From the Associated Press
The Houston Cougars have once
again shown the Texas Aggies that
all good things, such as winning
streaks, eventually come to an end.
The Cougars ended a five-game
A&M streak to start the 1985-86
Southwest Conference season.
Then Sunday, Houston beat
A&M 67-63 in Hofheinz Pavilion to
hand the Aggies their first SWC loss
after a 4-0 start.
The Cougars did it with a bal
anced scoring attack, led by Craig
Upchurch’s 18 points and the return
of Horace Chaney, who missed one
game because of scholastic questions.
A&M, 12-7 for the season, fell
into a tie with the Arkansas Razor-
backs in league play at 4-1. Houston
improved to 3-2 in league play and
8-6 overall.
“It feels a lot better now with a full
crew,” Houston Coach Pat Foster
said. “It’s been tough to lose by two,
three or four points with either
(Randy) Brown or Chaney out.
“We certainly feel more confident
now, but it’s a long road back.”
Foster had to juggle his lineup this
season when Brown briefly quit the
team. Chaney sat out Tuesday’s 69-
65 loss to Southern Methodist until
Rolando Ferreira’s two free throws
with eight seconds to play ended the
comeback hope.
“We didn’t play together as a
team,” Aggie guard Darryl McDon
ald said. “I think they were out-hus
tling us. They tried to ‘body’ us and
make us play harder and we weren’t
ready for it.”
In other games Saturday, Baylor
defeated Rice 84-68, Southern
Methodist beat Texas Tech 80-75
and Texas beat Texas Christian 74-
56.
Baylor’s Darryl Middleton scored
a career-high 38 points, the most
against a Rice team in two years, in
leading the Bears past the struggling
Owls.
“I was just hot tonight,” Middle-
ton explained. “One-on-one, there
ain’t no one in the conference that
can stop me.”

questions about his eligibility could
be answered.
Houston scored 14 of the final 17
points in the first half to turn a 23-22
deficit into a 36-26 lead. During the
streak, which covered about 6'/2
minutes, Upchurch scored 10 of his
18 points.
The Aggies scored 10 of the first
12 points of the second half to cut
Houston’s advantage to 38-36, but
the Cougars never lost the lead.
“It was a well-devised press,”
Houston’s Richard Hollis said. “We
adjusted to the press but we were
still timid.”
The Aggies still had a chance
when James McGhee hit a 3-point
basket with 12 seconds to play, but
Middleton’s performance was the
most points scored against the Owls
since Baylor’s Carlos Briggs hit 41
points Feb. 27, 1985.
Todd Alexander provided the
scoring punch for SMU in its victory
over the Red Raiders, scoring 24
points, including four of six from
the 3-point range.
The Mustangs hit 50 per cent of
their shots from outside.
“I really thought their outside
shooting was the difference,” Tech
Coach Gerald Myers said. “Their
outside people just took over late in
the game and showed how well they
can shoot.”
Texas snapped a 3-game losing
streak in its victory over the Horned
Frogs. Forward Alvin Heggs scored
18 points and had 10 rebounds to
pace the Longhorns.
The Aggies will try to rebound at
Texas Tech on Wednesday while
Arkansas will travel to Rice. In other
Wednesday games, Houston is at
Baylor and Texas is at Southern
Methodist.

Coach Jackie Sherrill can now also
be called Professor Jackie Sherrill.
During it’s Sunday meeting, the
Texas A&M Board of Regents be
stowed upon Athletic Director and
Head Football Coach Jackie Sherrill
the title of Professor of Athletics
with tenure.
Sherrill is the founder of the 12th

During Sherrill’s tenure as Ath
letic Director, A&M sports teams

championships and have competed
in 11 post-season games or tourna
ments.
Sherrill has also been credited
with improving graduation rates of
A&M athletes and installing a new
drug-testing program for all ath
letes.
Sherrill, who was hired Jan. 19,
1982, said it was a great honor and
that he “did not make a bad deci
sion” when he decided to come to
A&M.
Sherrill coached at the University
of Pittsburgh, where he compiled a
50-9-1 record before arriving at
A&M. Sherrill’s teams in 1980 and
1981 finished No.2 in tW& Associated

