The world premiere of a provocative comedy/drama!
The 16th Century California coast is the setting for this
intriguing encounter between native Americans and
European sailors under the command of Sir Francis Drake.
Drake, his crew, his captured Spaniards, his Cimaroon
mistress, and the Olamentko Indians all find each other
equally mysterious. This comic clash of cultures is an
innovative, sometimes poignant, often disconcerting and
always entertaining, perspective on the roots of much of
today’s cultural misunderstanding. The Aggie Players non-
traditional/cross-cultural casting will accentuate the
play’s theme.
Please join us for this exciting world premiere!

Injury-riddled Ags need time to heo
By Hal L. Hammons
Assistant Sports Editor
Injuries were once again the main
topic of discussion at Texas A&M
Head Coach Jackie Sherrill’s press
conference Tuesday at Cain Hall
Dining Hall.
“We’re really kind of devastated”
Sherrill said of the wave of injuries
that has struck the Aggies in the past
few weeks.
Backup center John Elam, backup
outside linebacker Jeroy Robinson
and defensive end Guy Broom all
have sprained knees and are out of
Saturday’s game against Louisiana
Tech at Kyle Field.
Fullback Matt Gurley (turf toe
and dislocated finger) backup de
fensive end Albert Jones (knee) and
left guard Trace McGuire (knee)
also are out. Elam and McGuire are
out for the season.
Extra problems on the offensive
line surfaced when McGuire’s
backup, Mike Pappas, sprained his
neck. Sherrill said Pappas is “very
questionable” for Saturday.
Starting center Matt Wilson has a
sprained knee and also is questiona
ble, leaving huge question marks in
the left-center of tne offensive line.
The right guard, Jerry Fontenot, has
a strained groin and is also question
able.
Sherrill said the staff was keeping
a careful eye on Chet Brooks, who
has a sprained knee and is listed as
probable for the game. Other proba
bles include running backs Keith
Woodside (bruised shoulder), Dar
ren Lewis (bruised knee) and Larry
Horton (strained knee). Quar
terback Bucky Richardson (bruised
hip) also is probable.
Sherrill said the injury situation is
the worst he has experienced at
Texas A&M.

Horned Frogs’ Jeffery
garners SWC honors
From the Associated Press
Tony Jeffery, who owns all of
Texas Christian’s career rushing re
cords, has another mark to tell his
grandchildren about some day.
For a record fourth time, Jeffery,
a senior from Gladewater, has been
named The Associated Press’ South
west Conference Offensive Player of
the Week.
No other player has been so hon
ored as many times during his colle
giate career since the weekly award
began in the early 1970s.
Fort
the 1986 Frog-Bear clasfi at
Worth.
“This is a very special award for
me,” Spradlin said. “It’s my first one.
I can remember losing out to Domi
ngo Bryant (of Texas A&M) in 1985.
I think I had five quarterback sacks
in a game but he (Bryant) had some
thing like three interceptions. ”

Jeffery had 174 yards on 19 car
ries, including two touchdowns Sat
urday in Texas Christian’s stunning
24-0 blanking of the Baylor Bears.
“As Tony goes, we go,” TCU
Coach Jim Wacker said. “He had a
great game.”
So did teammate David Spradlin,
a senior defensive end who is a
Horned Frog co-captain. A 6-2, 240-
pounder from Seminole, he took his
redshirt season last year and had 12
tackles against the Bears on their
homecoming in Waco.
TCU defensive coordinator Rick
Johnson said, “David played a tre
mendous game. If he didn’t establish
himself as one of the best in the
. league last week, then I’m not sure
what a ballplayer has to do.”
Jeffery had an 80-yard scoring
run against Baylor and proved his
versatility by throwing a crisp block
to spring quarterback David Rascoe
on a 17-yard scoring run.
“I felt as good about the block as I
did the long touchdown run,” Jeff
ery said.
He was credited with S'/a quar
terback sacks for 15 yards in losses to
become The AP’s Defensive Player
of the Week.
Spradlin also caused a fumble,
pressured the quarterback into two
errant tosses and tackled a rurjning
back for a 5-yard loss.
Not bad for someone who was in
street clothes during the Baylor-
TCU game last year. In fact, Sprad
lin was one of five finalists for TCU’s
homecoming “king” but lost out in
It was a long-awaited break
through against Baylor for Jeffery.
His previous long run in three ca
reer games against Baylor was 12
yards. He had never rushed for
more than 62 yards against the
Bears.
“It was satisfying to finally have a
good game against them,” Jeffery
said. “They had my number.”
Jeffery has vaulted into the ninth
spot on the SWC all-time rushing list
with 3,304 yards, only 14 behind
Dickie Morton of Arkansas.
Currenty jeffery is fifth in the na
tion, averaging 129.7 yardsp
His 80-yard run was the ninth of his
career of 40 yards or longer.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
South Carolina, which has won
three straight since a tough loss at
Nebraska, made The Associated
Press college football rankings
Tuesday for the first time this
season. And Coach Joe Morrison
had no doubt where the credit be
longed.
“It’s a tribute to our players
and coaches,” Morrison said
Tuesday after the Gamecocks
were ranked 19th. "We just want
to be up there in the Top 20 at
the end of the year, too.
“Sure, we’re glad to be ranked
in the Top 20,” he said. “It’s nice
to know people across the coun
try have been paying attention to
our team this season.”
South Carolina, which lost to
Nebraska 30-21 taking a 21-13
lead into the final period, beat
East Carolina 34-12 this past
weekend to run its record to 5-2
and make the Top 20 for the first
time since early 1985.
The top six teams remained
the same in this week’s poll, while
Michigan fell out for the second
time in three weeks.
Top-rated Oklahoma’s 24-6
victory over Colorado earned the
Sooners 40 of 60 first-place votes
and 1,176 of a possible 1,200
points from a nationwide panel of
sports writers and sportscasters.
Nebraska, a 56-3 winner over
Kansas State, received 13 first-
place votes and 1,134 points while
the other seven first-place ballots
went to Miami of Florida, which
defeated Cincinnati 48-10 and to
