I think he’s taken enough snaps. It’s proba bly more of a plus because the play ers have responded well around him.” Stump echoed Sherrill’s feelings about his early season playing time. “It will help a lot,” Stump said. “The only difference now will be that I’m taking the first snap of the game instead of the fiftieth.” Stump said he doesn’t expect to prepare any differently now that he’s become A&M’s No. 1 quar terback. “All the quarterbacks here pre pare the same for each game,” Stump said. “The only pressure put on me will be what I put on myself to do good. As a backup, you have to prepare yourself for any situation. You never know when when you’re | going in.” Despite the fact the Aggies have lost to the Red Raiders the previous two seasons, 3-0 in ’83 and 24-15 in ’82, Stump isn’t bothered by this week’s starting assignment. “Starting is starting,” Stump said. “You just go out there to win. They (Tech) have beaten us two years in a row, but I can’t think of a better game to start in.” Stump admitted the Aggies’ inten sity level during the last three games iasn’t been up to par with a 3-0 team. “Everybody on the team really wants to win,” he said. “We’re 3-0 and that’s all anybody really cares about. The intensity level should be a lot higher this week because its the first conference game.” When asked to compare himself with Murray, Stump said the differ ences between them were slight. “Kevin (Murray) has a stronger arm than I do,” he said. “He’s a little quicker, but we’re basically the same type of quarterbacks for this style of offense.” If Stump has any weaknesses, the most apparent one that could reap pear against Tech are miscues in tak ing the snap from center. On the winning touchdown pass against Arkansas State, Stump hobbled the ball momentarily com ing out from under the center. Then, while in the grasp of an In dian defender, he rifled the ball to Teal in the left corner of the end- zone. Twice against Iowa State, Stump dropped the ball on the artificial turf on the center exchange. Fortunately for A&M, Stump covered both fum bles. “I think it (Stump’s snap problem) was just the lack of work with (start ing center) Matt (Darwin),” Stump said. “During practice, I don’t take a lot of snaps from the first team cen ters. All centers are different.” Sherrill agreed with Stump’s rea soning for the fumbled snaps. “Those things happen when you pull out (from under center),” Sher rill said. “That can certainly be cor rected. He’s (Stump) worked more with (second team center) Matt Wil son than with Matt Darwin.” With Murray lost for the remain der of the season, the A&M quar terback situation has been thrown into disarray. A&M’s depth chart for the Tech game lists senior John Mazur and sophomore Paul Gasper as Stump’s backups. Sherrill said that freshman Mark Motley, an All-State per former at Ore City High School, would probably be redshirted this season. Should injuries continue to haunt the A&M quarterback stable, Sherrill said senior John Elkins, who re placed an injured Gary Kubiak dur ing the Aggies’ 47-9 loss to Southern Methodist in 1982, would be moved from his current linebacker position back to quarterback. A&M rifle team iopples Miners By TONY CORNETT Sports Writer The Texas A&M Rifle Team squinted down it’s sights at the “enemy” last Saturday and squeezed off the shots needed to nail down a victory over Texas-El Paso. The Ags avenged their only de feat of 1983 by shooting past the Miners 1423-1380. The members of the winning Ag gie team are Kevin Schabacker, Car ter Stone, Chris Fedun, Eric Abbott and Dana Osborne. The match was a .177-caliber air rifle competition and took place at the rifle range in the basement of the Military Science Building. The rifle team has won the South west Conference Championship the ast two years in a row and is cur rently ranked 13th in the nation. The Ags also sent eight shooters to the Olympic Trials last season. It is not commonly known that shooting is a varsity sport at A&M and that competition is overseen by NCAA rules. The shooting team is composed of 12 members and the membership is split evenly between cadets and civil ians. The team’s season runs through next April with the Ags competing in some 22 matches, including shoot ing matches every weekend between now and the A&M Christmas break. The Ags travel to Austin next weekend to begin conference com petition at the University of Texas Invitational. The A&M team will be led by All- Southwest Conference shooter Scha backer and A&M’s All-American candidate David Edmondson. Aggies need a few good men By SUZY FISK Sports Writer The Texas A&M Field Hockey club has mostly women on the team but Phoebe Davol, the team’s advi sor, hopes more men will join in or der to set up two separate teams. The club has been playing for sev eral years and Davol, a graduate stu dent in soil science, is very optimistic about this year. “We have been invited to Colo rado to play in the Rocky Mountain Field Hockey Invitational at the Olympic Training Center,” Davol said. This will be the club’s fifth year to goto the tourney. However, they are only allowed to take two men along with their required 13 women. Field hockey has been tradition ally a woman’s sport in the United States and this is one of the reasons he dub has so few men. Davol says ihe would like to see more men :ome out and join the club. “We are trying to start a men’s earn,” she said. “We’re trying to nake extra money so we can make it ippealing to them.” In Europe, field hockey is primar ily a men’s sport which explains why the United States Olympic team doesn’t do as well when competing, said team member Mary Wilson. The club will attend three tourna ments this year with funds provided by the Texas A&M Extramural Sports Club Association. The club earns money by sponsor ing car washes, working at the Texas Triatholon and by receiving $20 se mester dues from each member. The club works from a budget set by Davol. The Aggies will hold their 2nd In vitational Field Hockey Tournament Oct. 13-14. The club will compete against nine women’s teams during the tourney which begins at 8:30 a.m. on the main drillfield. Since many of the opposing team members are students from prepa ratory schools, Davol believes the tournament is a good for recruiting prospective players. “It gives them (students) a chance to see the campus,” Davol said. Wilson, a graduate of Texas A&M, said the private schools are “highly competitive” with A&M’s team. Those schools practice at least two to three hours a day. Furniture Outlet Welcome back Aggies.
