SWC Football: Texas Tech
New Red Raiders’ offense faces
tough opener at No. 17 Ohio State
LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas
Tech football coach Spike Dykes
knows the Red Raiders’ offense
has plenty of growing up to do
and not much time to do it.
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.
