The 1988 defending national champion Texas Lady Long horns swept A&M 15-13, 15-4, 16-14. The Lady Ags looked like con ference contenders in the first game as they gave the Lady Horns a fight. The game was tied 13-13 before Texas scored won on a kill and an ace. After dropping the second game, the Lady Ags jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the third game. However, they couldn’t hold on. A&M was led by Krista Hier- holzer, who had 15 kills, and Kelli Kellen, who had 14. Hierholzer and senior setter Yvonne Van Brandt had 13 digs each to pace the Lady Aggies on defense. Janine Gremmel led the Lady Horns defense with 13 digs, and Missy Kurt had 12. Freshman Er- rica Hibben contributed 8 blocks. A&M Coach A1 Givens found some good points in the match. “There were some aspects that I was pleased with,” Givens said. “One area we’ve been trying to strengthen is our blocking. We were able to do some optioning, and stop what was happening across the net. Givens said that playing in Austin was distracting. “It’s tough to play here,” he said. “I think we were capable of playing better. We lost our focus and concentration in the second game, but came back in the third game.” TANK MCNAMARA by Jeff Millar & Bill Hind IS* A £OXiM<3 MlGl-fuGH'T &ROVAJ LIK& YOU UK£ IT: 1C?

The Oakland Athletics sure hope so. The A’s won eight of nine exhibition meetings with San Francisco last spring, and outscored the Giants 65- 32, averaging 7.2 runs to the Giants’ 3.6. The Athletics and Giants played a Bay Bridge Series in the last three games of the exhibition season, and Oakland swept. Starting Saturday night, the Giants and A’s will play another Bay Bridge Series, this time for the world championship. Oakland center fielder Dave Henderson had a par ticularly easy time with San Francisco pitching last spring. Henderson was 12-for-23 (.522) with eight RBIs and two homers. “People aren’t the same as they are in spring training. But if there’s any team in the National League we knov it’s the Giants,” said reliever Dennis Eckersley, who al lowed one run and four hits in five innings against the Giants. One of the A’s best hitters against the Giants spring is no longer with the team. Luis Polonia was 13-for-33 with seven runs scored He had three hits when the A’s routed the Giants 20-/, But Polonia was traded on June 20 along withCrej Cadaret and Eric Plunk for Rickey Henderson. “I grew up out here and this is Giant country, Eckersley said, “so it’s going to be a little tough on us.” During the spring, the A’s held Will Clark to seven hits in 29 at-bats, but Kevin Mitchell was 12-for-23 (.522) with three homers and five RBIs. Last Year (Continued from page 11) every play. Darren Lewis scored on a 29-yard pitchout in the third quarter, and a successful two-point attempt put the Aggies up 15-9. Six minutes later, a Robert Wilson dive up the middle and another successful two-point at tempt seemed to put the game out of reach 23-9. But that’s the problem with UH and its Run-and-Shoot offense. They’ll score some more. UH marched 80 yards to close the game to 23-16 with four minutes left in the game. But Lewis, as he had done so often in 1988, broke loose on a 26-yard run to finish the Cou gars, 30-16. But that was last year. A&M isn’t blessed with the pass rushers that they were in 1988. Senior Jeroy Rob inson, a starting inside linebacker this season, played exclusively at noseguard last year to try to disrupt the UH pass protection. But UH has been consistent on of fense and defense this season while A&M has been its direct opposite. Junior quarterback Lance Pavlas still is trying to perfect the Aggies’ new pass-oriented attack this year, and the defense started the season young and inexperienced. Now they’re just young. more dramatic in 1989. Last yen average score for the Cougars 41-17. This season, it’s been594 The reason for that is the emti genr#* r»f Ware. Now a Heismanln phy candidate, Ware is averapi; 455 yards per game passing. Heb yet to play in the fourth quarter: 1989 because UH’s games are solj out of reach by then. “They’re a lot better than year,” Robinson said. “Ware is ing an All-American year. Theylou real good. All the points and yatl age they have is for a reason: Aran Ware. His game’s gotten a lot ben than last year.” The A&M defense has spent week reviewing films of the Coup juggernaut and working hard TONIGHT Pardee (Continued from page 11) “Band With No Sleep” From 9 PM-1 AM DRINK SPECIALS ALL NIGHT 1601 SO. TEXAS AVENUE IN CULPEPPER PLAZA FULL SERVICE SPIRTS BAR 4 Satelite TVs his role there and ventured into the newly formed World Football League. During its first season as an ex pansion team, Pardeee led the Flor ida Blazers to the Eastern Division Championship and a berth in the WFL’s championship game. After the WFL folded in 1975, Pardee returned to the NFL and led the Chicago Bears to their first play off berth in 12 years and was named NFC Coach of the Year. In 1978, Pardee returned to the Washington Redskins. He spent three years as the Redskins’ head coach and in 1979 took them to the NFC playoffs and was named the NFL Coach of the Year. Pardee left football in 1981 to serve as the vice-president for mar keting with the Runnels Mud Com pany. His position there lasted only until the United States Football League formed in 1983. Once in the USFL, Pardee as head coach led both the New Jersey Gen erals and the Houston Gamblers to division titles. After the USFL disbanded in early 1987, Pardee took over the troubled reins of the Houston Cou- We need a lot of pass pressure. We need to hit the receivers a lot of times. Hard.” — Patrick Henry A&M noseguar gars. Since bringing the Run-and-Shoot to Houston, the Cougars have posted more than 100 school re cords. Their high-powered offense ranked fourth nationally in 1988 and the 1989 Cougars would be strong contenders for the SWC title if they weren’t on NCAA probation. Pardee finds his role as a college coach enjoyable and rewarding. “You get a chance to see 18-year- old athletes mature,” Pardee said. “They come in boys, away from home for the first time and I get to see them leave as responsible adults. “It’s self-gratifying to feel like you’ve had a little part in instilling that maturity.” Two of A&M’s starting defensive linemen, Patrick Henry and Kevin Tucker, are freshmen. Henry, fourth in team tackles so far this sea son, summed up the basic approach A&M must take on defense this weekend. “We need a lot of pass pressure,” Henry said. “We need to hit the re ceivers a lot of times. Hard.” Still, A&M now faces the possibil ity of being blown out at home for the first time in several years. How ever, Robinson said the Aggies will be prepared. “They’ve embarrassed a lot of people,” he said. “They’ve scored a lot of points. But it’s not like they’re going to come in and catch us by sur prise because we know what they can do. They have the same offense going as last year.” It may be the same offensive scheme, but the results have been far practice. For Robinson and teai mates, it’s been a strict regimen week of blitzing, blitzing and blitzing. “We just look at this as a chantti establish ourselves again,” he at “It’s going to be fun for us. It’sa week for us defensively because just go out and play. Ifslikestre ball.” But A&M will need more a dominating defense if it is reproduce a win over Pardee’s Rm and-Shoot. The offense will have keep the ball. That might be Mj to do against a defense that is ing opponents an average of onh yards per play in 1989. No one knows if the Aggies reproduce the formula against that worked so well last year. Sloff said the Aggies will have to play most error-free football to Saturday.
