Hobbled by knee surgery, Sim
mons played in one series against
Southern Miss and then was
redshirted.
Lewis, in gaining the SWC New
comer of the Year award, had ster
ling efforts against Southern Miss
(103 yards), Baylor (104 yards) and
TCU (194 yards). It could be Heis-
man City for Lewis in the not-too-
distant-future.
But the Aggies didn’t make it on
talent alone. Luck had a big part in
it, too. Thank the schedule makers
for having the good graces to sched
ule all of A&M’s important games,
with the exception of the TCU
game, at home. This fact alone made
the Arkansas and Texas games prac
tically won before the fact.
The big test will come next year,
when the schedule is exactly oppo
site. If the Aggies can survive that
schedule, which includes road games
against LSU and Oklahoma State in
addition to SWC road games against
mad-as-hell Texas and Arkansas,
their faces should be chiseled into
Mount Rushmore.
Overall, considering the youth
and inexperience of the team, A&M
came away with flying colors on its
way to face Notre Dame in Dallas.
The Aggies were far and away the
best team in the SWC despite a loss
tq Texas Tech that never should
have happened. The best should be
ahead for the Aggies, who should be
in the forefront of the conference
for years to come now.
Now if only they can survive that
schedule . . .
Rockets come back
for win over Nuggets
HOUSTON (AP) — Ralph
Sampson scored the go-ahead
basket with 36 seconds left to
spark the Houston Rockets to a
106-101 come-from-behind vic
tory over the Denver Nuggets
Tuesday night.
With the score tied at 100,
Sampson connected on a hook
shot from the line to give the
Rockets the lead for good.
Allen Leavell and Rodney Mc
Cray each hit a pair of free
throws in the final 1/ seconds left
to ensure the Rockets’ win.
Sampson finished with 20
points and 17 rebounds, while
Akeem Olajuwon had 22 points
and 14 rebounds for Houston.
Denver was led by Alex English
with 26 points and Blair Rasmus
sen had a career-high 25.
Trailing 90-87, Houston
scored nine straight points to take
a 96-92 lead with 4:42 left.
Denver tied the game at 96
with 2:31 left, then moved in
front and held the lead until Ola
juwon hit a three-point play with
1:29 left to put Houston up 100-
98. Rasmussen then tied it for
Denver, setting the stage for
Sampson’s game-winner.
The Rockets had lost four of
their last five games before Tues
day night’s clash and now stand at
8-6 on the year.
Bears cruise
past NTSU
for 72-63 win
DENTON (AP) — Michael
Williams and Darryl Middleton
scored 21 points each as Baylor
defeated North Texas State 72-63
Tuesday night in a non-confer
ence basketball game.
Baylor improved to 2-2, while
North Texas dropped to 1-1.
Middleton, a 6-9 center, con
nected on 8-of-14 from the field,
while Williams, a 6-3 guard, hit 8-
of-13 from the field and led the
Bears with nine rebounds.
Tony Worrell led North Texas
State, also with 21 points. Wen
dell Williams added 16 points and
Ronnie Morgan 10 points for the
Eagles. William Smith led NTSU
in rebounding with nine.
Survey: 1/3 of football programs
in Division 1-A cheat regularly
CINCINNATI (AP) — Nearly
one-third of NCAA Division I foot
ball programs regularly violate
NCAA regulations and when they
do, coaches often look the other way,
coaches told University of Cincinnati
researchers in a nationwide survey
released Tuesday.
When cheating takes place,
coaches are usually aware of it, the
coaches said in responding to the
survey.
But almost three-quarters of the
coaches surveyed also said they be
lieve most of their colleagues are
honest, have high ethical standards
and want to run clean athletic pro
grams. The pressure to win is the
main cause of cheating, according to
67.2 percent of the surveyed
coaches.
“To a large extent, I don’t think
the coach is any different than the
average person on the street. I think
most coaches want to run a clean
program with no cheating and don’t
want to be placed in a position where
they have to look the other way,”
said Francis T. Cullen, one of three
University of Cincinnati criminolo
gists who conducted the survey. “But
we also have a situation where the
bottom line is winning, and if they
don’t win, they lose their jobs.”
