Texas A&M’s vollyball
played in a scrimmage game Tues
day night against Stephen F. Austin
State University that should get the
Aggies off to a good start.
“We played a really good scrim
mage for about two nours, but we
didn’t actually take score,” said
Terry Condon, Head Vollyball
Coach.
The scrimmage against Stephen
F. Austin was the first game the
women’s team played together in
two weeks.
“I was pleased with how they
played, but, we were real nervous,”
Condon said. “I was glad when they
calmed down early in the game.”
Condon said the Stephen F. Aus
tin game was a good preparation for
the upcoming Illinois State Volley-
ballTournament Aug. 31.
A&M will have to play a couple of
tough teams at the tourney such as
Illinois and Indiana, both of whom
are ranked in the nation’s Top 20.
“I’m expecting a lot out of them,”
the coach said, “and I think they’re
expecting a lot out of themselves.
“They believe in themselves and
know that they have to do well,”
Condon said. “I think they’ll do well
in the conference, maybe even the
(entire) NCAA.”
For the team to perform at its
peak, the coach said the players are
going to have to improve their serv
ice receiving, which was their main
weakness last season.
Condon said the Ags’ offensive
hitting is their main strength this
year.
“We have a lot more advanced
players this year,” she said, “so, we
can do more and try to mix things
up more.”
Last year, the team was made up
mostly of rookies. This year, they
will all be back again, but the 13-

players returning, the
coach said Sherri Brinkman, Marga
ret Spence, Chemine Doty, Chris Zo-
gata, and Lesha Beakley are espe
cially good volleyball players. She
said they were probably be among
the best m the conference in ’84.
Condon said the entire team plays
well together and possesses a lot of
talented personnel. Condon feels
these two ingredients should pro
vide the right chemistry for a suc
cessful 1984-85 campaign.
Condon predicts a 28-10 overall
record for the season and thinks the
team could well surpass that mark.
This year for the first time, an ad
mission of $2 for adults and $ 1 for
students will be charged. People with
all-sports ticket books can use them
to attend the games.

The Texas A&M Women’s
Softball team has been locked out of
a national championship for the last
two years because of injuries and a
lack of depth. But A&M Head
Coach Bob Brock said this season
should reverse that trend.
Two years in row the women’s
softball team has lost by one run,
making them runner-up to the na
tional champions. The Aggies lost
the national crown last season to
UCLA and in 1983 to Cal-State Ful
lerton.
At one point last year, the team
had a total of nine players who were
injured. A rash of injuries have been
avoided this year. Brock said, so the
Ags should make up for lost time.
Catcher Gay “Mac” McNutt, and
outfielder Ann Hadley, are out for
juries, but both players will be ready
in the spring.
This time last year there were a
few injuries, but Brock said the team
is “a lot healthier” this season.
Brock and his players say they are
very excited about the 1984-85
squad, even after only three prac
tices. McNutt said this is the best
group of players she’s seen at A&M.
“It’s (the team) got all the ingre
dients that makes for national
champs,” Brock said, “I’m excited
about the team’s potential.”
Brown is being used as a catcher
for the fall and Athanacio will be the
Aggies’ third pitcher. Brock thinks
that Athanicio, a left-hander , will
“solidify” the team’s pitching staff.
Athanacio said she wants to put as
much effort possible into pitching
for the Ags, hoping to gain added
experience by playing with a veteran
team.
lot of new freshmen,'” Brock said,“I
see a contender."
On this years team, the player to
watch for is Mary Schwind, the start
ing first baseman and a two-year
starter.
Brock says Schwind is a reserved and
relaxed player with All-American
potential.
Now that the Ags have three
pitchers and five new freshmain,
rock feels the team has strength

Fryar’s versatility impresses Patriots
United Press International
FOXBORO, Mass. — If Irving
Fryar had his way, he’d be playing
center field for the Philadelphia
Phillies instead of catching passes for
the New England Patriots.
“I always dreamed of being a pro
baseball player,” said Fryar. “I was
drafted by the Phillies but my coach
told them I wasn’t interested because
I was going to Nebraska to play foot
ball. He didn’t even talk to me about
Had he opted for baseball, Fryar
would not have gone on to an All-
America football career. Nor would
he have become the NFL’s No. 1
draft choice in 1984.
“I’ve been fortunate. Coming
from a big school like Nebraska was
definitely a big advantage. There
was so much more I could accompl
ish there than at a smaller school,”
said Fryar, whose start in the NFL
has been delayed by cracked ribs suf
fered in a pre-season game.
The Patriots like what they’ve
see.n of Fryar so far. He will divide
his time between handling punt re
turns and playing wide receiver and
H-back in the Patriots’ new one-back
offense.
“Irving has shown what an excit
ing player he can be,” said Patriots
Head Coach Ron Meyer. “He can
catch the ball, run well and block.
He’s everything we expected of
him.”
Frayar knows he has a lot to learn
about pro ball.
“It’s much more complex here
than our system at Nebraska,” said
Fryar. “It’s not so much that the
techniques are harder, hut rather a
matter of learning them.”
Fryar knows that as a No. 1 draft
choice a lot is expected of him. But
the Mount Holly, N.J., native says
that added pressure won’t affect his
play.
“Sure, being No. 1 means you
have an extra cross to bear, but I
think I can deal with it,” he said. “I
love playing football and it’s a matter
of me going out and doing what’s ex
pected of me.”
The Patriots signed Fryar to a
guaranteed 4-year, $2.4 million con
tract, but Fryar says he won’t let the
money affect him.
“I don’t feel like a millionaire,” he
said. “I’m happy because I can take
care of my parents.”
