A&M still
waiting on
word from
top bock
From Staff and Wire Reports
Cotton Bowl champion Texas
A&M, with a blue chip quarterback
and receiver already committed, will
try to add Hempstead running back
Harvey Williams to its list of signees
Wednesday, the first day colleges
can sign players to national letters of
intent.
Colleges that have obtained verbal
commitments in recent months now
must retrace their steps and get each
athlete to sign a binding scholarship
agreement.
Williams, who surpassed former
Texas schoolboy Eric Dickerson in
Class 3A career rushing, narrowed
his choices to the Aggies and Loui
siana State on Monday and said he’d
make the final decision Wednesday.
Signing Williams would give the
Aggies at least four of the 15 players
on The Dallas Times Herald Blue
Chip list, determined from voting by
Southwest Conference head
coaches.
The Aggies already had obtained
verbal commitments from Tomball
quarterback Lance Pavlas; Colum
bus receiver Percy Waddle, who es
tablished four state records and one
Class 3A record in his high school
career; and Spring Woods center
Mike Authur.
Several other members of the
Times Herald list were still consid
ering A&M.
Hempstead Coach Robert Kinney
thought the lengthy ordeal was
going to end Monday at a news con
ference after long discussions with
Williams. Williams said the past two
months had been the toughest of his
life and has agonized over his final
decision.
“It’s hard to say no to a coach who
recruited you for a whole year,” Wil
liams said. “You’ve grown attached
to them.”
Williams gained 5,883 career
yards at Hempstead, and moved into
sixth place among all-time Class 3A
rushers. Dickerson, a former Sealy
all-stater now with the Los Angeles
Rams, is seventh with 5,877 career
yards.
Pavlas, 6-2, 190, passed for 1,636
yards last season in leading Tomball
to two state Class 4A championship
runnerup finishes. He completed 46
touchdown passes and 3,410 yards
in two seasons as Tomball posted a
28-2 record.
Pavlas, a native of Bryan, said he
chose the Aggies because of Coach
Jackie Sherrill’s sincerity, the
school’s academic programs and the
Aggie offense. He also sees the pres
ence of quarterback Kevin Murray
as a positive.
“I only feel that situation can help
me to improve my skills,” Pavlas
said.
Murray has two years remaining
at A&M.
There’s an additional plus for
A&M, Pavlas and Williams became
friends after meeting at an All-
America function last year. It has
been speculated that Williams was
waiting for Pavlas, who was also con
sidering LSU, to make his decision,
“He’s a good friend,” Pavlas said,
“and I hope he becomes an Aggie.”
Waddle set state records for 3,224
career yards and 56 career touch
down catches and single season re
cords of 1,471 yards and 26 touch
downs. His 158 career catches is a
Class 3A record.
Meanwhile around the rest of the
state, linebacker Melvin Foster of
Class 5A state champion Houston
Yates — the top vote-getter in the
Times Herald poll — was consid
ering Oklahoma State, Oklahoma,
Iowa and Texas going into the sign
ing date.

in Willowridge tight end Charles Ar-
buckle and Lubbock Dunbar line
backer Brian Jones.

Wolfpack joins three
ACC teams in Top 20
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Caro
lina State has finally joined three
other Atlantic Coast Conference
teams in the Top 20 but it’s not the
ranking that gratifies Coach Jim Val-
vano, it’s the way his team has been
playing.
The Wolfpack, now 17-6, is
ranked 17th in the latest poll after,a
shaky start. They made it back after
nationally televised non-conference
wins against Kentucky and Louis
ville, the latter a 76-64 decision Sat
urday.
N.C. State, which must still face
the top ACC teams and eighth-
ranked Oklahoma, didn’t expect
much after a loss to Florida State
which left the team at 3-3.
“The kids have rallied from a low
point in the season at Tallahassee to
get where we are,” Vavlano said.
“That means we have gone 14-3
since being 3-3 and to beat the teams
we have along the way, I couldn’t be
happier.”
North Carolina remained the
unanimous No. 1 team in The Asso
ciated Press basketball poll with
Duke No. 2. For neighboring North
Carolina State, it was the first entry
in the Top Twenty since the second
week of the season.
The Tar Heels have been first in
every poll since the season began.
“I told the kids at the beginning of
the season that being in the Top 20
doesn’t mean anything then,” Val-
vano said of the preseason poll,
which placed N.C. State 17th. “But
at the end of the season to be playing
Top 20 basketball has got to make
you feel good.
“I think we have an outstanding
basketball team at this point. But it is
the quality of the opposition that we
face that most concerns me.”
All 63 sports writers and broad
casters voting in this week’s poll
tabbed 24-1 North Carolina as the
top team. The Tar Heels collected
1,260 points in the balloting to 1,186
for runner-up Duke. The Blue Dev
ils, 22-2, 'are second for the second
time this season, moving up two
spots this week.
There was considerable
movement throughout the Top
Twenty, thanks to a slew of upsets
last weekend.
Kansas, 22-3, moved from sixth to
third, while 22-3 Memphis State
dropped one spot to fourth and
Georgia Tech, the other ACC entry,
fell from second to fifth. Memphis
St. lost to Nevada-Las Vegas on Sat
urday, while Tech was beaten by
Duke.
UNLV, 23-2, used its one-point
win over Memphis State to surge
from ninth to sixth. St. John’s is sev
enth, up three spots, followed by
Oklahoma, which dropped three
places, No. 9 Georgetown and 10th-
ranked Michigan.
Georgetown, which lost 60-58 to
St. John’s Monday night, improved
two spots in the poll, while Michigan
went from seventh to 10th.
The Second Ten also has Ken
tucky, Syracuse, Bradley, Notre
Dame, Texas-El Paso, Indiana, Ala
bama, Louisville and Virginia Tech.
Western Kentucky was the only
team to fall out of the rankings.
