A&M volleyball
faces Georgia
in NCAA playoff
By Loyd Brumfield
Assistant Sports Editor
The Texas A&M volleyball team’s
chase for the NCAA championship
begins tonight in Athens, Ga., with a
7:30 p.m. meeting with the Univer
sity of Georgia in the first round of
the NCAA tournament.
A&M Coach A1 Givens said he is
looking forward to the match.
“We’re very excited to be here,”
he said. “We’re only one of 32 teams
left in the nation and we want to
prove that we are worthy of the invi
tation.”
The Aggies beat Georgia earlier
in the year three games to one in the
Oklahoma Tournament. Givens said
he expects the second match to be
much tougher.
“Georgia has the advantage be
cause they’re at home,” he said.
“They should be a lot more compet-
iriv#=> fb' K 'iroi^nrl "T’her^*’*' no
doubt they are a good team because
of their second place finish in the
Southeastern Conference Tourna
ment. They play tough, hard-nosed
volleyball.”
A&M enters the match with a 23-
13 regular season record and is
seeded fifth in the South Region.
Georgia is 32-7 and seeded fourth.
The winner will advance to face the
University of Texas, which defeated
Duke University three games to one
Thursday night in Austin.
Givens said the tournament gives
the seniors a chance to go out on a
high note.
“The loss to Texas (Nov. 20 in
Austin) left a bad taste in our
mouths, particularly for our se
niors,” he said. “This gives them an
other chance to represent their uni
versity and an opportunity to
redeem themselves.”
SMU AD, Collins
offer resignations
DALLAS (AP) — Southern Meth
odist Athletic Director Bob Hitch
and head football coach Bobby Col
lins have submitted their resigna
tions to the university’s board of gov
ernors, board chairman and Gov.-
elect Bill Clements said Thursday.
But the acting university presi
dent said he had not received resig
nations from the two, who have been
under fire during a football recruit
ing scandal that has included the
sudden retirement of President L.
Donald Shields.
“Both Mr. Hitch’s and Mr. Collins’
resignations were discussed,” Clem
ents said. “I did not say it was ac
cepted or rejected. Who brought it
up first. I’m not prepared to say.”
Clements addressed reports of the
resignations at a news conference
Thursday afternoon focusing on his
economic plans for the state when he
takes office as governor.
He refused to say whether the res
ignations were offered voluntarily or
were requested and would not dis
cuss f urther details.
The Dallas Times Herald quoted
an unidentified source in the SMU
athletic department who said Hitch
and Collins had been trying to work
a settlement of their contracts with
the board of governors
In a late-afternoon edition, the
Herald quoted Clements as saying
after the SMU board meeting earlier
in the day that the resignations were
offered within the last two to three
days.
the board to have the resignations
and Stallcup not to know about it.
“The usual line of authority on
matters dealing with personnel deci
sions throughout the university, not
just the athletic department, is to the
board through the president,”
Kliever said.
There has been pressure from
university faculty members for SMU
to take action to stem the tide of alle
gations of recruiting violations in the
football program.
Fewer tickets
available for
Cotton Bowl
Texas A&M’s allotment of Cot
ton Bowl tickets is about 20 per
cent less than last year when the
tickets go on sale to A&M stu
dents Monday at 7 a.m. The $25
tickets will be sold from windows
3, 4, 5 and 6 at G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
Texas A&M’s total ticket allot
ment for the 1987 Cotton Bowl
game is 20,360, down from
25,746 for the 1986 game. The
number of tickets available for
students is 6,250, reduced from
last year’s 8,000. Ticket manager
Jim Kotch said the ticket allot
ment is smaller because Ohio
State requested 12,000 tickets.
Auburn only asked for 8,000 last
year.
Kotch said more tickets might
be available if Ohio State can’t sell
their allotment.
Each student may purchase a
maximum of six tickets, but a
coupon book cover from the stu
dent’s season coupon book must
be presented for each ticket pur
chased. A seniority system also is
in effect as follows:
On Monday, a coupon book
stamped Graduate or Senior
must be presented for every two
tickets the student wishes to pur
chase. If any tickets remain on
Tuesday, the same seniority sys
tem will be in effect for coupon
book covers stamped Graduate,
Senior or Junior. Tickets can be
bought with either cash or check.
He said the board tabled them,
but a decision could be made as early
as today, the newspaper said.
Under the NCAA charter and the
Southwest Conference constitution,
the athletic director and coach work
for the president, or chief academic
person, at the university and not for
the board.
Acting president William B. Stal
lcup Jr. said, “They haven’t sub
mitted them (resignations) to me. I
assume they would come to me.
“I do know there have been con
versations going on with respect to
this,” said Stallcup, who took over af
ter Shields retired last month. A uni
versity spokesman said then that the
recruiting scandal had aggravated
Shields’ diabetes condition.
Lonnie Kliever, faculty athletic
representative to the NCAA and
SWC, said it would be unusual for
