Jones wises up,
Ikeeter ponders
lowboys fate
lomeone please hand Dallas
I Cowboy owner Jerry Jones some
common sense.
The Cowboys opened their
1990 veterans camp yesterday
and Jones, in Dallas’ new training
facilities in Austin, told reporters
that last years 1-15 season had not
diminished his enthusiasm.
What does it take Jerry ... a 0-
16 mark?
Give him some credit though.
Jones has come a long way from
statements made last year.
Like a true rookie, Jones came
in as the Cowboy’s owner, taking
[ charge of a feeble and frail Dallas
team that had just suffered a 3-13
record and predicted it to become
a playoff contender team in the
i first year
What did Jones base his
predictions on? The Cowboys
went through the preseason 3-1.
But I believe Jones has finally
learned his lesson.
“We don’t make predictions
anymore,” Jones said at the
Southwest Associated Press’
Sports Editor Convention.
Bravo, Jerry.
But now 1 must confess. 1 am
not as strong as Jones. And
besides, it’s only May and no one
will remember my predictions
come August anyway.
Look for the Cowboys to
finally be playoff contenders
under the league’s new playoff
system. Dallas may not be able to
win the Eastern Division, but a
wildcard spot is not an unlikely
scenario.
Troy Aikman, in his second
year as the Cowboy’s franchise
quarterback, will show Dallas
why he is paid $ 11 million to lead
the offense.
The Cowboys have made
dramatic strides to obtain an
offense that is not only speedy,
but could be considered a triple
threat. With speedy receivers,
talented backs and Aikman’s
ability to scramble, defenses will
be kept honest.
That’s a big change from last
year, when opposing defenses
blitzed Dallas’ offense on almost
every single down. The Cowboys
had no receivers, a young line
and no healthy backs. Hence the
worst offensive output in the NFL
and the worst record in the
league
I’m not calling for a Super
Bowl appearance in ’91 but the
Cowboys have made moves that
appear to be rebuilding the club
for another decade of NFL
dominance.
And who knows? Dallas could
be to the 90s what the San
Francisco 49ers were to the 80s.
Someone please give Battalion
sports writer Skeeter Brown some
common sense.
NEW YORK (AP) — Some are es
caping “wicked sanctions” against
their universities. Others need the
money, or are ducking school work.
They are college underclassmen,
and they’re all seeking one thing — a
job in the NBA.
“I made the decision to turn the
page on this part of my life and open
a new chapter,” Maryland’s leading
scorer, sophomore forward Jerrod
Mustaf, said Thursday in announc
ing his decision to turn pro.
Citing wicked NCAA sanctions,
Mustaf said he would make a formal
application to the NBA by Sunday’s
deadline. The complete list of un
derclassmen declaring themselves el
igible for the June 28 draft will be
available next Thursday.
So far, several potential stars al
ready have announced they’ll come
out early: Chris Jackson of LSU,
Sean Higgins of Michigan and Mar
cus Liberty of Illinois. Others may
will follow. Perhaps they’ll be Larry
Johnson of UNLV or Dennis Scott
of Georgia Tech.
“1 guarantee you that some of
these guys will change their minds
four or five times before the dead
line,” player agent Eric Fleischer
said.
Thirty-eight college under
classmen declared themselves eligi
ble for the NFL draft, and 18 were
taken. Fewer are expected to be
taken in the NBA draft, which is
only two rounds long.
The 6-foot-10 Mustaf averaged
18.5 points and 7.7 rebounds for
Maryland last season, but he may
have cost himself a top-10 pick by
coming out a year early.
“My feeling is that if a player who
has the potential to be a lottery pick
later on comes out early, it could cost
him a substantial amount of money,”
Washington Bullets general man
ager Bob Ferry said. “If you know a
team is going to draft you, that’s
fine. But if you’re shooting craps, it’s
a tough situation.”
Mustafs father, Shaar Mustaf,
was quoted as saying his son would
not come out early unless he was as
sured of a First-round selection.
Only the day before, the 6-8 Lib
erty, who led Illinois in rebounds
and assists, announced his decision
to turn pro. Financial problems re
portedly were the reason.
While Johnson has said repeat
edly he plans to stay at UNLV for a
Final season, there has been specu
lation that he would turn pro, espe
cially since the Runnin’ Rebels won
the national championship.
“I understand Johnson has de
cided to stay in school,” said
Fleischer, who represents many
NBA players through International
Management Group.
Scott, a 6-8 junior who averaged
27.7 points for Georgia Tech, said
he would announce his decision at a
news conference on Monday.
Last month, Higgins announced
he would skip his final year of eligi
bility at Michigan to play in the NBA
