CALL PAULL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 776-0400 Lady Ags, Red Raiders play tonight By Alan Lehmann Of The Battalion Staff The Texas A&M Lady Aggie vol leyball team will take on Texas Tech at 7:30 Thursday night in G. Rollie White Coliseum. A&M will be trying to avenge a loss earlier in the year to Tech in Lubbock 15-4, 15-6, 15-1 1. The Lady Aggies will be trying to improve their 2-5 Southwest Confer ence record, and their 10-14 record overall. The Red Raiders are 6-2 in SWC play and 16-10 overall. A&M beat Rice on Monday, avenging an earlier loss to the Owls and breaking a five-match losing streak. Amy Cumings led the team with 11 kills and two blocks, while Kelli Kellen chipped in eight kills and eight blocks. Tech is led by outside hitter Sa brina Zenon and middle blocker Lisa Clark. Zenon leads the Raiders with a .207 hitting percentage and is sec ond in kills with 234. Clark holds the team lead in kills with 243 and in blocks with 34 solo and 80 assists. A&M Coach A1 Givens said his team has looked good lately. “We’re playing as well as we can be,” Givens said. “I’ve been pleased with our blocking in our last two matches. “We’re playing with more confi dence than before, but I think we’ll have to have that same level of inten sity against Tech. I’d say we’re play ing well at home.” The Lady Aggies have only two home matches remaining after to night’s. They face Baylor Saturday night and Texas Tuesday night. TANK MFNAMAUA" • by Jeff Millar & BillHr T Carter banned from playoff AUSTIN (AP) — The University Interscholastic League on Wednesday affirmed a ruling banning Dal las Carter from the state schoolboy football playoffs. By a 6-1 vote, the UIL state executive committee upheld a District 11-5A committee’s Oct. 30 decision to ban the defending Class 5A state champions from the playoffs for knowingly playing an ineligible football player in its Oct. 13 game against Grand Prairie. The school also has been placed on probation for the 1990 season. The district committee based its ineligibility ruling on the fact that Carter was already on probation for a simi lar violation last year. “I am not angry. I am mad,” Dallas Independent School District Athletic Director John Kincaide said Wednesday after the state committee vote. Kincaide, who made Carter’s appeal on behalf of the Dallas school district, said, “I feel that we have been ripped off. We did not get a fair hearing. I see it as a designed plan to keep Dallas Carter out of the play offs.” Carter is the first UIL team to be disqualified from playoff competition since the Post High School girls team received a similar penalty three years ago for holding off-season practices. “If it were my decision to make, Carter would be in the state football playoffs,” Kincaide said. “They made their minds up before we ever came here. The kids have not been treated fairly. It’s a sad day.” Carter was first placed on probation for failing to re port a grade change by school principal Clarence Rus- seau during the 1988 school year. The gni was the basis for a lengthy court battle ben school and the UIL. While the dispute raged, Carter breezedtk playoffs and captured the Class 5A stale championship. After the UIL and Texas Education Agent/ William Kirby disqualified the team fromthes Carter appealed and Judge Paul Davis of Ar tually ruled in favor of Carter. Last season, senior defensive back Gan [ grade was changed by Russeau after a teacher: a failing algebra grade. This season, sophoir Michael Fuller was the target of the probation Fuller had a f ailing report card grade of61 first six weeks in algebra, but was transferre other class and received a grade change of Coach Freddie James allowed Fuller to plai Grand Prairie after the grade was changed. Fuller transferred to the new class with or left in the six .weeks and was absent foroneoi but was given an 85 by the new teacher, acco; school records presented at Wednesday’s hear; Charter defeated Grand Prairie 36-7, andcoa himself was placed on administrative leave* school district investigated whether he knew F ineligible under the state’s no-pass, no-playmit Under the rule, any student who makes less in a class on a report card during a six-weekgn riod is ineligible for extracurricular activities Sports Fashion (Continued from page 11) Cincinnati has got a really good concept going with the horizontal ti ger stripes across the helmet. Every one else thinks stripes on must go vertically across the center of the helmet. Wrong. I like this change, it’s a nice change. I think they’ve got a good thing here, but they got a bit carried away and continued to use the stripes around the shoulders AND down the legs. Too much. Their uniform is now working against them. Tampa Bay and the Raiders both have pirate-like mascots but, who will prevail but L.A. because they’ve got a good color scheme, a manly sort of black-and-silver uniform without the disco pants . The Broncos need help, too. They should use either the bronco mascot or the big “D” on the helmet. NOT both! The bronco is silly-looking try ing to be menacing in the middle of the “D.” Scary, huh? Bad color com binations abound when Denver plays New England. Maybe they shouldn’t allow certain teams to play each other because of the color-ini tiated headaches suffered by all. Another good idea shared by few teams is the use of the helmet to push the mascot idea further. Min nesota has horns on the sides to look like a viking hat. That’s kind of neat. The Rams have horns on their hel mets too, but those are curly ram horns and the contrasting blue and yellow makes them stick out more. Philadelphia Eagles have the same idea but with wings, however their green and silver colors are boring. Why, oh why, do the Dolphins have that ugly helmet with the jump ing dolphin on it? Good mascot, but you don’t stick a helmet on a sea mammal and think he looks good. Is that to protect him from boat pro pellers in the Keys? Perhaps the team to do the most with a bad mascot and poor colors is the Cleveland Browns. What’s a Brown? Doesn’t strike any kind of terror in my heart. They don’t have anything on their helmet, good choice. They could put a big “C” on, but then they’d look like Chicago, who, by the way, wins the award tor the best mascot and worst use of a mascot by ommission. The Steelers would be my number one choice for nice colors and use of color, but they lost points for only having one side of their helmet dec orated. It’s kind of strange, but there must be some reason for it. They have a good color combo with black and yellow, and anyone that would work at a steel mill is a good mascot for my team. I really like their pants. That’s where they win the big points. The yellow with thick black stripes down the sides is really nice and un pretentious. First place in my book goes to the Green Bay Packers. Yeah, they’ve got a silly mascot but, unlike New England, instead of sticking a “pack er” on a helmet hiking a football, they put a nice, big “G” on it. The bright yellow helmet and pants makes the team easy to follow in snow drifts, so common around the Great Lakes playing fields. Anyone who would want to play football in such a hellish winter ice-land de serves praise. So, if I haven’t mentioned your fa vorite team, check their uniforms. Are there too many stripes? Do they have shiny pants? Is their mascot a bird? Are they from New York? Teaff suspends play: WACO (AP) — Running back Lincoln Coleman, linebacker Mat thew Pearson, and defensive tackle Michael Dillard were suspended by Baylor coach Grant Teaft on Thurs day, the school announced.
