PHIL, ‘hilaclel] ear NF n waive n the iack Jam on both sides of the ball,” Wagner said. “When we get into a game where we’re outmanned like we will be this weekend against A&M, we re vert to the basics. “We’ll take care of the ball on of fense, avoiding turnovers and not give up the big plays to their offen se.” Slocum echoed Wagner’s game plan. Rimin 3 regal, "game he Eagl me regu iff game i reserve Die t [winner round H [nati Ben; pre “A lot of pressure is going to be put on our defensive front,” Slocum said. “We’re going to have to try and shut down their running game, force turnovers and get some pro duction from Lewis and Wilson.” The Aggies must also contend with the distractions of the state of Hawaii itself. Slocum said first A&M must get acclimated to the five-hour time differential and then focus on the game. Battalion file photo by M. Muht Texas A&M senior running back Darren Lewis will lead the Aggie offense Saturday. Sabatini a quiet, dangerous Open threat He pointed out A&M’s failure to concentrate during a road trip to Washington a year ago. The Huskies trounced the Aggies 19-6 on na tional television. Wagner said he doesn’t believe the 10-hour trip to Hawaii will affect A&M’s performance Saturday. NEW YORK (AP) — Gabriela Sa batini is right where she wants to be — somewhere between sass and steadiness. “It seems everybody is thinking about Graf, Seles, Martina,” she said. “I feel better that way. It is motiva tion for me. It gives me something to prove.” Sabatini is something of an af terthought these days, overlooked and lurking in the middle of the U.S. Open draw, sitting back and waiting. She quietly goes about business, like “BYU comes over here year after year and plays well,” Wagner said. “Certainly you’d rather play at home, but they’ve had ample time to rest and practice. However, the Rainbows do well within the friendly confines of Aloha Stadium. They haven’t lost a regular season game there since November 1988. The meeting between Slocum and Wagner three years ago is reflected in the coaching philosophies of both. A quick glance at each coaches’ de fensive schemes will show parallels. Those parallels will be shattered Saturday when one walks out of Aloha Stadium the victor, and the other just walks away. Tijerina. Continued from page 9 Though Smith is threatening to stay in school if the Cowboys don’t pay him, don’t count on it. He can’t return to Florida to play football be cause he’s no longer eligible after hiring an agent to represent him. And he can’t even think about pe titioning the NCAA for any kind of reinstatement. Notre Dame’s Brax ton Banks has already tried it, and failed. He left college a year early for the NFL, but wasn’t drafted and wanted college football to give him another chance. But he didn’t get one, and he didn’t even have an agent. So what is Smith to do while his future teammates prepare for Hous ton tomorrow night? “Emmitt would be a fool not to sign,” said a source in the Florida athletic department. “He doesn’t re alize it, but he’s hurting himself by not playing. He’ll sign pretty soon.” For a team that’s one player or two away from the Super Bowl, you’d expect an owner to be willing to pay the extra price for someone of Smith’s ability. But that’s not the Dallas Cowboys. Jones has to be thinking about the salary cap. And he’s doing the right thing dealing with it nowthan worry ing about it later. Wednesday’s 6-1, 6-1 second-rom! victory over Isabelle Demongeot. Against Demongeot, Sabatini h a model of consistency and ei ciency- She was more than satisfy with her performance. “I feel very good, very confidem she said. “I think I am playing®j best right now. This was a match and I made it easy. 1 feelvfit comfortable out there.” Sabatini has reached the auarterfi rials, finals and semis in the fastthttt years here but lias never beenableti win a Grand Slam event. That may be why the spotlightlffl switched to others. Now, though,.* thinks her own switch to new Carlos Kirkmayer could makeadii ference. “I can see the difference in■ game,” Sabatini said. “It’s technio! I’m moving better. Maybe it’s fro» working a lot.” She came into the Open seedd No. 5, with just one victory thisyaj — the Virginia Slims of Florida Boca Raton in March. Her victim in the finals? Capriati, whose pro debut hogged the headlines in that tournament. >v PROFESSIONAL TESTING CENTERS GMAT review The Difference Between Admission To The MBA Program of Your Choice...
