Red Raiders’ Gray looking
for big game vs Aggies
* By Alan Lehmann
Of The Battalion Staff

INTERNATIONAL
776-0400
After starting the season like a
rocket, James Gray has fizzled.
The Texas Tech I-back began the
season with a 234-yard perfor
mance, but hasn’t broken the 100-
yard mark in his three games since.
It’s not that he hasn’t been trying
— the problem is that he hurt his
shoulder in the second game of the
season.
Since that game against New Mex
ico, Gray has played sparingly.
However, he was healthy enough
to gain 78 yards on 15 carries in last
week’s loss to Baylor.
Still, Gray wasn’t happy resting on
the sidelines while he was hurt.
“I am very dissapointed about the
Baylor game,” Gray said. “I felt like I
should have played more of the
game.”
Gray said his shoulder is 100 per
cent healthy for this weekend’s mat
chup with the 19th-ranked Aggies in
Lubbock.
He said likes the Red Raiders’
chances of upsetting A&M.
yards last season, and is comfortable
catching the ball coming out of the
backfield.
“I like to catch the ball,” he said.
“If we can move the ball through the
air, that’s fine with me.”
Although the 5-feet-10, 200-
pound I-back has the size to be a
power runner, Gray sees himself as a
finesse runner.
“I’m more of an elusive runner
than a power runner,” Gray said. “If
I can gain yardage without a lot of
contact, then I will. But, if it’s third
and short, I feel like I’ll get the yard
age.”
Gray already has eclipsed the
Tech career rushing mark of 2,794
yards, formerly held by James Had-
not (1976-79). However, he sees his
team’s goals as more important than
his own.
“It’s a great accomplishment, but
hopefully things won’t stop there,”
he said. “I think we have the kind of
team to finish right at the top of the
conference, and perhaps win it, if we
just go out and take care of busi
ness.”
Gray serves as a co-captain for the
second consecutive year. He’s the
We know that our backs are against the wall. To
contend for the conference title, we’ve got to beat
A&M.”
— James Gray,
Texas Tech running back
“I feel confident, we had a good
practice this week,” Gray said. “We
know that our backs are against the
wall. To contend for the conference
title, we’ve got to beat A&M.”
However, Gray, a senior physical
education major from Fort Worth
Trimble Tech, knows doing that
won’t be easy.
One of the Raiders’ biggest prob
lems this season has been that
they’ve often stopped themselves
with turnovers, Gray said.
“A&M has a great defense, proba
bly the best in the conference,” he
said. “We need to cut down on our
turnovers. We certainly can’t have
turnovers against a team like A&M
and expect to win.”
Through four games this season,
the Red Raiders have turned the ball
over 12 times. However, A&M has
only three turnovers in their four
games.
Tech has lived by the ground
game this season. Unfortunately for
the Red Raiders, the A&M defense
has specialized in squashing its oppo
nents’ rushing attack.
“A&M has had great run de
fense,” Gray said. “We’ll just have to
take what they give us. As long as we
win — I guess that’s the most impor
tant thing.”
If the Red Raiders are forced to
go to the air, he probably will be a
target of Tech quarterback Jamie
Gill.
Gray caught 27 passes for 351
first player to do so since 1960, when
Tech entered the SWC. He said he’s
comfortable with the role of leader.
“Being a captain, I feel responsibi
lity to be a leader,” Gray said. “I just
give my best, and hopefully, it’ll rub
off on the other guys. If we’re hav
ing a bad practice, then I try to pick
everybody up.”
Although this year’s Tech team
was picked to finish near the bottom
of the SWC, the Raiders are 3-1, and
have beaten Arizona and Oklahoma
State.
Still, Gray said the Raiders feel the
loss of strong-armed quarterback
Billy Joe Tolliver, now the rookie
backup to the San Diego Chargers’
Jim McMahon.
“We miss him quite a bit,” Gray
said. “We don’t have the deep threat
this year. We miss his experience at
quarterback.”
Gray said that 1989’s Tech team
differs from last year’s.
“I think that this year’s team has
more unity,” Gray said. “We don’t
have as much talent as last year.”
Because he hasn’t gotten much
national exposure, Gray wasn’t con
sidered to be a Heisman Trophy
candidate during the preseason.
Since his shoulder injury, Gray
said his chances of winning the
award are all but gone.
“I’ll have to do some extraordi
nary things to even be a candidate,”
he said.
“That’s in the back of my mind.”
Despite DWI, Gervin
seeks return to NBA
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — After
pleading no contest to a driving
while intoxicated charge, former
San Antonio Spurs star George Ger
vin says he hopes to make an NBA
comeback this year.
Gervin was sentenced to 45 days
in jail Tuesday. However, County
Court-at-Law Judge Tony Ferro
placed him on probation for one
year, meaning Gervin will not have
to serve jail time.
The former pro basketball stand
out also was fined $250 and ordered
to pay a $30 per month probation
fee.
The sentence was part of a plea
bargain agreement under which the
Bexar County District Attorney’s of
fice dropped a misdemeanor mari
juana possession charge.
Police arrested Gervin Aug. 8 in
San Antonio. Officers said they
found less than a quarter of a gram
of marijuana in his car.
Defense attorney Ben Walker said
he thought the case could be won be
fore a jury.
But Gervin’s publicist, Jerry Bari-
sano, said a trial would have taken
time that Gervin could spend pursu
ing a career comeback.
“I intend to play with the NBA
somewhere this year,” C^ervin told
the San Antonio Express-News in its
Wednesday editions. “That’s my
dream, to play, back with the Spurs.”
“I’m glad this is all behind,” Ger
vin told reporters. “I’m going back
to my program, to continue working
out, hopefully to be ready to play
some basketball.”
Although Gervin said the Milwau
kee Bucks and Houston Rockets are
interested in him, he prefers the
Spurs.
He said he is hoping to meet with
Spurs owner Red McCombs Soon to
discuss the matter.
