AUSTIN (AP) — A quar-
irback with a weak-arm reputa
tion and a receiver with a ten
dency to drop passes teamed up
for a scoring strike as time ex-
nred in Texas’ 16-14 victory over
jkansas, the pre-season favorite
Southwest Conference foot-
Jall.
■ For their performance in rais
ing Texas’ conference record to
p-O, senior quarterback Bret
Stafford and sophomore wide re-
'tieiver Tony Jones shared recog
nition as The Associated Press’
SWC offensive player of the
week.
K Houston cornerback Johnny
Jackson was selected as the SWC
defensive player of the week after
intercepting two passes and
breaking up five in Houston’s 37-
35 loss to Wyoming. The 6-foot-
1, 193-pound sophomore now
has lour interceptions for the sea
son and has knocked down 12
pbsses.
■ Stafford and Jones won the
Weekly honor over teammate Eric
Metcalf, a junior tailback who ran
for 76 yards, caught a school-re-
[cord 11 passes for 90 yards and
later got Heisman mention from
NlcWilliams.
■Stafford was intercepted seven
tiines in Texas’ 44-9 loss to Okla
homa and had another picked off
■ Arkansas, but he finished with
j completions in 34 attempts for
182 yards and the touchdown to
Jones — only the second scoring
pass Stafford has thrown in the
Longhorns’ 3-3 season.
McWilliams said he felt as if
Stafford “did a great job with his
reads. They were dropping those
linebackers so deep, and dou
bling the outside receivers, giving
Metcalf a 4 - or 5-yard cushion.
“I thought Bret did a great job
moving us down the field.”
Jones, only 5-7 and 145, signed
a football scholarship with Texas
after the 1985 season but opted to
play basketball for Angelina Ju
nior College. He transferred to
Texas in time for the 1986 sea
son.
McWilliams says Jones is a
great deep threat, but he
dropped two passes against Okla
homa, with one being inter
cepted, and he dropped another
against Arkansas.
“He’s dropped some, but he’s
played very well most of the
year,” McWilliams said. “He
dropped one on the sidelines the
other day (against Arkansas) but
he came right back in the fourth
quarter and made a great catch
on the sidelines.
“He’s been consistent in going
down field and trying to block —
he’s not big enough to block ev
erybody — but I think his concen
tration has been good. And he’s
really worked hard in practice.
“And, of course, the catch the
other day was just an amazing
catch, right over the linebacker
and in between three defenders.
He knew he was going to get hit
because the guy was breaking on
the ball. He got the ball, cradled it
and protected it.”
Lady Aggies lose fifth straight match
By Anthony Wilson
Sports Writer
The Texas A&M volleyball team
lost its fifth consecutive match Tues
day night, losing to Notre Dame
University 15-11, 16-18, 15-2, 15-10
in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The loss dropped the Lady Ag
gies’ record to 9-17, while Notre
Dame improved to 18-5.
The highlight of the evening for
the Lady Aggies was a great
comeback in the second game.
At one point during the game, the
Lighting Irish led 11-2. A&M man
aged to narrow the margin to eight
points when sophomore outside at
tacker Megan Purtell checked into
the lineup to serve.
Purtell responded with five serv
ice aces and A&M scored six straight
points to pull within two points of
Notre Dame, 13-11.
A&M then managed to tie the
score at 14, move ahead 15-14, and
finally win 18-16.
“I was told to get the first serve
in,” Purtell said about her serving in
the second game. “Then I got into
rhythm and started looking for one
person who was not passing well.”
The Lighting Irish came back with
a vengeance in the third game and
once again jumped out to a quick 11-
2 lead.
This time though they were tak
ing no prisoners and finished off
A&M 15-2.
A&M’s offense was led by junior
outside attacker Vivian Viera, who
had 24 kills in 51 attempts fora .353
average. Cheri Steensma added 17
kills in 50 attempts for a .340 aver
age and Yvonne Van Brandt had 55
assists in 161 attempts for a .342 av
erage.
