Andujar adds to Cards’
hand as Phils fold, 8-0
United Press International
All things considered, Joaquin Andujar
would rather pitch against Philadelphia.
“Sometimes you have good luck against
one club and you have no luck against
others,” Andujar said Wednesday night af
ter pitching the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-0
victory over the Phillies. “That’s baseball.
Sometimes you can’t figure out the game.”
The decision gave the Cards the rubber
game of a three-game series and upped
their lead in the NL East to 1 '/a games over
Philadelphia.
“We still have a long way to go,” Andujar
said. “Philadelphia is a good club, but we
have to beat everybody.”
George Hendrick drove in four runs
with a single and two sacrifice flies and
Andujar scattered three hits to raise his
mark this year over Philadelphia to 3-0.
Hendrick’s two-run single sparked a five-
run third inning off John Denny, 0-1, mak
ing his Phillies’ debut. Hendrick hit sacri
fice Hies to account for single runs in the
fifth and seventh.
Andujar, 13-10, who struck out four and
walked one, retired the first 12 batters he
faced and didn’t allow a hit until Manny
Trillo’s single with two out in the fifth.

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

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. They in
formed the league that as of
June 15 they would not
that right anymore.”

Cross country
Nix, Nelson say Aggies confident about 1982
by John P. 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.

Take Charge At 22.
In most jobs, at 22
you’re near the bottom
of the ladder.
In the Navy, at
22 you can be a leader.
After just 16 weeks
of leadership training,
you’re an officer. You’ll
have the kind of job
care of sophisticated
equipment worth
millions of dollars.
It’s a bigger chal
lenge and a lot more
responsibility than
most corporations give
you at 22. The rewards
are bigger, too. There’s
your education and training prepared
you for, and the decision-making au
thority you need to make the most of it.
As a college graduate and officer
candidate, your Navy training is geared
to making you a leader. There is no boot
camp. Instead, you receive professional
training to help you build the technical
and management skills you’ll need as a
Navy officer.
This training is
designed to instill
confidence by first
hand experience. You
learn by doing. On
your first sea tour,
you’re responsible for
managing the work of
up to 30 men and the
a comprehensive package of benefits,
including special duty pay. The starting
salary is $16,400 —more than most com
panies would pay you right out of college.
After four years, with regular promo
tions and pay increases, your salary will
have increased to as much as $29,800.
As a Navy officer, you grow, through
new challenges, new tests of your skills,
