Phillips as Saint signs Fritsch ace kicker av P 1 United Press International NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints have signed Toni Fritsch, a 12-year NFL veteran place-kicker, to replace rookie Morten Anderson, who was placed on injured reserve. Fritsch, 37, enters the season with 738 career points and needs just 19 to be listed among the league’s top 20 scorers. Saints spokesman Rusty Kas- miersky says Fritsch will see ac tion during Sunday’s bout with the Chicago Bears. During a workout with the Saints Tuesday, Fritsch hit 23 of 24 field goals. He missed the first when lightning flashed and thunder clapped overhead. “Bum called me not for a try out, because he knows what I can do,” Fritsch said. “If he need me, I be delighted to put a lot of points on the scoreboard for him. I put around 400 up for fh wa:| urn. him in five years at Houston Salary was “75 percent of the reason” the veteran kicker was cut by the Oilers, Fritsch claimed, adding “they say it was my age, but that is bull.” Kasmiersky said Fritsch would be paid “his last year’s sal ary or the minimum,” but did not mention a dollar figure. “We can’t negotiate because we are at odds with the union,” he said. “As a union, they have the right to negotiate for mem bers of the union.

Lopez Battalion Staff When the Texas A&M men’s and women’s cross country teams open the 1982 season to day, both teams will field inex perienced, young and untested runners. But coaches Bill Nix and Ted Nelson say the inexperience shouldn’t make a difference. In fact, they can’t wait for the meet to start. “I think we’re ready to see how they (the team) perform in a meet,” women’s coach Bill Nix said. “Being a young team, we’re anxious to see how we react when there are other teams run ning with us.” Six of the runners on the women’s team are freshmen. “That shouldn’t make a dif ference because most of our best runners are freshmen,” he said. “Right now, Esther Dedrick is our number one runner. She’s come in first in all of our time trials this year, so I expect good things from her.” Nix also said, however, that the team will not be without ex perienced runners. Marilee Matheny, the Aggies top finisher in the NCAA cham pionships last year and an All- America hopeful, will be back, as will Lisa McCorstin, a runner that has impressed Nix this fall. “Lisa has really improved over the summer,” he said. “She has finished second behind De drick in all of our time trials this have a lot better team concept this year so our expectations are high.” Despite high expectations, Nelson says the Aggies are not quite on the level of other teams this year. year. The entire team is much bet ter than last year, Nix said. In fact, he predicts only good re sults from the women’s team. “Our ultimate goal is to win the Southwest Conference championship,” he said. “And with this bunch I think we just might be able to do it.” Ted Nelson, on the other hand, doesn’t predict a cham pionship for the men’s team, but he says the team is not without standout performers. “We don’t have any one run ner that is outstanding” he said, “but we do have a team that has good, solid runners on it. Any one of four or five people could end up having an excellent year. Our number one runner right now is Jimmie Sterling, but Jim Stark, Jim Bolton or Aaron Ramirez could also do well. We “Arkansas always has good runners and Rice and Baylor should also be good,” he said, “but we’re a good solid team and we expect to be pretty high in the standings. I think the meet Thursday should be a good test for us even though we’re not quite in the shape I’d like us to be in.” The meet will be held at the Texas A&M golf course and will start at 6 p.m. for the women and 7:30 p.m. for the men.
