Money limits club's abilities
Aggie wrestlers pinned
By THERESA CORNELL
Reporter
For the Texas A&M state championship
wrestling team, it’s practice as usual and
high hopes for the future, even though lack
of money kept it from participating in the
national meet.
The Aggies won the state team title in
San Marcos last month and brought home
four individual championships as well. The
state-ranked team members were eligible to
compete in the national tournament in
New York, but had to stay home.
Coach Joe DeBella says his team mem
bers could not participate in the national
meet or in Varsity Level II, a program that
gives wrestlers a chance to compete in the
NCAA, because not enough funds are des
ignated for club sports.
“We are having to pass up these tremen
dous opportunities for minor sports be
cause there is not enough money,” he said.
DeBella says the team has produced six
state champions in two years. And in three
years of competition in state meets, the
team has returned with a third, fourth and
now first place ranking with the highest
number of winners.
State champions from the San Marcos
meet are sophomore middleweight Robbie
Ward, who was also named outstanding
wrestler; junior middleweight Drew Frank
lin; sophomore lightweight Dan Irving;
and senior lightweight Tom Mariman.
Four third place titles were captured by
four sophomores, heavyweight Pat Cox,
middleweight Mark Boehm, middle-heavy-
weight Clayton Miller, and lightweight Jeff
ery Schieck. Sophomore heavyweight Huey
Lynn earned a fourth place title.
“This school has tremendous potential
for wrestling and we’ve been very apprecia
tive for the support of the athletic depart
ment,” DeBella said. “I hope wrestling will
become a part of the varsity athletic pro
gram again.”
Wrestling, a varsity sport two years ago,
is now a dub sport and part of the intramu
ral program.
But DeBella said he is pleased with the
advent of Varsity Level II sports and added
that he hopes some of the revenue gener
ated by major sports — primarily football
— will be filtered down through some of
the smaller sports.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m a great sup
porter of football,” he said, “but I would
also like to have a varsity sport in which
guys of all sizes can compete.”
Despite the set-backs of no funds, no na
tional meet and no Varsity Level II, prac
tice continues six days a week for the 30-
member team. DeBella says the men follow
a weight training program that includes
one hour of high intensity wrestling per
day. Weight lifting, in addition to the daily
wrestling, is also part of the training pro
gram.

booster groups in United States
basketball history when he con

Knight, who coached the
United States Pan American
gold medal team in 1979, will

summer against an interna

some of the best foreign players
of the decade.
As a college basketball coach,
Knight has more than 300 victo

he has fashioned an enviable
247-84 record since Indiana
hired him as head coach in
1972.
With all this experience

“This is everybody’s basket
ball team,” Knight said Monday
when he was named winner of
the Kodak-National Invitation
Tournament Man of the Year
award.
“I want the NBA, NCAA,
NAIA and other organizations
to think of this as ‘our team’ and
support it. We have an excellent
opportunity to bring basketball
to a height the world has never
seen. This is a sport invented in
this country and we’re going for
a gold medal in an Olympics
hosted by this country.
“I think to be an American
and represent the U.S. this
Summer is a tremendous expe
rience for all of us. I want to see
everybody gather in Los An
geles and root for us.”
Knight said the Olympic
team, when it is formed after
trials, will play a 6-8 game series
against an team of NBA All
Stars. He said a July 9 game in
Indianapolis’ Hoosier Dome is
expected to draw a capacity
crowd of 70,000.
“We’re going to follow the
1979 Pan American guideline
for the Olympic team,” Knight
said, “which consisted of three
guards, two centers and seven
forwards. We want guards who
can pick up defensively at
three-quarter court. The for
wards have to pressure the pass
ers and the post players have
got to be better defensively than
offensively.
“Everybody has to be able to
shoot baskets and rebound.
They must be able to inter
change positions. In 1979, Ke
vin McHale (now with the Bos
ton Celtics) was picked as a
forward, but played center.”
Knight said a committee con
sisting of regional chairmen
John Thompson of George
town, Dean Smith of North
Carolina, Tom Apke of Colo
rado (all coaches) and Frank
Arnold of Brigham Young, will
name 48-64 players who will be
invited to the April 16-22 trials
in Bloomington, Ind. The team
will be cut to 28-30 players and
after a pair of double-headers
involving four teams on April
21-22, a 16-man squad will be
selected.
“We’ll work with these 16 for
a specified time and finally re
duce the number to 12 for the
Olympics,” Knight said.
Asked about his philosophy
as an Olympic coach, Knight
said, “It’s never to lose. As a col
lege coach you lose a game and
it doesn’t hurt, unless it’s to Vir
ginia on a Saturday and you get
knocked out of the Final Four.”
Yugoslavia, the 1980 Moscow
gold medalist, silver medalist
Italy and the host United States
are the only countries gaining
automatic entries for the bas
ketball competition in the 1984
Olympics.
