Battalion/Page 15 October 7, 1982 sports Volleyball team in SWC lead Aggies spike Houston by John P. Lopez Battalion Staff A week ago the Texas A&M women’s volleyball team was un defeated when it went to Lin coln, Nebraska to play in a tour nament with four of the best vol leyball teams in the nation. The Aggie Ladies wanted to prove how good they really were, but they came back to Col lege Station winless in four games played at the Nebraska Invitational. The Texas A&M squad could have given up hope for the re cord season they hoped for and they could have lost their enthu siasm — but they didn’t. The four losses disapointed the Aggie Ladies, but they re sponded well by opening South west Conference play with two convincing wins over Rice and Houston. Texas A&M defeated the Rice Owls Monday night 16-14, 15-6 and 17-15 and then beat the Cougars 9-15, 15-9, 15-5 and 15- 9 last night. As usual, the key to the Aggie Ladies’ victory were the twin towers of Sherri Brinkman and Joey Vrazel who together accounted for most of Texas A&M’s points and spikes. Vrazel spiked 12 balls to the floor and Brinkman added nine. The Aggie Ladies travel to Baton Rouge this weekend.

In Washington, federal judge John G. Penn paved the way for the union to proceed with its plan for a series of All-Star games when he refused to rule on whether the standard NFL player contract is enforceable. Penn also ruled all league suits seeking to bar striking NFL players from the proposed games must be filed in U.S. Dis trict Court in Washington, rather than in local and state courts. Following Penn’s non decision, the NFLPA said the first of the All-Star games, ori ginally set for Sunday, will be played Oct. 17 in Washington’s RFK Stadium. In Buffalo, N.Y., representa tives from the Bills and the Tur ner Broadcasting System appeared briefly in state Sup reme Court, with attorneys for the broadcasting firm notifying the Bills they had filed papers seeking to have the matter re moved to federal court in Buf falo. Coach Jackie Sherrill said Wednesday that Aggie running backs Johnny Hector and Ear nest Jackson should play against the University of Houston in Saturday’s game in the Astro dome at 7 p.m. After watching both players practice with the team Wednes day, Sherrill said: “It looks like both Jackson and Hector should be ready to play against Houston. Neither one will start, but they will both play.” Jackson is still nursing strained knee ligaments sus tained in the Aggies’ season opener against Boston College, while Hector has been recover ing from a should separation suffered against the University of Texas-Arlington. Running back Thomas San ders, who badly sprained an ankle against Louisiana Tech two weeks ago, may not be ready to play in Saturday’s game. Senior tailback Mike Marshall will start alongside freshman fullback George Smith against the Cougars. The Aggies have gone through full-contact workouts each day this week in prepara tion for this week’s game. “This is the most hitting one of my teams has ever done dur ing the season in one week’s practice,” Sherrill said. In other Southwest Confer ence news, senior David Man- grum will replace Mike Brannan as the Baylor Bears’ starting quarterback against the SMU Mustangs Saturday.
