Striving to be best is difficult: it is not however,impossible to be better. We will present the good, thebad, glory and the downfalls; being true to the

Mistakes may occur from time to time, but keep inmind, the newspaper staff is composed of studentswith homework, term papers and all other academicresponsibilities. But, we knew this. That is why aspecial kind of Aggie takes pride in all aspects of thecollege life.

The second baseman is Mamie "Fish" Jones, whois quick and can cover a lot of ground. At shortstopA&T has Valerie Capehart. Capehart without adoubt has the best glove in the infield. AgainstUNC-Wilmington she made a couple of plays anyprofessional baseball star would have been proudof. Playing third base is Frankie Williams. Williamswon't come up with the spectacular defensive play,but she's valuable because she's consistent on herroutine plays and she makes few errors.

To win a championship,a team must have luck aswell as a talented team. The Aggiettes were bothtalented and lucky last year. We know they'retalented this year, but could their luck have runout? We'll find out this week-end. Good luck

There haven't been any major changes in theAggiette team from last year, except for the changein coaches, which hasn't seemed to affect theAggiettes' overall play. A&T enters the tournamentwith another powerful well - coached ball club.

The infield consists of three seniors and afreshman. The freshman is Wanda Austin, alias"Big A." She's a good fielder who makes a nice bigtarget at first base.

The NCAIAW State Softball Tournament will beheld April 25-26 in Graham, N.C. The Aggiettes'state championship will be on the line against sometough competition. Last year the Aggiettes caughtthe tournament by surprise; but, being thedefending champions, they won't catch anyone offguard this year.

Not only did Corbett have to deal with a team thatfailed to winanMEAC game, he had to work outcertain "inside" matters with his team. Next yearwill be different. Corbett will have a team that'll bemore experienced as well as more talented.

By the way, a member of A&T's team has beentalking about transferring. I talked with him aboutit. He's evidently not happy at A&T and I think thechange will benefit the Aggies, as well as theplayer, if he's not happy as an Aggie.

I talked with N.C. A&T basketball coach DonCorbett Monday. Corbett is looking forward to nextseason. This year Coach Corbett suffered throughone of his mostfrustrating seasons as a basketball

"In the trials, WilliamJoyner and Ken Jefferies beattheir men by at least a head,but the officials gave it to theiropponents," stated Pinckney."Quill Ferguson qualified forthe 440 by beating hisopponent. But the officialsagain gave it to the other guy.In the 880, Quill was trippedand pushed down. It wasunbelievable."

Holmes won the triplejump, as usual, along withreceiving fourth and secondplace honors in the long jumpand the javelin, respectively.

This means A&T will be short-handed in itsgames with Shaw University and High PointCollege. The Aggies are currently 7-7.

Groomes, being the disciplinarian that he is,suspended the players who missed practice, somefor one game and others for two games.

Groomes, trying to lift A&T out of its currentslump, scheduled practice for Saturday. Some ofthe players decided that, since they couldn't go toNorfolk and Delaware, they would skip practice. Iguess they'd rather watch cartoons instead ofpracticing.

N.C. A&T's baseball coach Mel Groomes is havinghis problems. Last weekend, N.C A&T wasscheduled to travel to Norfolk State and DelawareState; but, due to circumstances beyond Groomes'control, the Aggies were unable to make the trip.

The Aggies must improve ina lot of areas to be successfulnext year. But a year'sexperience can do wonders.
