Tech, which opens Sept. 8 at Ohio State, faces a brutal early- season schedule while attempting to replace nine starters on of fense. The only offensive starters re turning from last year’s 9-3 team are junior quarterback Jamie Gill and senior flanker Anthony Ma- nyweather. After facing Ohio State in a na tionally televised game, Tech re turns home to play formidable Houston only five days later in the Red Raiders’ first-ever Thurs day night contest. “We’d better peak about Sept. 13,” Dykes told members of the Southwest Conference press tour Friday. “We can’t wait till Novem ber to be a good team or we’ll be about 2-9.” The Red Raiders also face tra ditional conference rivals Baylor, Texas A&M and Arkansas in the first half of the season. Not counting Rice, five of Tech’s first six opponents had a combined 40-18 record a year ago. “We’ve got an athletic direc tor’s schedule or an alumni’s schedule. It’s certainly not a coach’s schedule,” Dykes said. Gill, who rallied Tech to late victories against Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M last sea son, has shed 15 pounds since spring practice and reported back to school weighing 213. “When he got back this fall, he had 69 (a lineman’s jersey) hang ing in his locker,” Dykes quipped. “I think he got the hint. He’s too slow for a pulling guard.” Battalion file photo Texas Tech hopes to start of the 1990 season with a positive win. Junior guard Jason Duvall, se nior center Brent Barton and se nior tackle Bill DuBose are the leaders of a rebuilt offensive line, but sophomore tackle Charlie Biggurs, 6-4 and 277 pounds, has been impressive after losing more than 20 pounds since last season. “We reel pretty good. We just don’t have any experience there,” Dykes said. “But it doesn’t have to take 10 weeks for them to get pre tty good together.” The Raiders are counting on junior Anthony Lynn to replace celebrated I-back James Gray, who ran for 4,066 yards in his ca reer and set SWC career records for points (312) and touchdowns (52). Lynn, 6-3 and 220 pounds, rushed for 568 yards as Gray’s backup last year. The bright side for Dykes is that the team has back eight of 11 starters on defense, including its full complement of linebackers and defensive backs. “I think the defense is going to have to carry the weight early. We’re going to have to bear down and play good defense early,” Dykes said. “But we should. We have good people there.” The fourth-year Tech coach indicated he was pleasantly sur prised by the rapid development of his freshman class. Dykes said the following play ers could see time on the Field this season: Round Rock tight end Scott Aylor, League City Clear Creek center Scott Fitzgerald, Grand Prairie I-back Donald Marshall, Odessa Permian wide receiver Lloyd Hill, Stamford tight end Eddie Hall and Electra defensive tackle Stephen Gaines. “We didn’t recruit anybody we didn’t think could play, but they’re coming on a little faster and a little better than we thought,” Dykes said. Father-son duo likely in Seattle KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — First, son followed father into the major leagues. Now Ken Griffey Sr. and his son, Ken Jr., could be come the First father-son combi nation on the same major-league team. The Cincinnati Reds placed the elder Griffey on waivers Fri day, making him eligible to play for another team this season. And that team could be the Seattle Mariners. “We have an interest and we’re looking into the possibility,” said Woody Woodward, the Mariners’ vice president for baseball opera- tions, who attended Friday night’s game between the Mari ners and Royals in Kansas City. Woodward said because the waiver would not be effective for three business days, he had no other comment. “He’s still the property of the Reds,” said Dave Aust, Mariners director of public relations. “I don’t see us doing anything be fore September First, if we do.” Ken Griffey Jr., who suffered a slight hvperextension to his knee in Ei id,i\ night’s loss to the Kan sas Cn\ Royals, had no comment about his father. The Criffeys l>ecame the first father-son combination to play in the major. Edberg falls, McEnroe struggles in U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Stefan Ed berg, a victim of tennis burnout after a summer fling in the No. 1 spot, succumbed to his U.S. Open jinx and the rocketing returns of a young Soviet star. Alexander Volkov, the Kalinin grad Kid, wielded a bright red racket under a brilliant sun and me thodically took apart a surprisingly slow Edberg, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, Tuesday in the first opening-round defeat of a top-seeded man here in 19 years. John McEnroe, who burned out on tennis several years ago and has been struggling to come back ever since, survived pressure and tamed his temper to beat Javier Sanchez 7-6 (10-8), 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 in two hours, 42 minutes of high drama on the sta dium court. McEnroe’s bizarre countenance — his eyes glowed through a mask of white sunscreen beneath a broad pink bandana — was outdone only by the strange ensemble of neon lime, black and white worn by Andre Agassi, a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 winner in the evening against Grant Connell. Agassi, who completed his rakish look with a dangling earring, scrag- gly beard and white bandana around long, black and blond hair, put on a show of power tennis in one of his best efforts since reaching the French finals. Jennifer Capriati, 14, fashionably dressed by her multimillion-dollar sponsors, saved a set-point in the first set and won her Open debut as a pro, 7-5, 7-5, against a very tough 15-year-old, Anke Huber. Capriati, astonishingly cool and strong for her age, won the first two games at love and took a 4-0 lead be fore Huber stormed back to win the next five games. But Capriati dug in and Huber yielded, losing a set- point in the 10th game and double- faulting on set point in the 12th. Capriati, who won the juniors here last year, had similar problems holding a lead in the second set. She jumped ahead 5-2, powering deep groundstrokes against the moonballs of Huber, but let the lead slip away as Huber tied it 5-5 with a crafty mixture of shots. Again facing trou ble, Capriati bore down, held serve, then broke Huber with another hard forehand that Huber lunged at but could only tap backhand into the net. Ivan Lendl, aiming to regain the top ranking that Edberg took away Aug. 13, five weeks after winning Wimbledon, easily won his first- round match and said he wasn’t to tally surprised by Edberg’s defeat. “Of course it’s an upset, but when you think about it deeply you can see how it happened,” Lendl said after beating Martin Laurendeau, 7-5, 6- 2, 6-2.
