Jeers.
“You’re ready to see him in San An-

HThey have an image like the Dallas

[Most fans around here don’t like ’em

rings like “They always win,” and “La-

games they ever played, A&M defeated
Baylor 19-13.
Capping a spotless 6-0 SWC record
(the last time A&M has gone undefeated
in conference play) A&M defeated
Texas 34-21 in its first win ever in Me
morial Stadium.
After taking an early 21-0 lead, Bry
ant pulled his starters in the second quar
ter after which Texas, led by quarterback
Joe Clements, rallied for two touch
downs.
Pardee ended any Longhorn hope of a
comeback by taking the second-half
kickoff 97 yards to the Texas 2 where
Clements tackled him.
“I told him in the huddle that he
should have let me have the ball and 1
would have scored,” Crow said
Wednesday. ”1 probably wouldn’t have,
but Jack was breathing hard when he got
back to the huddle.”
A&M scored the game-breaking
touchdown, winning what Crow called
“likely the biggest win of our careers for
most of the guys on our team.
Pardee looks forward to playing the
Aggies, saying that “You don’t ever
want to be embarrassed in front of your
friends — and I have lots of Aggie
friends.”

Robinson, who signed a reported $26
million, eight-year contract, is com
mitted to the Navy through next summer
and previously has said he would not ask
the Navy for an early release.
Spurs owner B.J. “Red” McCombs
and Assistant to the Owner Bob Bass
said they hoped Robinson would be re
leased after the Olympics.
“We certainly hope it comes true and
he gets here, ...” Bass said, “but right
now we’re not familiar with the whole
situation.”
down to are that the Dodgers are in first
place again and that people are sick of it.
And their fans. They look like they
came straight to the game from the bal
let. Only in L.A.
Frankly, I don’t know how the Dodg
ers win so many pennants. They don’t
have any of the big names they used to
win with.
Guys like Steve Garvey are gone.
Even Pedro Guerrero is out of Dodger
blue, and Fernando Valenzuela is out for
the year.
Still they win.
For Astro fans, it’s not a lot to choose
from.
But Astro fans can’t be in the choosy
market right now, either.
