The Texas A&M Women’s basket
ball team won the Lady Aggie Classic
81-48 over the McNeese State Cow
girls Saturday at G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
A&M (2-0) was led by senior cen
ter Lisa Jordon, who had 15 points
and a career-high 19 rebounds, and
sophomore center Louise Madison
who chipped in nine rebounds and
11 points.
A&M Head Coach Lynn Hickey
said, “Lisa played a great game. If
can play like that all year, and we get
the effort we got from the other
girls, we will win a lot of ballgames.”
Whenever Jordon wasn’t in the
game, Madison picked up the slack.
Madison had 18 points, 14 re
bounds and one blocked shot in the
tournament. She was a terror on the
offensive boards as 12 of her 14 re
bounds were offensive.
The University of Texas-Arling-
ton and Oral Roberts University
were the other two teams in the tour
nament.
A&M opened the championship
game playing excellent defense.
They raced to a 12-0 lead behind the
inside play of Jordon and senior
guard Donna Roper who had team
high 17 points for the game.
A&M’s defense was so good that
the Cowgirls didn’t score until al
most eight minutes into the game.
The Cowgirls shot only 23 percent
from the field and didn’t go to the
free throw line until there were four
minutes left in the half.
A&M led 38-21 at the half. A&M
continued to play tough defense,
and the Cowgirls never got closer
than 22 points. The Cowgirls’ 48
points was a tournament record low.
Roper was named the tournament
MVP. She scored 50 points and nine
assists for the weekend. Jordon was
named to the all-tournament team.
Completing the all-tournament
team was UTA’s Tracy Tilghman,
Oral Roberts’ Vivian Herron and
McNeese State’s Kim Turner and
Chandra Davis.
A&M advanced to the
championship by beating UTA 86-
67 Friday night.
A&M’s next game is Wednesday
against North Texas in Denton be
fore heading to Minneapolis, Minn,
to play Kansas State in the Dial Clas
sic. A&M’s next home game is Dec. 8
against Pan American.
It may be the Lady Ags’ year
to dethrone the Lady Horns
ice.

Women’s basketball is here and it’s time to pick
who is going to win the Southwest Conference.
For what seems like an eternity the SWC has been
ruled by the women from Austin. In fact, the Lady
Longhorns’ last defeat to a SWC team was back on
Jan. 9,1978 (52-50 to A&M). Because of this many
people are picking 5th-ranked Texas to win the
SWC again.
Well, move over teasips. There is a new team on
the horizon, and they just happen to be the last SWC
team to beat you.
The 18th-ranked Texas A&M Lady Aggies
appear to be in an excellent position to dethrone the
teasips. A&M returns all five of last year’s starters
and have an influx of new talent that should give the
Lady Aggies that extra edge they will need. Texas is
returning only two starters from last year’s team.
Texas is led by the best center in women’s
basketball, Clarissa Davis. A&M, though, is led by a
preseaon All-America pick themselves.
Senior guard Donna Roper will be the spark that
will keep A&M’s title hopes alive. Roper has been
tabbed as a preseason All-America and enters her
senior year on the verge of rewriting A&M’s record
book. She ranks in the top 10 in eight categories.
Roper is A&M’s court general, and the Ags will need
her experience and talent to lead them to the top.
Roper, however, is not A&M’s only weapon.
Senior center Lisa Jordon will lead the inside attack.
Jordon, who averaged 10.1 rebounds a game last
year, will give A&M a strong rebounding game as
she demonostrated in the Lady Aggie Classic over
Thanksgiving.
Coach Hickey said, “If Lisa plays like that (19
rebounds in the championship game) all year, we
will win a lot of ball games.”
A&M’s other three returning starters — Traci
Thomas, Lisa Herner and Nette Garrett — will help
round out a starting five that has learned and played
together for a year. This experience will help to
make A&M’s game more fluent and effective.
A&M’s strongest asset this year may not be their
starters, but their bench. For the first time in Coach
Lynn Hickey’s career at A&M, she has a bench.
Hickey went out and recruited what she needed to
bring the level of talent at A&M up to that of Texas.
Coach Hickey said, “We recruited what we set out
to recruit — good basketball players who are also
quality people. They are not borderline players.
They are all pure athletes.”
Two of these players showcased their talent early
in the exhibition game against the Canadian national
team. Freshman Dena Russo displayed an outside
shot that will make her a headache for A&M’s
oppenents. Russo scored 10 points and established
herself as a legimate three-point shooter. She made
Stan Gobaloff
Sports Writer
49 out of 96 three-point attempts her senior year in
high school.
Last year Wendy Jennings was A&M’s only serious
three-point shooting threat. This year Russo will
help Jennings and give Coach Hickey more of an
outside game.
The best news to come out of the exhibition with
the Canadians was the play of freshman LaTanya
Irving. She showed that she could run the offense
and bring the Ags up the court even against the
press.
This is important because last year when Roper
was not in the game and the other team pressed,
A&M would fall apart as the Houston game in
Houston showed.
Seniors Nette Garrett and Lisa Jordon will be
getting help from sophomore Diane DeCree.
DeCree, a Proposition 48 casualty last year, promises
to help A&M get physical down inside under the
basket. Against the Canadians she bullied her way
for several rebounds and appeared to intimidate
several Canadians with her aggressive play.
