Associated Press
The Baylor Bears are for real and
they aren’t as nice as their cute little
cub mascot who drinks soda after ev
ery touchdown.
The Bears, snapping a four-game
losing streak to Southern Methodist,
clawed their second consecutive
Southwest Conference opponent on
the road to set up a big showdown
Saturday night in Waco against sur
prising Texas A&M.
Baylor is 3-0 and and being closely
hounded bv Arkansas and A&M,
each 2-0, after Saturday’s round of
SWC jousting.
Baylor took a 21-14 bite out of
SMU in Texas Stadium, while A&M
piled up its most points ever against
Houston, winning 43-16 in Kyle
Field. Arkansas kept its record spot
less by whipping Texas Tech 30-7 in
Lubbock.
Rice won its first SWC game since
1981 bv downing Texas Christian
34-27. '
Texas, which is 1-0 in SWC play,
tumbled from the unbeaten ranks
with a 14-7 loss to Oklahoma in their
annual Red River rumble.
“They’ll be hanging f rom the raf
ters in Baylor Stadium when we play
the Aggies Saturday night,” said
Baylor Coach Grant Teaff. “It’s
going to be quite a game.”
Teaff said the SMU game con
vinced him that his Bears are a Top
20 team.
“I’d vote for us in the Top 20,"
said Teaff, whose Bears are already
ranked No. 19 in The Associated
Press poll. “For us to have a good
year we knew we’d have to win on
the road against some good teams.
We’re beginning to exhibit the char
acteristics of a good football team.”
Bavlor lineman Kevin Marsh said.
“When you knock off somebody like
SMU, then other teams have to look
up to you.”
Teaff said, “It doesn’t get arty eas
ier f rom here. That’s the way of life
in the Southwest Conference. Next
week will be for all the marbles just
like this week was for all the marbles.
The great thing for us now is that
SMU is our ally. They’re going to
beat some people and help us out
down the road.”
The A&M-Baylor game overshad
ows a big traditional showdown,
Texas-Arkansas. ABC-TV will tele
vise the game from Fayetteville at
2:30 p.m. Saturday.
In other games. Rice is at Texas
Tech at 12:04 p.m. in the SWC’s TV
game of the week, SMU is at Hous
ton at 2 p.m. and TCU hosts North
Texas State at-2 p.m.
A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said
his team “deserves to be in the Top
~ 20.”
The Aggies lost their opener to
Alabama and have been unranked
all season.
TCU Coach Jim Wacker has seen
his team f all off the cliff after he sus
pended seven players.
“I guess it can’t get any worse,"
Wacker said. “We just have one basic
problem — we’re not a very good
ootball team."
Rice Coach Watson Brown said,
“I’m proud that the idea of winning
their first conf erence game is of f the
backs of our kids.”
For Arkansas, it was their ninth
straight victory in Lubbock and 13th
victory in the last 14 games against
Texas Tech.

tween winning and losing for the
Aggies.
It must have been the morning
breakf ast of Wheaties, right?
“I had three bowls of ice cream to
day,” Gildner said, “And I don’t
even eat that much ice cream. They
were small bowls though.”
After that match, Gildner should
be put on an ice cream diet.
“I don’t think I’ve ever played bet
ter,” Gildner said. “I am at my peak
now. It took a lot to get here. I nave
been really getting down on myself.
“This is an incredible feeling. It’s
so exciting. I can still see us on nine
(with the score 14-9 in favor of Pur
due). I know in my heart we won,
but my head’s telling me we’re still
on nine.”
Gondon’s game plan was to go to
the outside hitters to offset the Pur
due front line made up of 6-2 Smith
and 6-0 Debbie Leeman.
“We did try to use Sherri and Sta
cey (Smith) to get their middle block
ers going,” Gildner said. “Once we
got them going to the middle, then
Lesha and Chris started setting to us
on the outside.”
Although Condon might have
doubted the Ags’ comeback abilities,
the players certainly believed they
could do it.
“We just kept telling each other
we couldn^t give up,” Beakley said.

DRILL FIELD A NO NO WHEN IT RAINS!
The Simpson Drill Field is a widely used facility on the A&M Campus. Many
sport club teams practice and hold their home games there - when it doesn’t rain.
In the event it does, these activities are moved to East Campus.
Unfortunately for the groups that use this facility, some students find it a great
place to play mudball when it rains. This activity ruins the field and defeats the
purpose of moving the scheduled activities. However, beginning last week,
Grounds Maintenance will begin posting a sign to indicate whether the field can be
used or not. When this sign is posted, all groups will be prevented from using the
field.
This procedure is necessary to maintain the field in playable condition. We are
asking all students to cooperate with the Intramural-Recreational Sports Office
and Ground Maintenance in this matter. For more information on the Simpson Drill
Field, please call the Intramural Office at 845-7826.
