Rose blocked a 47-yard Louisiana Tech field goal try and Robert Blackmon re turned it 38 yards to the Tech 25, setting up the game’s only touch down. “Brad had not looked good in practice,” said Baylor Coach Grant Teaff. “But that’s the fun of this game to have someone perform well that was not ex pected. That’s what Brad did. I’d call it a fiery baptism.” “I think once I got a feel for things my confidence came back to me and good things started to happen,” Goebel said. “I spent many hours in two-a-days getting ready for this opportunity.” He said the Bulldogs did just what he thought they would do — blitz. “I figured they’d blitz me be cause I was young and they did,” he said. “I’m glad because I didn’t mind the pressure.” Lady Ags execute poorly in loss, drop 4th game of year to SHSU By Hal L. Hammons Assistant Sports Editor The Texas A&M Lady Aggies continued to struggle Tuesday night as the volleyball team fell to Sam Houston State in Huntsville 9-15, 14-16,15-7, 15-9, 15-10. The Lady Aggies dropped to 1-4 on the year. They play the Lady Bearkats once again Sept. 16 at G. Rollie White Coliseum. A&M Coach A1 Givens said he was very disappointed in the team’s ef fort. “We jjlayed really poor,” Givens said. “This was by far the poorest ex ecution we’ve had all year, including practice. “You can’t pinpoint one individ ual; it was a conbined group effort. “The chemestry was not there to night. We played as individuals. It was not a team effort. We didn’t play together. “We played like we were afraid to take control. There were a lot of in consistencies. We played in spurts, and even the two games we won, we struggled in.” Kelli Kellen led the team with a career-high 22 kills, combined with 5 errors out of 45 total attempts for a .478 hitting percentage. Cheri Steensma added 21 kills with 4 er rors in 52 attempts for a .327 per centage. Yvonne van Brandt led the team with 29 digs. Liz Clifford had one solo block and six block assists. The Lady Aggies travel to Ful lerton, Ca. this week for the Titan- Mizuno Collegiate Preview. A&M and 15 other teams will begin play Friday with the championship game Saturday. The Lady Aggies’ bracket in cludes Eastern Washington, No. 20- ranked Long Beach State and first- round opponent Santa Clara.

After the NCAA reinstated the el igibility of a Pittsburgh player in volved in similar circumstances, UT officials announced they were ap pealing to the NCAA. Lott provided the information to Texas regarding the contract. “This information was provided to us by James through his attorney as soon as he received the docu ments from his agents,” Dodds said. “In our view, the existence of a con tract changes our position on ap peal.” NCAA rules prohibit student ath letes from signing contracts with agents prior to the completion of their eligibility. CHICAGO (AP) — Frank Luc- chesi was named interim manager of the Chicago Cubs Tuesday, replac ing Gene Michael, who resigned af ter almost 1 Vi years. General Manager Dallas Green announced Lucchesi’s appointment and said, “Frank understands that it is for 25 games and no longer.” Green said the move will “give us time to gather our thoughts and give us time regarding the managerial decision. “We’d like to make the decision in October or November, hopefully be fore the winter meetings. But we won’t make a decision until we’re completely satisfied.” Third base coach John Vukovich has been considered a prime candi date for the job from which Michael figured to be fired at the end of the season. “It would be unfair to put some one like Vuke under the gun for the final 25 games,” Green said. “The pressure woud be terrific.” Vukovich said Green called him Monday night after he had learned of Michael’s resignation. “He explained it to me, and I un derstand completely,” said Vuko- marke- harply ding K (AP) — Thf led in active ® smarting fromF' :he Federal U ; and major •• rate. g sharply for Wall Street cal recovery ■ Dow Jones ed off the ps| nt 2,500-poinf ■watched blue led 16.26 point! fter having ints earlier. ssues outstrip] out 8-to-l on Lxchange, with 211 gaining the Big Board shares, up st nillion in Frida'' lancial market! y for Labor Dav es in the discou: e rate were ref* eeply escalating- mds in the opet iterest rates art prices, since the 1 :ompany invest sed its discount!* n 5.5 percent it* tering dollar.

Who wouldn’t?” Lucchesi, 59, managed in the mi nor leagues for 17 years before tak ing over the Philadelphia Phillies from 1970-72. He replaced Billy Martin as man ager of the Texas Rangers in 1975 and managed them until he was fired in 1977. His managerial record in the major leagues was 341-429 Probably the most memo v part of Lucchesi’s managerial r tr came before the 1977 season. In spring training, Luccl lieved second baseman Ler can dle of his starting job, ar andle, angered by the demotio i, punched Lucchesi. Lucchesi wo? 1 up in the hospital. Green said he wc Id consider a list of candidates d the naming of a black manager “is a possibility. Billy Williams v ?uld be a good can didate.” Commissioner Peter Ueberroth said earlier this year that baseball is committed to promoting blacks onto the managerial level, both on and off the field. None of the managerial changes this year has involved blacks. Williams, a former star and a cur rent coach with the team, was slated earlier in the season to begin manag ing in the Arizona Instructional League. He leaves the team Sunday for those duties. “IT evaluate my situation after . itructional league,” Williams saia. ‘But I’ll abide by whatever the Cubs decide.” Lucchesi said he would not seek and was not a candidate for the reg ular job. He has been a part-time coach with the Cubs this season. Green moved quickly after learn ing through the media od Michael’s decision to resign. “I don’t think it’s fair to the play ers, to Gene Michael or the organiza tion to leave Gene in a lame-duck sit uation,” Green said. ‘‘Gene’s decision was his and his decision only.” “I understand the situation,” Mi chael said. “If the players know I’m not coming back, it’s not a good posi tion to be in.” The Cubs were 46-56 under Mi chael last season and 68-68 this year for an overall record of 114-124. A&M runners to begin 1987 season By Loyd Brumfield Sports Editor The Texas A&M men’s and women’s cross country teams, un der new head coach Barry Col burn, will open the 1987 cam paign Thursday at 6 p.m. when they host the 12th Annual Texas A&M Invitational at the Univer sity golf course. The Aggies finished sixth in the Southwest Conference meet last year, and finished ninth at the District Six Championships. Eight men’s and women’s teams will participate, including defending champion the Univer sity of Houston, which won both the men’s and women’s competi tion last year. Other teams scheduled to com pete include Texas, Baylor, La mar University, Prairie View A&M, Blinn Junior College and Houston Baptist. Baylor’s Stephen Clark and UH’s Michelle Dekkers, who won the individual competition last year, will return to defend their titles. “The smaller schools coming have distance-oriented programs, and in particular I’m looking for ward to seeing what Houston Baptist brings,” Colburn said. Colburn, 37, served as assistant athletic director at Rhodes Col lege from 1983-85 and was head cross country coach at the Uni versity of Richmond from 1982- 83. He has also served as an assis tant track coach at the University of Alabama and Troy State Uni versity. The men’s team returns six runners and the women’s team returns two, including freshman standout Julie Soukup. “I’ve been impressed with their overall attitude going into the season,” Colburn said. “You can tell that a number of them did some work over the summer and they’re in good shape.” ftfiPHClO VA*tAOCf 7HUfcSt>AY, SE>T.
