Thomas
humbled
by honor
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M track coach Charlie
Thomas, whose 31-year tenure at
A&M is the second longest of any
Southwest Conference coach in any
sport, will be inducted into the pres
tigious Drake Relays Coaches Hall of
Fame Thursday.
“It’s quite humbling to be honored
by your peers at such a class event as
the Drake Relays,” Thomas said.
“We’ve been going to the Drake Re
lays every year for as long as I can
remember and it’s always been one
of the highlights of the season. This
honor is something I’ll always be
proud of and will always treasure.”
In his career at A&M, Thomas has
coached eight Olympic athletes and
six world record holders.
The Hall of Fame, which was es
tablished in 1977, includes such past
coaches as Knute Rockne of Notre
Dame and Clyde Littlefield of
Texas, whose 40-year coaching ten
ure is the longest of any SWC coach.
Joining Thomas as 1989 inductees
will be Baylor’s Clyde Hart and the
late Frank Sevigne, the former track
coach of Nebraska.
They will be honored at a banquet
Thursday and also during the Fri
day afternoon session of the Drake
Relays in Iowa.
Five high school and junior col
lege track athletes signed national
letters-of-intent Wednesday to at
tend A&M, including three women
and two men.
Thrower Dwight Johnson of Cen
tral Arizona Junior College, a 6-1,
230-pounder from Tempe, Ariz., is
a JUCO All-America in the javelin,
discus and shotput.
Distance runner Steve Davis of
Cypress Creek High School, a 6-1,
140-pounder from Houston, is a
two-time district champion in cross
country and the 1600-meter run. He
won the district title last year in the
3200-meter run.
Johnson’s and Davis’ signings
bring the total number of A&M men
signees to five. Sprinters Gregory
Williams and Derick Thomas of
Southwest Christian JC and shotput-
ter Steve Collier of Blinn JC all
signed earlier this month.
The three women signees —
sprinter Franchette Holmes of Mo
bile, Ala., sprinter Michelle Williams
of Bronx, N.Y., and heptathlete Kal-
leen Madden of Yoakum — are the
first Lady Aggie signees of the sea
son.
Holmes, a transfer from Florida
State, ran on the Lady Seminoles’
national champion 400-meter relay
team in 1987.
Williams is a member of the Ja
maican national team and was highly
recruited by Texas, LSU, Alabama
and Southern California.
“Michelle is a great prospect who
will help us tremendously in the re
lays and the sprints,” he said. “She
should be a top scorer for us at con
ference and at nationals.”
Thomas said Madden, who has a
K ersonal best of 4,555 points in the
eptathlon and has leaped 5-8 in the
high jump, is one of the top female
track prospects in Texas. He said she
should be a top contender in the
heptathlon as a freshman.
Pelluer might leave Cowboys
IRVING (AP) — Quarterback
Steve Pelluer, who doesn’t have a
contract, refused to show for the
Dallas Cowboys’ mini-camp on
Wednesday and Coach Jimmy John
son considered trading him.
“I want positive people who are
willing to put it on the line 100 per
cent for the Cowboys,” Johnson said.
“If not, we’ll have someone else in
the position.”
Troy Aikman, the former UCLA
quarterback who recently signed a
six-year contract for $11,037 mil
lion, was in camp and took a ribbing
from some of the veteran players
about his salary.
“I didn’t mind the jokes,” Aikman
said. “It’s a fun thing to be kidded
about.”
Pelluer said he didn’t miss camp
because of Aikman’s salary.
“I don’t want to be treated as a
back-up the rest of my career,” Pel
luer said. “Maybe I’ll have to ask to
be traded.”
Pelluer played out his five-year
contract last season. He was making
$600,000.
Johnson said he had talked to Pel
luer and would do so again but em
phasized, “The people in my plans
are the ones who work in training
camp. There are no starters right
now. That has to be earned.
“I think Steve will be a productive
player with the Cowboys if we get
things worked out. We’ll take into
consideration his feelings and try to
resolve things. What’s going to hap
pen would be difficult to predict.”
