Thursday, February 11, 1988AThe Battalion/Page 15
Extramural sports
to be new feature
By Curtis L. Culberson
Assistant Sports Editor
More of the state’s and the na
tion’s top athletes were added to
Head Coach and Athletic Director
Jackie Sherrill’s stockpile of talent
Wednesday, but some of the nation’s
most compedve athletes are already
on the A&M campus going unno
ticed.
Everyone knows the 12th Man
does more than just stand at football
games. A&M students are quite ath
letic and competitive, but up until
now, The Battalion hasn’t given
them the coverage they deserve.
Next week The Battalion sports
department will start a new feature
called 12th Man Scoreboard. Batt
sports is interested in the victories
and the defeats of the more than 30
teams that participate in extramural
sports.
They’re not in the sports pages
now, but A&M athletes have won
and will win regional and national
championships in a wide variety of
sports.
Last year the A&M olympic-style
weightlifting team claimed the na
tional championship. The Aggie
hanrlhall team was tope in the nation
two years ago and No. 2 last year.
The bowling team boasts one of the
nation’s best collegiate bowlers, Mike
Shoemaker.
The Aggies will soon send teams
to regional competition in several
sports including lacrosse, pistol
shooting, polo, racquetball, wrestling
and judo. The men’s volleyball team
will play in tournaments with some
of the nation’s best teams which fea
ture Olympic competitiors.
The sports staff feels that students
are interested in these teams. This
feature will be about students you
may sit next to in class or drink beer
with at Northgate.
The sports page’s primary interest
will still be Cain Hall’s heroes and
the traditonal major sporting events.
But once or twice a week we’ll run
this new feature to keep readers up-
to-date on the sports we’ve missed in
the past.
Extramural team captains inter
ested in submitting information such
as scores, leading scorers and future
events can contact Curtis Culberson
or Anthony Wilson at 845-2688.

Ags, Huskers may play
in Kickoff Classic game
From Staff and Wire Reports
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska is
willing to take on Texas A&M in the
August Kickoff Classic, Cornhuskers
Coach Tom Osborne said Wednes
day.
“I don’t want to get people too ex
cited about it,” Osborne said. “They
(Kickoff Classic officials) ap
proached us earlier and they came
back again.”
Osborne said he spoke Tuesday
with A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill
about the Cornhuskers playing the
Cotton Bowl champs in the presea
son Kickoff Classic played at East
Rutherford, N.J.
However, Osborne said approval
would have to come from University
of Nebraska Athletic Director Bob
Devaney, administrators and the Big
Eight Conference before the Corn
huskers could commit.
Nebraska played in the first Kick
off Classic in 1983, defeating Penn
State 44-6. The Huskers grossed
about $450,000 from the game,
about what they would expect this
year.
“It really isn’t finalized, but we
have some interest in the game,” Os
borne said. “Apparently A&M
would be the team we would play.
Even that has not been completely fi
nalized. ... I would hope by the end
of the week we would have an an
swer.”
Nebraska became eligible for the
game this year because of a stipula
tion that a team may only appear in
the Kickoff Classic only once every
five years.
Classic organizers indicated Tues
day that there was a problem in lin
ing up an opponent and a date ac
ceptable to A&M, which tentatively
had accepted an invitation.
“Because certain key people in
volved in the selection process are
traveling, it became impossible to
make all the phone calls today
(Wednesday) and complete all the
discussions,” Bob Mulcahy, presi
dent and chief executive officer of
the New Jersey Sports & Exposition
Authority, which puts on the game
at Giants Stadium, told the Asso
ciated Press.
“It may take 48 hours to resolve,”
he said.
Mulcahy had said earlier that the
pairing for the sixth annual Kickoff
Classic would be announced Tues
day.
The AP Teported over the week
end that A&M, winner of three

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
shocked the Boston Celtics in their
first game after the NBA All-Star
break but Celtics center Robert Par
ish says the big test begins tonight
for the retooled Rockets.
“This team (Houston) can be as
good as it wants to be but everybody
gets up for us,” Parish said after
Tuesday night’s 129-120 loss to the
Rockets.
The Rockets take their four-game
winning streak on the road to Seattle
tonight and their real test will be
how they perform against the rest of
the league, Parish said.
“The big test for them is tomor
row,” Parish said. “But I wouldn’t be
surprised if they beat the Lakers.”
The Rockets have been under the
microscope since Dec. 12, when they
sent Ralph Sampson to Golden State
in exchange for guard Sleepy Floyd
and center Joe Barry Carroll.
After road games at Seattle, Los
Angeles Clippers and Portland, the
Rockets will return home for more
scrutiny next week with games Tues
day against Sampson and the War
riors and Thursday against the Los
Angeles Lakers.
“The Lakers should be worried,
everybody should be worried,” said
Boston Coach K.C. Jones.
Parish said the Rockets have the
ingredients of a top playoff team.
“It’s just a matter of time before
they jell,” Parish said. “They come
hard at you with a lot of guys off the
bench.
“Rebounding against us was like a
day at the beach for them. They
were sending people to the boards
and we were giving them free shots
(second shots) every time down the
court.”
The Rockets beat the Celtics on a
night when Larry Bird scored 44
points and led the Celtics with 15 re
bounds. Carroll scored 18 points off
the bench and Purvis Short, also ob
tained from Golden State, hit 21
points.
“Joe Barry is one of the most ef
fective low post players in the league
and he’s got some new life on the
other end, too. That’s something we
haven’t seen before,” Parish said.
The Rockets’ bench outscored the
Celtics 45-7.

Congratulations!
straight Southwest Conference
championships, had accepted an in
vitation. Sherrill said Tuesday that
he would prefer that the Kickoff
Classic be played Thursday night,
Aug. 25.
However, Osborne said he
thought the game likely would be
played Saturday, Aug. 27.
“I think the timing would be OK,
it just makes for a very long season.
There’s good and bad in that,” Os
borne said. “It’s great if you can go
back and win it and come out
healthy. But there’s a lot of risk of
injury or loss of the game.”
NCAA rules say the earliest a col
lege football game can be played is
Sept. 1, unless that date falls on a
Sunday or Monday, in which case
regular-season games can be played
the preceding Saturday.
An exception is made for the
Kickoff Classic, which the NCAA
manual specifies is to be played “in
the week prior to the beginning of
the traditional fall season.” This
year, the first games other than the
Kickoff Classic are scheduled for
Sept. 3.
Texas A&M, 10-2 last year and
No. 10 in the final AP rankings, al
ready has September games sched
uled against LSU, Alabama and Ok
lahoma State. If the Aggies play in
the Kickoff Classic, Sherrill would
like to have as much time as possible
between that game and a trip to LSU
on Sept. 3.
“If you play well, it really doesn’t
necessarily make any difference
about the outcome if you’re playing
the right opponent,” Sherrill said at
a press conference in College Station
Wednesday. “If you win, certainly it
does a big, big thing for you. The
only thing that’ll hurt you is if you
lose a player. You roll the dice. But
people have a lot more respect for
people playing somebody.”
Nebraska finished the 1987 sea
son 10-2 and sixth-ranked after a 10-
0 start. The Cornhuskers were
ranked No. 1 for one week before its
last regular season game, a 17-7 loss
to Oklahoma. Nebraska also lost 31-
28 to Florida State in the Fiesta
Bowl.
Florida State was No. 2 and Okla
homa No. 3 in the final AP poll.
Nebraska, led by All-Big Eight
Conference quarterback Steve Tay
lor, is scheduled to open its 1988 sea
son Sept. 3 against Utah State in Lin
coln.
