Page 6 Texas A&M SPORTS The Battalion Lady Aggies face California By K. LEE DAVIS Sports Writer of THE BATTALION The Texas A&M Lady Aggie volleyball team will put their home unbeaten streak on the line Friday as they take on the Univer sity of California-Berkeley Golden Bears at 7 p.m. at G. Rollie White Coliseum. A&M is 2-0 at home, and 5-1 overall after winning a four-game match over Southwest Texas State Wednesday night, 15-11, 8-15, 15- 6,15-8. Freshman setter Suzy Wente turned in a solid performance with 29 assists and 16 digs as ju nior setter/outside attacker Gen- ny Wood added 28 assists. Senior outside attacker Eliza beth Edmiston and sophomore outside attacker Karen Richards each had 16 digs, and Richards added 13 kills along with Kim Mitchell. A&M head coach A1 Givens ex pects to have a tough time against Berkeley. "They're going to be a bigger team physically," Givens said. "They're going to transition the middle a lot quicker, and our mid dles are going to have to counter." Givens stressed that the Golden Bears would probably play a stronger game than which the Ag gies are accustomed. "Their outsides are big and powerful," Givens added. Co-captain Wood agreed with Givens that the Aggies had a lot to Tulsa Continued from Page 5 up 101 yards on 29 carries. Throw in an impressive lineback ing crew, led by seniors Barry Minter and Chris Bratcher, and it is not hard to see that this game probably will not be your average home blowout. "They've got 15 of those guys that we played against that are back," Slocum said. "They've got an excellent secondary back, and the linebacker, Minter, is a great player. He's probably a first round draft choice. "Most of the team they had last year, which was a 10-2 team, they've got most of that team back." In addition to their edge in se nior leadership, Tulsa also enjoys a relatively injury-free lineup. Something the Aggies can now only dream about. ^We're doing pretty well," Rader said. "We've got some guys that are nicked up, but noth ing too serious. We're hoping to have those guys back this week." On the other hand, the Aggies have turned out to be the South west Conference's version of a MASH unit. All-SWC guard John Ellisor is the latest casualty, hav ing suffered a knee injury against Louisiana State. He joins a grow ing list of those on the shelf that includes fellow starters Steve Kenney and Brian Mitchell. "As you get toward the end of the season and people have the inevitable injuries, a team like us might be can sustain a few more injuries than somebody else could," Slocum said. "There are some teams where their starting guys are as good as ours. But af ter you get a couple of injuries, you have to fall back maybe to a guy that's not quite as talented as we have."

"Our passing has got to be con sistent, and our blocking has got to get back on track," Woods said. Woods also thinks that the Golden Bears will be a challee for A&M. "They're all going to begin volleyball players, and they probably going to be a reallyg® blocking team," Wood added. Rivalry Continued from Page 5 said his father tried to stay out of the ribbing that he and Amy were getting from last year's loss. "To tell the truth, he was prob ably right in the middle," Jim said. 'He wasn't getting into the conversations as much as my grandmother, my uncle, or my aunt. They're the obnoxious ones. "He was glad Tulsa won. He was kind of happy in a snide way, but he wasn't getting as berzerk as the rest of them." Rhonda has been ensnared with the spirit of Aggieland, even though practically her entire fami ly supports the Hurricane. She caused quite a stir when she root ed boisterously for A&M in last year's game. "I had to calm her down a little last year," Charles Hardt said. "She was yelling and screaming finally told her that if shewante to keep from having a familym she better hold it down." Yet the Hardts haveeachfoin themselves taking up for the in maroon. Jim said thattlif both go to as many gamesinKy Field as they can, and they bet made an appearance at lastyeai Cotton Bowl. Hardt recounted a special tin he and his family had last Thank giving. He rented an RV, tooN For College Station and watebs Bonfire and the Texas gamewl his family. "It was great," he said. “ were humpin' it out therewith rest of them." His family assures that hew be humpin' it again Saturday^ old allegiances die hard. And Amy has anything to say abouti Hardt better root hardfortb home team. "The Aggtes better yviryorlj going to catch some major h "'' Medrano Continued from Page 5 your date to reject you for the next game because he/she has to record "Beverly Hills 65432," or whatever that show is called. ■ Fifth, take out an emergency loan. Your date might want some refreshments and the con cession stands don't accept Ag gie Bucks. ■ Sixth, learn the words to the Aggie War Hymn. If you can't, then silently mouth the word "watermelon" over and over again. It will look like you're singing, and my sixth grade mu sic teacher said it's a sure way to get your date to think you're way cool. ■ Seventh, do not wear deodor ant. By the third quarter, you'll have lots of elbow room. No friends, but lots of room. ■ Eighth, chances are you'll probably be on the third deck somewhere in the mesosphere. You might not be able to see who did what on thefieldso just cheer when the people be low you cheer. ■ Ninth, don't ever boo. Let the winless people in Austin that. Do things the Aggie way, be nice to the other school's team and fans, humiliate them for four quarters and be nice them some more. Their kids may be prospective Aggies, and it will help recruiting. ■ Tenth, pay attention to the yell leaders. It won't be cool when you scream 'hell' while 70,000 other people yell gigem'. ■ Eleventh, leave the booze at home. Again, this isn't Austin. Besides, MD 20/20 and the ramps leading to the third deck don't mix. ■ Twelfth, the Tulsa game is not on national television so don't bother painting your face in hopes of getting on the air When the Aggies are on nation al television, go ahead and paint your face. You might come on television, and it's a great way to let your family know you're doing fine.
