Rudd wins grand
nadonal race event
Rickey Rudd of Chesapeake, Va., grabbed the lead on the 3(kh
lap and held on to steer his 1982 Pontiac grand national entry to
(irst place Sunday in the Olobal Stralagraph 150, held at the Texas
World Speedway.
H.B. Bailey of Houston was second, followed by Bill Venturini
of Chicago.
Rudd, marking his first victory in grand national competition,
took over first place when leader Bobby Allison of Hueytown, Ala.,
was sidelined with engine trouble and was unable to finish the
75-lap event.
Allison had captured the lead on the 15th lap from Perry
Labonte of Corpus Christi, who was knocked out of the race with a
broken fuel line.
“It would have been tougher if Labonte and Allison had stayed
in,” said Rudd, who posted a 172-mph average.
Bay Darnell of Deerfield, Ill., finished behind Venturin and
Vaughn Brune of Houston was fifth.
The Texas A&M women’s
basketball team opened its sea

Jenni Edgar’s 12 points and
seven rebounds, the Aggie
Ladies outscored Southwestern
51-32 in the second half to erase
the Pirates’ 27-25 halftime lead.
Texas A&M shot only 26 per
cent from the field in the first
half, but managed 53 in the
second half to wind up shooting
39 percent for the night.
Southwestern, which con
nected on only 35 percent of its
shots for the game, was led by
Lela Robertson’s 14 points and
seven rebounds.
Texas A&M forward Kelly
Krauskopf had 11 points and
Janet Duckham had 10 points
and seven rebounds. The Aggie
Ladies outrebounded the Pi

In other weekend action, the

terfly and 200-meter free relay.
In Saturday’s dual meet, the
Aggies faced the Mustangs, who
have been selected by many to
win this year’s national cham
pionship. The Aggie men’s team
relied on two victories by Rick
Walker to give SMU all it could
handle before the Mustangs fin
ally won 60-5 1.
Walker, 7’exas A&M’s top in
dividual swimmer, won the
1,000-meter freestyle with a
time of 9:27.28, and then won
the 500-meter freestyle with a
4:38.64. The Aggies also won
the 400-meter medley relay, as
Kevin Londrigan, Mark Vimi-
nitz, Chris O’Neil and Craig
Buchmann combined for a
clocking of 3:28.20 to outdis
tance SMU’s “A” team by more
than two seconds.
Texas A&M’s Scott Reeder
won the 200-meter individual
medley with a time of 1:56.54.
The Mustangs defeated the
Aggie women’s team 73-40, as
Texas A&M could manage vic

3:39.37.

ranked Indiana University
Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Downs
Natatorium. Indiana, the alma
mater of Aggie coach Mel Nash,
has been a national power for
the past 23 years and was NCAA

Nash won eight Big Ten Confer
ence titles, was a 15-time NCAA
all-America, a member of the

1975 world championships.
None of Gounsilman’s former
swimmers have ever beaten an
Indiana team.

volleyball team, ranked No. 13
in the latest NCAA poll, lost two
matches and won one in the
Tennessee Invitational over the
weekend. The Aggies, who de

30-8 season record, will host the

The Longhorns, whose only
league loss came at the hands of
the Aggie Ladies, have a 25-14
overall record and a 6-1 SWC
record.
If Texas A&M wins Satur
day’s contest, it will clinch the
SWC title and an automatic
berth in the NCAA tourney, to
be held Dec. 17-18 in Stockton,
Calif. If the Aggie Ladies lose,
the two teams will share the
championship and a playoff will

Texas qualified for the, NCAA
national meet, to be held Mon
day in Bloomington, Ind. The
Aggies qualified for the meet for
the first time since 1970.
“This meet was an outstand
ing team effort,” Texas A&M
coach Ted Nelson said. “Our
goal at the beginning of the sea
son was to qualify for nationals.
Our kids had to compete over
their heads and they did. We
beat some very fine teams, teams
TANI
with outstanding ability,
runners did more than
necessary to win.”