The defense was led by
Steensma’s 27 digs and Kelli Kellen’s
five blocks.
A&M’s next match will be October
25 in Lubbock against Texas Tech.
“We have to come out with the at
titude that they have to beat us,”
Viera said. “We have to come out in
the beginning and play strong.”
Sherrill: Ags not guaranteed victory over Rice
By Tammy Hedgpeth
Sports Writer
Indeed, the true Aggies are back.
The race for the Southwest Confer
ence title continues with Texas A&M
battling Rice Saturday in Houston.
Rice cannot be taken lightly be
cause it can move the ball and put
points on the board, A&M Head
Coach Jackie Sherrill said at a press
conference Tuesday in Cain Hall.
“Rice has either led or been sec
ond in the lead all year in total offen
se,” Sherrill said. “They had almost
400 yards against LSU. They have
been able to move the football.
They’ve played some very good
teams.
“Every time we’ve played them
they’ve made things happen. Little
things can make you win or lose.
The problem we have is that we
don’t nave all seniors. We don’t have
players that have been there every
day. We have young players and
sometimes that’s a plus and (some
times) it’s not.”
The next two weeks will not be
rest weeks for the Aggies. Sherrill
said they will prepare for Rice and
Louisiana Tech as if they were the
most difficult teams they’ve ever
played.
“With the situation we’re in after
losing to Tech, we cannot afford to
underestimate any team,” A&M
noseguard Sammy O’Brient said.
“We have to prepare well for every
body because you aren’t going to win
the Southwest Conference with two
losses.”
It is a known fact that the Aggies
have had their way with the Owls in
the past. Last year, A&M pounded
Rice 45-10 at Kyle Lield and in 1985
the Owls were oeaten by the Aggies
43-28 in Houston. A&M leads the se
ries overall, 41-27-3. A&M also has
won six straight at Rice Stadium.
Those are pretty good odds, but
Sherrill said relying on the emo
tional effect of past victores will not
win Saturday’s game.
“You can only get psychologically
ready for two or three games a
year,” he said. “Your emotions and
playing carries you to another level.
The rest of the time, you play on
sheer ability. When a team lets emo
tional involvement enter the game, it
sometimes overrides its ability to
play normally.
“We had a good week of practice
last week getting ready for Baylor
and played probably our best game
of the year because we played like we
practiced — with a lot of intensity.
Hopefully, our team has learned
that they need to play like that re
gardless of who we’re playing.
“If you don’t believe me just look
at the scores every Saturday. Rice
has played well at times this year and
I don’t think their score against
Tech is indicative of how they can
play. We can’t afford to rest right
now. I don’t think anyone has shut
Rice out.”
Lreshman Quarterback Bucky
Richardson said the Rice game will
give the Aggies a chance to improve
on their game.
“I think these next two weeks are
really important for us,” Richardson
said.
Sherrill again declined to specify
A&M’s starting quarterback for the
1:30 p.m. game.
“I hope Bucky will start, but we
may start Stump if that’s what your
asking me,” Sherrill said. “It doesn’t
make any difference who we start.”
Two Aggies will rest during the
Rice game. Junior fullback Matt
Gurley will be sidelined with turf toe
and senior defensive end Guy
Broom is suffering from a sprained
knee and will not play.

St. Louis struck when Berenguer
took over to start the seventh.
On the coldest night of the fall in
St. Louis, the record crowd of
55,347 came to life when the Cardi
nals revived their World Series
chances. Jose Oquendo and Tony
Pena opened the seventh with sin-

or Tudor, bunted the runners into
scoring position.
Coleman, just 1-for-11 in the Se
ries, sliced an 0-2 pitch barely inside
the left-field line that made it 2-1.
