Todd Holloway was the
first to admit he was a little
disappointed, and he pulled a
reporter aside to ask a small
favor. The Texas Aggies had
just defeated Prairie View
A&M Tuesday night before a
measly crowd of 2,397, and
Holloway was wondering
where everybody was.
Is there any way, the fresh
man asked in a whisper, you
could put something in the
paper asking people to come
to our games?
Simple enough. All Hollo
way wants for Christmas is a
few warm bodies in the stands.
After all, it’s tough to get Fired

said, “and we’ll play a lot

In Holloway’s case, it may

to NC-Wilmington’s head

Trouble
LSU football coach Jerry Stovall
on the hot seat after 4-7 season
United Press International
BATON ROUGE, La. — Stu
dents protested on campus and
sports commentators cringed,
but the Louisiana State Univer
sity Board of Supervisors
seemed poised Thursday to fire
fourth-year head football coach
Jerry Stovall.
Twelve months ago, Stovall
could do no wrong. He was pre
paring his 8-3-1 team for a trip
to the Orange Bowl where the
Tigers posted a respectable 21-
20 loss to Nebraska.
Early season ratings in 1983
picked LSU in the Top 10 and its
rushing offense was expected to
be among the best in the nation.
But Stovall’s team Finished
the demoralizing season 4-7 and
— for the first time in its history
— LSU failed to win a Southeast
Conference game.
Rumors the board would try
to buy out the remaining year of
Stovall’s contract began surfac
ing towards the end of the
season.
Two weeks ago, the board re
fused to give the embattled
coach a vote of confidence and
asked Chancellor James Whar
ton and Athletic Director Bob
Brodhead to make their recom
mendations at a meeting sche
duled for early this morning.
Students and fans fought the
firing rumors with a rally in
front of the athletic department
ofFice Thursday afternoon and
a Stovall pep rally in the stadium
later in the evening.
Brodhead has declined to dis
cuss what he will recommend to
the board Friday, but he has
admitted talking to Bill
Arnsparger, assistant head
coach for the Miami Dolphins.
LSU sources indicate a coach
from the pro ranks with no
Louisiana background may have
trouble being hired by the board
unless he came in a package deal
with an assistant to whom the
state’s high school coaches,
alumni and fans could identify.
To meet that criteria, the
name of Clemson offensive
coordinator Nelson Stokely has
surfaced.
Stokely, who coached fresh
men and the offensive backField
at LSU from 1968 to 1973,
earned three letters as Tiger
quarterback from 1965-1967.
He was offensive coordinator at
Virginia Tech before joining
Clemson in 1980 as quarterback
coach and chief recruiter.
Men’s swim team sweeps
three straight dual meets
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The
Texas A&M men’s swim team

East Thursday, defeating Penn
State, West Virginia and North
Carolina in seperate dual meets

The men snuck past Penn
State 59-54, defeated West Vir
ginia 70-43 and beat defending
Atlantic Coast Conference
champion North Carolina 65-
48.
The 400-yard freestyle relay
team, made up of Schmauch,
Susan Marks, Goeking and Tan
ner, became this year’s first
Texas A&M qualifier for the
NCAA championships by swim
ming the cut-off time of 3:30.42.
Both the men and the women
will swim in the Penn State Re
lays today and Saturday. Nine
teams are entered in the
women’s meet, 10 in the men’s.
The Aggie women split their
double dual meet, defeating
West Virginia 90-50 and losing
to Penn State 50-89.
Aggie swimmer Kevin Lon-
drigan set a school record in the
200-yard backstroke with a time
of 1:53.78, breaking the old re
cord of 1:54 .32, set in 1978. The
men also swam to nine season

UTSA 72, RICE 56
HOUSTON — Derrick Gervin
tossed in a game-high 21 points
Thursday night to lead UT-San
Antonio to a 72-56 win over the
Rice Owls.
Gervin also pulled down 14
rebounds as the Roadrunners,
now 1-1, eased to a 31-26 half
time lead and were never
headed.
The loss dropped Rice to 1-2.

points and teammates Quentin
Anderson and David Reynolds

respectively to spark Texas
Tech to a 64-53 win over the
University of San Diego
Thursday.

4-0 on a pair of layups by
Anthony Reuss, but responded

nutes gone in the opening half.

time lead. The Raiders went up
by as many as 16 points in the
second half and never were
threatened.
Mike Whitmarsh led the

points.

the West Virginia team, but only
five from Penn State.

season best times and broke two
school records. The 200-yard
medley relay, comprised of Jody
Tanner, Vicki Moir, Melanie
Schmauch and Sandra Goeking,
swam a 1:49.28, breaking the
old record of 149.82. Schmauch
also set a school record in an in
dividual event, swimming the
100-yard butterfly in 58.05, .15
seconds faster that the previous
school record.
