Claims Sports Honors

Men, watch out! *
Women are beginning' to dominate the sports world, too,
and Fresno State College is no exception.
Miss Tommie Slappey, agriculture department secretary,
can lay claim to accomplishments in the sports world that
very few males can top.
Tommie is a pitcher for the
Fresno Rockets, a nationally
ranked woman's soft hall team.
Htr accomplishments include
playing on three Amateur Soft-
hall Association World's Cham¬
pionship Tournament teams.
Sin- hJmi In... Ijeen selected the
outstanding pltrher In the lenffue

won the world's title in 10.13,
i!';,'. and 19.17. They have !>.■. u

heen rated In the top ten nation¬
ally for the last 1,1 years.

loelng 1-0.
"That really shot us down."
Tommli? said. "We were tired and
lost the next game which elim¬
inated us from the tournament."
Tommie had a 11-10 won-lost
record last summer which she
termed as a poor year for her
and the Rocketts.
In her eight years with the
Fresno team, Tommie has com¬
piled better than a .500 won-lost
percentage.   The Rocketts  league
-The Fresno Stole College Collegian-
is made up ot teams In the Los
Angeles  area and   Phoenix.
The Rocketts also play bene¬
fit games against all-star men's
teams and as Tommie puts lt,
"we give them a good battle."
They have won some against the
males but usually end up losing
by close scores.
Tthntnle says she can think ot
no Iwtter way of keeping trim
and healthy. "It fs my way ol
relaxing anil letting down front
everyday chore-," she continued.
During the winter, she and the
other players try to keep In shape
by bowling or playing basketball.
Tommie feels that women's sports
programs should be built up more
and recommends sports to any
girl who wants to keep her youth.

Tommie feels that, "If more
people would watch the game we
would have a much larger attend¬
ance than  Ihe normal  200  fans."
"Most people are surprised
and find it more exciting than
men's softball and want to come
back." she concluded.
