Call after 5. 775-0534. 18t9/29 because I’m having a hard time buy ing that. I’m having a hard time buy ing that two-thirds of the picketing players evencare about free agency. Most of the players are on strike because their teammates are on strike — and team unity must pre vail. The players’ union is one big peer pressure group. Those who oppose it are jeered, harassed and attacked. For example, the striking Hous ton Oilers pelted a bus carrying free agents with rocks and eggs. How ma ture can you get? In Kansas City, linebacker Dino Hackett and tight end Paul Coffman brandished shotguns at non-union players who crossed the picket line. In Dallas, Tony Dorsett referred to Randy White as “Captain Scab.” Never mind that White is a 13-year veteran who has been a team leader for the Cowboys over the years, and never mind that White is a six-time All-Pro. If he doesn’t cross the picket line, he’s nothing more than a scab. It seems to me that a player like Randy White should be respected for whatever decision he makes about the strike. No, the players’ union is treating anyone who doesn’t agree with its views as the enemy. If you cross the union, you’re courting death. Just ask the guy disguised as a gorilla who taunted the Oilers with a sign decrying the players’ average salary of $230,000. A couple of players de cided to give him chase. Receiver Ernest Givins said the man was acting “childish.” I guess throwing rocks and eggs is the epit ome of sophistication, then, on, guys. The last time I egge I was in the third grade. And son people sf///think I’m immature. I hate to tell you guys this, t you can prance around in a parkit, lot carrying signs, so can a man I guised as a gorilla. It’s called “frtt dom of expression,” and some pet pie think it’s pretty important. By the same token, the free agent who are trying out for all the vacaiet positions have a right to do that, For some of these players, a strik provides the only way they can their dreams. For other free agents a strike provides a way to pay tin rent, at least temporarily. Forme A&M football player Domingo Bn ant, who is trying to join the Oilen free agent team, says, “I’mjustdoin( this to survive.” So are a lotofotli It’s quite an ugly situation whet mature adults start acting like ba hies. The players need to realct there’s no way the fans are going to agree with them if they keep trask ing buses and vans. The players also need to realize that they are rolf models whether they like it or not, Yeah, kids really can lookupto someone who wielas a shotgun mea acingly at people who just want play football.

In case you’ve been in cryogenic freezing the past few months, let me break the news .gently.> there ain’t gonna be no pro football this week. Tact is, it looks tike it might be that way for a while. Better not miss any Oklahoma football games the next few months; they’ll be about the only pro team active. I have been more concerned, be lieve me. With the majority per suasion of the Supreme Court ready to shift, acts of war in the Persian Gulf, and a cast of nobodies vying for the job of Head Enchilada of the US of A, I have weightier matters on my mind. Besides, the Cowboys and Oilers wouldn’t have been any good this year anyway. To put the “crisis” in a nutshell, the players’ union is demanding pure free agency; the owners won’t giv^it to them. Admittedly, it is difficult to sym pathize with a few hundred guys making an average of $230,000 apiece for one year’s work (closer to r ♦ ♦ 4 ★AGGIE* VETERANS - Plan for your Future - 5 acres only 8 miles from A&M Beautiful Restricted Homcsite $ 153/month at 8 3/4% Men’s tennis squad j start year with meet 30 Years SI320 Down CALL NOW TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY 4 823-7789 822-0826 a SCHULMAN THEATRES 2.50 ADMISSION 1.

Teams competing in the tourna ment include the host Aggies, Texas, Texas Tech and McNeese State. Texas finished last season ranked No. 10 in the nation. McNeese State won the Southland Conference crown last year. The top returning player for A&M is senior Dean Johnson. John son won three of the four tourna ments he entered this summer, and A&M Coach David Kent said the newly-elected captain of the squad shows good leadership potential. Newcomers to the team include Mike Chambers, a transfer student from Houston; Kenny Rylee, who transferred from Kentucky; and six months, really) for doing k sically what thousands of peopled: for free. But the fact remains is the players’ right to get what die are after, and it is their right ton sort to striking to get it. With the current system, when player’s contract with his team rati out, he is not allowed to play fora other club that wants his service without it compensating the played original team in some way. The compensation makes a fret agent less attractive to teams, driviti down their market worth. Our ecu nomic society has been based years on people working for then lue of their services. Whatever market will bear. I f that happens to be a few millffi to A1 Davis or some other ownernoi afraid to dig into his pockets, will shouldn’t the guy get it all?

Murphy also had a two-run homer and an RBI double in the game as he reached the 100-RB1 mark for the fifth time in six sea sons. After the Braves tied the score with four runs in the eighth, Al bert Hall was hit by a pitch from Jeff Heathcock, 3-2, with one out in the bottom of the ninth. A sin gle by Dion James one out later sent Hall to third. Murphy followed with a grounder to left side that short stop Craig Reynolds gloved deep in the hole on a diving stop.

The Twins cut their magic num ber for clinching the division to five over Oakland, which played Chicago later Thursday night. Viola, 17-9, and Juan Berenguer combined on a three-hitter. Viola did not allow a hit until Steve Bue- chele led off the sixth inning with a single. He struck out 10, walked three and lowered his earned run average to 2.88, second-best in the league. Viola has won nine straight deci sions at the Metrodome. The Twins have won seven in a row at home and improved their record there to 55-23, best home mark in the ma- jors. Charlie Hough, 17-12, allowed six hits, hit three batters and walked three. He struck out seven in his 12th complete game. Jim Acker, 4-6, pitched the ninth inning for the victory. Trailing 7-3 in the eighth, Hall hit his third homer, Murphy doubled in a run for his 100th RBI, Ozzie Virgil singled in Mur phy, and Ken Oberkfell tied the score with a single against Hous ton reliever Dave Smith. Smith had relieved Larry Andersen af ter Murphy’s hit. Nolan Ryan pitched six innings for the Astros, allowing five hits, striking out five and walking seven. In 197 2-3 innings, Ryan has 251 strikeouts, tops in the ma jor leagues.
