WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
^The annual North Texas Invitational
Volleyball Tournament will be held Satur-
day and Sunday in the Women's Gym,
according to Nanci Hood, coach of the
volleyball team.
Usually there are about 12 teams par-
ticipating, but because Homecoming falls
at the same time this year, the number of
tournament entries has been cut, Miss
Hood said.
Sam Houston State University, TWU
and Southwest Texas State University are
the strongest teams Miss Hood said. Other
contestants are Tarrant County Junior
College, UT-Austin and North Texas.

eliminated from the semifinals of the saber

able to obtain more practice time, his re-

For Season Opener

With only 19 days left until the season-
opener against Nebraska, Basketball Coach
Gene Robbins says his team needs some
outside competition.
“Our big problem right now is that the
kids are tired of playing against each other
in practice. They know each other’s moves
and so forth, and playing against each other
is getting dull for them.
“We have scheduled a scrimmage against
outside competition for next Friday, Nov.
17,” Robbins added.
Going into fall practice, the front line
was expected to be one of the most improv-
ed aspects of the team. So far, Robbins
is cautious in appraising the progress in
this area.
“Our front line is capable of playing
well,” he said. “It isn't where we would like
it at this particular time, but it is improving
and the team as a whole is starting to play
like a team.”
Thus far, the first-team front line has
been comprised of Robert Iverson and John
Moody at the forwards and Stanley Black-
mon at center. Robbins says he started al-
ternating forward Jeryl Sasser with Iverson
and Moody Wednesday.
“This is the time to get down to our top
seven or eight men,” he said, “and get
them accustomed to playing with each
other.”
Robbins feels that the strong points of his
front line are its quickness and ability to
score. Defense, he says, is the big question
mark.
Robbins says all three forwards will start
at one time or another during the season.
The one that is on the bench will be avail-
able for immediate duty should one of the
starters not be playing well or be in foul
trouble or something.
Both forwards must go to the boards bet-
ter, Robbins said, and not depend too much
on the extremely strong Blackmon to do
the bulk of the rebounding work. He said
Moody played the best he has during fall
drills last week and that both he and Iverson
are rebounding better.

Cummings Tops
Club in Scoring
Olympic Bid
Falls Short
In Colorado
DENVER (AP) The Oympic torch
will not be passed to the Rocky Mountains
in 1976, top organizers of the Winter Games
said Tuesday after voters in Colorado cut
off state funds for the event.
With 1,253 of 2,045 precincts reporting,
343,832 ballots had been cast to stop state
funding and 232,159 persons had voted to
continue funds.
Clifford Buck of Denver, president of the
U.S. Olympic Committee, said, “Need-
less to say, it is a tremendous disappoint-
ment to me. ! think it’s a tragedy for the
state, and a tragedy for the nation that the
people of Colorado were not aware of the
grtat privilege and great honor to host the
1976 Winter Games.
As returns were coming in Tuesday
night, Gov. John Love said a fund cutoff
for the Olympics would mean “the people
don’t want them and we won’t force it down
their throats.”

The Soccer Club has scored 31 goals
this season, 14 by senior forward John
Cummings, the club’s leading scorer.
Cummings, one of the original members
and founders of the North Texas Soccer
Club in 1970, has been the team’s leading
scorer every year since its beginning.
“Jackie,” as his teammates call him,
is a senior physical education major and
a 1968 graduate of Monterrey, Mexico’s
American School Foundation. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Cummings.
“I STARTED playing soccer as a young-
ster with my friends in Mexico, and grew
up with the game much the same as boys
in America grow up with football,” Cum-
mings said.
“I found soccer in America to be a much
more physical game than it is in Mexico.
American soccer has a ‘last break’ style,
whereas in Mexico the players use more
‘technique’,” Cummings continued.
In 1971 Cummings was selected for the
Texas Collegiate Soccer League (TCSL)
All-Star Team, and based on his perfor-
mance this season he is a likely choice for
the All-Star team again.
In a recent game against Stephen F.
Austin, Cummings scored all four goals
in a 4-0 North Texas victory. He scored
all of the goals in the first half and played
only a few minutes in the second half,
AGAINST UNBEATEN SMI), Cum-
mings scored a goal in the last 15 seconds
to tie the score and keep North Texas in
second place in the northwest division of
the TCSL.
His teammates are often surprised at
his ability to score even in difficult situa-
tions. “Jackie will score when there’s the
least possibility of doing so,” Mike Durr,
former club president, said.
“From 20 yards in, Jackie is one of the
best one-on-one forwards I’ve seen,” Coach
Telmo Franco said.
Coach Franco is concerned about his
team’s offense next year without Cum-
mings. “It will take three or four good
offensive players to replace Jackie,” he
said.
AFTER PLAYING against the Dallas
Tornado professional soccer team, Cum-
mings feels he could play in the professional
league, but has no plans for entering the pro
ranks.
For the past two summers Cummings has
been a coach in the pee-wee soccer league
in Denton. His first pee-wee team won first
place in the league and this past summer
his team finished in second place.
Cummings actively recruits and coaches
new team members for the soccer club
as well. He brought two of this season’s
outstanding players, Mike Durr and Smiley
Howard, into the club and helped to devel-
op their talents.
According to Coach Franco, Cummings
is not only the team’s best offensive player,
but he also provides a great deal of leader-
ship for the team.
CUMMINGS SEES his role a little
differently. “I’ve been given a lot of credit
for our winning record this year,” Cum-
mings said, “but the real credit should go
to Coach Franco. He is the real inspiration
that keeps the team going."
After graduation Cummings plans to
remain active in soccer by coaching in the
pee-wee league and playing on one of the
amateur soccer leagues in the Dallas area.
