By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB Battalion Staff Jim Butts and the Texas A&M L T niversity women’s soccer team have their work cut out for them. The Aggies’ first-year coach takes his squad to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women national tournament Wednesday to compete in a talented 12-team lineup. The tourney will take place Thursday through Sunday in Chapel Hill, N.C., with the championship match slated for 2 p.m. Sunday. After finishing their regular sea son Saturday with a 1-0 defeat of Sam Houston State Lhiiversity, the Aggies take a 12-0 record into the tournament. Texas A&M en ters the competition as the num ber 10 seed, while the University of North Carolina, at 20-0, is seeded number one. In Saturday s match with the Bearkats, Carol Gittinger scored the only goal as the Aggies over came two injuries to defeat what Butts called an aggressive SHSU team. Carol Smith, tied with Git tinger for the team lead in scoring with 11 goals, sprained a wrist in the match, while Becky Carpenter bruised a foot. However, Butts said the two will participate in the national tournament when the Aggies open against seventh-seeded Universi ty of Cincinnati Thursday at noon. Butts gave credit to SHSU, saying that the match provided the Aggies with a needed warmup match for the tourney. “Thev were much stronger than we expected. Butts said. “They had good passing. We had a lot of shooting, but we couldn’t get the ball in. Hopefully, that’s like the dress rehearsal before the big per formance.” The Lady Bearcats of Cincinnati bring a 10-2 record into the tour ney, having won the Region V tourney over the University of Wisconsin, which will also partici pate in this week’s tourney. The Badgers, the number nine seed, have a 15-4-1 record. Butts said the Aggies will face a tough squad in Cincinnati, but the team is prepared and confident. “They’re a long-shooting team. Butts said. “They fast break after the long shot. We think we’ve got a real good chance to make it through the first round. "Were probably in the best mental state we ve been in, and the girls are really anxious to bring some kind of award to Texas A&M.” first officially sanctioned by (If AIAW.

Cowboys still lose despite fact Lions had extra man AGrGIELAND H United Press International DALLAS — The score is fore ver recorded as 27-24 with Detroit having the 27. But there is nothing like a squabble over the officials to keep a game going far after the final whistle and there was a dandy of a eontroverv going in Dallas Mond ay. There was no disputing the fact that Detroit had 12 men on the field when Ed Murray kicked the field goal on the game s final play, a 47-yarder that gav e the Lions a critical win in the suddenly wide open race for the playoffs. “There is no recourse, said Cowboys px'esident and general manager Tex Schramm. “All you can do is to put it behind you. But Schramm himself fueled the* fire early Monday when, at least for a while, he thought there was some recourse. “We passed a resolution at our league* meeting last June, said Schramm. “And at first I thought this resolution might apply and I said that to some people. The re solution allows the commissioner to take action in case of extraordin ary interference that affects the game.” “Then, when I got to the office, I read that the policy would not be enacted if it was a case of a judgemental error or a routine error by the officials. Schramm also said, however, that the Cowboys could not dwell on the uncalled penalty. “That would be the danger that we face this week, he said. “The Washington Redskins (who come to town next Sunday) are red hot, they won in overtime Sunday and have won five of their last six. “The worst thing we could do is spend all week talking about that last play and totally forget about the fact that we played very poor football up there and that we had the game under control at one time and let it totally get away from us. That should frighten you a little when you are going into the stretch we are going into right now. FEOAT TO REEAX ACTION with WANT ADS DIETING?