His coaching career began in 1966
as a graduate assistant for Alabama
under Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.
He has also been an assistant coach
for Arkansas and Iowa State, and
was head coach at Washington State
in 1976.
Sherrill’s record at A&M stands at
35-12 overall, and he is the only
A&M coach to beat the University of
Texas four times in a row.
His A&M teams have won two of
the past three Cotton Bowls, defeat
ing Auburn 36-16 in 1985 and beat
ing Notre Dame 35-10 last Jan. 1.
The Aggies lost the 1987 Cotton
Bowl 28-12 at the hands of Ohio
State.
Sherrill’s career coaching record
is 98-40-2, good for 12th best among
active coaches in Divisionl-A.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sprinter Ben
Johnson, acclaimed the “World’s
Fastest Human” after breaking the
world record in the 100-meter dash
last year when he went unbeaten in
21 races, was named the Associated
Press Male Athlete of the Year on
Sunday by an overwheljning margin.
Johnson became the first Ca
nadian track athlete to win the
honor and only the second Canadian
in the award’s 57-year history — the
other was hockey player Wayne
Gretzky in 1982.
Johnson received 48 first-place
votes, 18 seconds, 28 thirds and 322
points in balloting by sports writers
and broadcasters. Points were al-
loted on a 5-3-1 basis.
Wide receiver Jerry Rice of the
San Francisco 49ers, who set an NFL
record with 22 touchdown recep
tions in only 12 games, finished sec
ond with 222 points on the basis of
22 firsts, 26 seconds and 34 thirds.
Chicago’s Michael Jordan, the
NBA’s leading scorer this season,
was third with 206 points, including
24 first-place votes, 22 seconds and
20 thirds.
Another NBA star, Magic John
son of the Los Angeles Lakers, the
league’s most valuable player last
season, and Bo Jackson, who played
baseball with the Kansas City Royals
and football with the Los Angeles
Raiders in 1987, tied for fourth with
192 points each.
Johnson collected 24 first-place
votes and Jackson 20.
Jordan, Johnson and heavyweight
champion Mike Tyson, who finished
ninth with 170 points, tied for the
second-most first-place votes with 24
apiece.
Last year’s Male Athlete of the
Year, Larry Bird of the NBA’s Bos
ton Celtics, got only four first-place
votes this time and wound up in a
16th-place tie with 20 points.
The Associated Press Lemaje Ath
lete of the Year will be announced
Monday.
Both winner will be honored Feb.
26 by the Tampa Sports Club at a
banquet in Florida.
The 26-year-old Johnson, a native
of Jamaica, shattered the world re
cord in the 100 by a remarkable one-
tenth of a second last year, clocking
9.83 seconds in the final at the
World Outdoor Championships
Aug. 31 in Rome.
Generally, when sprint records
are broken, they are eclipsed by
hundredths of seconds, not tenths.
But Johnson, in running the
greatest 100-meter dash ever, erased
the previous record of 9.93, set by
Calvin Smith of the United States in
1983 at altitude in Colorado Springs,
Colo.
Johnson was running at sea level.
And in order to win, he had to
break the world record — because
runner-up Carl Lewis of the United
States, the 1984 Olympic champion,
matched the old mark of 9.93.
Although Johnson’s time was a
stunner, it should not have been that
much of a surprise.
In his six races prior to the World
Championships, he had put together
a sensational series of clockings —
10.07 at Athens, Greece; 9.98 at the
Canadian Championships in To
ronto; 10.05 at Malmo, Sweden;
10.00 at Koblenz, West Germany;
9.95 at Cologne, West Germany, and
9.97 at Zurich, Switzerland.
