Women’s athletics
in turmoil at A&M
By DONN FRIEDMAN
Sports Editor
With the recent resignation
of women’s basketball coach
Cherri Rapp and the rumors
circulating about the fate of the
position of assistant athletic di
rector for women, one begins to
wonder about the fate of wom
en’s athletics at Texas A&M
University.
Where is the women’s pro
gram headed? Is it moving back
to the pre-Title IX age when
women in athletics meant
women in tight skirts cheering
on the sidelines of football
games? Or will the entire pro
gram reach forward to the level
of excellence that the softball
program has achieved here?
Assistant Athletic Director
John David Crow was asked
Thursday if the recent Title IX
Supreme Court decision — that
a school may discriminate in a
program that receives no fed
eral funds without losing fund
ing in other areas — had af
fected the direction of the
women’s program.
The former Heisman trophy
winner and A&M football star
laughed.
A link between the court rul
ing and the direction the wom
en’s athletic program was head
ing seemed somewhat absurd to
him. What Crow and Athletic
Director Jackie Sherrill both say
they want for all of Texas A&M
athletics is excellence.

■ Kyle Field
The University of Texas fielded its first base
ball team in 1895.
Since that time the Longhorns have won al
most 2,000 games — capturing the NCAA
championship four times and winning 56 of 68
Southwest Conference titles.
Without a doubt the dynasty the Longhorns
have built is one of the greatest in the history of
the game.
But as the SWC season gets rolling this week
end, the odds of Texas winning another crown
are not nearly as great as they have been in the
past.
Four other conference teams are packed with
talent this season and any of them are capable of
knocking the defending NCAA champions off of
their pedestal.
One of the strongest challenges for the crown
will surely come from the Rice Owls, who have
never won a conference title.
Rice is off to the best start in its history, 22-2
overall and 2-1 in conference. The Owls led the
SWC in hitting in 1983 with a .320 team batting
average and they led the nation with a .971 field
ing percentage.
The Owls lost three games to the Longhorns
by a one-run margin in Austin and get to face
Texas at home in Houston this season.
Arkansas also looks strong in 1984.
Like the Owls, the Razorbacks have never won
a conference title but have played strong almost
every season since they added baseball to their
SWC program in 1974.
Things are looking bright for the Arkansas
program, with the Hogs off to 20-4, 2-1, start this
season. Arkansas is batting .381 as a team this
season.
Closer to home, T exas A&M is off to one of its
best starts in the past few seasons.
Coach Tom Chandler enters his 25th year at
the Aggie helm with five returning starters and
six returning pitchers from a squad that went 4-
17 in conference last season.
The Aggies are 20-6 as they enter their SWC
opener with Texas Christian this afternoon.
TCU is another team that appears to be play
ing with a mission.
With a 3-0 conference record and a .341 team
batting average, the Horned Frogs appear to be
gunning for higher than last year’s seventh place
finish.
But the important factor is desire, and no team
has as much desire as Rice. That’s why the Owls
will fly away with the crown, leaving the Aggies
nipping close at their heels. Texas will fall back to
third followed by Arkansas, TCU, Houston,
Tech and Baylor in that order.
“We are in no way,” Crow
said, “going to de-emphasize
women’s sports at Texas A&M
University.”
Sherrill emphatically agreed:
“I’m committed to everything in
the A&M program. Like I told
the track coach, I want to see
them at the NCAA’s as partici
pants rather than spectators. I
want to see every team from
A&M make the NCAA’s.”
This may seem a bit hypocrit
ical coming from a man who has
been rarely seen at women’s
sporting events and who,
according to sources in the
women’s athletic program, has
never even met the outgoing
basketball coach. But Sherrill is

practicing
It’s spring, so that means it’s
time for football once again.
The Aggies had their first full-
scale scrimmage of the spring
season Thursday at Kyle Field.
The first team offense lead
by quarterback Kevin Murray
started off quick, with running
backs Roger Vick and Rod
Bernstein running over the sec
ond team for a touchdown in
seven plays.
Head Coach Jackie Sherrill
said he wanted to give the run
ning game a test.
“We weren’t going to throw
the ball until we scored run
ning,” Sherrill said.
Sherrill said he was im
pressed with the play of An
thony Toney who had 50- and
62-yard pass receptions.

IT. LOUIS — Houston Coach
ly Lewis says he has told 7-
foot center Akeem Olajuwon
t to let a recent fouling prob-
jn haunt him in tonight’s
NCAA Midwest regional semifi-
jls match with Memphis Slate.
|“I told him, ‘Don’t turn into a
^sive ballplayer by worrying
Joutthe officials,’” Lewis said.
Because if he turns into a pas-
e player, we’ve lost anyway.”

16.3 points and 13.7 rebounds,
he Cougars take on Mem-
is State in the first round of
NCAA midwest Regional
ight. DePaul plays Wake
rest in the second game,
emphis State’s answer to
Olajuwon is 6-foot-10 forward
Keith Lee. Coach Dana Kirk
says the injuries that have hit
the Tigers’ three seniors have
brought out Lee’s leadership
abilities.
“He’s actually talking more
than he did before,” Kirk said
of his soft-spoken star.
Injuries have waylaid for
ward Bobby Parks and senior
Derrick Phillips. Guard Phillip
Haynes, who sprained an ankle
Saturday, is “60 to 65 percent
right now,” Kirk said.
“I asked him if we played
right now could he play,” Kirk
said. “Doom Haynes is an awful
worked-up player and he said
he didn’t think so.”
Kirk said recent criticism
about Lee — who has been
tagged as a hot-and-cold player
— is the result of the junior’s
reputation as a prolific scorer
and leaping rebounder. Lee
leads the team with an average
of 18.5 points and 10.8 re
bounds a game.
“Now every place he goes
there’s a crowd,” Kirk said. “It’s
like the gunfighter image.
When you walk on the street,
people try to get you.”
Kirk said Memphis State
can’t afford to concentrate too
much on Olajuwon, although
he said there is no one “better in
the country.”
Lewis had similar ideas about
Houston and Lee.
“I don’t think we will check
Keith Lee,” he said. “I think
they’re too balanced just to con
centrate on Keith Lee. We’d
probably play a zone against
him.”
Lewis said Houston has an
“excellent” chance of losing if
Lee scores more than 20 points.
