The Battalion
A&M redshirts Peters after surgery
Former Brenham star to return
in 1991 after elbow rehabilitates
By ALAN LEHMANN
Of The Battalion Staff
Texas A&M baseball coach Mark
Johnson said Wednesday that he will
redshirt f reshman pitcher John Pet
ers.
Peters, a high school phenome
non from Brenham who set a na
tional record with 53 consecutive vic
tories, underwent arthroscopic
surgery on his right elbpw Friday.
Dr. Jim Andrews performed the
operation in Birmingham, Ala., and
removed one centimeter of bone
from the tip of Peters’ elbow.
The point of Peters’ elbow where
his radius and ulna met had formed
improperly, coming to a point in
stead of a hinge.
As a result, he couldn’t fully ex
tend his arm, causing pain and a loss
in velocity, said his mother, Ruth
Peters.
The freshman said he’s had the
problem for some time.
Peters First noticed the elbow pain
in June while pitching in a high
school all-star game in the Astro
dome.
He started the game for the South
all-stars, but had to leave after only 1
and 1/3 innings.
Thinking that his arm just needed
rest, Peters didn’t throw in the Ag
gies’ fall drills. After he threw in
practice in January, Peters’ elbow
was still tender, so he sought medical
help and was referred to Andrews.
In addition to the operation,
other tests were run on Peters’ arm,
but no ligament or cartilage damage
was discoved, Peters said.
Currently, Peters is undergoing
therapy using stretching and light
weights. Andrews told Peters he
shouldn’t sweat this week, so he can’t
continue his daily four-mile runs un
til next week.
But Peters isn’t depressed by the
surgery or Johnson’s decision. He
said that early in the year he had
hoped to be a part of the Aggie
pitching staff, but was now glad to be
redshirted.
“I think it could work out well,”
Peters said Wednesday. “The (red-
shirt year) will give me time to rest
and get stronger. I want to be a
starter next season. That’s what I’m
shooting for.”
Peters won’t be able to throw for
four months, but expects to pitch by
the end of August.
Johnson said before the season
tha,t he didn’t expect Peters to see
much action this year.
However, Johnson said that Pet
ers is a hard worker and should con
tribute next season.
“The prognosis is good for a com
plete recovery,” Johnson said. “He’ll
be back at full strength next season,
better than ever, with four years of
eligibility left. He’s not in bad shape
for a guy who came in here with a
sore arm.”
It won’t be easy for Peters to
match his high school success. He re
corded a 54-1 mark and led his
teams to three consecutive 4A state
championships. Peters broke the na
tional record with his 52nd consec
utive high school victory April 29,
1989 when he defeated A&M Con
solidated.
He racked up 22 shutouts and Five
no-hitters for Brenham. He also had
612 strikouts in only 370 innings.
Peters has had a history of arm
problems. In the summer of 1987,
Peters was pitching at the Junior
Olympic Festival when he suffered a
shoulder injury. He rehabilitated
quickly, missing only a few games at
the beginning of his junior year.
That injury was unrelated to Peter’s
recent elbow trouble.
Sooners keep No. 1 in Big Eight

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma, it seems, is try
ing to make sure the nation’s No. 1 team remains in the
Big Eight Conference.
Last week, Missouri of the Big Eight held the top
spot. But Oklahoma beat the Tigers on Sunday, knock
ing them to No. 3 and allowing conference rival Kansas
to become No. 1 for the third time this season.
That victory also bumped the Sooners from 10th into
a tie for fifth, giving the Big Eight three of the nation’s
top five teams. On Tuesday, Oklahoma pounded the
nation’s new No. 1 team, 100-78, ending its home
schedule at 16-0 and increasing its winning streak at
Lloyd Noble Arena to 45 games.
A victory Saturday at Oklahoma State could propel
the Sooners to the top of the poll heading into next
week’s conference tournament. The ramiFications of a
big showing in this big stretch were clear to the Sooners.
“We were really Fired up playing the number ones
because we were number five, and we could get to be
one of the top four teams and than a number-one
seed,” William Davis, who scored 22 points against Kan
sas, said.
“There’s no mystique with playing No. 1 when it's
Missouri or Kansas because we play ’em all the time,” he
said. “That’s the most important thing. The rivalry and
the inter-conference thing hits you more than No. 1,
but this made it special. I’d have to say that."
In the Kansas game, the Sooners went to the press
from the outset —something they haven’t done of late
— and Kansas wound up committing a season-high 26
turnovers.
Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said his team’s strong
performances were due more to the fact they were im
portant conference games.
During one stretch in the first half, w hen Oklahoma
widened its lead from 18-13 to 25-15, Kansas turned
the ball over on 10 of 12 possessions. The Sooners even
tually opened a 41-17 lead before tiring in the final five
minutes of the half.
“We couldn’t get shots we needed and they forced us
into turnovers,” Kansas guard Kevin Pritchard said.
“When you do that, your offense comes off your de
fense, and that’s a big part of their game.”
Kansas coach Roy Williams saw' it this way:
“I think they just got after us a little harder than we
were ready to be gotten after,” he said. “They just got
after our tails and we didn’t do a good job of taking care
of the basketball.”
Oklahoma is 22-4 overall and 10-3 in the Big Eight,
while Kansas is 27-3 and 10-3.

Memory course helps
students boost grades
By Anthony Rao
have taught thousands.
Former University of Houston
football coach Jack Pardee said
it best: “This was so helpful to
several of my players, ! am now
making the whole football team
take the course.”
Pardee read about a memory
seminar held by noted memory
expert Alvin Jackson and sent
three players who needed to
pass some important tests in or
der to stay in school. Pardee
sent athletic department aca
demic advisor Dr. James Berlow
as an observer.
In one three-hour session Mr.
Jackson took three college
freshmen, whose college en
trance exam grades were so
poor they are not allowed to
practice football, and trans
formed them into students who
can perform studying and recall
tasks as well as the brightest
students on campus.
Since Dr. Berlow took part in
the class, he admits his recall
and memory increased sixfold.
He wishes Jackson’s course
was available when he studied
for his doctorate.
This reporter attended the
seminar and personally wit
nessed the athletes use mem
ory techniques to master
French, Portuguese, anatomy
names and faces.
What impressed this writer
the most is how memory tech
niques are used in reading and
listening.
“Contrary to popular belief
people are not born with good
memories, it can be taught, I
taught it to those wanting to usei aset) all
it to increase their G.P.A. ::i le rus
those with perfect G.P.A.s whoi^ 1 '
wish to cut down on study time| ee ‘| 11
while maintaining high grades,
Jackson said.
“Our present educational sys
tern gives high grades tothose
who can memorize. If you v
member more of what you hea'
in lectures and remember all c
what you read, you will ge
higher grades,” Jackson added
“I know many techniquesaoJ
teach my students the one
fits them best. Right nowall
dents use the “Rote” memoriza
tion system taught in school
Under “Rote” you have to g«
over and over what you wantl
learn. As far as I am concerned.
“Rote” is the worst. What slil
dent has that much time to re’
peat information enough times
to get top grades?” says Jack’
son.
Jackson will be in Collegf|
Station at the College Station
Community Center, Monday
March 5, for two sessions. 0o«
in the afternoon at 2:00 PM.and
a second session at 6:00 PM
The tution for the 3-V2 hour ses
sion is $55.00 for pre-regisW'
tion, or $100.00 for two regisW'
tions.
Jackson is only accepting^
persons in each class on a
come first served basis,
guarantee is strong and
means it unconditionally,
guarantees, at the very least,!*”
