The 12th day of
Christmas my
true love gave...
"O
Y^ydia!
Don't you know
I need you,
baby? Don't
you know I love
you? Marry me
Lydia, please!"
"You know I
can't leave Ken
in his condition.
He would die if
he knew that I
was cheating on
him with his
brother's best
friend's dentist's
hairdresser's
best boy grip."
"But what about our baby, Lydia?"
Well return right after these messages.
"Are you having trouble finding a
gift this holiday season for that special
sports nut who likes Christmas carols
on your list? Why not get them Time-
Life's new music anthology "Noel's
Athletic Jubilee". Just look at what
you get:
"Dan Dierdorf is Coming to Town
Repeating Everything Frank
Gifford Says"
-- Neil Diamond
"Christmas Time for the L.A.
Kings"
— Run D.M.C.
"Hark! The Herald Rockets Play"
— Frank Sinatra
That's not all. You'll also get Bar
bara Streisand's new version of
"Frosty the Snowman" retitled "Leon
the Cowboy:"
"Leon the Cowboy
Was a happy, jolly soul
Until he lost a cold game
With his frozen brain
By sliding into a blocked field goal"

The Battalion
Texas A&M's men's basketball team will try to avenge
last years' 98-96 overtime loss to the University of Neva
da Las Vegas when the two teams meet at G. Rollie
White Coliseum today at 7 p.m.
Although A&M head coach Tony Barone said a win
against UNLV is no more important than a win against
any other team, senior point guard David Edwards said
the "devastating loss" last year makes the game extra
special.
"When you lose to a good nationally known team like
UNLV," Edwards said, "given the fact that we didn't
lose by that much , but we lost, and we had a chance of
winning and didn't take advantage of that, we will be
hyped.
"It is sort of personal. (It's) nothing personal against
the (UNLV) players, but a personal thing with us to win
or lose. Everybody wants to do what it takes to be a win
ner, and we are going to do the things it takes to be a
winner."
UNLV's senior All-America candidate point guard
Dedan Thomas said it is not fair to compare last years
game because the Runnin' Rebel - minus J.R. Rider,
Kevm ivy/THE Battalion p vr p c Gray and Dexter Boney - are a different team from
guard David Edwards looks for a free pair the one t ^ iat defeated the Aggies.

Lady Aggies roll over Lamar, go 6-0
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
The Texas A&M women's bas
ketball team continued their quick
start out of the gate by blasting
Lamar University 85-55 at G. Rollie
White Coliseum Tuesday night.
The Lady Aggies' record now
stands at 5-0, the team's quickest
start since a 6-0 beginning in the
1977-78 season.
Six Lady Aggies scored in dou
ble figures, led by sophomore cen
ter Martha McClelland who had 13.
Sophomore guard Lisa Branch
recorded a double-double with 10
points and 10 assists, while junior
forward Cami Williams added a ca
reer-high 10 points.
Williams said the team was able
to score at will against the Cardi
nals because of A&M's balanced at
tack.
"Last year we really didn't have
the perimeter shooters that we do
now," Williams said.
"It always helps to have a
perimeter game and an inside
game, and now we have both."
Lamar's highly-touted senior
center Travesa Gant led the Cardi
nals with 15 points and a game-
high 19 rebounds, but also recorded
an unwanted triple-double by turn
ing the ball over 10 times.
Once again, A&M's victory was
padded by solid team defensive
play.
Head women's basketball coach
Lynn Hickey said the key was the
zone defense that frustrated the
