Stump
(Continued from page 10)
So the question asked most of
Sherrill and his coaching staff dur
ing this week’s preparations for
Tech is not can Stump play, but can
he handle the pressure of a SWC
game?
“Having played some already can
be a plus or minus situation for
Stump,” Sherrill said. “He’s been
around Kevin (Murray), so he’s not
going to get rattled easily. 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.
