Ag racquetball team dominates
regional tourney championship,
By Lyneen Johnson
Reporter
Texas A&M, dominant over other
Southwest Conference schools in
football and baseball, captured yet
another title last weekend at the
South central Region Intercollegiate
Racquetball Championship in Den
ton.
Ten members of the A&M extra
mural racquetball team competed in
the tournament, bringing home 10
first place awards including the
overall regional championship.
Vicki Oliver and Diana Galindo,
competing in a four-person team di
vision, used their expertise and skills
to capture 2nd place overall in the
women’s division, racquetball club
president Ed Schipul said.
Oliver and Galindo took 1st place
in Division I doubles while Oliver
placed 1st in Division I singles.
Backed by a strong No. 2 team,
A&M’s No. 1 men’s team took 1st
place overall in the men’s division.
The No. 1 team from the Univer-
city of Texas placed 2nd, with North
Houston taking 3rd and 4th place,
respectively.
A&M’s No. 2 team followed, plac
ing 5th in the men’s division.
“Each school sends their top four
men and women as its number one
teams; however, they have the op
tion to send a second team in each
division,” Schipul said.
“The second team does not get
tournament points for the school . . .
it is its own entity.
“The second team, when they are
as good as ours, is able to knock out
other people . . . preventing other
schools’ number one teams from re
ceiving places and team points,” he
said.
A&M’s No. 1 team of Bruce Bick-
nell, Phil Theimer, Curtis Acheson
and Danny Duffy took 2nd in Divi
sion 1, 1st in Division II, 1st in Divi
sion III and 1st in Division IV, re
spectively.
Bicknell and Theimer also placed
3rd in Division I doubles, while
Acheson and Duffy took IstinD-
sion II doubles.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP)
— Mike Stanley is happy that the
Texas Rangers finally did what al
ways happened to him when he was
growing up in South Florida.
They assigned him a catcher’s
mitt.
“I was always the kid they stuck
behind the plate,” said Stanley, who
has gone from a jack-of-all-trades
utility man to the Rangers’ starting
catcher.
“I’ve always had these strong legs
and that’s where being a catcher
starts,” Stanley said. “If your legs go,
so does your offense and defense.”
Stanley spent the off-season try
ing to increase the velocity in his arm
after throwing out only five of 79
baserunners in 61 games with the
Rangers last season.
Former Ranger Joe Ferguson, a
strong-armed catcher in his playing
career, tried to teach Stanley his
catching methods.
“When I was working with Fergy,
we weren’t really working with my
abilities,” Stanley sbid. “Fergy. really
had some great ideas but they were
geared to a player of his nature and
abilities."
Ferguson blew away baserunners
with his bazooka-arm. Stanley’s
power must come from his legs.
“He (Ferguson) had a powerful
arm and I nave an average arm,”
Stanley said. “I have to do different
things to get my velocity up.”
Despite Stanley’s throwing prob
lems and 18 passed balls, Manager
Bobby Valentine saw enough prom
ise to trade Don Slaught, the only
Rangers catcher with major league
experience, and gamble on Stanley.

“It’s a gamble f rom the standpoint
that he doesn’t have much major
league experience,” Rangers Gen
eral Manager Tom Grieve said. “But
he’s worked hard at improving his
throwing and I think it will pay off
this season.”
Stanley believes off-season work
on mechanics will help improve his
average this season.
