Polo team set for national tourney
By JAN PERRY
Reporter
The Texas A&M women’s
polo team defeated the Retama
Polo club in San Antonio this
weekend in preparation for the
National Women’s Indoor In
tercollegiate Polo Tournament.
Itwas their first match on a reg
ulation size field.
The tournament, which will
keheld in Los Angeles April 9-
15, will include every women’s
collegiate polo team in the na-
m. Approximately 15 colleges
:ld women’s polo teams.
Although the team has little
competitive experience, team
captain Alayna Snell says she
las high hopes for the tourna
ment because of practice tech-
uiques.
Practice for the Aggie wom
en’s team is conducted along
with both male and female
members of the polo club, Snell
says, The South Africa native
says team members have been
putting in long hours of prac
tice on the indoor polo fields at
the animal pavillion.
The girls in Texas practice
with the guys,” Snell said. “It
toughens them up.”
And polo players need to be
aggressive, she says, because it is
adangerous sport.
She says the most common
player injury is sore funny
hones. Mallets occasionally hit
players on the elbow — an in
jury that usually puts them out
of the game.
Because injuries are so com
mon, Snell will be taking two al
ternates along with the team of
three players to Los Angeles.
Team member Susan Eas
terling says playing indoors is
more dangerous than playing
outdoors. Indoors, the ball is
moving much faster than out
doors. Outside, only the horses
are travelling fast.
The rules for indoor games
are also different than for out
door games.
In indoor games, Easterling
said, the field is only large
enough to use three players on
each team at a time. Four play
ers are used in outdoor games.
Another difference is in the
type of ball used.
An inflated ball during in
door games because the hard
outside ball would bounce all
over the small enclosed playing
field.
The game is divided into
four quarters, or chuckers as
they are called in polo, of 7.5
minutes each are provided for
in the rules of both indoor and
outdoor polo. Players exchange
tired horses for fresh ones dur
ing the recess between each
chucker.
During the Intercollegiate
games, the host school will pro
vide the horses.
“Ideally, each player will get
four horses each because they
work real hard and get sweat-
ty,” Easterling said.
But, she says, it is up to the
host school to decide and she
doesn’t know how many horses
the team will receive.
The number of horses they
will be given to use depends on
how many horses the other
team has, she said, adding that
it is a real disadvantage not
knowing anything about the
horses the team will be using
“The other team also decides
which horses to give,” Eas
terling said. “They can keep all
of the good ones for themselves
if they want to. I’m sure they
will be fair, though.”
The Texas A&M polo team
has 13 horses in their barn.
Eight of them they can ride and
the remainder are mares that
just foaled. The club is trying to
sell the foals. She said there are
also three horses that belong to
the players.
Most of the horses are do
nated to the team, Snell said.
The club members do not have
to have their own horse to play.
The team provides the horses
and tack. All they need is their
own equipment.

HOUSTON — Nolan Ryan
pitched seven innings and
scored what proved to be the
winning run Wednesday night
as the Houston Astros defeated
the Montreal Expos, 8-2.
Ryan was delighted to pick
up his team’s first win of the
season.
“After last year’s 0-9 start, we
were determined to start this
season well,” said the veteran
pitcher.
Ryan allowed only five hits,
struck out six and walked no
one to lead Houston to victory.
He scored the winning run
after reaching first on an error
and was chased home by out
fielder Terry Phul’s triple in the
sixth inning.
Hoston manager Bob Lillis
agreed wtih Ryan on the impor
tance of wining early if the As
tros are to be contenders in the
National League West.
“Everybody has been focus
ing on us to see how long it
would take us to win a game this
year,” he said. “We have a good
hitting club, and we’re gong to
win our share of games.”
The Astros clubbed out 10
hits, five of which went for ex
tra bases, and left only three
runners on base in the game.
Astros first baseman Ray
Knight, who doubled and sin
gled and drove in two Houston
runs, said the club never let
down its guard.
“Even when we had a 5-2
lead late in the game, we were
still nervous. Last year was still
on our minds.”
Trailing 2-1 entering the last
of the sixth, the Astros began
their comeback when Alan
Ashby led off with a single and
Pitcher Nolan Ryan
Ryan reached first safely on
Gullickson’s error on an at
tempted sacrifice bunt. After
Bill Doran popped up for the
first out, Puhl tripled to right-
center, chasing home Ashby
and Ryan.
Thon immediately followed
with his triple, scoring Puhl,
and Jose Cruz lined to center
for a sacrifice fly.
Houston added three more
runs in the eighth off reliever
Bob James. With one out, Thon
beat out an infield single for his
third hit, Cruz walked and Jerry
Mumphrey doubled both run
ners. Ray Knight followed with
a single to score Mumphrey and
chase James.
Montreal grabbed a 1-0 lead
in the second on Tim Wallach’s
RBI double, but the Astros tied
it with an unearned run in their
half of the inning as Pete Rose
dropped Cruz’s fly in left field.
