said. “There’s no doubt in my mind
| that A&M is an improved team from
last year. They’re the most improved
team in the Southwest Conference
I without question.”
Just as they did in Austin four
. days ago, the Aggies outrebounded
the,taller Raiders, this time by a 39-
| 37 count.
“I can’t believe we outrebounded
; them,” said Hickey as she looked at
| the stats. “Michell (Tatum) and Janet
; (Dunkham) did well on the boards.”
Dunkham, who led the team with
13 rebounds, said rebounding is her
main contribution to the team.
“That’s (rebounding) what I’m
supposed to do,” said Dunkham,
who also tossed in 17 points. “One of
otir goals is to outrebound the other
team by 10. In the first half, we let
them gel way too many offensive
; boards and that hurt us.”
The Aggies were helped by the re-
I turn of the 6-foot-3 Tatum, who is
back from a knee injury that side-
| lined her much of the season. Tatum
pulled down six caroms and tossed
in a game-high 24 points.
“It really helps when you have
! Michell in the game,” Hickey said.
“We didn’t realize how much we
! missed her.”

Tatum said her knee was still in
pain.
“It’s sore but that’s to be expec
ted,” Tatum said. “I just concentrate
on the game and forget about the
knee. I am taking a chance every-
* time I go out there, but that’s life.
I’m going out there to win.”
The A&M crowd, the biggest of
the season for the Aggies, rattled
Tech’s players.
“The A&M crowd is difficult to
play in front of because they’re al
ways loud,” said Tech center Me
linda Denham.
The crowd also excited the Aggie
team and brought them back to life
in the second half.
“They gave me chills,” Edgar said.
“I got real excited. It’s really a big
boost to have a crowd.”
Dunkham said the home crowd is
a big asset to the Aggies.
“They say the crowd adds 10
points to the home team,” Dunkham
said. “We play and win for A&M. We
really appreciate all their support.”
Hall of Famer gives Cowboys
advice about quarterbacks
Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) - Roger Staubach
has some advice for his old boss,
Coach Tom Landry: Go into train
ing camp with a No. 1 quarterback.
It took Staubach, who was named
to the Professional Football Hall of
Fame Tuesday, from 1969 to 1971
to outduel Craig Morton for the
starting quarterback job with the
Dallas Cowboys.
Staubach took the Cowboys to a
winning Super Bowl VI the first year
he had the starting job.
“I think somebody has to be estab
lished as THE quarterback,” Stau
bach said.
w
ited the No. 1 job from Staubach in
1980, and young Gary Hogeboom
traded starting assignments in a 9-7 _
season in 1984
“It’s difficult for both to go to
training camp and compete for the
job again,” said Staubach. “I think
the team is starting to respond now
but I’d hate to see a quarterback con
troversy.”
Staubach calls himself a “fan” now
but closely follows the fortunes of his
old National Football League team.
“White at this stage needs some
sort of an endorsement or I don’t
think he would want to be there,”
said Staubach. “I just think some
body needs to be No. 1 before train
ing camp.
“I guess the whole thing is a
chancy proposition.”
Staubach, 42, discounted any
- chance he might try for a comeback.
“1 played in a flag football game
the other day and got chapped lips
from the cold and a sore arm,” Stau
bach said. “I think I made the right
decision.”
Staubach said “It’s amazing. I
haven’t had a concussion since I left
pro football.”
Doctors had urged Staubach to
get out of the game because of the
concussions he suffered during his
11-year career.
“You know I actually threw the
ball pretty good the other day,”
Staubach said with a glint in his eye.
“Wouldn’t it be a great story to
comeback from the Hall of Fame.?”
Staubach also said he had no de
sire to enter politics at this time.
