Coach Jolley knows
his team is frightening
by Michael Kw*>
Walking across campus, the
feeling hits you. You open the
big double tinted glass doors. You
walk, no you saunter, through
the musty hallowed hall. About
half way there, you gaze upward
and sec the look. A look one
would get if the Dodgers won
the World Scries No, better yet,
a look one would get if the Cow-
boys won a game. It’s beaming
with pride, dripping with devi-
ous intent and sinister confi-
dence. You can almost hear the
laugh of Boris Karloff in the
distance. But look for no Fred-
die Krueger here, this is just
the menacing look of Coach
Charles Jolley, knowing he has
perhaps the best group of
basketball players ever assem-
bled at Texas Wesleyan. And it’s
downright scary.
If you are faint hearted and
frightened easily, please read no
further. These words are not in-
tended for the meek and squem-
ish. Let's start with the new-
comers. Rodney Nobles, a for-
ward at 67”, transferred from
Fresno St. He’s a senior, he's
hungry to play and he’ll be one
of the tri-captains.
“He’H probably lead us in re-
bounds if he concentrates," said
Coach Jolley.
Also at 67’’ is George “Slim-
Slam” Adams who is developing
a penchant for nicknames. Slam
is quite simply a very talented
offensive weapon. On defense,
he is a hawk. Adams transferred
from New Mexico and will be a
senior as well as Nobles.
“Both he and Rodney will be
tough to stop,” said Jolley, with
emphasis on tough.
Then there’s Ricky Harris, All-
State in high school two years
running with a 29 point per
game average.
"Offensively, he is where he
should be. Defensively, he’s
somewhere between here and
Pluto,” said Jolley.
Student employment: Work
out of your home on the phone
(sales). Call 282-2417 for de-
tails. Lou Otto, American Busi-
ness Managers, 105 Bedford
Out of the Woodlands from Mc-
Cullough comes a quick 6'2”
jumper that can shoot the lights
out, Penn Mallory. He and Rick
were two of the top 100 recruits
in Texas
Another new face at guard will
be Terry Talley, a transfer from
Colorado St. and playing his high
school ball at nearby Duncanville.
Hold your breath and keep from
screaming because these are only
the new kids. . . .
Returning will be "The Fish,”
Jeff Kalbfliesch a 6'6” senior
who averaged 13.7 points per
game with a 56’; mark from the
field. Jeff is coming off an All-
Conference year and is hoping
to have a banner finale.
Leading the break once again
will be the Rocket Man, Rod
Gordon who led the team in as-
sists, steals and minutes played
while filling the hole with 11
points per game. Rod also held
All-Conference honors while pick-
ing up Freshman of the Year.
Rodell Smith will join Gordon
in the backcourt and bomb from
China. Smith had a 467 clip
from three-point land. Gordon
and Smith will have opponents
gasping in awe as one of the
most feared guard duos around
Sharing time at the post will
be Wayne DeLeon and Jave Me-
Caskill. On DeLeon Jolley said,
"If this man had heart he'd be
in the N.B.A.”
A trio of backup guards will
see time this year including de-
fensive specialist Charles John-
son, John Saladin, who earned
Academic All-American, and
steady Brad Simmons. They round
out a bench that put in 20+
points per game last year.
If the team inspires fright, the
schedule does as well. The Rams
will face eight Division I schools
including Indiana State, home of
Larry Bird’s younger brother
Eddie. Another toughie will be
last year's conference champion
and archrival St. Mary’s.

Lady Rams fall short in tourney
Lady Rams had to get tough.
They were physically drained and
had to be mentally alert. The
first team they met was Mid-
western State. The Spikers won
the match 15-2, 15-11.
The finals put the Spikers
against the Montvallo Lady Fal-
cons. This last match was too
much. Texas Wesleyan lost in
two games, 15-11, 15-11. They
took second in the tournament.
(Continued from Page 1)
Rams into a third game. The
Spikers prevailed in the match,
15-11, 12-15, 15-9.
The last match of the day was
against Texas Lutheran College.
The Lady Rams were stunned in
game one, losing 15-5. In game
two they put up more of a fight,
winning 15-12. The Spikers walk-
ed over TLC in game three 15-2.
The next day started with a
match against former District
Eight rival, Midwestern State.
Hughes got an opportunity to
get her second team some play-
ing time. They took game one
15-9. In game two it went to the
wire with TWC on top, 18-16.
The next victims were the Rat-
tlers of St. Mary’s University. The
Spikers took kame one 15-5.
Hughes substituted freely in
game two and TWC won 16-14.
"The tournament has been real
good for us,” Hughes said.
"We’ve won every match and
need to win one more for the
playoffs. It will be great for us
to play all day and come out on
top. We have to keep up mental-
ly. I’ve been trying to play
everyone. Everybody has hurt
legs and shoulders. It all comes
down to mental toughness."
The last match of pool play
was against Southern Nazarene.
The Spikers pulled ahead to win
17-15. Southern Nazarene could
not play as in game one. The
Spikers walked, 15-4.
"The tournament has been
good,” Stephanie McLaughlin
said. "We’ve had some tough
games. The tournament has help-
ed us to work well with each
other."
Going into the playoffs, the
“They were just tired," Hughes
said. "The people are out of
shape. They played nine matches
but by the middle of the season
the team should be in shape.”
Montvallo lost its first two
matches to Southwestern and
TWC respectively. "After they
lost their first two matches, they
just seemed to get better,”
Hughes said.
