LEE DAVIS Sporlf Writer of THE BATTALION The Texas A&M Lady Aggie volleyball team will attempt to climb back into the conference race Saturday night at 7:00 as the Rice Owls come to College Station looking for their first conference win. A&M head coach A1 Givens is hoping that some fans will stay on campus after the finish of the A&M-Baylor football game and attend the match to cheer the Lady ggies to victory. "If they haven't seen us, then come and watch," Givens said. "They won't be disappointed be cause our players play extremely hard, and we will leave every thing out on the court. "If we can get 2,000 people in here (G.’Rollie White Coliseum), this place will be rockin'." A&M (11-8, 2-4 in Southwest Conference play) is coming off of a tough four-game match loss at the hands of Texas Tech on TVednesday, vyhich ^jck^jd off the second half of the conference sea son. The Lady Aggies will be putting a six-match winning streak on the line against Rice (9- 14, 0-6). A&M defeated the Owls in their first matchup this season on Sept. 30, by a score of 15-4, 15- 2,10-15,15-4. Senior co-captain Elizabeth Ed- miston said that she doesn't ex pect the Aggies to cruise to an easy victory against the Owls this time. "We all expect for them to come out real fired up and ready to play hard," she said. "We're just going to have to be sure that we play our game on our side of the net, and hopefully, that should take care of it." Senior co-captain Kim Mitchell said that the Owls' size could prove to be a threat. "Rice has a couple of big play ers, and they can sneak up on you," Mitchell said. "So we can't take them lightly." Freshman setter Suzy Wente agreed that the Lady Aggies will have to play well to be successful against Rice. "We need to play defense and get our blocking game together and execute all around," Wente said. Edmiston said that she realized A&M needed to win against Rice to start back on track towards a postseason playoff berth. "I don't like to think too much about the pressure, but every time we take the court we haVe a re sponsibility to play as well as we can," Edmiston said. "We're go ing to have to play good ball the rest of the way to even be consid ered for postseason play." Mitchell said that A&M hasn't reached its full potential yet, but not because of lack of effort. "We need to keep working hard in practice," Mitchell said. "The problem, I think, is just up in our heads right now." Givens also said that his team is on the verge of gaining a post season berth, but it needs to play well to reach that goal. "We have to win our three con ference matches here at home, and we have several other matches with teams ranked ahead of us," Givens said. "So if we beat the teams we're supposed to beat and sneak up on one of the others then we should be in a pretty good po sition.' "An 18-14 record should get us in (the post-season), and 20-12 will definitely get us in." Broadcasting legend Red Barber dies at age 84 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Red Barber, the pioneering play-by- play announcer who brought some of baseball's biggest mo ments into the homes of millions during his 33-year career, died Thursday. He was 84. Barber, known as "the OF Red head," had been hospitalized since Oct. 10 when he underwent surgery for an intestinal blockage. Death resulted from pneumonia and kidney complications, hospi tal spokesman Warren Jones said. Barber broadcast games for the Cincinnati Reds (1934-38), Brook lyn Dodgers (1939-53) and New York Yankees (1954-66). While he was with the Dodgers, Barber did play-by-play of the first night baseball game and the first televised game. He was there for such events as Mick ey Owen's missed third strike in the 1941 World Series and Jackie Robinson's breaking of baseball's color line.
