The American men scored a 102- 87 victory over Brazil, which had sent shock waves through America last year by winning the basketball ti tle in the Pan American Games with a stunning upset of the United States. Carbajal, meanwhile, moved the U.S. boxing team another step far ther from oblivion with a mean vic tory over a South Korean who beat him last year in a dual meet in Seoul. The Soviets won five medals Tuesday, four gold, to run their leading total to 11, including six gold. China has seven medals, one gold, and Bulgaria has six, three gold. The United States was fourth with five medals, two gold. Meanwhile, Said Aouita of Mo rocco sent ripples of disbelief through the world of track and field. Now, it appears he may try for an Olympic triple in the 800, 1,500 and 5,000 — even though the two longer races will be run 20 minutes apart on the next-to-last day of the Games. Aouita is the world record-holder at 1,500 and 5,000 meters. “He’s a fabulous athlete, but his schedule would be absolutely phe nomenal,” former British running great Steve Ovett said from London. Greg Louganis of Boca Raton, Fla., live stitches still in his head from a rare blown dive the day be fore, won the springboard Tuesday, launching himself toward an un precedented double-double. “I knew I was going to have to be strong,” said Louganis, who hit his head on the board in qualifying and spun into the water like a downed Spitfire. “I was really scared.” With the platform event coming up next week, Louganis now is pointing toward a second straight sweep, something no diver ever has done in an Olympics. In the pool Wednesday, the U.S. water polo team kept the surge going with a 7-6 victory over defend ing champion Yugoslavia. It was a big victory for America’s littlest boxer when Carbajal, of Phoenix, Ariz., defeated Oh Kwang- soo of South Korea 3-2 in a 106- pound matchup, giving the United States two straight boxing victories. Oh, considered a prime gold medal candidate, scored with the harder punches, but Carbajal jabbed and countered well, often scoring with big flurries in a fight marked by a lot of holding and wrestling. “He’s the hometown hero,” the 21-year-old Carbajal said. “I had to fight hard because of the crowd.” Kenneth Gould advanced on Tuesday in the 147-pound division after two stunning U.S. losses — a first-round knockout of Kelcie Banks and the loss by walkover of Anthony Hembrick. Gould was camped on the floor of the gymnasium long before his 147- pound bout startea. He might not win, but he was going to be there — especially after what happened to Hembrick the day before. Hembrick showed up too late for his bout after a coach misread the schedule. “It doesn’t matter if it’s three hours, you just got to get here before the bout starts,” Gould said. Gould, a world champion, out pointed Joseph Marwa of Tanzania. The U.S. basketball team com pleted a strong day for America at the Olympics on Tuesday. Going to a weapon not known to be heavily stocked in its arsenal, the 3-point goal, the U.S. team beat Canada 76- 70 for its second straight victory. Matson: Olympic were simpler one: By Sherri Roberts Reporter Though payoffs and steroids are common controversies in the world of sports today, one former Olympic athlete remembers when athletics was a little less compli cated. Randy Matson, Class of '67 and Olympic shotput gold medalist, reflected on his memories of the Olympic games Tuesday night in the MSC at a presentation spon sored by the MSC Jordan Insti tute for International Awareness. “There is a feeling of unity that takes place at the Olympics,” Mat- son said. “Even though you may not speak the same language or have the same culture, there is a special feeling because you’re striving for the same goal.” Matson, who won a gold medal in the 1968 Games in Mexico City and a silver medal in the 1964 Games in Tokyo, said the Olym pics have become much more commercialized and politically entangled than when he com peted. “1 was very fortunate,” Matson said. “I got to compete at the end of the glory years of track and field.” The glory years began to fade, however, as the Olympics became a political chess piece at times. Terrorist attacks, demonstrations and boycotts overshadowed the games in the following years. Matson said he disagrees strongly with the mixing of poli tics and the Olympics because it defeats the original purpose of the games — to bring the compet itors of the world together to compete and gain a better under standing of one another. Recalling the closing ceremo nies of the 1964 Tokyo Matson said, “I’ll never forgei moment when 10,000 atliJ man. bed into the stadiumsinijl /ol. £ ‘Sayonara.’ ” Matson said he took the of a Hungarian javelin th and of a Russian discus throti as the athletes joined in a slick spontaneous unity. "It hasn’t accomplished wo; peace,’ he said, "hut ithasacJ plished an understanding." Matson said the issue oft ning carried a grave import among the athletes from the ern European countries, dren showing signs of atl skill are placed in schools special training facilities a earlv age by the government Winning is crucial tothegi eminent, lie added, becau* equates the skillfulness of its j[ letes with the superiorityofi economic system. However, Matson saidthti viet athletes resembled th American counterparts by more interested in sports t| government. “We probably had a ben relationship with the Russiani!i| letes than we do with theUnii# sh\ of Texas," Matson said. M atson said that whereveri competed — Tokyo, Mexkoti or Kiev — an Aggie wasalwam the crowd to support him.

