United Press International
BOSTON — The Boston Red
Sox gave manager Ralph Houk
a 6-4 victory for his 64th
birthday.
The team handed Houk the
present Tuesday, snapping a
three-game losing streak in the
win over the Texas Rangers.
While giving up nine hits John
Tudor, 10-7, struck out eight
and pitched his sixth complete
game of the season.
“John hung in there pretty
good,” Houk said. “He didn’t
have his best stuff. It’s good we
got a complete game because
Doug Bird and Louis Aponte
were the only guys out in the
bullpen who were rested.”
“In the first three innnings he
had great control,” said catcher
Gary Allenson, who watched
Tudor retire the first nine bat
ters. “He only threw one curve
ball the first three innings.
“He went with his best stuff,
the fastball and the change-up.
The big change with John this
year is he has confidence in him
self. Once he found out what a
great fastball he has, he learned
to rely on it.”
Ranger outfielder Billy Sam
ple, who hit his 12th homer in
the ninth, said Tudor is “one of
the premier pitchers in this
league. I tell you he threw some
good sinkers and changeups
that had me baffled.”
Tony Armas hit his 24th
home run to tie Milwaukee’s
Cecil Cooper and the White Sox’
Ron Kettle for the league lead,
and Glenn Hoffman had three
hits to drive in two runs.
On Hoffman, Houk said, “I
like him in that ninth spot. It’s
almost like having a good
leadoff hitter at the bottom of
the lineup.”
Hoffman said he is being
more selective in hitting. “I feel
I’ve been a lot more consistent.”
Rick Honeycutt, 14-7, took
the loss for the Rangers.

Willie Wilson had four hits and
two RBI to help lead the Royals
past the Brewers. Wilson also hit

A&M student closer to Olympics
with spot in Pan American Games
by Rose Delano
Battalion Reporter
Alayna Snell is one step closer
to competing in the 1984 Olym
pics.
Snell, a senior animal science
major at Texas A&M, will be
representing the Virgin Islands
at the Pan American Games in
Venezuela this August.
“I’m real spiked up about it
because this is the biggest game
there is besides the Olympics,”
she said.
Snell been training at Fort
Sam Houston since May, and
was told last week that she had
qualified in three events and
maybe a fourth.
“It’s all big news to me,” she
said. “I’m still celebrating.”
The native of South Africa
will compete in the 200-meter
race, 800-meter race and foil
style fencing. She is tied in qual
ification for the 400-meter race.
A transfer student from the
College of the Virgin Islands,
Snell came to Texas A&M on a
track scholarship last fall but was
unable to compete due to an in-
jury.
Snell’s brother Leland has
been helping her train for the
Pan American games. She said
he was next after her in qual
ifying to compete in fencing at
the games.
“He’s been helping me a lot,”
she said. “He coaches me on the
sideline.”
Snell, who has been fencing
for a year, said that her height —
she’s only 5-2 — is a definite
advantage.
“It’s good for fencers to be
short,” she said, “because you
can get in. Long people have a
disadvantage. You think if
someone is tall they can lunge in
and get you, but usually a short
person is quicker.”
Snell has been running since
she was 15, when she gave up
horse riding.
She lived on a horse farm in
South Africa until she was 18,
and she said that she misses the
horses. She hopes to go into
breeding and training of horses
after she graduates.
Snell said that a couple of
years before she knew her fami
ly was going to leave South Afri
ca she dropped horse riding and
changed to running.
“I’m a rider,” she said. “That’s
my best sport.”
She’s a member of the Texas
A&M Polo Club. She said that
she would like to compete in
show jumping, but can’t afford;
it.
Snell participates in many
sports. When she was at the
Jacksonville University in Flor
ida she was a member of a row
ing crew. She has also competed”
in net ball, a version of basket
ball, while living in the Virgin
Islands. She enjoys waterskiing,
wind surfing and scuba diving.
“You name it, I do it,” she
said. “The only sports I haven’t
tried are winter sports because I
have lived in hot countries.”
