Bosworth deserves it
SPORTS EDITOR:
In response to the Bosworth and Oklahoma
fan letter writen by Sixto Ortiz, I would like to
defend Cray Pixley’s No. 3 item on her list of
sports gripes.
Although Mr. Bosworth may have made
only a “few mistakes” while at OU, Pixley’s
dislike of the Boz is probably a result of his
egotistical attitude.
There used tp be a day when the Roger
Stuabachs of fodtball went out on Sundays,
performed their job well, and demanded
nothing more than respect. Nowadays, all we
have is an array of talented prima donnas who
work hard at attracting attention and even
harder at turning that attentio into a profit.
The only positive thing the Boz has
accomplished is a big plus in his pocketbook.
As to the negative rating of OU, Pixley was
probably referring to its football program.
Suffice it to say that any team that plays two
decent teams a year and packs the rest of its
schedule with the Southwest Conference’s Rice
Owls is spineless with a capital “S.”
Tony Rodriquez ‘90

angers seeking Mattingly
in 10-player trade package

coring on the fin:
ALLAS (AP) — Last year, in what
|ras considered an off season, New York
Yankees star first baseman Don Mat-
tingly batted .311, hit 25 home runs and
Have in 107 runs. Down the road a bit in
Hlington, where the Texas Rangers play
! ball, that’s no off season.
■Published reports say trade talks be-
j|ween the Rangers and Yankees appear
to have escalated to the point of a pro-
i'posed deal including Mattingly.
HMattingly’s appeal to the Rangers, a
jteam that ranked 12th in runs scored last
Bar, is obvious. At 26, he has averaged
29 home runs and 118 RBI over the past
| fij/e seasons.
Rangers General Manager Tom
Grieve told the Dallas Times Herald
thing is concrete, but said he’s encour-
ed by recent talks with general man-
ers, and hopes to be active in the trade
Jarket before next month’s annual win
ter meetings.
■ “I'd love to go to the winter meetings
: with something already done,” Grieve
Bid. “That is almost a magical date for
[Y..,
jresen-
making things happen, but we would like
to do something before that.”
When Yankees owner George Stein-
brenner said during the summer he
would consider trading the first base-
man, Grieve and manager Bobby Valen
tine expressed interest.
Since then, Mattingly has been told by
manager Dallas Green he will not be
traded, but The New York Times re
ported Sunday the Yankees had recently
listened to some proposals involving the
slugger.
The Times said the strongest of those
proposals was a 10-player package that
would send Mattingly, third baseman
Mike Pagliarulo and infielder Bobby
Meacham to Texas for first baseman Pete
O’Brien, third baseman Steve Buechele,
pitchers Jose Guzman and Mitch Wil
liams as well as three unnamed Rangers.
Grieve neither confirmed nor denied
the report, sticking with his policy of not
discussing specific trade proposals.
“We’ve had talks with a lot of
teams,” he said. “We are looking at any
way we can find to improve. That is
what we have been doing, and what we
will continue to do.”
Pagliarulo, 28, is coming off a season
in which his home run total and batting
average dropped from 32 and .234 to 15
and .216. Meacham, who batted .217 in
47 games with New York last season,
would be insurance against the Rangers
losing shortstop Scott Fletcher to free
agency.
Grieve said he considers the uncer
tainty of Fletcher’s situation in his off
season plans.
In other trade talk, The Times reported
the teams had discussed a swap of pitch
ers Charlie Hough and Rick Rhoden.
Grieve apparently would only se
riously consider that deal if the Yankees
included other players. Hough leads
Rhoden over the past seven seasons in
victories and in innings pitched.
A’s hitting coach Lefebre named
as manager for last-placed Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners on Monday
amed Jim Lefebvre, hitting instructor and third base coach
for the Oakland Athletics, as their new manager.
I “Jim was our No. 1 choice to manage the Mariners because
he’s a winner,” said Woody Woodward, the Mariners’ vice
president for baseball operations.
He said, “Jim’s background as a major league player, as an
bstructor, as an AAA manager and as a major league coach
[tows sucess in all his endeavors.”
Lefebvre, 46, said the Mariners, last in the American
eague West this season, “have a chance to do some exciting
[lings.
“It’s going to take a little time, but I’m ready.”
Lefebvre’s professional baseball career spans 26 years in
cluding being named National League Rookie of the Year in
1965 while playing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He began his professional coaching and managing career in
1978 with the Dodgers and moved to the San Francisco Gi
ants’ organization in 1980.
While with the Giants, Lefebvre managed the team’s AAA
Phoenix club, winning the Pacific Coast League title in 1985
and reached the championship series in 1986.
In 1987, he joined the Athletics as a hitting instructor and
third base coach.

Colorado hits
No. 19 spot
in AP poll
Associated Press
Colorado’s football team is back in the
Top Twenty for the first time in 10 years.
But the stay could be a short one.
The Buffaloes, ranked 19th in this
week’s Associated Press poll, visit No. 7
Nebraska Saturday. Colorado, coming
off a 45-8 victory over Missouri, has lost
19 of its last 20 games against the Corn-
huskers.
“The game we have this weekend will
determine if we can stay in,” said Colo
rado Coach Bill McCartney, whose team
is 7-2. “But in the meantime, it’s great
to be ranked. It means a lot for the pro
gram.”
Washington State, 6-3 following a 24-
21 win over Stanford, returned to the
Top Twenty after a seven-year absence.
“For us to be ranked No. 20 is good
recognition for the job we’ve done,”
Washington State Coach Dennis Erick
son said. “It’s a very good thing for our
program.”
While Colorado and Washington State
moved into the Second Ten, there were
no changes in the Top Ten.
Notre Dame remained No. 1 with a
54-11 victory over winless Rice, receiv
ing 42 of 59 first-place votes and 1,160
of a possible 1,180 points from a nation
wide panel of sports writers and sports-
casters.
Second-ranked Southern California,
which trounced California 35-3, gained
some ground on the Irish. The Trojans,
who host Notre Dame on Nov. 26, re
ceived 15 first-place votes and 1,122
points.
Last week, with 58 members of the
60-man panel participating, Notre Dame
led 44-11 in first-place ballots and
1,144-1,097 in points.
Third-ranked Miami and No. 4 West
Virginia each received one first-place
vote. The Hurricanes, who beat Tulsa
34-3, had 1,065 points while the Moun
taineers, who routed Cincinnati 51-13,
had 979.
Rounding out the Top Ten are Florida
State, UCLA, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Au
burn and Wyoming.
Florida State, which blasted South
Carolina 59-0, received 933 points.
UCLA, a 16-6 winner over Oregon,
received 864 points; Nebraska, which
defeated Iowa State 51-16, had 840; Ok
lahoma, which edged Oklahoma State
31-28, received 752; Auburn, which
downed Southern Mississippi 38-8, had
719; and Wyoming, which crushed
Texas-El Paso 51-6, received 665.
The Second Ten consists of Arkansas,
LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Syra
cuse, Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Col
orado and Washington State.
Last week, it was Arkansas, Okla
homa State, LSU, Michigan, South Car
olina, Syracuse, Clemson, Alabama and
Georgia, with Brigham Young and In
diana tied for 20th.
