However, her carriage turned into a great Orange pumpkin before she could return home. The Texas A&M volleyball team and the TCU football team both began the season as decisive underdogs, but in the end they were both trying on the South west Conference slipper. The Aggies reached as high as No. 12 on the NCAA News poll. They defeated Texas Tech and Texas was upset by Houston. This led to a Nov. 14 showdown with the Horns for the championship. Likewise, the Horned Frogs were ranked No. 12. They de feated Texas Tech while Texas was upset by the Cougars. Once again, the championship game had been set. Cinderella against the Orange Force on Nov. 16. Nov. 14 came and the First of two important games was at hand. The Ags threw out the red cape and the bull charged. The Ags returned from the arena bruised, battered and out- scored. Cinderella hadn’t reached home before her curfew. Thus, fate had already deter mined the outcome of the Texas- TCU game. The Horned Frogs were destined to lose. The final -44-23. The Aggies finished the regu lar season 34-4 and 8-2 in confer ence. The Frogs, who are cur rently 8-2, will end their regular season against, ironically, Texas A&M. The Horned Frogs will proba bly receive a bid to play in the Bluebonnet Bowl. The Aggies are waiting to receive word on whether they will be invited to the post-season tournament. Satur day, both teams will know for sure. The similarities between the CHAREAN WILLIAMS Sports Writer two teams go back to last season. TCU had a terrible season, win ning only one game under first- year Head Coach Jim Wacker. The Ags had a mediocre sea son, winning one more game than they lost. After the season, the Ags brought in a new assistant coach, Mardi Alexander. Most of the Aggie players agree Alexander, teamed with Head Coach Terry Condon, has been a key to the Ags success. Everyone will agree Wacker has turned the Horned Frogs program around. 1985 looks promising for both teams, as most of the starters will be returning including All-Amer ican candidates Shern Brinkman and running back Kenneth Davis. 1984 was only the beginning. Cinderella may find the right slipper next season and ride away in the prince’s carriage instead of turning back into a toad. Guilty New York Jet’s Gastineau escapes to Rikers Island United Press International NEW YORK — New York Jets de fensive end Mark Gastineau escaped a jail term Tuesday and was instead sentenced to 90 hours of coaching football at Rikers Island for assault ing a patron last year at the swank Studio 54 disco. Gastineau, considered the best de fensive end in pro football this year, had faced up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for fracturing a man’s nose at the fast-lane Manhattan night club in the early morning hours of Sept. 30, 1983. Judge Alan Marrus, who presided at Gastineau’s trial, sentenced the football star to 90 hours of commu nity service — conducting a football clinic for prisoners between the ages of 16 and 21 awaiting trial at Rikers. Marrus said the sentence would provide community service for the benefit of young people who hold Gastineau in such high regard. “I am sending you to Rikers Is land — not as an inmate, but as a tea cher,” Marrus said. “The way you perform this community service will demonstrate how big a man you are,” Gastineau, whose wife, Lisa, and mother were with him in the full courtroom, said he was satisfied with the sentence. He maintained his in nocence to the end, however, and said the only thing he would have changed was his decision not to tes tify in his own defense. “I suffered a lot,” Gastineau told the court. “I did play very well dur ing the trial. And maybe I need a trial every week. I worked very hard to get a name that is respectable. And it has been somewhat de stroyed.” Marrus said that in deciding against a jail sentence, “I accept the fact that you are not a criminal in the true sense of the word. The only people who should be afraid of you are the players in the National Foot ball League.” In rejecting the fine, Marrus said, “For you, a $ 1,000 fine would be like taking a drop of water from the At lantic Ocean.” However, Peter Morrison, Gasti neau’s attorney, said his client had lost a number of personal endorse ments from commercial enterprises because of the trial. Gastineau, 27, was convicted Sept. 12 in Manhattan Criminal Court on assault charges. Teammate Ken O’Brien, 23, who was out with Gasti neau that night, was acquitted of as sault. Witnesses testified the brawl be gan after the 6-foot-5, 270-pound football player, known for his showmanship before crowds, lost an arm-wrestling contest with a bar tender. Disco patron John Benson, 22, of New York, and club owner Marc Fleischman were injured in the fight and Benson was treated at St. Clare’s Hospital for a fractured nose and cuts. Neither was admitted to the hospital. Benson filed the complaint against the football players. The free-for-all began about 2:20 a.m. after 175-pound bartender Scott Baird beat Gastineau in an arm-wrestling competition. Gastineau told Baird he wanted another try, according to Fleishman, but “the bartender realized the guy was really mad and didn’t want to do it. Then somebody bumped into Gastineau and he (Gastineau) smashed him in the face. The guy just sort of brushed against him.” A Cut Above...
