The Gamblers, who won both their exhibition season games and an unofficial scrimmage against San Antonio, meet Tampa Bay at 12:30 p.m. Sun day in Tampa Stadium. “I’m thrilled with the pro gress,” Pardee said at the season kickoff luncheon. “All aspects of our game can score points. Our defense has done a super job. And I expect our special teams to be among the best in the country. “We had a great camp. We’ve got a very talented group of youngsters. They’re like sponges. They absorb every thing you throw at them.” Pardee said the main objec tive was to get former Univer sity of Miami quarterback Jim Kelly ready and that was accom plished. “Jim Kelly got the work he needed,” Pardee said. Pardee said even though the Gamblers beat Oklahoma 34-7 and Jacksonville 34-22 — and San Antonio 19-17 in an unoffi cial scrimmage — the Tampa Bay Bandits will be a big chal lenge. “Tampa has a very good team,” Pardee said. “Gary An derson, the running back from Arkansas, is a triple threat. Eric Truvillion was second in receiv ing in the league last year. “John Reaves is their quar terback and we’ll have to pres sure him to have success,” Par dee said. “They were a good team last year and they’ve im proved their personnel.” The Gamblers are starting their first regular season with three games on the road. “It’s tough to start with your first three games on road but that will even out as the season progresses,” Pardee said. “It’s better to open in Tampa than Chicago. At least it’ll be warm in Tampa.

Aggies ready for new seasoi By BOB CASTER Sports Writer Coach Tom Chandler and his Texas Aggie baseball team will open the 1984 season today with a doubleheader against St. Mary’s University of San Anto nio. The first game will start at 1 p.m. at Olsen Field. Chandler, coaching his 26th season at A&M, is anxious to get the ’84 schedule underway after a disappointing season last year in which the Aggies finished in the Southwest Conference cel lar with a 4-17 conference fin ish. “We are excited about the opening of the season,” Chan dler said.“The players are really anxious to get started.” The Aggies won 16 of their first 20 games in 1983 and started conference action off with a double win over TCU. But then the ballclub fell on hard times, winning only two more SWC games. Chandler sees something different in this year’s team, though. “We are encouraged by the effort the players put out this fall,” he said. “The players were much more dedicated and worked hard. It was more of a team effort — “we” instead of diet doesn’t call thisari ing year.

We tell the de fense, ‘Hold them under 20 points and we’ll win it for you.’ “I’m confident I can hit my receivers and with a running threat like Sam Harrell it really opens up our passing game,” Kelly said. United Press International SEATTLE — Two prosti tutes told police they were sex ually assaulted by seven pro spective prq football players, who were among more than 200 top college seniors in town last weekend for a workout with four NFL teams. The Seattle City Attorney’s office said Tuesday it had just received the reports of the po lice investigation into the case and was still considering what charges, if any, to file. The alleged sexual offense occurred in the downtown Sheraton Hotel, where 226 players likely to be high draft choices in this year’s NFL draft were slaying. A police report also said a man identifying himself as Gil Brandt, vice president of the Dallas Cowboys, encountered officers in the hotel during the initial investigation and talked to them about dropping their inquiry. A Seattle police spokes man said Brandt later cooper ated with police investigating the incident. The football prospects were put through tests for speed and agility at the Kingdom Thursday, Friday andSaii and interviewed by from the Cowboys, Seatti hawks, Buffalo Bills aoi Francisco 49ers.
