The Lady Aggies begin the sec ond round of conference play in fifth-place w'ith a 4-4 SWC record, 10-9 overall. A&M stands four games out of first-place behind 8-0 Texas, 7-1 Arkansas, 6-2 Texas Tech and 5-3 Houston. To have any chance of moving up in the standings, A&M must beat first-round victims Baylor, SMU, TCU and Rice again, and hope for some major upsets along the way. A&M Coach Lynn Hickey said Baylor, which lost to A&M, 92-70, on Jan. 2, will not be a pushover, es pecially in Waco. “Even though we beat them fairly easily last time, we’re going in ex pecting a tough contest,” Hickey said. “Baylor is one of those teams that can Be very cold or very hot. “We’re trying to get ready to at tack the second half (of the SWC schedule) with a lot of intensity.” In an effort to shake some life into her starting lineup, Flickey will use sophomore forward Evelyn Sanders in place of freshman center Nette Garrett. “We feel Evelyn has really played well since about the Texas game and she deserves a look,” Hickey said. “That will also give us a little bit more flexibility at the center position where we can give L. J. (Lisa Jordan) and Nette a rest.” Even though Hickey is somewhat disappointed with the Lady Ags’ 10- 9 record, she said her team has come a long way in just two months. “I feel that with an extra four to six points in three of our games, we could be in second-place (in the SWC),” said Hickey. “If we finish among the top five (in the conference), then we’ve done our job. If we finish in the top three — and there is still that possibility — we’ve done something special.” wOM 1909 1984 "Toward The 21st Century" Sigma Alpha Mu 1986 Spring Rush Schedule ^Saturday, Feb 1-Party at Treehouse Phase I Party Room at 9:00 pm Information Call: David Goldstein 846-2957 Jay Katz 696-4152 presents Friday & Saturday 4353 Welborn 846-1427 THE $3 cover Jan 31-Feb 1 9:00p.m. to ? vm ■ 3 brioles to volunteer for drug testing Associated Press ■ BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles, expressing concern over Baseball's tarnished image, an- lounced Thursday the formation of Ihe game’s first voluntary drug test- Big program. I Twenty-six of the 38 players on Baltimore’s spring training roster ■ave agreed to take part in the one- pear pilot program or Were already subject to similar arrangements trough contract clauses or minor track aik- eld. : compel 1 ' compel' es in ly night' °he ni« we 1 ve lon ? be , ujayjDiBee individual welfare of our play- )nias sa® 18 ’" ^ eters said, “and the magni- ble to rut J aartniMi ; teams It ague testing. I The remaining 12 have not yet Seen contacted. General Manager Bank Peters said he hoped for 100 ( 1k percent participation, but added in .H' no disciplinary action would be l l'iyiken against anyone w r ho refuses. “ “We’ve long been concerned with /elfare of our eis," Peters said, “and the tude of the drug problem in baseball has certainly damaged the image of our game.” Noting the many public disclo sures of drug abuse in baseball last year, Peters said the new program should “remove any clouds hanging over the club, or baseball.” Baseball has not had an industry wide program since the club owners withdrew from a limited testing plan last fall. Should agreement be reached on a new drug abuse pro gram, that would supersede the Bal timore plan. Individual players on other major strongly endorsed by pitcher Scott McGregor, Baltimore’s player rep resentative for the Major League Baseball Players Association. He asked each player individually if he wished to participate. This differed from the method used by football’s New England Pa triots when they met as a team last Monday, and became the first pro team to vote to accept a voluntary testing program. “We have to stand up and work together with ownership,” McGre gor said. “If we don’t do something, nothing is going to happen. There league teams have agreed to drug are players out there who need help, testing in exchange for a guaranteed ' T contract. Others have the option of voluntarily putting a drug testing clause in their contracts for image improving purposes. The Orioles testing program was It grieves my heart to see it go on any longer.” Should a player’s test prove posi tive, Peters said, treatment would be strictly between patient and doctor. While oul-patient treatment would go undetected, Peters said, should a player be missing from the team, “obviously there has to be an explanation.” Peters emphasized it was a hands- off program as far as the club was concerned, with the Orioles being involved only to pay for the testing. Names of the players and test re sults would .bfe disclosed only with the consent of the players, under pa tient-physician relationships. Attorney Ron Shapiro, who rep resents 16 of the Orioles -— all of whom are among the volunteers — and w^as a driving force in the test plan, described it as a “player’s pro gram.” “The program is not being imple mented as' the result of a known problem on the ballclub,” Shapiro said, “but it is rather an effort to stay ahead of any problem.” Halley’s Comet SALE • 10% OFF ALL 1985 BIKES • 10% OFF ALL CYCLING SHORTS & WINTER CLOTHING • UP TO 50% OFF ALL JERSYS • 1986 MIYATA & BIANCHI BIKES IN STOCK • WE REPAIR ALL BRANDS OF BIKES We Carry: ivliYATA 0IANCH!