Coleman then stole his second base
of the game and scored on Ozzie
Smith’s single that finished Bereng

Berenguer, the Twins’ ace re
liever in the American League play
offs, was again hit hard by the Cardi
nals Tuesday. He gave up two runs
on three hits in Minnesota’s 8-4 vic
tory in Game 2.
Tudor and the Cardinals finally
found a way to shut down the Twins,
who scored 18 runs on 21 hits in the
first two games. Tudor allowed one
run on four hits in seven innings and
Todd Worrell finished with one-hit
relief.
Yet even with Tudor pitching
well, it appeared it might not be
enough on a night when the temper
ature was to drop into the upper 20s.
Tudor issued his only two walks of
the game starting the sixth and Tom
Bryunansky hit an RBI single.

Robinson, who hadn’t played in
an NPL game, hit 11 of 18 passes for
152 yards, and made some big third-
down plays. He came into the game
in the first period after starting quar
terback Ed Rubbert was injured.
“We couldn’t stop him (Robinson)
when it counted,” Landry said. “He
made some big plays on third
down.”
Landry said he didn’t blame quar
terback Danny White for the loss al
though his 13-year veteran failed on
four chances from the Redskins’ 20-
yard line with less than a minute to
play.
“A lot of things that went wrong
weren’t Danny’s fault,” Landry said.
“He played pretty well, but some of
the receivers ran bad routes. They
just weren’t on the same page. It was
a very disappointing loss because we
had a chance to win it at the end.”
Washington increased its record
to 4-1 with the victory while Dallas
dropped to 3-2.
The Redskins were 3-0 with their
replacement team and Dallas was 2-
1.
“I’m thankful the veterans are
coming back,” Landry said. “They
are a little subdued right now be
cause they lost the strike, but they’ll
recover.”
Landry said the Redskins are the
team to beat in the NEC East.
• “They are the favorites right now
for sure,” Landry said. “You have to
give Washington credit for winning
all of its games with replacement
players.
“We are in a little bit of trouble
just like the New York Giants are.
We need to bring our play back to
the same level we had in the second
week of the season when we de
feated the Giants.”
NFL lawyers ask for quick
decision in Highsmith case
HOUSTON (AP) — NPL at
torneys believe a Miami judge’s
temporary injunction making
Houston first-round draft pick
Alonzo Highsmith a free agent
can be quickly lifted, restoring the
player’s rights to the Oilers.
“We believe that the state
court’s order was issued without
notice or hearing and raises se
rious jurisdictional or procedural
issues,” NLL spokesman Joe
Browne said Tuesday.
“In addition, our attorneys be
lieve that after a hearing, the
court will find that Houston’s
draft rights are lawful and should
be respected,” he said.
Circuit Judge John Gale
granted the temporary injunction
that allows Highsmith to nego
tiate with other teams and pro
hibits the NLL from taking any
action against a team that signs
him.
Miami attorney Bruce Greer
filed the request for the injunc
tion, which was granted Saturday.
The NPL and its 28 teams are
named as co-defendants.
“It’s essentially a case of collu
sion between Houston and some
other teams to depress the mar
ket value of Alonzo,” Greer said.
“He’s free for the moment to
negotiate with other teams, but
we’ll just have to see how it plays
out from there. There’s been no
final ruling, which may take a
short time or a long time,” he
said.
Houston General Manager
Ladd Herzeg said the Oilers had
turned the matter over the the
league attorneys and would have
no further comment.
If the Oilers fail to sign Highs
mith, it would be the second con
secutive year they have failed to
sign their No. 1 draft choice. The
traded No. 1 pick quarterback
Jim Everett to the Los Angeles
Rams last year after a contract im
passe.
Highsmith, the third player se
lected in the draft, has been a
holdout since July 28.
“I’m sure the Oilers will take
me to court, but before the case
can be heard, I might already
have been with another team for
a year,” Highsmith said.
“I had to do what I thought
was in my best interests because
I’m a football player and I want to
play football,” he said.