No, Batiste is as easy to find off the field as on. He contrasts with Roper here as well. Roper was at the press confer ence too — much to the surprise of the media. It’s a rare occasion when the All-American will grace the writ ers who made him famous with his magnanimous presence. Yep, he was there all right. Com plete with fancy mirrored shades, portable radio, huge earphones and attitude. He read through the sports section of a newspaper and gave mildly interesting answers for about 10 minutes. But the writers didn’t throng him like they did Batiste. Roper might — and we emphasize the word might — be a better player, but as far as the press is concerned, Batiste is the team spokesman. Quite a contrast between the two players, who now are roommates as well. “I have to sleep with one eye open,” Batiste said. “You never know what he’s going to do. He might set fire to the room.” But the increased media attention doesn’t seem to have affected the se nior from Spring. His answers still ring with unusual and refreshing honesty — even the ones that would sound spoon-fed from most other players. At the NCAA press conference, he said all the things you would ex pect a coach to want his player to say, but Batiste made it sound like he really meant every word. He proba bly did. Most players wouldn’t ever admit to being less than completely knowl edgeable about the opponent of the week. Not Batiste. Witness one conversation from Tuesday’s interview: “We’ve got to stop their favorite plays. We haven’t been doing that.” Question: “What are their favorite plays?” Batiste: “1 don’t know. 1 hey’ve got some. Everybody’s got some. Hey, it's only Tuesday! Every media representative in the room was rolling. And Batiste was too. Every player on the team would have watched Southwest Conference football during an off-week, right.- Wrong. “They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t matter. 1 like to compare us with the teams we’re not going to play." Consequently he watched Mi.uni- Michigan instead ol Baylor-Iowa State. Just like practical!) every other football fan in the country. And he was really upset about having to watch football on tele vision last weekend instead of heat ing up on the University of Ala bama, right? Wrong. “The roughest part about having three weeks off? To tell you the truth, I can’t think of anything that's rough about three weeks of f. "I’d like to thank Alabai those two days (of rest). Ik here four years, and I’ve tint two days. “I’m kind of expectingwl alxnit five of 10 (games lefn going to have to play Br™ School) and Consol (A&MG idatecl High) to beef up our? !e.” But that doesn’t mean heir rious about football.

Batiste didn't rule out ihe: of spending four years of fe Stillwater, Okla. either. “It’s a place,” he said. “Itsin homa." And he laughed,asi said it all.

Batiste also said he feels a win in Saturday’s game would be a tremen dous boost to the morale of the team heading into Southwest conference play. “We’re mad,” Batiste said. “We want to play at home. We want to go in to the conference with a victory, so this is a critical game.” The Aggie defense faces the heavy task of stopping an explosive OSU offense that returns six of the top seven rushers and two of four of its four top receivers. Junior quarterback Mike Gundy leads a unit that amassed 548 total yards against Miami (Ohio) in the season opener two weeks ago. Gundy became the all-time OSU ca reer passing yardage leader in tne opener with 4,038 yards while com pleting 56.9 percent of his passes in his career. In spite of Gundy’s impressive numbers. Batiste feels the Aggie de fense can stop him. “He likes to scramble and throw the ball,” Batiste said. “We’ve got some people that can contain him.” Sherrill said the Cowboys’ bal anced attack makes it harder for A&M to prepare defensively. “They’re extremely balanced,” Sherrill said. “It makes it difficult to get ready because a lot of times a team can do certain things in one phase and you can kind of gang up on those things.” OSU also has a player who is per haps the most explosive performer A&M will face all season in running back and return specialist Barry Sanders. The 5-foot-8, 195 pound junior has returned three kickoffs for touchdowns in his career (a Big Eight record) and scored 14 touch downs last year while rushing for 622 yards. Sanders opened the sea son with a 100-yard kickoff return for a score against Miami (Ohio). It is the second straight year he has begun the season with a kickoff return for a touchdown. “Most people that have played them felt that Sanders was better (last year) than (All-American Thur man) Thomas was,” Sherrill said. “They felt he was tougher to tackle and faster.” The third key player in the OSU arsenal is senior All-American split end Hart Lee Dykes. Dykes is riding a streak of 25 con- set uttve games in which he hsiJ a pass and has had at leasii catches in all but one gameofl streak. In the season opener, caught eight passes for 175 and one touchdown, that mance moved him into see on the all-time Big Eight me list with 148 career receptions, 11 is 2,068 career yardage tot ranks him second in the Big record book behind Nebraska Johnny Rodgers. “Hart Lee Dykes is the pi receiver in the country said. Batiste spoke of Dykes running routes over the defenses and looks forward to ^ ing up with him. “He goes across the middle! Batiste said. “That’s tough.Vf meet a couple of times.” SEE WHATS DEVELOPING! rwiii* PHOTO CENTER INC. 846-5418 — Northgate ★ Complete Supplies for Photo Classes ★ NEW!
