A&M to play
No. 5 Texas
in volleyball
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
Once again, it’s Texas A&M
against the University of Texas in
the Southwest Conference volleyball
finale when the two teams square off
tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Gregory Gym
in Austin.
But they’re not playing for the
SWC championship — that’s already
been decided. Texas is the SWC
champion and A&M is runner-up
for the fifth year in a row.
About the only thing that could
possibly be decided tonight is
whether the 23-12 Aggies will re
ceive an NCAA tournament bid. But
A&M Coach A1 Givens said he’s not
concerned about that.
“I don’t believe if we win or lose
it’s going to make a difference,”
Givens said. “I think we’ll be judged
on our own merits.”
Although Texas is 9-0 in the SWC
and 23-4 overall, the Baylor Bears
surprised the Longhorns Tuesday
night in Waco, going four games
with Texas before losing.
“I really believe the pressure’s on
Texas,” Givens said. “They’re the
ones ranked fifth in the nation.
Maybe we’ll catch them looking past
us.
“But we’ll have to duplicate our
effort from the first time we met and
then add some.”
Things took a turn for the worse
for A&M after the first Texas match.
A&M had a 16-4 record going into
the contest, but has gone 7-7 since
then, including a five-game loss to
Rice in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
“We’ll just try to regroup and do
the things that made us successful
for the first half of the season,”
Givens said.
If A&M doesn’t get an NCAA bid,
then tonight will be the last match
for seniors Stacey Gildner, Laura
Hoppe, Stacey Smith, Margaret
Spence and Chris Zogata.
“These are five seniors who have
never beaten Texas,” Givens said.
“So it’s certainly an incentive to play
their best.”
Givens said he was somewhat dis
turbed that so much emphasis al
ways is placed on the A&M-Texas
match.
“It seems to me that (for Aggies)
the whole season is based on
whether you win or lose against Tex
as,” he said. “We play a lot of other
matches throughout the season, so
that shouldn’t govern whether or
not you’ve had a successful season.”

Olajuwon signs significan|
new contract with Rockets^
NEW YORK (AP) — The contract
signed by Akeem Olajuwon of the
Houston Rockets could be more sig
nificant for its length, 12 years, than
for its reported $2.5 million a year
average, in the view of Larry
Fleisher, executive director of the
NBA Players Association.
“There are some players who are
making close to that, some more and
some less,” said Fleisher, who is also
a players agent. “If this signifies any
trend at all, and I’m not sure it does,
I don’t think it would be money. I
think it would be long-term con
tracts, which seem to be becoming
more common now.”
Fleisher said he saw both good
and bad in the long-term arrange
ments.
“The club owners may feel they
are locking in the future with this
type of contract, making it so they
know what their financial obligations
will be long-term,” he said in an in
terview Tuesday.
“It does give the player security
for himself and his family, but the
important thing is that the player
who signs a long-term contract must
understand what he is signing. You
look at salaries over the past 10
years, some players (signing long
term contracts) may be shortchang
ing themselves.
Akeem Olajuwon
“But I think the thing that is most
dangerous about (long-term con
tracts) is that four or five years down
the road the player may look around
and decide he has to renegotiate the
contract,” Fleisher added.
Olajuwon, Houston’s 7-foot cen
ter and half of their Twin Towers,
signed a contract extension that will
keep him in a Rockets’ uniform until
the 1997-1998 NBA season.
The 12-year agreement includes a
renegotiation of the remaining four
years of Olajuwon’s previous con-
ii;ict. According to publiskp 1 ^ 1
