Students interested in par-
ticipating in the fall in-
tramural softball tournament
have until Thursday to file
entries.
Any full-time student is
eligible and may obtain his
or her entry sheet by seeing
either Charles Waltman or
Dean Fox, physical educa-
tion professors in the physi-
cal education department.
The entries for the tour-
nament, which begins Oct.
13, can be obtained in the
health education building.
The tournament will be at
the Koger Strokes Softball
Diamonds near campus.
The games will be played
at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
reement.
The crowd had their tem-
pers further agitated when a
Shaw serve was called out by
inches.
The Tigers took advantage
of the Rangerette disen-
chantment with the referee
by scoring five consecutive
points to narrow the fast fad-
ing lead to 12-8.

Alita Dillon called a time-out
for the disgruntled home
team, the volleyballers came

as a matter of fact the volleyball team is not bad to watch
either. It beats standing on Houston Street.
For students who want to see some exciting basketball,
the Rangers, men’s basketball team, is their best bet.
Yet the games last year were sparsely attended. Even
Shaw put on her display by
twice spiking the Rangeret-
tes out of trouble and then
putting her serving style in
motion to hit the shot that
did in the Trinity squad.
The second game was to
be a see-saw affair with the
serve bouncing from one
team to another as neither
could take control of the
game.
The Rangerettes jumped
outto a quick 3-0 lead only to
be tied minutes later.
The teams traded scores
until the Rangerettes found
themselves ahead 10-7 with
Trinity serving and closing in
fast.
Rangerette Pat Spicer
then placed a soft shot that
eluded every Trinity player
this side of Alamo Stadium.
The Rangerettes failed to
score giving Trinity the serve
again but then Diaz treated
the fans to an instant replay
of Spicer’s efforts to again
frustrate Trinity.
Then seemingly following
the script of the first game
Trinity committed two fatal
mistakes to fall behind
further 12-7.
Doty Baily then took over
and scored two more points
for the aroused Rangerettes,
one on a blocked shot that
had the crowd on its feet,

are the students.

and the other on a spike that
had the Trinity players off
their feet and on their knees.
Baily’s heroics made the
score 14-7, making Shaws
serving job much easier as
she laced a drive that won
the game 15-7 and the match
two games to none.

watching made Dietrich rest-

Nor surprisingly, there are quite a few such

After the Trinity mistakes
The string of seven points upped the score to 14-8,
by the volleyballers could be
directly attributed to the ex-
cellent serving of Alicia
Marotta.
In fact Marotta accounted
for four of the seven points
as she placed her serves in
areas of the Trinity defense
that kept them off balance.
After Trinity had broken
the seven point scoring
binge with their own streak,
the Rangerettes ignited
another one.
Sparked by Paulette Diaz,
the Rangerettes racked up
five points to take a com-
manding 12-3 lead.
The string was highlighted
by the hustle of Diaz who
scored the most exciting
point of the surge by block-
ing a Tiger spike.

It seems that this year the trend will be the same. The
Rangerettes women’s volleyball team is enjoying its
best start ever and hopes to have a successful year.
Yet in the first two home matches the crowds were
sparse.
The women play an exciting brand of volleyball, not the

No, it is not played half court; no the referees don’t wear

The win gives the
Rangerettes a 2-0 slate for

The Rangerettes will take

take the first of their two-

this season.
Trinity took the lead 1-0
and held it for several mi-

found it difficult to untrack
themselves.
When the Rangerettes did

they did so with a vengance.

Dietrich attributes her ex-
pertise in foosball to Mabrito
who taught her how to play
and continues to coach her.
It was Mabrito who sug-
gested that Dietrich pair up
with Marianne Kohler for
women’s doubles competi-
tion.
Since then Dietrich has
competed in many tourna-
ments placing second in the
city and state tournaments
and now taking national
honors.
“I kept telling myself that
we were going to win. After
we finally beat them, I shook
their hands. I remember
Marianne telling me ‘Wow,
the national champ’,” Diet-
rich said.
With the title of national
champ came a foosball table
and $150.
The strategy Dietrich uses
is simple. “Make your shots
fast enough and accurate
enough to make the goal.”
“I don’t have to do any-
thing mentally before a tour-
nament, but I don’t eat any-
thing or drink anything ex-
cept water because they
upset my stomach,” Dietrich
said.
Dietrich plays the two back
rows of men guarding the
goal in competition. Her job
is to keep the other team
from scoring.
Although she has put
aside practice for the pres-
ent, Dietrich plans to con-
tinue to play tournament
foosball.

The string was broken, but
not by a Rangerette miscue
orTrinity play, but rather by a
controversial call by the re-
feree.
With the Rangerettes
ahead 12-3, and Linda Shaw
serving for the home team,
the Rangerettes ran to per-
fection a play setting up a
devastating spike by Shaw
that appeared to be a winner.
However, the point was
disallowed because, accord-
ing to the referee, Shaw had
touched the net, a no-no in
volleyball.
The crowd on hand did not
agree with the decision and

What started out to be re-
creation for Amy Dietrich,
bio-chemistry major, and her
boyfriend has turned into a
profitable parttime.
Because she became
bored watching her boy-
friend play foosball, Dietrich
started playing the game in
order to have something to
do.
Dietrich is one-half of a
women’s national champion
doubles team.
With her partner,
Marianne Kohler, Dietrich
earned her title at the Na-
tional Tournament of To-
ronado Foosball in Houston
Aug. 2 and 3.
The Dietrich-Kohler team
came out on top of 21
women's doubles teams to
capture the championship
title in that division.
“Even though I’ve played
in many tournaments this is
the first time I’ve ever come
in first,” Dietrich said.
Foosball is a recreational
game that matches pinball
and pool in popularity.
The game involves two
teams of either singles or
doubles playing on a rectan-
gular table.
The object is to get the ball
past your opponents men
and his goalie into a hole at
the opposite end of the table.
The men are controlled by
handles that extend out the
side of the table.
The first team that scores
five points wins the game
and in tournament play the
team must win two out of
three to carry the match.
