Junior golfer
leads pack of
underclassmen
From Staff and Wire Reports
Texas A&M’s Bobby Gee was
named to the 12-player All-South
west Conference men’s golf team
Tuesday. The junior, who won last
week’s SWC Tournament, leads six
underclassmen on the squad.
Bill Montigel of Texas Christian
was named Coach of the Year in bal
loting by the league’s coaches.
“With his great tournament win,
t’s just another positive for him to
be selected all-conference,” A&M
Coach Bob Ellis said. “We have
truggled a little bit this year, and I
was pleased to see it close this way
teurs to participate in next month’s
Southwestern Bell Colonial tourna-
Bobby Gee
with Bobby playing the way he is.”
McGee will be one of two ama-
ment.
Texas, which won the regular-sea-
son title and tournament team
championship, had the largest num
ber of players named to the all-con
ference team with four selections.
The Longhorns honored were se
nior Brad Agee, juniors Kyle Jerome
and Omar Uresti, and sophomore
Taylor Tipton.
Houston, Texas Christian and
Baylor had two players apiece
named to the team.
The Cougars were represented by
senior Dee Green and freshman
Thad Harbour. Harbour was the
only freshman named to the squad.
Junior Chad Magee and senior
Mark Massengale were the TCU
players, while seniors Tom Cismoski
and Tim Hobby were named from
Baylor.
Rice’s Mark Pfingston, the 1989
SWC individual champion, also was
named to the team.

Corps vs. Greeks?
Groups get together for charity

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.
With the loss, Utah, the Mid
west Divison leader, slipped to
within a game of runner-up San
Antonio, which hosts the Jazz
Wednesday night.
Harper scored eight of his 24
points to lead a 23-2 first half
spurt, then scored back-to-back
baskets down the stretch.
Thurl Bailey’s layup for Utah
with 40.5 seconds remaining
closed the score to 97-96.
Harper threw up an airball off
a three-point try with 21.2 sec
onds remaining but the Jazz, un
able to communicate because of
the roaring sellout crowd, could
not get off a shot at the game-
winner.
Bailey's 18-footer from the left
corner came after time expired,
preventing the Jazz from com
pleting a four-game series sweep
of Dallas.
Karl Malone scored five of
seven straight points by the Jan
that made the game dose in th
final period, closing a 91-81
las lead to 91-88 at 3:18.
But Harper hit an olf-balantt
12-footer, then drove the midd
for a layip to boost Dallas’ leadio
95-88 with 2:33 left.
