I t's a good
thing Texas
A&M is
playing South

on Halloween
day.
That way,
R.C. Slocum
can go trick-or-
treating
through the
Cotton Bowl
this weekend
dressed in a red
coaching jacket,
gray pants and
a red hat.
That's right, Slocum. Here's your
chance. This is the day to do your best
John Jenkins impersonation.
As much as we all may hate him, as
much as we despise the being of the
most unsportsmanlike coach on the
face of the earth, Jenkins is good at do
ing one thing: Embarrassing an oppo
nent.
So what if it wins him no friends?
So what if everyone in the world criti
cizes Jenkins for rubbing the noses of
poor teams like the Ponies in their own
mess? Just look at last season, and we
will all see why, for one day, Slocum
needs to think like he's coaching
Cougar High.
Last season, Jenkins had an early
season matchup with eventual nation
al champion Miami after completely
demoralizing Louisiana Tech in the
season opener. Jenkins was traveling
to the Sunshine State with a less-than-
average offensive line and a defense
that was even worse, which everyone
would see during the middle of the

Sports Editor of THE BATTALION
AUSTIN —When the Texas A&M Lady
Aggies hosted the University of Texas on
Oct. 7, Texas swept through G. Rollie
White Coliseum in three straight games,
finishing A&M off in a match that lasted
less than an hour.
Wednesday night in Austin, the Lady
Longhorns picked up where they left off
three weeks ago, taking the Lady Aggies
down in three games by scores of 15-10,
15-3 and 15-11.
Texas, now 18-3, 7-1 in Southwest
Conference play, disposed of A&M in
front of a Recreational Sports Center
record crowd of 2127 despite playing
without starters Angie Breitenfield and
Errica Hibben, both of whom were out
with an injury. The Lady Aggies fall to
12-9, 3-5 in conference play.
The Lady Aggies finished the match
with a minus .009 hitting percentage, and
the Lady Longhorns hit .236.
In the first game, neither team was
able to put the ball down offensively as
Texas' .132 hitting percentage outdid
A&M's .063. The Lady Aggies had only
10 kills on 32 attempts compared to the
Lady Longhorns' 14 kills on 38 attempts.
In game two, Texas looked as if they
had never lost Breitenfield and Hibben,
cruising past A&M by a score of 15-3. Af
ter opening the match with a 6-0 run, the
Lady Longhorns saw the Lady Aggies
fight back to a 6-3 score before going on a
9-0 run to seal the win and put A&M
down two games to none.
The Lady Aggies finished game two
with a minus .158 hitting percentage.
Junior Katy Jameyson and sophomore
Sarny Duarte led the Lady Longhorns
through game two, combining for 11 kills
between them.
Jameyson, who finished the match
with a .400 hitting percentage thanks to
10 kills on 20 attempts and only two er
rors, said the Lady Aggies played her
squad a tougher match this time, but that
her team played well enough offensively
to pull out the win.
"They attacked a lot stronger this time
and played quite a better in the middle
than they did last time," Jameyson said.
"Their outside people pounded the ball,
but our outsiders pounded it, too.
"We just had a pretty good night of
fensively."
In the final game, the Lady Aggies
fought back from a 9-5 deficit to tie the
game at nine before Texas head coach
Mick Haley decided to call a time-out to
regroup his troops. Texas went on a 3-0
run after the break to take a 12-9 lead,
then finished off A&M 15-11.
A&M head coach A1 Givens said he
felt Texas wasn't as strong without the
two injured starters, but said they still
had enough talent to keep the Lady Ag
gies from taking this match to four
games.
"They were definitely more vulnerable
without Breitenfield and Hibben, but we
would be too if we lost two of our
starters," Givens said. "I thought we
would be able to extend the match and
make it go more than three games with
them out, which was something we need
ed to do to win this match."
Haley also said the Lady Aggies
played better this time, but that inconsis
tency on offense kept them from being
able to extend the match.
"I thought they served and passed re
ally well," Haley said. "They had quite a
bit of trouble generating offense, though,
and I thought that was their downfall."
Givens said his A&M squad had not
been playing up to the potential he felt it
had, and said the Lady Aggies didn't
show Texas how much talent there really
was on the team.
"I know we can compete at a higher
level than we have been," Givens said. "I
don't want 'to take anything away from
Texas, because they are a great team. But
I know we are capable of playing better
than this."
The Lady Aggies will now travel to Ba
ton Rouge this weekend for two games,
taking on Louisiana State and Ole Miss
before returning home next Wednesday
to host the University of Houston in con
ference play.
