The 46-year-old Hatfield com
piled a 55-17-1 record at Arkansas,
guiding the Razorbacks to six bowl
appearances in as many years. His
bowl record at Arkansas, however,
was 1-5, including Cotton Bowl
losses to Tennessee (31-27 in 1990)
and UCLA (17-3 in 1989).

The choice of Hatfield, who had a
27-31-1 record as the head coach at
Air Force from 1979-83, could have
created more controversy. But after
Hatfield met Sunday with the play
ers, the threatened boycott for the
1990 season was called off. On Sat
urday, players said that if Ford was
not reinstated or an assistant wasn’t
promoted, they would sit out next
season.
“We decided as a team in dedica
tion to all of our assistant coaches
and Coach Ford, the best thing for
us and our future would be to recon
sider playing for the upcoming foot
ball season,” team spokesman Stacy
Fields, a tight end, said. “We’re not
100 percent satisfied, but we felt a
little better knowing that everyone
out there knows we did our best to
get what we wanted.
“However, we have a new head
coach, and he’s not within the staff
that was here before.”
Defensive back Dexter Davis said
some players had already made up
their minds with the hiring of Hat
field.
“Some people are ready to trans
fer,” Davis said. “Others don’t know
what they’re going to do. We’re not
happy. That’s the bottom line.”
Hatfield met with the team for
about 10 minutes before Sunday’s
news conference to announce his
hiring, but would not comment on
what was discussed.
Ware may change mind,
skip senior UH season
Heisman Trophy winner says
there’s ‘always a possibility’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Heis
man Trophy winner Andre Ware
says he may change his mind and
skip his senior season at Houston
to join the NFL.
Ware, who holds 26 NCAA
passing and total offense records,
has repeatedly stated that he
would return to Houston next
season. But he appeared to soften
his stance Saturday night in re
marks made prior to an awards
banquet.
“There’s always the possibility
of things changing,” he said. “If I
explore some things and find out
that it’s better for myself to come
out this year than next, it’s cer
tainly a possibility that I will.”
However, Ware said he would
return to school if he had to make
a decision right now.
“A lot has transpired over the
past two weeks, but right now I
have every intention of going
back to school,” he said. “If I want
to pursue other things, that’s
something I can certainly do
when the time comes.”
Ware, honored as college back
of the year by the Touchdown
Club, said there isn’t much more
he can accomplish as a college
football player. But there appear
to be other reasons for him to by
pass his final year at Houston, in
cluding the departure of Coach
Jack Pardee to the Houston Oil
ers and the possibility that the
NFL will institute a pay scale for
rookies.
“If I were to explore all the
possibilities — and I’m sure there
may come a point in time when I
want to do that — I will pursue it
and see what’s out there for
Andre,” Ware said.
In an interview prior to the
banquet, NFL commissioner Paul
Tagliabue said the league may
ease restrictions on athletes who
wish to play in the NFL before us
ing up their college eligibility.
“We’ll have to clarify the rule,”
Tagliabue said. “It will involve
some liberalization, but it will also
involve drawing a line below
which we would not make excep
tions.”
Tagliabue said “outstanding”
players such as Barry Sanders
and Keith McCants should be al
lowed to enter the draft as under
classmen. But the commissioner
said he feared that a revised rule
would hurt players with marginal
talent.
Lady Ags
(Continued from page 9)
Ison, missed another free throw, but
A&M failed to get the rebound and,
with 18 seconds left, was forced to
foul yet another Arkansas guard.
For Arkansas, the third time was
the charm they were looking for.
Senior guard Juliet Jackson went
to the line and made both her free
throws.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough,
she stole the ball before the Lady
Aggies could get it past half-court.
Jackson dribbled precious seconds
off the clock before Irving was able
to foul her with five seconds left.
Jackson then hit another free
throw to provide the game’s final
score.
“Juliet Jackson played like a se
nior for us tonight,” Arkansas Coach
John Sutherland said. “She stepped
up to the line and knocked ’em
down.”
Jackson did not score a field goal
in the game, but she tied with Blair
Savage for the Lady Hogs’ team lead
in scoring on the strength of her 11-
of-14 free throw performance.
However, Jackson’s clutch play
was not the only thing that beat the
Lady Aggies.
“If they had shot the ball well,
they would have plastered us,” Su
therland said.
Indeed, A&M held an impressive
44-33 rebounding edge, with De
cree and Madison each gathering
10. The Lady Aggies were fairly
even in all other statistical categories
except blocks.
And points.
“I felt like we had a chance,” Jen
nings said of her team’s prospects to
win after her fourth three-pointer,
“but things at the end — like not
blocking out — really hurt us.”
That and hitting only one-third of
their shots.