Offensive guard Crawford Ker,
who doesn’t nave a contract, also
missed the start of three days of
workouts.
“We ll talk to Ker’s agent and see
what we can get workect out,” John
son said.
There were more rumblings in
the Cowboys’ front office as new
owner Jerry Jones continued his sha
keout. Treasurer Don Wilson, who
had been with the team since 1971,
was fired in a one paragraph letter.
“I was kind of surprised,” said
Wilson. “That’s the way it goes
around here.”
Also, Joe Bailey, who had been
former club president Tex
Schramm’s right hand man for 17
years, announced he was leaving the
team to join Schramm with the In
ternational Football League.
Bailey had negotiated the club’s
contracts, a task now taken over by
Jones.
“The opportunity with the nett
league was difficult to pass up.’ Bai
ley said. “It has an exciting futureto
it.”
There was little resentment
among the veteran players over Ail-
man's contract.
“That’s good foi him,” said run
ning back Herschel Walker, who it
on the fourth year of a five year con
tract at about $1 million per season.
“I’m not going to try to renegotiate
now. Herschel W’alker signed a con
tract because he was happvandno-
Ixidy twisted my arm. If I'm un
happy then it’s my fault that I made
a bad deal. This is business."
Aikman, who was busy learning
Johnson’s playbook and making
friends, said, “I’m being kidded
about the money but it hasn’t hit me
yet that I’m rich.”
Linebacker Jef f Rohrer predicted
that Pelluer is gone.
“I think we’ll trade him and I be
lieve he wants to go,” Rohm said.
“We’ll probably get a good playerfor
him, too.”
K.er was asking $400,000 for nest
year and a new car.
“Crawford needs to get to camp,
Johnson said.
Legends pair goes for 3rd straight
AUSTIN (AP) — Defending
champions Orville Moody and
Bruce Crampton hope to do some
thing no one else has in the tourna
ment that helped start the Senior
PGA Tour — become the first team
to win three straight Legends of Golf
titles.
Moody, the 1969 US. Open
champion, and his Australian part
ner won the 1987 tournament by
four strokes after shooting a course
record 59 on Saturday. Last year,
they needed six playoff holes to edge
Tommy Aaron and Lou Graham.
“To win it once, the odds are
slim,” Crampton said. “To win it the
second time, they’re slimmer. The
third time, it’s reduced again. But I
want you to know there’s a way to do
it and we’re going to do it.”
Gene Littler and Don January,
who will be paired together again in
this year's better ball tournament,
are the only three-time Legends win
ners. Littler won in 1981 teamed
with Bob Rosburg, and in 1985 and
1986 with January. January’s first
win came in 1982, while paired with
Sam Snead.
Players will split a total of
$650,000 in the 12th Legends tour
nament that begins Thursday, with
$500,000 for the regular voutra-
merit and $150,000 in the Legend
ary Champions division for plavers
over 60.
Among other teams slated foi the
regular division in the tournameni
are Arnold Palmer and .\filler Bar-
her; Dow Finsterwald and oneofthe
Senior Four’s hottest plavers, Don
Bies; Lee Elder and Chi Chi Rodri
guez, Billy Casper and Gay Brewer,
plus Aaron and Graham.
Besides Bies, the other first-time
Legends invitee is Larry Mown,
who will be paired with Doug Sand
ers.
NBA teams start trek for 1989 title tonight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After playing 1,025 games to
eliminate only a third of its teams,
the NBA begins its playoffs Thurs
day night with a team that finished
four games under .500 playing the
defending champion.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who
were 39-43 and lost all five regular
season games to the Los Angeles
Lakers, will open the series at the Fo
rum in Inglewood, Calif., as the
Lakers launch their bid for a third
straight title.
“This is the year you can get beat
in any round,” Magic Johnson of the
Lakers said. “We realize that. What
ever happens, we’ve just got to deal
with it. We’re ready.”
Rick Adelman, coach of the Trail
Blazers, said the series is not the mis
match it appears to be.
“We don’t want to let them get a
quick start on us,” Adelman said.
