Arizona State is the powerhouse in collegiate archery, Thomas says, but A&M should be tough with two returning All-Americans and a vet eran archer who shot in the U.S. Olympic Festival this summmer. He says the team has been orga nized since 1977. The ages of the team members range from 18 to 37. The team competes in the Na tional Archery Association’s South ern district. The district is made up of just two teams: A&M and the Uni versity of Texas. There are two seasons in colle giate archery: indoor and outdoor. The outdoor season is from April to about late October and the indoor season is from November to early April. The two main tournaments in ar chery are the Indoor and Outdoor Nationals. In the Indoor Nationals last year, the men’s and women’s teams both finished in sixth place. In outdoor competition, the women finished fifth and the men finished second to Arizona State University. Thomas’ reason for confidence this year could he the return of All- Americans Gary Boecker and Tommy Thompson. Boecker, a senior accounting and finance major from Houston, says that his goals are to beat Arizona State and possibly try out for the U.S. Olympic team. Thompson says he also wants to try out for the Olympics and would like nothing better than to be No. 1 in the nation. Rick Stonebraker, the oldest member of the team at 37, also acts as mentor and assistant coach. He competed in the Olympic Festival in Houston, and was a two-time All- American at Penn State University. Stonebraker says many of the physical aspects of archery are taken for granted. There are many varia bles in archery ranging from the way the bow is held to the way an archer stands, Stonebraker says. “All have to be ‘on’,” he says, “and if any one of them or any combina tion is ‘off you won’t hit the middle.” The women’s team also is looking to improve this year. Julie Burg is one of six women that make up the team.

She did better than some of the team members and has been on the squad ever since. “My personal goals kind of coin cide with team goals,” she says. “If I raise my scores, it’s going to help the team out.” Unlike the Arizona State team, all 20 members of the A&M team are non-scholarship athletes. They have to buy their own bows, which cost up to $1200, and their own arrows which range in cost from S3.50to S14 a piece.

Kevin’s a great quarterback, and now we have a receiver that can catch the ball other than the wide-out — which helps open up the long ball because they won’t be able to protect the short passes or the running game all the time.” The A&M offense is averag® 428.5 yards per game headingi® Saturday’s contest with Housm and Bernstine doesn’t foresee ant slowdown in output. “I feel like we can move the If against anybody,” he said. “Ken has a great arm and we haveanoulv standing cast of players aroundli® I don’t feel like we can reallv be slop J ped.” Victory Jam wi,h the Local Band 4 HAMS ON RYE 1 / 2 Price Cover w/ATM game ticket stub V>1 Sat.