draft, and Jackson made the same
announcement in March, bypassing
two years of NCAA eligibility.
Higgins, who played on Michi
gan’s national championship team
two years ago, liked campus life but
apparently wasn’t particularly fond
of school work. He began college life
ineligible to play academically.
Jackson apparently felt there was
nothing more to accomplish in col
lege. In two seasons, he was a two-
time All-American and scored 1,854
points.
“My college career has turned out
better than I expected, and I just fig
ured now was the time,” Jackson
said. “Things just started floating
through my mind.”
UIL soccer faces ban
DALLAS (AP) — Gina Mazzolini
often has defended soccer in her po
sition as the assistant in charge of the
sport for the University Interscho
lastic League. She now finds herself
accused of trying to ruin the sport in
Texas.
Mazzolini has recommended that
the UIL place soccer on probation
next season. Her frustrations with
the conflict between high school pro
grams and club soccer had peaked
this year with increasing reports of
related misconduct involving play
ers, coaches and spectators.
A UIL ad-hoc committee agreed
with her and made an official recom
mendation that will be voted on by a
24-meinber legislative committee in
October.
“Some coaches have called and
said, ‘You were our only friend in
(the UIL) in soccer, now you turned
against us,”’ Mazzolini said. She said
she had hoped her recommendation
would draw attention to the prob
lem, not lead to the downfall of the
sport.
The UIL' and club officials have
been trading accusations since soc
cer’s sanctioning in 1983. T he main
stumbling block has been the UIL’s
rules prohibiting concurrent play on
club and high school teams.
Mazzolini claims club officials do
not appreciate the UIL’s efforts to
establisfi guidelines and make soccer
fit within the League’s educational
goals. Glub coaches want easy access
to both programs for players. They
claim if the UIL really cared about
soccer, it would quit forcing the play
ers to choose between programs.
“Every time (the UIL puts) in a
piece of (soccer) legislation, I sit back
and wonder, ‘Who the hell put the
time into thinking of this,?’ ” said
John Cossaboon, former director for
the North T exas State Soccer Asso
ciation that involves 80,000 youths.
“Surely they’re not considering the
student.”
Club coaches say their higher-
quality teams are weakened when
players participate on high school
teams. High school coaches admit in
experience among their ranks has
led to many of the current problems.
Lady Ags earn berth in
NCAA Regional tourney
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M softball team re
ceived an invitation from the NCAA
notifying the Lady Aggies that they
were among 20 teams that would be
competing in eight NCAA Regionals
Friday and Saturday.
The Lady Aggies will travel to La
fayette, La. and open their first re
gional game against the Florida State
Seminoles at 4 p.m. Friday. The win
ner of the A&M-FSU game will play
the LIniversity of Southwestern
Louisiana at 8 p.m. Championship
play will be held at 2 p.m. on Satur
day.
Regional champions will travel to
Oklahoma City May 23 to participate
in the NCAA College World Series.
A&M enters the regional match
with an overall record of 47-18 and
finished ranked 10th in the NCAA’s
weekly poll. Their opening oppo
nent, FSU, is 43-14 and is ranked
14th in the polls.
“We’re just glad to be in the play
offs,” A&M softball coach Bob Brock
said. “It would have been nice to
have been able to play at home, but
USL comes in ranked higher than
us.”
The Lady Aggies haven’t had
much success with either FSU or
USL. A&M lost earlier this year to
the Lady Seminoles 3-1 and the
Lady Cajuns handed the Lady Ag
gies a pair oflosses, 2-0 and 1-0.

off Texas jinx,
eyes Colonial
FORT WORTH (AP) — Payne
Stewart, is a big Favorite going
into the Colonial National Invita
tional on “Hogan’s Alley.”
Stewart recently overcame his
Texas voodoo by winning the By

Methodist University had lost in a
playoff at the Nelson five years
ago.
He has twice lost in playoffs at

maybe it's my time to win,” Stew
art said. The Colonial starts
Thursday.
“Let’s see — it’s sponsored by
Southwestern Bell. I won the
MCI at the Heritage Classic and
the GTE Byron Nelson.
“Maybe something is going on
here with telephone services, he
said.
Stewart would like to have his
name on Colonial Country (Tub’s
famed "Wail of Champions.”
The brick wall is just behind
the first tee box.
There are 50 names going back
to 1941 on the wall, with only six
spots remaining to he filled.

Two spots will be used in 1991
for the Colonial champion and
another lor the winner of the
46 th United States Women’s
Open, which will be conducted at
Colonial in July after the May
