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

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."
Imagine R&D at 200
Miles Per Hour.
Imagine Yourself at
Hoechst Celanese.
At Hoechst Celanese, we used our imagination to
find the toughest testing ground for our high-tech prod
ucts for the passenger car of the future. We chose
Innovator, our Indy race car. We call it our 200 mile per
hour laboratory on wheels. This kind of innovation from
our creative men and women has helped us develop
new products —super-strength fibers for seat belt yarn,
ultra high molecular weight polyethylene for skid plates,
polyarylate for warning light lenses, and FBI flame
retardant fibers for race drivers’ suits —to make cars
perform better and make you safer in them. These are
just a few examples of how we turn the right ideas into
the right products. If you want to put your imagination to
work, imagine yourself at Hoechst Celanese.

"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

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

she better hold it down."
Yet the Hardts haveeachfoin

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.
