The Aggies will go into the game with pre season poll rankings rang ing from fourth to thir teenth by some publica tions. But Slocum said he is try ing to keep the team from reading too much into preseason national rankings. "The final poll is the one we're concerned about," Slocum said. "There is no reason for us to talk Slocum about it until then. From now un til the Texas game, we don't need to pay any attention to the polls." Rankings aside, the physical part of the game is one of Slocum's main concerns. He said that the players have been working extremely hard and that they are prone to two kinds of exhausation. "You've got to be prepared both mentally and physically every single week," Slocum said. "We've worked hard all spring and during two-a-days. We just need to go out there and play." To combat any fatigue that the players may have felt after two weeks of practice, Slocum gave the team a break this past weekend and instructed them to get some rest before the game. "I just told them to go see their girlfriend or go home and get some of mom's good cooking or whatever they wanted," Slocum said. "I just told them to get away from the game for a few days and be as far away from it as possible. I told them to get away from the coaches, the field, everything. "I also told them that on Mon day when they returned, we were going to turn it up a notch and that it was game week, time to get serious again." On a team that has a large ma jority of seniors, Slocum said the goal of this year's team is to bring home a national championship. But at the same time, they can not look too far down the road, Slocum said. "All of us expect to go to a bowl game," Slocum said. "A bowl game and a champi onship is our ultimate goal, but we're going to do it with cautious optimism." Slocum said that while there is some pressure in being a top 10 team, he is confident the team can again finish among the elite of col legiate football this season. "Being highly ranked definitely puts us on the hot seat," Slocum said. "Most teams have a goal to finish 7-4 and go to a bowl game and to them, that's a great season. If we did that, it would be seen as a big disappointment. The coaches and the players are both glad, it is what we all live for. This is what we do all our work for and everything else is secondary." Slocum said he forsees good things for the Aggies, but more importantly to the fans, he ad mitted knowing what it is they all want. "I want to be at a place where they don't like to lose."

Rogers (14-7) allowed six hits in his third complete game and tied Ferguson Jenkins' team record, set in August 1974, of six wins in a month. He is 10-2 since June 17 and is the American League's winningest left-hander since July 6 with nine victories. Roger Clemens (10-11) lost his first start since breaking a four-game losing streak with a combined shutout Friday night. He allowed six runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. Atlanta 8, San Francisco 2 ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves may have the momentum in the NL West race, but the San Francisco Giants still have the lead. David Justice put the race in perspective Tuesday night after the Atlanta Braves closed to within 31/2 games of the front-running Gi ants with an 8- Houston 10, New York 2 NEW YORK - Pete Harnisch allowed three hits in seven innings, and Houston pounded three Mets pitchers for a season-high 18 hits Tuesday night as the Astros snapped a five-game losing streak with a 10-2 victory over New York. Harnisch (12-8) struck out six and walked three in matching his single-season victory mark set in 1991. Steve Finley had three RBIs, and Craig Big- gio and Jeff Bagwell each added two. Bagwell had three singles and a double in five at-bats. Dwight Gooden (12-15) left the game after four innings with inflammation in his right shoulder. He allowed four runs on eight hits 2 victory. "They're the ones being chased," Jus tice said after driving in four runs to back/ the six-hit pitching of Greg Maddux. "They're not going to fold," Justice said. "I think it's going to the wire." Maddux agreed. "We still got some ground to make up," he said. Maddux (16-9) won his fourth decision in a row and pitched his seventh complete game of the season. He fanned three and walked one. It was the third victory in a row and the 17th in 20 games for the Braves, looking for a third consecutive division crown. The closest; the Braves have been to first since the opening weeks was three games on May 28. Atlanta has now won four straight against; the Giants, Tuesday's victory coming after the Braves' three-game sweep in San Francisco last week. After Barry Bonds gave the Giants a 1-0 lead with his 39th homer to start the fourth, the Braves took control in the bottom of the in- Ullty O ning with a five-run rally off Bill Swift (17-7).
