A&M Soccer team kicks its way to title The Aggie Men’s Soccer Club put in a great effort in the fall to wia the Texas Collegiate Soccer League champonship with a 13-0- 1 record. Club President Anthony Thomas said, “We’re really proud of our achievement and trying to get more recognition. It was reallv a team effort — I’m proud of the wav we played.” The fall schedule was only the second year of the league, with the Aggies taking thira place in 1987. The leading scorer for A&M was Barry Chubbwith 18 goals. The team had three starting freshmen: John Simpkins at goalie and fullbacks Danny Kenny and Bryan Cession. Latest Rice coach retains optimism HOUSTON (AP) — After a de cade of unprecedented punishment of Southwest Conference schools for recruiting violations, will there fi nally be a dawning of the age of “the Rice way?” Will kice be looked upon as the league’s shining beacon because of its acadamk integrity instead of its laughing stock because of its athletic ineptitude? Probably not. But it’s an intriguing thought’for new Rice football coach Fred Golds mith. “I really believe this is the best time in the last 25 years for the re surgence of schools that have main tained their academic integrity,” Goldsmith said. “This is an. institution that just doesn’t give lip service to academics in athletics. Its one that stands for everything that intercollegiate ath letics is supposed to be.’’ In the past decade, athletics in the SWC has meant cash payments to re cruits, a death penalty for one school and probation for six other institu tions. The woeful Owls haven’t had a winning football season since 1963 and the past season is well docu mented as an 0-11, part of an 18- game losing streak that is the na tion’s longest. Rice and Arkansas are the only SWC schools to escape NCAA sanc tions in this decade. Perhaps the rest of the SWC should join Rice. “It’s happened at Duke, Wake Forest, Northwestern and Vander bilt,” Goldsmith said. “I don’t see any reason why we can’t win again at Rice.” But Goldsmith follows a long line of coaches who thought they could produce a winner under such pris tine conditions. Rice faces big challenges on the field and in the financial ledger for its survival. Rice President Dr. George Rupp says he won’t comment on rumors of a cutback in the school’s athletic bud get “We have just-appointed an ath letic director and coach who recog nize there are some major chal lenges,” Rupp said. “One is to maintain our integrity in the athletic program and to com pete more effectively. Former big leaguer recalls baseball career SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) —Any way you slice it, baseball is a numbers game. Batters shoot for the magic .300 mark, and pitchers set their sights on winning 20 games in a season. Dave Philley is a perfect example of how numbers tell the story in a baseball player's career. He spent 19 seasons in the big leagues while performing for nine teams and answering to 18 man agers But the product of Paris, Texas, did one thing better than any player who ever put a major league uni form on. He earned a spot in the re cord book by his prowess as a pinch hitter. He connected safely nine straight times as a pinch hitter for the Phila delphia Phillies in 1958 and 1959 and set another mark in 1961 by col lecting 24 hits off the bench for Bal timore. Philley. 68, recalled his years in the big leagues during a recent speech before the Sulphur Springs Rotary Club. A switch hitter who was noted for his all-out hustle and dedication to the game, Philley slashed away on such baseball topics as salary- struc ture, the designated hitter rule and fundamentals of the game.

Students $4.00 "The second is to increase reve nues and manage expenses so the funding of athletics here is sustaina ble in the long haul.” Ckildsmith will be given the same opportunity to succeed as his piede- cessor, Rupp said. “We certainly aren't recruiting a new football coach and then cutting resources out from under him,” Rupp said. “I think the rumors are really mistaken there.” But if the losing continues and the crowds continue to dwindle, how long can the school maintain its re solve? “We do have an agreement that we’ll continue to review athletics in all dimensions just as we review all other programs.” Rupp said. "That will take its course." Bobby May was promoted to ath letic director after serving under three athletic directors at Rice and has worked for his alma mater since 1967. “We do have an ongoing financial problem and it’s a problem that we intend to deal with,’ May said. Rupp said completing in intercol legiate athletics is impiortant to Rice. “I think it’s impiortant to have both outstanding academic pro grams and a first rate opportunity for athletes to compete,” Rupp said. “I think it’s piossible to do that in a range of forums, one of which is the Southwest Conference.” Goldsmith isn’t interested in the p>ast. He expects the new age to be a more suitable climate for schools such as Rice. He expects to have better success than his predecessors and he expiecls to Slav longer than they did. (kildsmith replaces Jerry Berndt. who left with two years remaining on his contract to become coach at Temple. Berndt replaced Watson Brown, who departed after two seasons to return to his alma mater Vanderbilt. Now Goldsmith is promising to stay with the program. “They're going to have to carry me out of here dead, sick or fire me,” Cioldsmith said. “I’m going to be here for them (players). 1 prom ised them I intend to remain here at Rice University." They’ve heard that spieech before. “Bill Veeck's theory was, ’If you want to keep a ballplayer happy, pay him.’, " he said. “I also agree with what Pete Rose said when he was traded from Cincinnati to Philadel phia. “Rose made the comment that* 4 No player who ever lived is worth a mil lion dollars, but if the owners are going to pay it I’m going to take it.’ ” Philley’s top salary was $33,000 as a member of the 1954 American League champion Cleveland Indi ans, who finished 68 games above .500 that season with a record of 111-43. Philley estimates he would be making at least $500,000 a year and perhaps as much as $ I million a year oy today’s salary scales. The pinch-hitting champ is against the desigiyited hitter rule, al though he feels he could have re mained around at least three or four more years performing in the DH role. “The way I see it, there are nine guys in the field and those nine guys should come to bat," he said. “Be sides, it separates the managers somewhat. “It’s easy to manage when you don’t have the pitcher coming to oat. I'm certainly against the rule being used in one league and not used in the other league.” Alpha Kappa Psi Largest national Professional Busniess Fraternity Invites You to our Spring Rush Jan. 23 Informational Rush 201 NSC 6:30-9:30 Jan. 26- Rush NUer Timber Creek Party Rm 8-?
