Val Zacny was the team’s top de fensive player in the tourney. The A&M women’s team will begin playing in a Bryan-College Station men’s city league on Sun day. Game times are not yet avail able. Ags host ‘Savage’ Frisbee tourney The Texas A&M ultimate Fris- bee team plans on getting down right beastly Saturday at the “Sa vage Seven” tournament at 11 a.m. on the A&M polo field. Sixteen teams from Texas and Oklahoma will compete in the one-day tournament, which origi nated at A&M in 1984. Similar to scoring a touchdown in football, the object of ultimate Frisbee is getting the disc across a goal line. But in ultimate Frisbee, everyone’s a quarterback. Players are not allowed to “rush” with the disc. The game is played on a scaled-down football field. One Ultimate Frisbee point is awarded when a team gets the Frisbee across the goal line. The first team to score seven points wins the game. A turnover occurs if a player drops the Frisbee or if it is picked off by a member of the other team. The tournament this weekend is called “Savage Seven” because each team is allowed seven play ers with no substitutes. If one player is hurt or for some reason can’t play, that team plays with six players against a team that might have all seven of its players. National champs to lift in Baytown Three A&M strongmen will be attempting to pump their way into qualifying positions for the national championships the South Texas Championships in Baytown Saturday. Troy Rhodes, Joe Hartwell and Mike Gonzalez of the A&M Olympic weightlifting team will be looking to power enough iron over their heads to join their tea mmates in defending the colle giate national championship title that A&M won in 1987. A&M musclemen Seyed En- adain, Darryl Dabbs and Craig Baisley have already qualified for the collegiate championships which will be in April. Baisley, the Weightlifting coach of the team and a graduate student in business analysis, was the 1987 national champion in the 181-pound weight class. Baisley said he and Dabbs are each within of few kilos of qualify ing for the summer Olympic team. Competitions consist of two events — the snatch, and the clean and jerk. In the snatch, the weight is lifted above the head with two hands in one motion. Two movements are used in the clean and jerk. A&M has won all four competi tions it has competed in this year. Racquetballers compete this weekend Ten members of the Texas A&M Extramural Racquetball Club will take to the courts in tournament play in Houston at the Chancellors Racquet Club Tournament this weekend. The open divisions will allow top-notch amateur players to compete side-by-side with profes sional players, club president Ed Schipul said. Texas A&M team members Bruce Bicknell and Phil Theimer, will be competing as the top two seeds in the men’s open division. Racquetball Six other Aggies will compete in the men’s divisions A, B and C. Kelley Gamblin and Diana Gal indo, will be competing in wom en’s divisions C and D. Beginning Friday at 5:00 p.m., the competitors will play matches until they suffer a loss and are moved to the consolation bracket. Winners will continue playing matches throughout the weekend until an overall division winner is decided on Sunday. Three-pointer spells success for Mustangs DALLAS (AP) — Perhaps no team in collegiate basketball relishes the three-point shot like the South ern Methodist Mustangs. The new NCAA rule was made for perimeter-shooting teams like the Mustangs, which hit nine of the three-point shots Wednesday night in an 86-68 Southwest Conference victory over Rice. And the 19-9 shot was sissy stuff, the way the Mustangs’ bomb squad let shots fly. “They were hitting NBA (22-3) three-pointers against us,” said Rice Coach Scott Thompson. “We kept pushing them back and they kept nailing them.” More than two-thirds of SMU’s points have come from perimeter players, Eric Longino, Kato Arm strong, Todd Alexander, and Carl ton McKinney. The foursome has averaged 59 points per game. “The three-point shot has an es pecially effective psychlogical edge,” SMU Coach Dave Bliss said. “When somebody makes one late in the game, it translates into the other team needing two possessions to make up ground.” Alexander made six of the shots to break open the game against the Owls, giving SMU its third 20-vic tory season in five years. He said he’s always aware of the three-point line. “I start sweating when I get inside that line,” he said. “I hold up until I can get farther out.” Alexander set a school record with seven successful three-pointers shots against Louisville in December. Bliss said the shot is a regular part of the Mustangs’ offense. “We try to implement the longer shot without taking away from the flow of our offense,” he said. “We don’t want to just shoot three-point ers, we want to shoot them from our regular offense by kicking the ball back out to an open man.” Alexander has hit 63-of-135 for 47 percent of his three-point shots. Astros reach contract agreements with 7 players HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros announced Wednesday they have reached agreements with seven players, including right-handed pitcher George Frazier, who threw for the World Champion Minnesota Twins last season. Terms of the one-year contracts were not disclosed, Astros spokes man Chuck Pool said. Others signed Wednesday were right-handed pitcher Jose Cano, left-handed pitchers Blaise Ilsley and Terry Wells, outfielder Bert Hunter and catcher Dan Walters. Left-handed pitcher Rob Malli- coat also was signed Wednesday, but then was assigned to the club’s AAA team in Tucson to make room on the roster for Frazier. The six players were all in the As tros’ minor league system last year. Frazier compiled a 5-5 record and a 4.98 ERA last year with the Twins. He pitched two scoreless innings in game four of the World Series. “We feel that the addition of George Frazier will give us added depth and flexibility in our bullpen,” Astros General Manager Bill Wood said. Frazier began his major league baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1978. He has a career record of 35-43 with 29 saves. Astros pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report Thursday to the club’s spring training facilities in Kis simmee, Fla.