The coaches were also polled
about substance abuse among stu
dent-athletes. They identified alco
hol, and then steroids, as the biggest
sources of substance abuse. The
coaches also identified uses of co
caine and marijuana as serious prob
lems for athletes. They were not
asked to say how widespread they
think the drug use is, Cullen said.
The coaches were promised ano
nymity for their responses and pro
vided them in written question
naires.
Cullen said the questionnaires
were sent to head coaches of all 192
NCAA Division I-A and Division I-
AA, or major-college, football pro
grams. Of those, 122 coaches re
sponded, a good ratio for busy peo
ple, Cullen said.
He said 49.2 percent of the ques
tionnaires came from Division 1-A
coaches and 50.8 percent were from
Division I-A A coaches.
“There wasn’t any bias toward the
smaller schools. It was pretty evenly
split, so that gives us more confi
dence in the response,” Cullen said.
“If you protect the anonymity of the
coaches, they’re more likely to be
honest in their answers.”
“We’re not aware of the survey,
and so on that basis, it would be in
appropriate for us to comment,"
said spokesman Jim Marchiony at
National Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion headquarters in Mission, Kan.
The NCAA has about 800 mem
ber schools nationwide. Membership
is voluntary and the schools make
the rules, which the NCAA staff
must then enforce, Marchiony said.

White’s wrist key to QB’s future
<
IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach
Tom Landry said Tuesday he
doesn’t want Danny White back next
year unless his veteran quarterback’s
right wrist is totally healed.
“His (White’s) whole future rests
on that and I think he recognizes it,”
Landry said. “He throws well 95 per
cent of the time, but the other 5 per
cent kills us.”
White told the Associated Press
recently he hoped to play two or
three more years. He also said he
was considering an operation.
“I don’t think he (White) will
come back unless he is 100 percent
healthy,” Landry said. “If he is, then
he will battle for the starting job.”
White, who lost a ligament when
his wrist was broken last year, threw
four touchdown passes against Min
nesota on Thanksgiving Day but suf
fered two critical interceptions that
the Vikings parlayed into a 44-38
overtime victory.
“Danny has a blockage in his wrist
and doesn’t know whether the ball
will go up or down when he throws
it,” Landry said. “We have to protect
ourself. We will not go into next sea
son fully behind Danny unless he is
ready.”
Landry said he wasn’t ordering
White to undergo surgery but added
“something has to happen. The wrist
has to improve itself either through
rest or an operation.”
Houstonians filling skybox quota
HOUSTON (AP) — Area busi
ness leaders say they are optimistic
about meeting a Dec. 15 deadline to
market 72 new Astrodome luxury
skyboxes needed to keep the Hous
ton Oilers in the city.
The number of written commit
ments still has not reached the mini
mum set forth in an agreement
reached in October by Houston Oil
ers owner Bud Adams, the Houston
Sports Association and Harris
County, said Tommy Smith, exec
utive assistant to Adams.
“They’ve had a significant num
ber of people step forward and give
verbal commitments,” Smith said.
“The question is, how many people
are going to sign up?”
Several weeks ago, Adams said the
team had received 59 verbal commit
ments and 40 other inquiries from
potential buyers.
“We’re going to meet our goal and
our deadline,” said Ray Viator,
spokesman for the Houston Eco
nomic Development Council.
“That’s all we can talk about right
now. Sometime before the 15th,
we’re going to make an announce
ment.”
He refused to say how many writ
ten commitments have been re
ceived for the boxes.
Aggies face
Cornhuskers
in Nebraska
The Texas A&M men’s basket
ball team will square off against
the Nebraska Cornhuskers to
night in Lincoln, Neb. at 7:35.
The
Aggies, who are in the
midst of a five game road trip, are
coming off a 69-65 win over
Houston Baptist Monday night in
Houston, which evened their re
cord at 1 -1.
Nebraska is 1-2 for the season
with its lone win coming in the
Hawaiian Airlines Maui Classic
against Chaminade, 76-75.
Senior guard Darryl McDonald
leads the team in assists, steals
and scoring with a 22 point-per-
game average. Junior transfer
Donald Thompson leads the
team in rebounding, grabbing
nine boards per game and adding
an average of 15 points per game,
second best on the team.
