Americans get even
with pair of victories
i
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The
U.S. basketball team and boxer Mi
chael Carbajal both got even
Wednesday, even as America began
to assert itself at the Seoul Olympics.
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.
He recalled a particular
memorable moment of comps
lion in Kiev, when, amongva
seemed like an audience(
60,000 Russians, he heard k*
one yell, "Gig ’em Aggies.’’

Batiste
(Continued from page 9)
certain self-impressed quarterback
literally ran across the Cain Hall
parking lot to avoid answering ques
tions about his pending early depar
ture from the school.
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. Or abo
OSL’ game.
Batiste almost wenttoOkb
State. But he said A&M'sfai
and its closeness to homeprovt
much for the Cowboys to cm
with.
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.
It will he the first timesincel
cruiting v isits that Batiste will
Stillwater. And he’s hoping
make a bigger impression on St
ter than it made on him.

about the season so far and is anx
ious to play a home game.
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.”
