The Oilers spokesman late Wednesday said defensive backs Vernon Perry and Greg Stemrick failed to show up before the 6 p.m. deadline set for the arrival of team veterans at Angelo State University but both called officials to say they would arrive late. Late Wednesday night. Perry was driving to San Angelo from Jackson, Miss., while Stemrick was flying to camp from his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, the spokesman said. The spokesman said'officials were not suprised that Gray failed to show up because he has not renewed his contract with the team. He remains the only unsigned veteran. ' Oilers General Manager Ladd Herzeg said he last heard from Gray Sunday. “He was supposed to call me back Sunday night, but he didn’t. I haven’t heard anything,” Herzeg said. He said Gray had not told anyone he would show up. The 30-year-old old pro is known to be asking for a salary increase of more than 100 percent. The Oilers have offered him two contracts, one a one-year deal and the other for several sea sons. “Our offers are on the table,” Herzeg said. “We think we’ve made a fair proposal. But we can’t officially do any negotiating so we’re waiting to see if they’ll accept one of our offers.” Niekro, Astros stifle last-place Cincinnati Showtime ... 8:45 S § iH Gate Opens ... 8:00 M Hi Students w/TAMU ID . . $ .75 N k Non-Students . $1.50 ■ 5 Wvwve Children 7-12 . $1.00 w i -MSC SUMMER FILM SERIES- Children 6 & under .. Free j July 29 — August 4 Thursday 2001: A Space Odyssey ■r United Press International HOUSTON —- Houston man ager Bill Virdon, who earlier this year blamed a slump by his Astros on poor pitching, now is singing the praises of his starting rotation. The Astros, behind the com plete-game pitching of Joe Niek ro, beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 Wednesday. The win came a day after Nolan Ryan won his 200th career game with a 13-strikeout, 3-2 win over the Reds. “When you get good-pitched games you’ve got a much better chance to win,” Virdon said. Art Howe’s two-out, two-run double in the sixth gave the Astros a 3-2 lead. Houston added an insurance run in the seventh on an RBI single by Jose Cruz, who collected three hits in the game. “We’re happy to get two in a row,” Niekro said. “I was glad to get the two-run lead. In this ball park it’s so much more secure than one.” The win pushed Niekro’s re cord to 10-7. The effort was his eighth complete game in his last 12 starts. “I had a pretty good knuckler. but it was hard to spot it,” Niekro said. “I went more with the fast ball and slider once I got the lead.” The Reds scored a run in the first when Eddie Milner reached on a bunt single, moved to second on a single by Cesar Cedeno and scored on a single by Johnny Bench. Houston tied it 1-1 in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by Cruz and Danny Heep. Cincinnati scored in the fifth United Pre ARSHAL mkee, Wis., shooting apping h elf in th g arrestei fednesday.

United Press International OAKVILLE, Ontario — The last time Jack Nicklaus played the Glen Abbey golf course, site of the Canadian Open, his ver bal criticism stung his hosts as much as his driver and putter stung his PGA rivals. The 7,060-yard, par-71 course was hit by a fungus infec- the Extra- Terrestrial A UNIVERSAL PICTURE He is afraid, is totally alone. tion that had partially destroyed some of the greens last year. Nicklaus, who designed Glen Abbey and takes pride in its con dition, then came along and finished the job. “The course stinks,” he said. In the tournament itself, Nicklaus made a dramatic charge that fell one shot shy of Peter Oosterhuis and finished in second place. He enters this year’s event still seeking the only major national championship that has eluded him. Entertainment The Movie of ‘Tomorrow’ ALBERT FINNEY CAROL BURNETT Annie A COLUMBIA .

"By mid-September it will be per fect. But considering the gras kill from the winter and tht spring it’s in fine shape.” While the organizers worried about what Nicklaus might say about their course, they also were trying to keep count of the growing number of big-name players withdrawing. Tournament director Jim Decks said the draw was still above average compared to most of the PGA stops. But the 73-year-old Canadian Open is not used to being just above av erage. “We still have a very good field, but we may have beenabit used to having the very best,” he said. r Fri. & Sat., July 30 & 31 $2.00 Cover Even diets, enjoy follow be del of low foods Dininj Moi 12:40-3:00-5:20-7:40-10:00 ; IMP'S- TV ■■ IT KNOWS WHAT SCARES YOU. iPol No Name Jazz Sextet — Thursday August 5 Backstage The Best Pizza In Town!
