Patriots decide on Sfeelers’ Rust
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — Grand-
fatherly Rod Rust, who was running
out of time to become an NFL head
coach, got that job Tuesday with the
New England Patriots, who had little
time to find one.
Rust, Pittsburgh’s defensive coor
dinator, replaced Raymond Berry,
who was fired Monday after resist
ing General Manager Pat Sullivan’s
desire for an offensive coordinator
from outside the organization.
The white-haired, bespectacled
Rust, 61, was an NFL assistant the
past 14 years but never a head coach.
Minnesota’s Jerry Burns, 63, is the
league’s only older head coach.
Although the Patriots were 5-11
and missed the playoffs for the third
straight season, Sullivan gave Berry
a vote of confidence in early Jan
uary.
But events escalated swiftly last
week when Sullivan pushed Berry to
make changes. Berry wanted to let
current assistants handle the coordi
nator’s job, and Sullivan got permis
sion last Friday from owner Victor
Kiam to fire Berry.
With the draft less than two
months away and a possible March 1
deadline for hiring another team’s
assistant, the Patriots moved quickly.
An NFL guideline states that no
team can seek permission after
March 1 to hire another team’s assis
tant to become its own assistant. A
league spokesman said that probably
could apply if the new job is head
coach.
From 1983 through 1987, Rust
was the Patriots’ defensive coordina
tor, the last 314 seasons under Berry.
The Patriots went to their only Su
per Bowl in 1985.
Rust became defensive coordina
tor in 1988 under Kansas City coach
Frank Gansz but lost the job when
Gansz was fired, and moved to Pitts
burgh in 1989.
In taking his fourth job in four
years, Rust rejoins a club he had left
temporarily in one of its more bi
zarre situations.
Midway through the 1984 season,
on Oct. 24, Patriots poach Ron
Meyer fired Rust before telling Sulli
van, who was in New Orleans at
league meetings. Sullivan rushed
home, hired Berry that night and
fired Meyer the next morning. One
of Berry’s first acts as head coach
was to bring Rust back as defensive
coordinator.
“He gets a lot of respect because
of his intelligence,” Pittsburgh line-
hacker coach David Brazil said.

A&M guard Yotisha Bosha blocks a Lady Cou- day night. The loss drops the Lady Aggies to 8-7
gars’ shot in the Lady Aggies’ 94-76 loss Tues- in SWC play, 18-10 overall.
UT assistants leave Lady Longhorns
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
Two Texas Lady Longhorn
coaches, including one who was a
former head basketball coach at
Texas A&M, say they will be leaving
the team to pursue business inter
ests.
Lynn Davis Pool and Cherri Rapp
have been with the team 11 and four
years, respectively.
Pool and Rapp announced their
decisions Monday night prior to
Texas’ 91-51 victory over Texas
Christian.
The victory got the Lady Long
horns back on the winning track af
ter losing to Arkansas over the week
end, a loss that snapped their 184-
game winning streak against South
west Conference oppoOnents.
Both will relinquish her duties af
ter the season.
Rapp coached the Lady Aggies
from 1979-84. She compiled a 59-85
record at A&M. The Lady Aggies
finished seventh in the SWC in 1983,
and sixth in 1984.
Pool has been Coach Jody Con-
radt’s top assistant since 1979, and is
credited with developing the Lady
Longhorns’ defensive style.
Rapp is a part-time assistant, step
ping down after four years.
“Even though Lynn is leaving this
year, the tradition of t6ugh Texas
defense will remain forever,” Con-
radt said.
Rust began his coaching career as
an assistant at New Mexico from
1960 through 1962. He spent the
next four years as a Stanford assis
tant then served as head coach at
North Texas State from 1967
through 1972.
Lrom 1973 through 1975, he was
defensive coordinator of the Mon
treal Alouettes of the Canadian
Football League. He joined the NFL
in 1976 as linebacker coach with
Philadelphia, then began a four-year
stint as Kansas City’s defensive coor
dinator in 1978.
Berry’s future is uncertain. He
said Monday he had no plans but
might consider coaching again.
He said his departure was “a very
mutual process.” The Patriots will
honor the final year, worth a re
ported $550,000, of his five-year
contract.
Lady Aggies
sweep softball
doubleheader
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
The Texas A&M women’s softball
team improved to 5-2 on the year
with a doubleheader sweep of the
University of Texas-Arlington Tues
day.
A&M won 3-1 and 7-0.
In the first game, Erica Erickson
had a pair of doubles to pace the
Lady Aggies. Her first-inningdouble
knocked in two runs, which was
more than the Lady Aggies needed
in the game. Dana Mitchell limited
UTA to four hits in seven innings to
improve her record to 3-1.
In the nightcap, which was called
in the fifth inning on the run rule,
Angie Hughes led the Lady Aggies.
Hughes was three-for-three with two
runs batted in, and scored three
runs. Michelle Mayfield and Dawn
Wuthrich each had two hits.
The Lady Aggies’ home opener is
Thursday, as they host Nebraska at 5
p.m. at the Lady Aggie Softball
Lield.
Mavs look
hapless in
loss to Knicks
NEW YORK (AP) — The New
York Knicks on Tuesday night
rebounded from an embarrassing
loss by outrebounding the Dallas
Mavericks in embarrassingly easy
fashion.
Charles Oakley and Patrick
Ewing led the Knicks to a 62-29
rebounding advantage, and a 30-
7 second-half scoring burst car
ried them to a 110-87 rout.
“A win after any loss is impor
tant to us,” said Ewing, who had
21 points and 10 rebounds.
“The key was rebounding and
getting out on the break. We
playecl an outstanding game.”
Oakley had 15 points and 15
rebounds for New York, while
guard Gerald Wilkins added 19
points and eight rebounds.
“We came into the game think
ing they have a big lineup and we
have to keep them off the
boards,” Wilkins said. “We got all
the loose balls and rebounds.”
“They completely dominated
us on the boards and they were
hungrier going for the ball,” Dal
las’ Rolando Blackman said.
“When a team like the Knicks
loses at home the game before,
you have to be ready to accept the
challenge.”
Harper scored 20 points for
Dallas, winners of seven of their
eight previous games, but the
Mavericks shot only 37.8 percent
from the field.
