to the
Aggies’ opponents. Texas A&M
dropped Lamar University 7-15,
15-3, 15-13, 15-7 in its opener Fri
day afternoon, and followed up its
fourth win of the season over the
Cardinals with a 15-8, 15-1, 15-10
trimming of Louisiana State Uni
versity.
The Aggies next dumped the
University of Houston in straight
games, 15-11, 15-6, 15-7, and
completed their preliminary play
by stunning UTA 15-8, 15-10, 4-
15, 16-14 Saturday morning.
Their confidence at an all-time
high, the Aggies handed the
Mavericks their second loss of the
day in the 12-15, 16-14, 15-9, 13-
15, 15-10 marathon final match.
“I think it was a real confidence-
booster because we’ve known all
along that we were capable of
beating UTA,” senior hitter Wen
dy Wilson said. “It (the finals
match) was the first time we’ve
gone into a game like that knowing
before we started that we were
going to win.”
An improving defense and con
tinued progress from the younger
players made the difference in the
tournament, Condon said. “We’re
starting to play more aggressively
with a lot better defensive effort,”
she said.
12 P<
“Sue Wetzel, Wendy Wilson,
and Kristen Bloom have all been
steady, and Jennifer Geise has sta
bilized. Chemine Doty and Lisa
Johnson are going to make some
mistakes because they’re young,
but they’re doing better. And
Cathy Frederick played some
really great defense.”
Saturday's wins over UTA gave
the Aggies a 29-13 season mark
and their second undefeated tour
nament championship of the sea
son. Texas A&M won the Texas
Women’s University Tournament
September 25-26 by upsetting

viously the nation’s top-rani

Condon said she is pleased*
the timing of her team’s retun
form. "I think we’ve peakedat; 7,

tournament selection for 3

With the Yankees leading 1-0 and Guidry having
struck out Dusty Baker to open the seventh, Guer
rero and Yeager became the ninth tandem in Series
history to hit back-to-back homers.
“I didn’t even see Pete hit his home run,” said
Yeager. “I wasn’t thinking home run. Maybe the first
two swings looked like I was trying to hit it into the
parking lot, but I was just trying to make contact. ”
Cey, who left the hospital feeling dizzy and tired,
was struck in the eighth and suffered a mild concus
sion. The pitch rose at him at 94 mph but the helmet
took most of the blow and Cey, who began the Won
drous Weekend with a three-run homer Friday
night, left the field under his own power.
“I’m sorry,” Gossage told Cey in a visit to the
clubhouse. “The minute it left my hand I knew it was
trouble.”
The Yankees, for their part, have plenty of trou
bles. They went through a similar trial when they led
the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 in the American League
East playoffs then suddenly found themselves tied
2-2.

That’s when owner George Steinbrenner raised
the roof at an impromptu clubhouse meeting and the
Yankees responded with a victory in the deciding
game. Now they need twice as many victories.
“It’s no different than the Milwaukee series,” said
Jackson. “The next time you lose, it’s over.
Steinbrenner says the Yankees will rebound in
Game 6, when Burt Hooton goes for the clincher
against former Dodger Tommy John.
“It’s far from over,” said the owner. “They’re com
ing to Yankee Stadium and it will be tough.”

The TAMU Archery Club recently traveled to
Oklahoma City to compete in a qualifying tourna
ment for world competition. Bad weather serious
ly affected tournament conditions and few TAMU
club members were successful.
However, Forrest Parker, president of the Club
said there will be other tournaments and he was
pleased with the club’s performance considering
the circumstances.
The Archery Club, like all extramural sports,
receives some university funding through the In
tramural-Recreational Sports Department. The
additional money needed is partly raised by mem
bership fees ($15 per semester) and other ac
tivities. Parker stated that several major archery
equipment manufacturers have contacted him
TAMU Archery Club
about sponsoring the 30 member team, but noth
ing has been worked out yet.
The club travels extensively, including trips to
UT and LSU. The National Collegiate Cham
pionship is being held in New Jersey this year.
The top four male and female archers will be
going.
Parker is the number one archer in the state of
Texas in his division, and the TAMU Club came in
third in the nation overall last year. Among non
scholarship schools, Texas A&M is number one.
With top archers, Larry Perez and Cynthia Wetts,
they are expecting bit things again this year.
There are two tryouts every year, one per
semester, for more information contact Forrest
Parker.

New to the Intramural De
partment’s list of available
sports this fall was innertube
water basketball offered in
Mens, Womens, and CoRec di
visions.
The game is played with bas
ically the same rules as regular
basketball with the only differ
ences being that there are 6
players in a pool using a water
polo ball, while floating on an
innertube.
According to Marianna
McNamara, team captain of the
River Rats, the players seem to
love the sport because “every
one can play” and it is not real
competitive since there aren’t
hundreds playing the sport.
The shooting style is complete
ly different from basketball, so
you really have to learn to
shoot all over again.
Marianna also said that each
player is more or less equal
which keeps it fun. She was
quick to add that it really gives
your arms a workout.
Charles Cusack plays for the
“War Eagles”. He says inner-
tube water basketball is lots of
fun and wishes more teams
would enter, so his team could
play more games.
Lynette Ginn, Minor Team
Sports Coordinator was very
pleased with the twenty-five
team turn-out this fall. She ex
pects a great increase next year
in the number of teams due to
the players response thus far.
Bowling sin
gles competi
tion got
