The Texas A&M women’s basketball team is hoping
to bounce back from a 95-70 loss against Texas last Fri
day, as it heads to the hills of Arkansas to take on the
Lady Razorbacks tonight.

The Lady Aggies are 15-7 overall and 7-4 in the
Southwest Conference with just a half game still sepa
rating them from the Texas Tech Red Radiers, who are
in third.
Arkansas slipped into the LISA Today’s Top 25 poll
at No. 25 last week. UA continues to trail the No. 1
SWC leaders, Texas, by one game with a 12-1 record in
the conference and a 19-3 overall standing.
The Lady Aggies suffered only their second home
loss of the season as the Lady Longhorns upended the
Lady Aggies before a season-high G. Rollie White Col
iseum crowd of 2,043.
UT and A&M were tied after the first five minutes,
12-12. But the Lady Longhorns went on a 14-2 run and
the Lady Aggies managed to score just a pair of free
throws over the course of the next eight-and-a-half
minutes.
Texas extended its lead to as much as 18 points in the
first period and took a 39-25 advantage to the locker
room at halftime.
At the begining of the second half, Texas built up an
other huge lead of as much as 25 points and was able to
hold A&M off to win the game.
Arkansas is coming off a 74-60 win over Southed
Methodist Saturday in Fayetteville. The Lady Razoi!
backs held a slim 32-29 lead at halftime, but Coreis
Cheanult came in off the bench for UA to contributeli
points and a game-high nine rebounds to give Arkansj
the victory.

Brewers’ Molitor signs three-year
contract to avoid salary arbitration
Li
TODAY
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Paul Moli
tor became baseball’s ninth player to
average $3 million per season when
he agreed Monday to $9.1 million,
three-year contract with the Milwau
kee Brewers.
Molitor’s contract — baseball’s
seventh highest in average annual
value — calls for him to receive a $1
million signing bonus and annual
base salaries of $2.1 million in 1990,
$2.9 million in 1991 and $3.1 million
in 1992.
He will get half of the signing bo
nus immediately and the other
$500,000 on Feb. 15, 1991, deferred
at 10'A percent interest.
for arbitration and settle. Milwaukee
general manager Harry Dalton has
never had a player go to an arbitra
tion hearing.
“I thought certainly two or three”
would go to a hearing, Dalton said
Monday, adding that there was no
magical formula for avoiding arbi
tration. “There is nothing I can iso
late. You’d have to ask the players.
It’s not something I’m trying to per
petuate. My job is to sign the best
club that I can.

The 33-year-old Molitor had filed
a salary arbitration request of $3.25
million and the Brewers countered
with $2.6 million. Molitor batted
.315 last season, when he made
$1.75 million, including $350,000 in
bonuses.
Molitor, who had been scheduled
for a hearing on Tuesday, is the 14th
member of the Brewers who filed
“It’s a process that is necessary
each year. We still have some others
to sign, but those are players with
less experience. We are glad the ma
jor people have been taken care of.”
Milwaukee announced on Dec. 19
that Robin Yount agreed to a three-
year contract but it still has not been
reported to the owners’ Player Rela
tions Committee and the Major
League Baseball Players Association.
He filed for arbitration as a formal
ity when his contract — reported to
be worth $9.6 million — was not fin
ished by the filing deadline.
Dalton said earlier that Yount’s
contract does not have to be filed un
til opening day in April. However,
both the union and the PRC would
have to approve an extension past
Tuesday’s deadline to complete arbi
tration hearings.
The Brewers still have 14 players
unsigned — pitchers Don August,
Tony Fossas, Mark Knudson, Angel
Miranda, Steve Monson, Jaime Na
varro and A1 Sadler; catcher Charlie
O’Brien; infielders Billy Bates,
George Canale, Gary Sheffield and
Bill Spiers, and outfielders Darryl
Hamilton and Greg Vaughn.
Molitor tied for fifth in the Amer
ican League last year with 194 hits,
tied for sixth in batting, was sixth in
multi-hit games with 55, tied for
eighth in doubles with 35 and tied
for ninth in stolen bases with 27.
He led the Brewers in stolen bases
during 1989 for the 11th time in his
12 seasons, and had his second best
career totals in games at 155, at bats
at 615, hits and doubles.

said. “I hit a few home runs.”
Although Patterson said he felt
that he could play college baseball
right out of high school, he wasn’t
recruited as a baseball player. He
was recruited to play football for all
the Southeastern Conference
schools, Pittsburgh, Clemson and
A&M.
“It’s very hard to get a full schol
arship in baseball,” he said. “I was
glad to get the football scholarship,
so football is my main priority.”
But Patterson couldn’t shake his
love for baseball, so he decided to try
out for the A&M squad. When he
talked to head football coach R.C.
Slocum about playing baseball af-
teron to wait a year because Offen
sive Coordinator Bob Toledo was in
the process of installing a new of
fense.
Patterson waited and learned the
offense well enough to be the Ag
gies’ third-leading receiver last sea
son.
After the football season was over,
he approached baseball coach Mark
Johnson about playing baseball. Pat
terson said that Johnson welcomed
him to try out, but promised not to
waste Patterson’s time if he didn’t
have room on the team.
“Coach Johnson was really
straightforward with me,” Patterson
said.
Patterson admitted that Jackson’s
success in both sports has been inspi
rational, but he said that he would
have played baseball at A&M any
way.
“I feel like in life, if there’s some
thing you have the ability to do, why
not do it?” he said. “Instead of
looking back and saying ‘I could
have done that’.
“I didn’t want to face that, so I de
cided to go out (for baseball). If you
have an ability, why not play?”
Patterson said that spring practice
went well for him, but he’s still not
the hitter he’d like to be.
“I feel like my hitting is coming
along. Of course, hitting takes more
time, but I should be there as the
season progresses.”
Patterson said that mental prepa
ration for a baseball game is tougher
for him than a football game.
“Being a receiver, you have to be
ready for a Fight, because the big
guys are out to get you,” Patterson
said. “It’s a little harder to get ready
for baseball. When I’m sitting on the
bench, I’m constantly thinking that I
might get into the game, so I’ve got
to be ready.”
Playing both sports requires Pat
terson to on the field most of the
year. He said that he misses the free
time.
“Spring break is coming up, and I
won’t get a chance to go home (be-
cuase of baseball),” he said.
Not being able to see his parents is
a blow to Patterson, who names
them as his biggest role models.
“My parents have been very sup
portive of me from little league on
up to college,” Patterson said.
He has passed along his positive
outlook by working with some of the
youth near his home in Mississippi.
Patterson said that he encourages
young people to do their very best.
“Whatever you’re involved in,
give it your best,” he said. “Because,
down the road, you don’t want to
look back and know that you didn’t
try as hard as you could.”
