seems as if “America’s pasttime” is
being pushed to the backbumer.
Lest we not forget that there are still
little round spheroids flying out of
ballparks and double plays being turned.
Football’s here, but it’s not the only
game in town.
Baseball’s headed into crunch-time
and the mad dash to the division playoffs
is here. Three divisions are still up for
grabs and there are many interesting
sidenotes as the season winds down.
The two-time defending American
League champion Oakland A’s, who are
on target to win 103 games, have all but
sown up the Western divsion title. Not
ones to rest on their laurels and wait for
the rest of baseball to catch up, the A’s
recently added to their arsenal.
They scooped up a clutch hitting
Harold Baines from Texas and outfielder
Willie McGee from the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Baines, who hit a home run against
his former mates soon after the trade,
was obtained because of his past success
against the Boston Red Sox, who may
face the A’s in the playoffs.
He is a .352 lifetime hitter against
Bosox aces Roger Clemens and Mike
Boddicker. The two pitchers are a
combined 34-14 with 326 strikeouts this
year.
Over in the American League’s

Lady Aggies gel to fell Bobcats
By SCOTT WUDEL
Of The Battalion Staff
The Lady Aggies may have found what
they were looking for — team chemistry.
The Texas A&M women’s volleyball
team took three of four games from South
west Texas State University Tuesday night,
winning the match 15-3, 17-19, 15-10, 15-5.
Coach A1 Givens, who had been search
ing for players to step forward and lead the
team, was satisfied with what he saw.
“We’ve identified a group that’s going to
work together pretty well,” Givens said, us
ing a total of eight players the entire match.
“We’re trying to get a group that’s going
to gel and mend together, so I wanted to
stay with a group without making a lot of
wholesale changes,” he said.
Krista Heirholzer, Amy Cumings and
Amy Kisling, three starters, all agreed the
team had found the chemistry and consis
tency it was looking for.
“A 180-degree turnaround from Satur
day (a loss to Idaho) — you could feel it,”
Heirholzer said.
Elizabeth Edmiston, Diane Robertson,
and Genny Wood finish out a starting
lineup that Givens will stick with heading
into Nebraska thisnveekend to play the top-
ranked Cornhuskers.
SWT (3-4) jumped on the board first,
grabbing a 2-0 lead in the first game. But
the Lady Aggies (2-3) went on a 15-1 run
and ended the game with an Edmiston kill.
After the opening game it looked like the
Lady Aggies were going to get to bed early
were it not for a stingy Bobcat defense and
an overconfident Aggie offense in the sec
ond game. A&M held a 7-1 advantage by
using numerous taps and slaps into the
holes of the SWT defense.
But the Bobcats started crawling back
into the game, highlighted by the hard
serves of senior Stephanie Lawrence. Be
fore the Aggies knew it the score was tied at
12. Both teams traded game points and
long balls before Lawrence softly killed an
A&M shot in the middle of the Aggie de
fense for the win, 17-19.
Cumings paced the Lady Aggie attack in
the third and fourth games. Her successful
blocks and kills gave the team the offensive
firepower it needed.
At one point Heirholzer set up Cumings
for a round-house slam that gave the Lady
Aggies a 10-5 lead in the third game, ignit
ing the team and the crowd of 583.
SWT cut the A&M lead to one point but
the Lady Aggies reeled off four straight
points on Robertson’s serves, finishing the

game with a Kisling and Edmiston block.
A&M shot to an early lead in the fourth
game and made the score 10-1 when
Woods, primarily the A&M setter, moved
across court to kill a ball into an open cor
ner of the Bobcat’s court. Kisling grinned
after she tapped a ball from behind her
head over the net and just inside the SWT
out-of-bounds line for the 13th point.
“As a team we were very fluid,” Givens
said.
Cumings recorded 19 kills in 36 attempts
during the night, and credited the rest of
the team with her success.
“The passes were there,” Cumings said.
“We were passing exceptionally well today.”
Kisling started her first match with 10
kills in 21 attempts.
Raiders stay in
City of Angels
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Raiders,
after flirting with offers from at least
three other cities, signed a long-term
contract on Tuesday to continue to play
at the Memorial
Coliseum.
The 20-year
deal between the
Raiders and
Spectacor, the
company that pri
vately manages
the Coliseum, was signed Tuesday
morning after negotiations that went
into Monday night.
In conjunction, the Coliseum Com
mission dropped its $58 million breach
of contract suit against the Raiders. Su
perior Court Judge William Huss ac
cepted the dismissal of the lawsuit Tues
day afternoon.
The Coliseum will be renovated with
private funds reportedly totaling $145
million. Spectacor wouldn’t release fi
nancial specifics, saying that the
agreement was private. Among addi
tions will be the skyboxes that the Raid
ers claimed they were promised when
they moved from Oakland in 1982.
The new contract goes into effect
once the renovations are complete. Con
struction probably wouldn’t begin until
after the 1991 season, officials said.
Spectacor still must acquire approval
from various government agencies.
During renovation, the Raiders and
the University of Southern California,
which has played football at the Col
iseum since it was built in 1923, will play
their home games at other local stadiums
for at least one season.
“What’s important is that we made a
decision to stay in Los Angeles,” Raiders
owner A1 Davis said at a news conference
at the Coliseum. “I was very satisfied
with the arrangement in Los Angeles,
and that was the direction I chose to
take.”
The Raiders had been unhappy with
the deteriorating Coliseum since 1987.
While they negotiated for improvements
there, they also negotiated recently with
Oakland, where the team played
through the 1982 season.
The team earlier appeared headed to
suburban Irwindale or Sacramento, and
an offer from Fontana, in San Bernar
dino County, was made in August.
