Texas A&M volleyball
coach Terry Condon hasn’t
been pleased with her team’s
past two performances, even
though the Aggies beat South
western University here Tues
day night.
A&M won by scores of 10-
15,15-10, 15-8 and 15-9, but
Condon wasn’t happy.
“I think our performance
carried over from the
weekend,” Condon said after
the game. She was referring to
last weekend’s massacre at the
University of Nebraska tour
nament, where the Aggies
won only five out of 22 games.
“We been suffering from a
lack of intensity,” Condon
said. “And I don’t think we’re
in good enough shape. We’ve
been getting tired lately and
we’ve made some stupid mis
takes.”
A&M looked tired in their
match against Southwestern.
“They (Southwestern) real
ly slowed the match down,”
Condon said. “And then we
started doing it — we lost our
pace."
Good performances from
hitters Linda Clausen and
Margaret Spence and middle
blocker Chemine Doty helped
the Aggies overcome the slow
er Southwestern squad.
Clausen finished the even
ing with 12 spikes on 28
attempts, and Spence had 15
spikes on 30 tries. Both
Clausen and Spence helped
carry a weary-looking Aggie
team.
Doty was impressive also. “I
just relaxed and decided to
play,” said Doty, who finished
with 10 spikes on 16 attempts
for a .500 hitting percentage.
Most of those snots came in
the last game.

Doty also led a 10-3 surge in
the second game that helped
the Ags put that one away.
And she came back in the
final game to almost single-
handedly defeat a stubborn
Southwestern defensive unit.
After being down 9-6, the Pi
rates came back to tie the
score, 9-9, after three straight
net serves by the Aggies.
But Doty led the attack with
several savage spikes to put
the game out of reach with a
13-9 surge.
The Aggies were lucky
Doty was hot — because the
rest of the team wasn’t.
“Our overall game has been
pretty good," Condon said.
“We’ve been playing well in
practice, but we’ve been mak
ing mental mistakes in our
games.
“We need to get our intensi
ty back,” Condon said.
And they’ll need to do it
quickly — they play the Uni
versity of Texas Monday. UT
has a 10-1 season record —
A&M is 9-9.
And UT is just now coming
off a big win at California.
“They won second at Cal,”
Condon said, “and there were
five of the top 10 teams in the
country at that tournament.”
UT’s only loss was in the final
— they lost 16-14 to Stanford.
The match is set for 7:30
p.m. Monday.

Rich man
Celtics, Bird agree on $15 million contract
United Press International
BOSTON — The Boston Cel
tics and Larry Bird put the
finishing touches on a deal
Tuesday making the consensus
All-Pro forward one of the high
est paid athletes in history at
more than $2 million a year.
While the Celtics and Bird’s
attorney, Bob Woolf, were clos
ing the deal over the telephone,
the team also was trying to
appease Robert Parish, who is
unhappy with his $650,000-a-
year deal and is threatening to
stay out of training camp, which
begins Friday.
Bird’s deal is a seven-year
pact in excess of $ 15 million and
contains no incentives. For that
reason, it may be even more luc
rative than Moses Malone’s $13
million pact over six years,
which includes some $300,000
per year in incentives.
The Celtics reportedly were
planning a news conference
Wednesday to announce Bird’s
: signing. Tney also have a train-
iing camp media day scheduled
Thursday.
Woolf and Bird had set Oct. 1
as the deadline to complete the
deal.
Bird is entering the fifth year
of his original $3.25 million con
tract and did not want the con
tract to be an issue this season.
Had he not agreed by then, he
was prepared to become a free
agent.
The negotiations between
Woolf and General Manager
Red Auerbach, who met six
times, were stalled until the
team’s new owners received
NBA approval last Friday. The
owners, Woolf, Auerbach and
Bird all met and the deal was
completed.
“We’ve made a great deal of
progress,” Woolf said. “I don’t
want to say anything more than
that.”
Celtics vice president and
team counsel Jan Volk would
only say that the two sides are
still talking.
With Bird in hand, the Celtics
also were working to keep Parish
from holding out for more
money. The 7-foot-center, who
has three years remaining on his
contract, wants his salary up
graded to the $1 million-a-year
mark or go elsewhere.
“They have a choice in this,”
Parish was quoted in Tuesday’s
Boston Globe. “They can discuss
it with me or they can trade me.
If nothing is done, I will stay out
of camp. Period.”
Parish’s new agent, Wayne
Traynham, met with Volk for
about 30 minutes Tuesday and
was informed the Celtics do not
intend to renegotiate Parish’s
contract.
“Our position is very clear
and will remain unaltered. We^
intend to honor our end of
Robert’s contract and we hope
he will do the same,” Volk said.
Traynham, who has been Par
ish’s agent for only three days,I
was not immediately available
for comment.
Parish signed his new deal two
years ago and in so doing elected
to avoid free agency and a poss
ibly more lucrative deal. He said
at that time he did so because he
enjoyed being with the Celtics
and with a winner.
Parish was upset that team
mate Kevin McHale, who has
three years in the league, recent
ly signed a four-year, $4 million
deal, asking, “How can you pay a
non-starter more than a
starter?”
CBS plans regional airing
Hogs, Frogs move for television
United Press International
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
Arkansas and Texas Christian
University have agreed to start
Saturday’s football game at 11
a.m. to allow CBS to televise it on
a regional basis.
University of Arkansas offi
cials were notified Monday
night that the network had pick
ed the Southwest Conference
opener for the Hogs as one of its
regional telecasts For Saturday.
Arkansas head coach Lou
Holtz said the change of starting
times — the game originally was
scheduled for 7:30 p.m.—could
have an effect on how his team
will play.
“The game will be a lot hotter
in the afternoon than it would be
at night,” Holtz said after Tues
day’s practice. “Conditioning
could be a factor.”
Holtz also said the practice
had produced hope that his
offense had improved signifi
cantly since its pitiful showing in
last Saturday’s 13-10 loss to Ole
Miss. The Hogs got just 56 yards
on 36 running plays.
“Marcus Elliot and Phillip
Boren have really come along on
the offensive line the past two
days,” the head coach said. “Billy
Warren had a good day at tail
back and (linebacker) Mike Cast
leberry made some good tackles
on defense.”
The Hogs still are looking for
a dependable running back.
Warren averaged 5.6 yards two
weeks ago in a win over New
Mexico, but did not play last
week. Holtz said he was ex
pected to see a lot of action
Saturday in Fort Worth.
“It was a good work day,”
Holtz said of Tuesday’s practice.
“I’m very pleased with the way
the players are responding.” He
added “There was real intensity
today.”