“We’ve played them even during the
second half of most of the games,
but they’ve gotten a big jump on us
in the first half.”
In other games Thursday night,
Philadelphia is at New York, Mil
waukee at Atlanta and Golden State
at Utah.
Four more series open Friday
when Chicago is at Cleveland, Bos
ton at Detroit, Houston at Seattle,
and Denver at Phoenix.
In a series that’s rated close,
Charles Barkley of the 76ers said he
would rather not have to play the
New York Knicks.
“If I had my choice, I’d start the
playoffs against Miami, and then
maybe take the Clippers in the sec
ond round,” he said. “But we’ll take
the Knicks. I’m not saying we will
beat them; I’m saying that we can
beat them.”
New York won the Atlantic Divi
sion by six games over the second-
place 76ers, but the Knicks struggled
to a 5-5 record in April and in one
stretch lost five of eight games at
Madison Square Garden, including
two losses to Philadelphia.
“We’ve got to play the way we’re
capable of playing and we’ll be fine,’
Mark Jackson of the Knicks said.
“We’re going into the playoffs very
confident. But believe me, we won’t
take the Sixers lightly.”
Utah coach Jerry Sloan said his
team was ready for Golden State.
“I don’t fear them — 1 respect
them,” he said. “I have a great deal
of respect for Golden State and I
want our players to respect them.”
Atlanta beat Milwaukee in all six
of its meetings during the season.
“I don’t think we’re overly cocky
because of it,” Dominique Wilkinsof
the Hawks said. “We understand
what we have to do, but I don’t think
it’s a disadvantage.”
SWC
(Continued from page 7)
week after an eight-week stay, can’t
afford to look ahead to the Arkansas
series.
The third-ranked Aggies have to
travel to Houston to play the Cou
gars this weekend.
Without a doubt, offense is the
reason A&M has its second-highest
total of victories for a season behind
last year’s total of 52.
A&M boasts five of the top 10 hit
ters in conference play as well as
four of the top 10 in overall action.
For the season, including non
conference play, Aggie John Bying-
ton leads the SWC in hitting with a
.433 batting average. Kirk Thomp
son (.395), Chuck Knoblauch (.392)
and Andy Duke (.367) are other Ag
gies among the leaders.
In SWC play, Mike Easley (.415)
joins Byington (.403), Thompson
(.397), Terry Taylor (.367 with five
SWC home runs) and Knoblauch
(.364) in the top five.

Cougars also were swept by the Ra-
zorbacks earlier this season. How
ever, that was in Arkansas. The Ag
gies will be the first contender to
play the Cougars at Cougar Field
where Houston is 35-2 this season.
Junior first baseman Fred Hino
josa is the player to watch for Hous
ton. He’s batting .385 in SWC play
with four home runs and 15 RBIs.
He’s closing in on three Houston ca
reer records: RBIs, games played
and hits.
Hinojosa needs only four RBIs to
tie the career mark of 112, 10 games
to tie the existing mark of 173 and
seven hits to tie the record of 172.
Houston is trying to hold off Bay
lor and Texas Tech for fourth place
in the league and the last spot in the
SWC Post-Season Tournament.
Baylor (32-16, 7-11) finishes its
SWC season this weekend by hosting
TCU. The Bears have slumped after
a good start in conference play. A
good series this weekend would vir
tually assure them of the final tour
ney berth. If they slip, Tech maybe
there to overtake them.
Tech (28-20, 5-10) has rebounded
from an 0-9 SWC start to win five of
their last six behind the hitting of
David Harris. Harris is hitting .341
in SWC action while Greg Koba
(.369) has supplied power with nine
round trippers and 44 RBIs for the
season.
TCU (29-20, 3-12), with its sea-
son-ending trip to Texas looming
appears to have little chance of mak
ing the tourney. Rice (28-27,4-14)6
the only team mathematically elimi
nated for the tournament.
The Post-Season Tournament, to
be held May 17-19 at Olsen Field
will feature the league’s top lout
teams in a battle for an NCAA tour
nament berth.
