Groups get together for charity By ALAN LEHMANN Of The Battalion Staff Cadets and fraternity members w ill face each other with bats in hand Wednesday night on Olsen Field. But they won’t be brawling. TheyTl be playing baseball. Each team will be composed of 32 members and will play a nine-inning game, with the proceeds going to ward scholarships. Matt Poling, Corps of Cadets Commander, said the game was or ganized as an effort to increase in teraction between the Corps and fra ternities. Robert Magee, the coach of the Corps team, agreed. “It’ll be a sort of social clash,” Ma gee said. “We really don’t interact much.” Inter-Fraternity Council Presi dent Field Hudgens agreed but said that the teams have met, had lunch together and got along well. “This is just an example of how represenatives from two groups can get along,” Hudgens said. “Maybe this will pave the way for our organi zations to work together in the futu re.” It should be a professional looking rivalry anyway. Derrick Grubbs will be on hand to run the public adress system, and will be call ing lucky numbers. Although the teams will not be competing for a trophy or cup, Pol ing said he hopes this will become an annual event. “We need to get a lot of fans out,” Magee said. “TheyTl see some good baseball and the $2 admission fee goes to a good cause.” STATELINE, Nev. (AP) — For mer heavyweight champion George Foreman pummeled the ample belly of overmatched Mike Jameson, bloodied his eye and knocked him out in the fourth round Tuesday night to stay on track for a title shot. Foreman, slow and plodding but still much quicker and sharper than Jameson, ended the bout at 2:16 of the fourth with a left hook that dropped Jameson in a heap in his own corner. Earlier in the round, Foreman knocked Jameson’s mouth- f >iece out for the third time in the ight, and opened a deep, ugly gash over his left eye that led to a brief halt while the ringside doctor checked the damage. Jameson was breathing hard from the body blows and had blood drip ping down his face when referee Mills Lane began to move in, appar ently intent on stopping the light. Before Lane could intervene. Fore man hit Jameson with the left hook to ended it. “I can take a good punch,” Jameson said. “But by God, he hit me harder than anyone, even Mike Tyson. He hits you with those hands, it’s like a wrecking ball coming at you.” When Foreman started his comeback 21 fights ago, in 1987, he had two goals — to get his boys club out of hock, and to win the heavy weight title again. He’s accomplished his first goal and has a chance for the second, with a possible stop first to pick up several million dollars fighting Ty son in the fall. Foreman’s next fight will be against Adilson Rodrigues of Brazil in June. If Foreman keeps winning and can beat Tyson, he hopes then to fight the champion, Buster Douglas, or his challenger in Septemher, Evander Holyfield. Mavs squeak past slumping Jazz, 97-9t toe DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks almost blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead but survived a late Utah rally Tuesday night to beat the Jazz, 97-96, behind the 24 points of Derek Harper.
