Aggie badminton tea
wants ‘Phamtastic’ yec
By TAMARA BELL
Sports Writer
Although badminton has yet to
surpass baseball as the nation’s fa
vorite pastime, the sport is gain
ing popularity among both col
lege and professional persons as a
challenging physical activity.
The Texas A&M Badminton
Club recognizes the benefits of
this game and, as a goal within
the group, strives to inform more
persons of the psychological and
physical advantages derived from
badminton.
“Our goal is to familiarize oth
ers with the procedures of the
game,” club president James
Pham said. “Badminton is very
similar to tennis in respect to the
court and equipment used. There
is a growing awareness of the
sport, especially in the north and
Canada, but it’s still not taken as
seriously as the more traditional
sports such as football and basket
ball.” '
At A&M, those who play bad
minton take the game very se
riously.
The club has won four trophies
in each of the eight college divi
sion tournaments played last se
mester. A September 21 tourney
in Houston presents no major
problems for returning players
Pham, Steve Bong, Swie Bong,
Dave Moral, and Kristina Le.
Pitted against such opponents as
the University of Texas, Baylor
University, and Houston-area
badminton club, the A&M team
should capture first in both men’s
singles and doubles.
“Both the men’s singles and
doubles appears strong because
of the returning players," Moral
said. "Unfortunately, last year’s
frontrunners Sally Cole and Ruby
Arizmendez will not be returning
to the women's singles and dou
bles so the women’s team is cur
rently recruiting for upcoming
tournaments."
The open division is a higher
level of tournament competition.
To win this tournament marks
a class A player. Although mem
bers of the A&M team aren’t fa
vored to advance to the semi-fi
nals, Pham is expected to reach
the third or fourth round.
“It’s difficult to advance in this
higher level of competition,”
Pham said. “Because the best
players on our team are of the
same caliber, we needtocon
against superior organizaiKt
order for us to improvt l
though we realize we will*
win these tournaments,jus
experience of playing sor.'
on a higher level than oust
makes it worthwhile.”
The club welcomes all y
who exhibit an interest iij

DALLAS — In a time of need the
Dallas Cowboys turned to a former
enemy Thursday and at the same
time gave Danny White at least part
of his old job back.
The Cowboys, who had 14 new
comers to their roster when they
played the Los Angeles Rams last
Monday night, added two more
Thursday — wide receivers Harold
Carmichael and Waddell Smith.
For 13 years the 6-foot-8 Carmi
chael plagued the Cowboys and the
rest of the National Football League
while becoming the most prolific re
ceiver in the history of the Philadel
phia Eagles.
Carmichael, 34, still holds the
NFL record for most consecutive
games with at least one reception —
127.
“It’s going to be different being a
Cowboy,” said Carmichael. “But all I
want is the opportunity to earn a liv
ing and I’m happy to be here.”
Smith played for eight years with
the Edmonton Eskimos of the Ca
nadian Football League, serving as
the top receiver for Warren Moon.
Smith was among the last cuts of the
Los Angeles Raiders this season.
The Cowboys were in need of im
mediate wide receiver help since
they were already thin at that posi
tion when the season began and be
cause veteran Tony Hill separated
his right shoulder in Dallas’ 20-13
win over the Los Angeles Rams last
Monday night.
Dallas had traded away receiver
Butch Johnson during the offseason
and had lost Drew Pearson to retire
ment. Following Hill’s injury the
Cowboys had only three wide receiv
ers on the roster and just one who
had played with the team last year.
The new Dallas receivers will join
rookie Kirk Phillips as backups for
starters Doug Donley and Mike
Renfro.
To make room for the two receiv
ers the Cowboys placed Hill on the
injured reserve list, which will pre
vent him from returning to the team
for at least four weexs, anti cut

The departure of Miller leaves the
Dallas punting chores up to White,
who for seven of his eight years with
the Cowboys served as the team’s
punter.
White lost his starting quarterback
job to Gary Hogeboom as the season
started and Hogeboom promptly
threw for 343 yards in his debut
against the Rams.
“Punting won’t take the place of
quarterbacking,” said White. “But I
want to do anything I can to contrib
ute. I don’t plan to burn out my leg
