Page 6/The Battalion/Wednesday, June 12, 1985 SPORTS Intramurals let you ‘go for gusto’ By ED CASSAVOY Sports Writer Has the NBA basketball final charged your sports battery? Or maybe the French Open, the NHL hockey finals and the USFL football season have gotten your competitive juices flowing. Then the Texas A&M Intramural Office may give you a chance to go for the gusto. For the first summer session, the A&M Intramural Of f ice is of fering a number of different events and leagues for players at all skill levels. Of ficial registration ended June 7, but there still may be a chance for students to sign up for a sport says one intramural official. P.J. Nadeau, director of publicity, says individual players still may be able to join a team in certain sports. “We’re setting up the schedules right now,” says Nadeau, “and some teams will probably start tonight (Tuesday). “We still take late entries, because if a team drops out then there are teams on a waiting list. An individual might find it easier to get on a team because we don't require (the teams) to hand in an of ficial, set roster.” Intramurals offer two separate types of sports — individual and dual sports and team sports. The individual and dual sports are tennis singles, handball singles, racquetball doubles and golf singles. Only golf singles requires an entry fee — in this case, a green fee. The team sports occuring during the first summer session are slow- pitch softball, volleyball triples and basketball triples. Entry fees are $15 3er team for volleyball and basket- iall, $25 for slowpitch softball. Nadeau says each type of sporting event is broken into four classes: A (highly skilled), B (moderately skilled), C (novice) and D (recre ational). “Level D is just for a round-robin tournament,” Nadeau says, “there are no playoffs and at this level it gives everyone a chance to play, usually four to five games. “A-level would be for highly skilled players, say for example someone who played on their high school tennis team. We get the most entries for class B.” Nadeau says that the intramural programs are open to all faculty and staff members who have an A&M recreation identification card. And would-be players should not be deterred by the hot summer weather, Nadeau says, because games are played after 5 p.rn. Na deau says games probably won’t be played on Friday and Saturday. “We also have water and ice avail able to all teams playing,” says Na deau, “and an EMT (emergency medical team) is ready to assist in case they’re needed. Hopefully, they won’t be.” Nadeau says two programs not in cluded on intramural advertising flyers are fitness classes and a golf league, which doesn’t begin play for another week. “Officially, registration is closed,” Nadeau says, “but people interested can still register until everything is filled.” Individuals wishing more infor mation on programs offered by the Intramural Office should call 845- 7826. Horns caught in Hurricane lose CWS title TANK Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Greg Ellena, a junior walk-on, continued his hot hitting and Rick Raether, the right- handed relief ace, continued to handcuff opposing hitters in Mi ami’s 10-6 victory over Texas in the NCAA College World Series title game 4’uesday night. Ellena collected four singles in a 14-hit Miami attack to bring his CWS total base collection to 22, tying a tournament record. “1 opened up on my stance a little bit because I knew the pitching was going to be tough and I see the ball better that way,” Ellena said. “I even opened up a little more today. “We’ve been getting the breaks all season. We must be a team of des tiny. Raether picked up his third save to go with two wins in the tourna ment. He stopped Texas over the last 2 1/3 innings. “Coach (Ron Fraser) said let’s shut the door,” Raether said. “That’s all I wanted to do.” Raether fanned Texas’ Dodd Johnson to end the game. “I wanted to strike him out so bad,” Raether said. “It’s the greatest feeling in the world.” The championship was Miami’s second in four years. Fraser’s 1982 club also won the title.Texas finished second for the second straight year. “It’s pretty disappointing,” said Longhorn Coach Cliff Gustafson. “This team deserved to finish better than this, not in the placing but in the way the fine game was played. At the end, they showed their heart and that’s what I will always remember about this club.” It also was the second game in a row that Texas errors played into a Miami win. Miami scored two un earned runs in Sunday’s semifinal. The Longhorns had four errors in the first three innings Tuesday night. “We played poorly the first four or five innings,” Gustafson said. “It was one of the worst (games of the season). I thought if we could stay close we would have a chance, thev were not to be denied.” The Hurricanes jumped to a lead with the help of four Texas rors in the first three innings.' Rowland’s ground ball scored first run and a throwing error lowed another in the first. Mike Fiore led off a fouri third with a double and scoredoul out later on a passed ball.