A&M also has two sisters who will give the team
depth at guard. Junior Lori Dillard, a transfer
athlete, helped lead Temple Junior College to a
conference championship last year. Lori showcased
her talent in the Lady Aggie Classic scoring 16poinis
and giving both Herner and Roper some needed
rest.
Lori’s sister, freshman Sheri Dillard, was the No,
13 prospect in the state on the Houston Chronicles
list of top high school players. She averaged 18
points a game her senior year and plays excellent
defense as many of the McNeese State Cowgirls will
tell you.
Hickey’s most promising recruit could end upon
the bench because of all the talent ahead of her.
Freshman Vanessa Edwards, at 6-2, gives the Aggies
talent and height. She could be called on to give
Jordon a rest, but because of her lack of experience
it may be a while before she sees some playing time.
Edwards has played well when given the chance.but
she is usually the last one off the bench.
The main reason why this team should win the
SWC is because of its coach. Hickey has always been
a winner. Before coming to A&M she coached Kanas
State. She never had less than 23 wins in the five
years that she was there and turned the program
into a Big Eight powerhouse.
Mark my words — A&M will win the SWC or at
least beat Texas once.
Suspending players not new to Holtz
CAR POOL: Di.
turn. Student des.
(713)578-5032. San
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Notre Dame as
sistant coach Pete Cordelli learned that Lou
Holtz had suspended the team’s leading rusher
and top receiver-punt returner on the eve of Sat
urday’s game against Southern Cal, it was, to
quote Yogi Berra, deja vu all over again.
Cordelli was a member of Holtz’s staff at Ar
kansas. Before the 1978 Orange Bowl, Holtz sus
pended three of the Razorbacks’ key players for
violating team rules.
Great, just great, grumbled some alumni and
fans. The win-at-all-cost crowd complained that
the disciplinary action sabotaged whatever
chance Arkansas had of upsetting favored Okla
homa. If Holtz wanted to penalize the players,
couldn’t he at least wait until after the bowl.
But Holtz stood Firm, and what transpired that
night under a festive Miami moon has since be
come a part of Arkansas football lore. Before Ar
kansas went onto the field, Holtz gave the team
the greatest pep talk Cordelli said he has ever
heard.
Despite being 23-point underdogs, the Hogs
were wild-eyed with enthusiasm. They were re
ady to hit the field running. But just as the Ra
zorbacks started to charge out of the dressing
room, word came that the Rose Bowl was run
ning late and that NBC was delaying the Orange
Bowl kickoff for 15 minutes.
Inside the head of the Hogs’ bookish-looking
coach, wheels began to turn. What could Holtz
do to prevent an emotional letdown? Cordelli
picks up the story.
“He called the players together and said, ‘I’ll
tell you what we’re going to do. I travel around
and speak a lot, and I’m always looking for new
material. You guys tell me some jokes and I’ll use
them in my speeches.’
“Dan Hampton looks at me, like, ‘Is he se
rious?’ Finally, one guy told a joke, and then
Coach told one, and it got going and by the time
the TV official came back, everyone was laugh
ing. On the third play, we recovered a fumble,
and it was 14-0 in the first quarter.”
Arkansas won, 31-6.
Now, Cordelli thought, here we are again, an
other place another time, but a similar situation,
only this time the stakes are higher. Much
higher. No. 1 Notre Dame vs. No. 2 Southern Cal
was the showcase of the college football season.
The battle of the unbeatens. A sellout at the LA
Coliseum.
Although Holtz tried to downplay the signifi
cance of the contest, his counterpart, USC coach
Larry Smith regarded the showdown as a na
tional championship match.
“The winner will be the odds-on favorite to
win it all,” Smith said, and added the proclama
tion, “It’s truly America’s game.”
On paper, it looked as if Notre Dame would
need all its weapons to beat Southern Cal, which
was favored and playing at home. But the Irish
didn’t have them.
Friday night, Holtz met with his team and in
formed the players that he had suspended tail
back Tony Brooks and flanker-punt returner
Ricky Watters.
Brooks and Watters arrived 40 minutes late
for a Friday evening team meeting. Then
players said they had borrowed a friend’scar
gone to a shopping mall and, after leavingll
mall, couldn’t locate the car in the parkinglot
Brooks and Watters spent Friday nightat
team’s hotel and returned to South Bendoi
Saturday morning flight.
So Notre Dame went into the game against
nation’s top-ranked rushing defense with
their tailback, Brooks, who had averaged
yards per carry. Gone, too, was Watters, who
year had returned punts of 81 and 66 yards!
touchdowns.
Before kickoff, Roger Valdiserri, P
Dame’s associate athletic director, contempt
the weight of the suspensions.
“It’s tough. You ask yourself, Tf I was
(Holtz’s) place, what would I do? Under thee
cumstances, do I maybe bend the rules alii
Valdiserri turned palms up. “You can’t.”
Had Notre Dame lost, Holtz would have
ready-made excuse had he chosen to use it,
though, knowing him, he wouldn’t have. But
Irish didn’t miss the suspended players any® 1 '
than Holtz’s Arkansas club did in that Orafi
Bowl.
Afterward, Holtz said his decision to suspj
two key players could have divided the Irish
his players backed their coach. “You’ve g<
have integrity. Integrity is Notre Dame,'
safety George Streeter.
Would other college head coaches have M
the other way given what was at stake?
