Cards fail against Cajuns
By MIKE MCDEVITT
UP sports editor
If the first half of Lamar’s 24-0 loss to
Southwestern Louisiana Saturday in
Lafayette was graded on the two teams’
neatness, both sides would have failed.
The two teams combined for eight first-
half turnovers, with the Cards contributing
five.
The first offensive play of the game for
Lamar set the trend when Parnell Lykes,
Raywood junior, started up the middle and
lost the football on the LU 27.
The first Cajun score came six plays
later when Cajun auarterback Don
Wallace rolled right for a two-yard
touchdown
One Card noticed absent was Lamar’s
leading receiver, Herbert Harris, Houston
senior. Harris was suffering from a
101-degree temperature and wasn’t allow-
ed to make the trip.
The Cards’ offense suffered through the
first half, repeatedly gaining yardage and
then turning the ball over to the Cajuns.
Cardinal quarterback Fred Hessen,
Banning, Calif., senior, was particularly
troubled, completing only five of 16 passes
and throwing three first-half interceptions.
“You just can’t turn the ball over as
many times as we did and expect to win,”
said Lamar coach Ken Stephens. “This is
going to be a really tough game for us to
evaluate. We just didn’t play the kind of
football we are capable of playing.”
Stephens made one change in the Car-
dinal offense when he brought in
Brazoswood freshman Dale Brannan to
replace Hessen at the end of the second
quarter. Brannan stayed in as the Card
signal-caller after the intermission.
Brannan drove the Cards to 149 second-
half yards while completing nine of his 19
passes for 79 yards. Brannan also rushed
for 37 yards.
“Brannan did just as good a job as
anyone else for us out there the second
half,” Stephens said. "He didn’t throw any
interceptions and did a good job running
the ballclub.”
The Cajun quarterbacks had a much
easier time, combining excellent field
position with a strong rushing attack to
help clinch their first win over a current
Southland Conference member this
season.
The Cardinal defense had their backs to
the wall most of the evening, having to bat-
tle both the Cajuns and their own fatigue.
The Cajuns had the ball for more than 18
minutes in the first half.
Punter Ricky Fernandez, Pasadena
freshman, continued his string of strong
performances. His first kick of the game
traveled 56 yards, rolling dead on the USL
16. Fernandez improved on that kick later
in the game, booting his longest kick this
season, a 57-yarder in the fourth quarter.
The Cards return home this week to host
new Southland Conference member Nor-
theast Louisiana (Monroe) in the 1982
homecoming game. Lamar will take a 3-4
record into the game, while the Indians
have a 6-2 mark so far this season.
The Indians will bring a 3-1 conference
record to Beaumont, having lost to con-
ference leader Louisiana Tech (Ruston).
The Bulldogs were the Cardinals’ first con-
ference foe this season, beating Lamar
40-13, to give them their 0-1 mark in the
SLC.

Cardinal linksters
head to California
By JAY TOLER
UP staff writer
The Lamar men’s golf team will
see how they stack up against some
of the strongest teams in the country
when they travel to Fresno, Calif., to
compete in the Fresno
University/Pepsi-Cola Invitational
Tournament, Thursday-Saturday.
The 32-team field includes nine of
last year’s top 10 finishers at the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion championship tournament, in-
cluding defending NCAA champion
Houston.
“We’re extremely excited about
participating in this tournament,”
golf coach Gregg Grost said,
“because it will give us the chance to
beat a bunch of teams we’ve been
trying to get in the position to beat
for a long time.”
Grost is confident that a strong
showing by his golfers in the tourna-
ment could propel the Cardinals into
the national rankings.
“This tournament is the largest
and most competitive one in the
country,” Grost said. “If we do well
and finish in the top 10 (in the tour-
nament), there’s a chance we could
make the Top 20 poll when it is
released in the spring.”
The Cardinal linksters who will
participate in the tournament are
Mike Dikes, Fort Worth, Texas,
sophomore, the defending Southland
Conference champion; Kevin Dillen,
Paris, Texas, senior; Carl Bielstein,
San Antonio, Texas, senior; Trevor
Dodds, Windhoek, South Africa,
sophomore; and Kelly Gibson, New
Orleans freshman.
The tournament will take place at
the San Joaquin golf course, which
will also be the site for this year’s
NCAA Championship.
Fleener: Shooting for the top
By JOE RUTLAND
XJP staff writer
One of the brightest hopes for
Lamar’s swim team this year says she
wants to repeat or better her perfor-
mance of last year.
Beth Fleener, Anchorage, Alaska,
Sophomore, is coming off what turned
out to be a successful first year for her
on the Cardinal swim team.
Last year, Fleener, a biology major,
broke school records in the 500-
(5:03.8), 1000- (10:38.09), and
1650-meter (17:41.82) freestyle races.
Fleener also teamed up to set another
school record in the 800-meter free
relay race with a time of 7:37.72.
“I would like to compete at the na-
tional and collegiate levels in the
future,” Fleener said.
Fleener credits some of her success
to her coach, Karen Bussell. “I really
love Coach Bussell,” Beth said,
“because she is so crazy and keeps us
loose if we get nervous.”
Beth Fleener
Fleener said the people of the Lamar
community are what she is most fond
of. “The people are what I like best
about Lamar...not so much the place
itself.”
Her choice of biology as a major
resulted from a love of her home state.
"I love Alaska and I want to relate to
others about the landscape and people
that make up the country,” she said.
She has been to other parts of the con-
tinental 48 states before coming to
Lamar, visiting Oregon, California and
the state of Washington.
“The reason I came to Lamar was
that I wanted a change from Alaska,”
Fleener said. “It has been an exciting
change since I had never been to Texas
before.
“The toughest adjustment for me to
make was to get used to the humidity
that is around here.”
Fleener said she is already looking
ahead to the time when she is out of col-
lege and back home in Alaska. “After I
get through with college,” she said, “I
would like to go back to Alaska.
“I would like to use my teachings in
biology,” Fleener said, “to better in-
form those who do not know a lot about
the biological background of Alaska.
“I think my goals are reasonable
ones,” she said, “and I hope that I can
live up to them.”
Lady Cards lose match to Mays
The Lady Cardinal volleyball team
was defeated by the Lady Mavs of the
University of Texas at Arlington, three
games to two Monday in a non-
conference match at McDonald Gym.
UTA won, 15-11, as their net play im-
proved dramatically from what it was
in the preceding two games.
In the fourth game, the Lady Cards
seemed to be almost unbeatable. Deb-
The first game was dominated by the bie Pierce, Niwot, Colo., junior and Pat-
Cards. Solid net play by Karen Walker,
Nederland junior, and Judy Ormsby,
New Orleans junior, was the key as
Lamar defeated the Mavs, 15-4.
ty Taylor, Carson, Calif., freshman, led
die way to a 15-3 thrashing of the Mavs.
The Cardinals continued in that same
fashion in the fifth and final game, but

second game, and the results were the UTA’s record is 1-0 in North zone play

the Southland Conference.
After the match, UTA coach Lisa
Love said, “We were lucky enough to
win the match and get out of town.
Lamar showed a lot of hustle and really
surprised me.
“Lamar really played well,” Love
said, “and they should be given a lot of
credit for their effort.”
Lamar coach Katrinka Crawford said
her team played well, despite the loss.
“Tonight we really decided to play,”
Crawford said, “and I was pleased that
we played as well as we did.”
The Lady Cardinals’ next home game
will be Monday against Southwest
Texas State, San Marcos, in McDonald
Gym at 7 p.m.
