Aggies need a
better showing
in football polls
T exas
A&M
head
coach R. C.
Slocum says he
doesn't care
what happens
in the college
football polls,
and I believe
him.
Further
more, I'm glad
he doesn't care
since he has a
lot of things to
take care of
that he can
control and
doesn't need to worry about the
things he can't.
But I care what happens in the As
sociated Press Top 25 poll, and I'm
willing to bet that University Presi
dent William Mobley cares, too.
Some estimated that the difference
in revenue between being in first or
second place, is a cool $10 million,
and I'm sure Mobley could figure out
where to spend it.
Three times this season, our fifth-
ranked Aggies have been jumped in
the poll because A&M was either
unimpressive in victory or didn't play
at all.
This past weekend, Alabama vault
ed ahead of the Aggies into fourth
place as we sat idle.
The coaches must like A&M be
cause their poll didn't allow the Ag
gies to suffer this ignominy this week,
moving them up to the fourth spot af
ter our old friends from Arkansas
shocked everyone, including them
selves, by beating then fourth-ranked
Tennessee.
But for the purposes of this argu
ment, the coaches poll is as worthless
as Confederate money since they

Baylor up next for Lady Aggies
A&M tries to end
current drought
against Lady Bears
By DON NORWOOD
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
If you want to look up the definition of
urgency, do not ask Webster. Just take a
look at the situation the Texas A&M vol
leyball team finds itself in right now.
The Lady Aggies' (10-7, 1-3 in the
Southwest Conference) hopes for postsea
son play hinge on tonight's 7:30 match in
Waco against Baylor, a team that is mak
ing last year's fifth-place finish in the
SWC a distant memory with a 17-6 record
and a rank of 14th in the NCAA South
Region poll.
If Baylor manages to defeat A&M
tonight, that will leave them just two
wins shy of last year's season total of 20.
A&M head coach A1 Givens said Tues
day that although Baylor's schedule has
not been on par with the Lady Aggies, the
Lady Bears' record so far this season is
nothing to take lightly.
"They've not played the kind of sched
ule we have, but that many wins proves
that they're pretty good," Givens said.
"This is probably the best Baylor team
they've had."
The team was treated to a pep talk be
fore Tuesday's practice by former A&M
softball pitcher Shawn Andaya, a person
that knows a little bit about teamwork af
ter having led the Lady Aggies to the
1987 national championship.
Judging from the attitudes of the play
ers themselves, Andaya's encouragement
could not have come at a better time. The
team lost valuable senior leadership this
week after outside attacker Raychelle
Michalke announced her retirement due
to chronic knee problems.
Also, freshman middle blocker Andrea
Williams will take the place of Amy
Kisling in the starting lineup against Bay
lor. Williams said the team has started to
raise its level of intensity
"Everyone is pushing harder, more so
now that we're\in this bind," Williams
said. "Everybody is realizing where we
DARRIN HILL/ Vie Battalion
Senior Elizabeth Edmiston and freshman Andrea Williams will start Wednesday
in the Lady Aggies’ match against Baylor in Waco’s Ferrell Center at 7:30 p.m.
stand."
Williams has had little playing time in
the past few matches, but she said she has
felt the pressure of being thrust into the
limelight.
"I feel a lot of pressure, but I feel a lot
before any game, really," Williams said.
"I'm just trying to play my best.
"I'll go into it (the Baylor match) the
same way I go into any game."

Offensive line
brings intensity
to A&M football
By J, DOUGLAS FOSTER
Sport* Editor of THE BATTA LION
Texas A&M tailback Greg Hill said
if his team needed a few yards for a
first down, he had no doubts that his
offensive line would give him the hole
he needed to have a chance to make
the yardage.
And the Aggies'' most recent win
over Texas Tech proved that Hill's
confidence in his line may be justified.
During that game, the A&M of
fense, Jed by linemen Dexter Wesley,
Chris Dausin, John Ellisor, Tyler Har
rison and Jason Mathews, amassed
467 yards of total offense, 381 of those
coming on the ground. Those totals
were good enough to rank as A&M's
top offensive game of the season, re
turning the Aggie running game to its
1991 Southwest Conference champi
onship form.
One of the biggest sparks to the
■ of the line was the return of El-
, the only senior on the unit. El
lisor, who provides experience at the
right guard position as well as emo
tional support to the rest of his squad,
was sidelined since the Sept. 5 contest
against Louisiana State with an in
jured knee.
Hill said having Ellisor back meant
more than just having his physical
abilities on the line.
"He's one of our team leaders, and
all the linemen look up to him because
he's the only senior mere," Hill said.
"He came out pumped up and ready
to play, and the rest of the team got
pumped and played at that level."
Dausin, a junior from San Anto
nio's Roosevelt High School, said hav
ing Ellisor back on his right wing gave
him confidence as well as adding
comfort to the gameplan.
"It was great having John back
against Tech," Dausin said. "Since he
plays next to me, it helps me a lot be
cause we're used to each other, and I
usually know what he's going to do.
