Rangers inherit
AL West cellar
one more time
By DENNE H. FREEMAN
AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON — A visit to Arlington Stadium takes a strong sense of
perspective — not to mention a strong stomach — now that the Texas Rang
ers have once again floated belly up in the American League West.
You go out there wearing a nosepin hoping to sight any hope for the
future involving perhaps the worst sports franchise in the United States.
For the record, the club has been in Arlington since 1972 and still no
division flag has been claimed. The Rangers were legitimately in the race
only for two seasons.
It’s been another season of a fired manager, poor judgment of talent
and arrogant players who think nothing of making an obscene gesture to
the third base coach if they get a sign they don’t like.
Doug Rader is history, fired and sent packing by owner Eddie Chiles. Of
course, Rader, like many other former Ranger employees, still draws a nice
stipend from an ownership with more cents than baseball sense.
Example: An ineffective Burt Hooton still has two more years to go at
some $500,000 per season. Why do the Rangers insist on getting themselves
into financial binds like that?
Bobby Valentine has inherited quite a mess from Rader, the strong-
willed “Red Rooster” whose judgment of playing talent didn’t match his abi
lities when he was in the major leagues.
Valentine is bringing in the minor leaguers now.
He’s particularly hopeful that Jose Guzman will give some hope for a
Ranger pitching staff that desperately needs some.
Look for a busy round of trades by the Rangers. No player will be safe
except for first baseman Pete O’Brien and pitcher Charlie Hough.
After sitting through 11-2 and 12-1 defeats recently the Ranger needs
are obvious: Arms.
Only Hough can be counted upon as having major league stuff. The
other Ranger starters are strictly a hazard to third basemen and bleacher
bums.
The Rangers have a team earned run average of 4.60 and it would be
over the moon if it weren’t for Hough’s 3.30 ERA.
The team batting average has slipped to around .250. Infielder Wayne
Tolleson was the only Ranger hitting over .300.
Rookie Oddibe McDowell was a bright spot, hitting around .250 with 16
homers.
Infielder Toby Harrah had over 100 walks and an excellent on-base
percentage and hit .270 before Valentine started bringing in the minor
leaguers.
But the often-injured Larry Parrish (.241), George Wright (.194), Steve
Buechele (.213) and Duane Walker (.200) have been major disappoint
ments.
The Buddy Bell trade to Cincinnati for Walker and Jeff Russell (8.16
ERA) is a typical example of the Rangers’ getting blankets and beads while
giving away gunpowder and gold.
General Manager Tom Grieve and Valentine will be wheeling and deal
ing well into March to try to barter the Rangers back to .500.

Texas A&M tailback Keith Woodside snags a pass from quarterback
Kevin Murray during the Ags’ 23-10 loss to Alabama Saturday night.
No surprises for A&M spikers in Illinois
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
There were no upset losses over
the weekend for the Texas A&M
volleyball team in the Southern Illi
nois Tournament. The Aggies had
learned their lesson in an upset loss
to Sam Houston in their first game
on Sept. 9.
Despite four obviously weaker op
ponents, the Ags have learned not to
take anyone lightly. They did what
they were supposed to do — win the
tournament.
The Aggies swept through
matches against Central Michigan,
Minnesota and Kentucky before fac
ing host Southern Illinois.
In the final match, the Aggies de
feated SIU 15-7, 15-8, 15-10. A&M
had 50 kills toSIU’s27.
A&M All-America middle blocker
Sherri Brinkman was voted Most
Valuable Player by the coaches.
Brinkman had 51 kills in the tourna
ment with an overall percentage of
.438.
Also named to the All-Tourna
ment team were setter Lesha Beak-
ley and outside hitter Margaret
Spence.
“Everyone played well,” said
A&M assistant Coach Mardi Alexan-
Sherri Brinkman
der. “No one would have argued if
(A&M setter) Chris Zogata, (A&M
outside hitter Stacey) Gildner, or
(A&M middle blocker Stacey) Smith
bad been named to the All-Tourna
ment team.
“Laura (Hoppe) played well in the
backcourt for Stacey Smith. She did
a good job defensively. Margaret
played well defensively. She led the
team in digs.”
Alexander said the Aggies were
physically and mentally ready to
play.
“I think the Sam Houston game
was a learning experience,” Alexan-
Lesha Beakley
der said. “It was our season opener
— and it showed. In this tourna
ment, we had that one match already
under our belts. The girls were more
confident and so thev played more
like they had played last spring and
fall.
“We’ve been pressing for months.
We’ve been expecting big things and
that first game didn’t meet our ex
pectations. We showed ourselves this
weekend that we are the same team.”
In their opening match Friday,
the Aggies topped Central Michigan
15-9, 12-15, 15-7, 15-2.
Friday evening, A&M played its
best match thus far this season. Tht
Aggies crushed Minnesota 15-1,15-
2, 15-6.
Against the Gophers, Brinkman
had a high hitting percentage of
.667, Gildner had her high of .600
and Spence hit .455.
And, in a Saturday match against
Kentucky, the Aggies won 15-9, 15-
6, 15-7.
“Although we played well," Alex
ander said, “there are lots of things
we still need to work on. We can play
even better than we did this week
end.”
AGGIE VOLLEYBALL NOTES:
The Aggies, who got back from Il
linois at 6 p.m. Sunday, leave today
at 2 p.m. lor San Diego. Their first
round tournament match is against
host San Diego State. SDSU is 7-2 on
the season after defeating Riverside,
Santa Clara and Oregon last week..
. . UCLA, ranked No. 1 in the na
tion, defeated No. 9 Texas twice last
weekend in Austin and San Antonio.
The Bruins beat the Horns in three
straight sets both nights before more
than 6,000 fans .... The word
around the A&M volleyball camp is
that Aggie junior Stacey Gildner
played some of her best volleyball
ever in the Southern Illinois Tour
nament.
