Commissioner OKs
resumption of Series
for Friday night in SF
MU won’t forget 95-21 spanking by UH
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The
World Series will not resume until
Friday night, three days later than
originally hoped, baseball commis
sioner Fay Vincent announced Sun
day.
Asked whether he had considered
calling off the Series, Vincent said,
“My judgement is that this commu
nity is better served by playing the
World Series. But we did consider
cancelling it.
“We did give it some thought,”
Vincent said.
“So did I,” Agnos added.
Vincent said the teams would not
play next Monday because, “Monday
hasn’t been a day the World Series
played.”
The reason for that, however, is
because baseball has not wanted to
get into a television competition with
Monday Night Football, although it
did happen in 1986, when rain
pushed back Game 7 between the
Boston Red Sox and New York
Mets.
ABC, which has television rights
to the World Series, also televises the
NFL’s Monday night package and is
scheduled to show the game between
the Minnesota Vikings and New
York Giants.
Vincent said the. chances of World
Series being cancelled or moved out
of the Bay area are “totally unlikely.”
“The people of San Francisco
waited 27 years for this World Se
ries, and what I think we’re doing is
giving them what they’ve waited
for,” Vincent said.
Games 3 and 4 and, if necessary.
Game 5, will be played over the
weekend at Candlestick Park. If
needed, Monday would be an off-
day and the Series could end in
Game 6 on Tuesday, Oct. 31, or
Game 7 on Wednesday, Nov. 1 in
the Oakland Coliseum. Oakland
leads the Series 2-0.
“We have agreed that baseball
should resume with enthusiasm this
coming week,” Vincent said in a joint
statement with San Francisco Mayor
Art Agnos. “But Tuesday was too
ambitious.”
The Series was interrupted last
Tuesday night when an earthquake
shook Candlestick Park 30 minutes
before the start of Game 3. Baseball
had hoped to resume this Tuesday,
but Vincent strongly said that the
Bay area’s priorities were much
more important than the World Se-
“For most San Franciscans, the
shock and the grief have just begun
to wear off,” Agnos said.
So now, this Series, which had al
ready been delayed by the longest
layoff ever, will go 11 days between
games.
All games will be played at their
original starting times.
HOUSTON (AP) — Southern
I Methodist players and coaches say
they won’t easily forget their 95-21
trouncing by the Houston Cougars
and vow to someday gain revenge.
“They claim they’re just explosive.
[Well, we’re not always going to be
like this,” SMU receiver Michael Bo
wen said. “Someday we’re going to
be the powerhouse and we’ll remem-
[ber every team that did this to us.”
What the Cougars did Saturday
I was set an NCAA record with 1,021
[yards of total offense.
Quarterback Andre Ware set
I three NCAA records in passing by
completing 25 of 41 for 517 yards in
the first half, garnering 340 yards
passing in the second quarter and
throwing five touchdown passes in
the second quarter. He also man
aged another touchdown pass in
first quarter.
By halftime, the run-and-shot
Cougars led 59-14. The second-and
third-team Cougars didn’t let up in
the second half.
“I don’t see any point in going for
the home run again and again like
they did in the second half,” SMU
Coach Forrest Gregg said. “I don’t
know who was responsible — the of
fensive coordinator, maybe — but I
don’t think it’s necessary, and I don’t
appreciate it. I don’t know why they
had to keep sending in fresh receiv
ers to blow by our kids who were ob
viously tired.’
In their first season since the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
imposed the death penalty on the
Mustangs football program two
years ago, 17 of SMU’s starters are
freshmen.
Houston Coach Jack Pardee, a
longtime friend of Gregg, said his
team was not trying to run up the
score.
“We’re not interested in rubbing it
in on anyone,” Pardee said. “Our
system is almost uncontrollable.”
“It’s a shame to have to work with
freshmen and redshirt freshmen in
a game like that. That’s not what col
lege football is about. If I had a
choice, I wouldn’t have gotten 1,000
yards. I didn’t want that or 100
points. We want to win games. We’re
not trying to intentionally rub it in.”
Ware said the high scoring could
have been against any team.
“It could’vei happened before.
This team, this offense is capable of
those kinds of numbers. We just exe
cuted well.”
Tre Giller, an SMU offensive line
man who also played for the Univer
sity of Oklahoma which is known for
its high-scoring ways, said, “I don’t
think even Oklahoma would do
something like this, in fact, I’m sure
they wouldn’t. It didn’t show much
class to run up the score on a bunch
of freshmen.”
Celtics edge out Rockets
HOUSTON (AP) — Kevin Mc-
Hale scored 22 points and Larry
Bird scored 21 to lead the Boston
Celtics to a 109-100 victory over
the Houston Rockets in an NBA
exhibition game here Sunday
night.
Joe Klcine had 11 points and
16 rebounds for Boston, includ
ing 3 points in the final two min
utes.
Lewis Lloyd led Houston with
16 points, followed by Tim Mc
Cormick with 15, Mitchell Wig
gins with 14 and Otis Thorpe and
Sleepy Floyd, with 13 each.
With Boston leading 102-98
and two minutes left, a basket by
Kleine gave the Celtics a 6-point
lead. After a Houston basket,
Kleine added a free throw to put
the Celtics up 105-100 with 1:04
left.
A basket by Bird and two free
throws by McHale secured the
Boston victory.
Boston is 5-0 in exhibition play.
Houston is 2-3.
