It’s going to be awful hot,” said
an in his first weekly news con-
jence of the season. “Condition-
1, depth and being use to this
ie of weather will be a definite
tor in the game. ”
Sloan said since the Raiders
gan their series against the Bears
the rivalry has always made

[‘There is a big rivalry between
lixas Tech and Baylor coaches and
iyers an the game will be played
th a little bit more emotion,”
lan said. “Some people are going
play harder and a lot of extra ef-
t will be exerted, ” he said.

Sloan also noted playing the first
game away from home requires
some extra preparations.
“The Baylor-Texas Tech series
has been a home series giving ad
vantages to the home team,” he
said. “It would stabalize the team a
great deal if they could play their
first game at home. Players react a
little better to familiar surroundings
if you can open at home.”
Playing at Baylor, Tech has won
only twice in 14 tries while the
Bears have beaten the Raiders eight
times out of 20 attempts at Lub
bock.

WACO — Head coach Grant
Teaff said yesterday he has not de
cided who will be the Baylor Bears
starting quarterback during the sea
son opener against Texas Tech
Saturday.
Sophomore Sammy Bickham was
named to the starting position last
week, but was sidelined with a
shoulder injury and has not prac
ticed for 10 days. Bickham s backup,
Greg Wood, suffered a severe ankle
injury and will be out for several
weeks.
“I honestly do not know what
Sammy’s situation will be,” said
Teaff in his weekly news confer
ence, “but at this time we will start
Scott Smith. I’m hopeful that
Sammy can come along and play in
the ball game, and we re going to
try a shoulder petd that we re hoping
will give Sammy some protection.”
Teaff said he regretted playing
Bickham before he recovered fully,
but since the game was a Southwest
Conference contest, he had little
choice.
“If this were anything other than
a Southwest Conference football
game,” he said, “I would not even
consider suiting Sammy up, much
less consider playing him.
Teaff said trainer Skip Cox de
signed a shoulder pad that may
allow Bickham to play, but unless
the Plano, Tex., native can work out
Monday or Tuesday it will be dif
ficult for him to play.
Tech, which travels to Waco for
the first time in three years, edged
the Bears 24-21 in the season’s
finale last year.
