It’s been a long wait for Texas
A&M senior point guard Tony Mil-
ton.
Milton, after being nominated
nine times in the past 12 weeks, was
named Southwest Conference Co-
Player of the Week Monday for his
performance in last week’s games
against Arkansas and Rice.
Houston’s Carl Hererra also was
named to the award.
Wednesday will provide a meeting
for both Milton and Herrera, as the
Aggies host the Cougars at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Milton scored 23 points and
added seven rebounds and six assists
in last Wednesday’s 114-100 loss to
nationally ranked Arkansas.
He followed up that performance
in Saturday’s 103-95 win over Rice
with 25 points and nine assists.
For the week, he averaged 24.0
points, 4-0 rebounds, 7.5 assists,
made 17-of-33 field goal attempts

A&M coach John Thornton said
Milton deserved the honor because
the senior has meant so much to the
Aggies this season.
He is one of only four seniors on a
young A&M team.
“Tony has been a very consistent
player for us all season and is an in
tense competitor,” Thornton said.
“He’s been very deserving of the
honor, which is a tribute to the en
tire team.”
He is the first Aggie to be hon
ored this season. Three Lady Aggies
have won the award this year.
Milton has started in 58 straight
games since transferring to A&M
prior to last season from Central
Florida Junior College.

On the year, he leads the Aggies
with a 20.5 scoring average, second
in the SWC, and averages 6.9 assists
per game, also second in the SWC.
With 951 career points, Milton
could become only the second two-

nine three-pointers (55.6 percent).
He added three steals against
Rice.
Milton ranks second on A&M’s
single season assists list with 193, and
should easily break Darryl McDon

After a hard-fought victory over
Rice Saturday night the Lady Aggies
basketball team will play their next
to last game of the regular season to
night as they host the Lady Cougars
at G. Rollie White Coliseum. Tipoff
is set for 7:30.
A&M squeaked out a narrow win,
74-69, against the Lady Owls in
overtime with junior gaurd Yvonne
Hill sinking two shots in the final
seconds of regulation time to keep
the Lady Aggies alive.
Hill was fouled with only one sec
ond left on the clock and had to
make both free throws to push the
game into overtime. Despite a
timeout called by Rice before the
first shot and two more before the
second. Hill made both buckets tying
the game, 66-66.
“T he timeouts didn’t really bother
me. They didn’t rattle me at all,” Hill
said. “Finally, though, I went up to
the referee and asked if they had
any more timeouts left. I just wanted
to get it over with.”
A&M was able to hold on for the
overtime win despite the loss of
three of their starters at the end of
regulation play.
With this win the Lady Aggies in
crease their record to 16-9 overall
and 8-6 in Southwest Conference

One year after the massacre,
Cowboys still going nowhere
IRVING (AP) — One year ago, the NFL wit
nessed an apocalypse of the Dallas Cowboys.
After the “Saturday night massacre” on Feb. 25,
1989, the only thing that didn’t change was the name
of the team.
Tom Landry, the only coach in the team’s 29 years
of existence, was fired. Club President Tex
Schramm, rendered powerless and dispirited by the
change of ownership, eventually left.
Personnel director Gil Brandt, the last of the Cow
boys’ “Big Three” who accounted for 19 consecutive
winning seasons and five Super Bowls, was sacked.
Front office staffers, secretaries, and assistant
coaches were released.
Veteran players such as Randy and Danny White
were encouraged to retire. Others were cut. Run
ning back Herschel Walker, the only offensive star
left on the team, was traded.
Owner Jerry Jones brashly predicted his good
buddy and new head coach Jimmy Johnson would
win more games in the first third of the season than
Landry had (three) in 1988.
But Jerry and Jimmy found it wasn’t that easy in
the cannibalistic NFL.
One victory football is all they managed and all
they have in the trophy case one year after the
upheaval of what once was “America’s Team.”
Landry is more popular than ever. He has done a
smash television commercial (sings in it, no less) and
recently was chosen on first ballot as an inductee into
the Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Schramm is biding his time and biting his tongue
about the upheaval at Valley Ranch as he awaits the
start of the World League of American Football in
the spring of 1991.
Jones and most of the NFL teams are partners in
the undertaking.
Brandt has been keeping a low profile as he plots
his next professional move. He appears at basketball
games and is critical of the way the new regime has
done business. -
Jones has tried to make peace with the fans and
his critics.
“I handled the Landry situation poorly,” he said.
“But there wasn't an easy way to handle it. Jimmy
was going to be my coach.”
Johnson, accustomed to the heady success of na
tional championship teams at the University of Mi
ami, was stunned the Cowboys didn’t perform bet
ter.
“The players we have now love football and have a
winning attitude,” he said.
“Replacing the veteran players hurt us more than
we thought. We thought we’d win more games.”
When you visit Jones’ office — formerly
Schramm’s — the first things you notice are the
Cowboys’ two Super Bowl championship trophies.
A year after the “Saturday Night Massacre,” the
Cowboys have never been farther away from an
other one.

“Houston has been playing very

Hickey said.
A&M trails, 21-17, in the series

have won their last four meetings
with the Lady Cougars. A&M won
73-61 in College Station, 90-77 in

The Lady Aggies kept their streak
alive with a 88-67 win over the Lady

four years as she connected on 9-of-

throws to score a career-high 28
points. Herner also collected four
rebounds and three steals and
dished out seven assists on her way
to claiming the SWC Player of the
Week honors.

AUSTIN (AP) — Pitcher Todd
Van Poppel of Arlington Martin,
considered a strong possibility to be
the first pick of the major league
draft in June, has committed to the
University of Texas.
Van Poppel, a 6-foot-5, 210-
pound right-handed power pitcher,
chose the Longhorns over Miami,
Louisiana State and Texas A&M. He
said chances are “pretty good right
now” that he will attend college
rather than sign a professional con
tract.
“I haven’t given too much thought
to the pro draft,” said Van Poppel.
“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to
it.”
Van Poppel and Cleburne pitcher
Mark Lummus became the fifth and
sixth recruits to choose the Long
horns.
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — Ray
mond Berry was fired Monday as
coach of the New England Patriots
in a power struggle with General
Manager Pat Sullivan. Pittsburgh de
fensive coordinator Rod Rust, a for
mer Patriots’ assistant, reportedly
was the top candidate to succeed
Berry.
The firing came one day before
Berry’s 57th birthday and after 5‘A
seasons on the job. He had one sea
son left on his five-year contract.
Sullivan had no comment on the
firing, but said he would meet with
reporters Tuesday. The team re
leased a statement saying simply that
Berry had been relieved of his du
ties.
The Steelers said they had given
Rust permission to talk with the Pa
triots.
The Patriots were 5-11 last season
and missed the NFL playoffs for the Sullivan he planned to split the of-
third consecutive year. Berry, who
had worked without offensive and
defensive coordinators in 1989, was
pressured by Sullivan to add those

running back coach Bobby Grier
and quarterback coach Richard
Wood, Sullivan went to Kiam.
The owner gave Sullivan permis

But while Sullivan reportedly pre

those spots from his current staff.
Last December, shortly after the
season, Patriots owner Victor Kiam
reportedly offered former San Fran
cisco coach Bill Walsh the job of club
president and the power to hire a
coach or take the job himself.
“It was time for Pat to step up to
