No-hitters are supposed to be
rare, but Aggie softball pitcher
Shawn Andaya already had six
of those this season. Perfect
games are extremely rare, but
now Andaya has pitched one of
those too. She didn’t allow any
hits or walks and didn’t hit a
batter, and defeated visiting
McNeese Stale 9-0.
Andaya was in total control
the entire game. She struck out
twelve batters and seldom al
lowed the count to get past two
balls to any one batter.
Coach Bob Brock said fresh
man Andaya has a great future
ahead of her.
“She is on a course for a lot of
individual awards in collegiate
softball,” Brock said.
However, that game was one
of the few that the Aggies didn’t
need great pitching. A&M’s of
fense provided 13 hits in scor
ing the nine runs during the
first game of the doubleheader.
Judy Trussell led A&M with
three RBI’s, Cindy Foster and
Gaye McNutt each had two
RBI’s.
The strong offensive show
ing was a pleasent surprise for
Brock, especially after this past
weekend.
Playing in the Louisiana
Tech tournament, A&M lost
two straight games by the score
of 1-0. The first loss was to
Nicholls State and the second
was to host Louisiana Tech. hi
the game against La. Tech., An*
daya allowed just one hit, but
lost on two errors in the twelfth
inning.
After exploding for the nine
runs in the first game against
McNeese State, the Aggie bats
fell quiet in the second game;.
The women didn’t score until
the sixth inning when third
basemen Cindy Cooper singled
home shortstop Judy Trussell.
The team added another run in
the same inning on a McNeese
State error with the basejs
loaded.
Yvette Lopez gave up just
two hits and two walks to pick
up the win in the second game.
A&M’s record now stands at 37;-
12.

BOSTON — Englishman Ge
off Smith, running only his sec
ond marathon, won the rain-
drenched 88th Boston Mar
athon Monday, easily beating
his nearest challenger by more
than four minutes.
Smith, 30, finished in
2:10:34, just 1:43 off the Bos
ton record set by Alberto Sala
zar in 1982. Smith said before
the race that his winning was
crucial if he was to make the
British Olympic team.
As Smith turned the final
corners, thousands of rain-
drenched fans cheered him on.
He was nearly a mile ahead of
his nearest challenger when he
crossed the finish line.
Smith said after the race, “I
ran as I felt. I thought (over the
first five miles) ‘I’ve got to con
trol myself.’
His time at the half-mar
athon mark was 1:04:14, giving
him an average of less than five
minutes per mile at that point!
He slowed between the 15- and
20-mile marks when he knew he
was well in the lead.
Smith maintained a 2:10:00
pace through the first 15 miles
The wheelchair competition
was won by Andre Viger of
Rock Forest, Quebec,
time of 2:05:20.

Mavericks finally make it to playoffs

DALLAS — The Dallas Mav-
ricks, who over the course of
bur seasons have stormed from
he depths of the NBA to a level
|hat exceeds even their own am-
iitions, embark on their first
rip ever into post-season play
onight.
Dallas will host the Seattle Su-
t ersonics in the opening game
jji )f their best-of-five, first-round
playoff series — the tipoff for
Miich is set for 7 p.m.
r “We’re playing well,” said
nelit lallas coach Dick Motta, whose
m earn clinched the home-court
idvantage with a road win over
Los Angeles last Friday night.
■Winning the home floor is a
Teat accomplishment for this
I dead« Sam. Nobody expected us to do
lid jnything like it this year.”

played at Dallas’ Reunion
Arena Thursday night, after
which the teams move to Seattle
for games on Saturday af
ternoon and, if necessary, the
following Tuesday night.
If (he series goes a full five
games, the deciding contest will
be played in Dallas on the night
of Thursday, April 26. That
game, however, would not be
played on the Mavericks’ home
floor because Reunion Arena
will be hosting the World
Championship of Tennis finals.
Instead, the game would be
played at Moody Coliseum on
the campus of Southern Meth
odist University. Reunion
Arena seats 17,000 people while
Moody can accomodate fewer
than 10,000.
The expansion Mavericks
won just 15 games in their inau
gural season of 1980-81,
claimed 28 victories the next
year and 38 the next. This sea
son the club put together an
early eight-game winning
streak, finished with 43 wins,
wound up with the fourth best
record in the Western Confer
ence and had the fourth largest
attendance in the NBA.
All of this progress was made
without a true center in the
lineup.
Seattle, meanwhile, finished
in fifth place in the west at 42-
40. That record is down from
the Sonics’ 48-34 mark last year
and 52-30 finish in 1982.
The Sonics, however, won
four of their five meetings with
Dallas during the regular sea
son and have a decided experi
ence edge in post-season com
petition. This marks the sixth
time in the last seven years
Seattle has made the playoffs
and over that stretch the Sonics
have won nine series and lost
four.
The Mavericks have only two
players who have ever particij
pated in a playoff game.
“You have to remember,
though,” said Motta, “that these
kids have played in big games in
college before. This should not
be overwhelming.
“I have spent the last month
trying to prepare them for it. I
hope they are ready. I think
they will respond.”
Dallas has had its problems
dealing with the inside strength
of the Sonics in the person of
center Jack Sikma. The Maver
icks will rely chiefly on the 1-2
scoring punch of Mark Aguirre
and Rolando Blackman, who
combined to average 50 points
per game this year.

IF THERE'S LEADERSHIP IN YOU
OCS CAN BRING IT OUT.
OCS (Army Officer Candidate
School) is a 14'week challenge to all
that’s in you... the mental, the physical,
the spirit that are part of what makes
a leader.
If OCS were easy, it couldn’t do
the job. It wouldn’t bring out the leader
in you, or help you discover what
you have inside.
But when you finish and
graduate as a commissioned officer in
the Army, you’ll know. You’ll know
you have what it takes to lead. And
you’ll be trim, alert, fit, and ready to
exercise the leadership skills that
civilian companies look for.
If you’re about to get your degree and you want to develop your leadership ability, take the
OCS challenge.
Call your local Army Recruiter, and ask about OCS.
CPT West will be on campus April 16 and 17 between 8 AM and 4 PM in the University Placement
Office (10th Floor, Rudder Tower). Stop by, no appointment necessary. If you can't make it these
days, contact SFC Woody, US Army Recruiting, Bryan, Texas 775-2199.
ARMY. BE ALL YOU CAN BE.
