OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) — A
mg absence from tournament golf
aci its greatest affect on John
look’s short game.
“My chipping left me. My short
ante left,” he said Thursday after
taking a share of the lead after the
first round of the Canadian Open
with a 7-under-par 65. “I’ve worked
6n it more in the last two months
■ban I have in the rest of my 10 years
ms a touring pro) put together.”
I That work paid of f in the way of a
fa-foot chip-in and a pair of 30-foot
jutts as the highlights of the open-
|ig round for Cook, who missed
lost of last season after hand and
Lrist surgery.
He was tied with Brad Faxon, who
llso used his short game as the key to
| bogey-free effort at the Glen Ab-
ey Golf Club.
“Chipping and putting ususally

laid Faxon, who one-put ted 1 1
limes. That included four birdies
Brom 20 feet or more, and a 15-
■ooter to save par and a piece of the
lead on the final hole.
I While the two Americans shared
[he lead, a pair of Canadians put
themselves in position to become the
Tirst home-grown winner of this na-
jional championship in 36 years.
I Dave Barr was a shot off the lead
at 66 and Richard Zokol, who had
his career-best finish in a runner-up
ole three weeks ago, was in a huge
[roup tied for fourth at 68.

ORANGE (AP) — A Dallas Cowboys fan, a Long

the game clock right in your own living room.
Well sort of.
If the game of football makes players worth millions
of dollars, it also is making one Texas company boost its
business by millions.
Sports Clock World in Orange manufactures clocks
on football helmets, trinkets which have caught the eye
of the nation and transformed Sports Clock into a mul
timillion dollar business inside a small warehouse-like
shed on the outskirts of town.
The company, which started less than two years ago,
estimates 1990 sales to be more than $2 million.
“Our goal is very simple,” said Richard Gandy, the
54-year old co-owner. “We put clocks on football hel
mets for fans, and hope to sell these custom-made
products to every college and professional football fol
lower.”
Sports Glock World is the only authorized helmet
clock manufacturer licensed by the National Football
League to use the logo of all pro football teams.

This year the Boilermakers are 5-

Givens probably will stay with the

change.
He said he and his coaching staff
have talked to the team this year
about showing off— and not just on
the defensive side of the ball.
In that same Houston game, run
ning back Darren Lewis broke free
down the right sideline for an 84-
yard gain. He was headed for an ap
parent touchdown, but as he raised
his arm to celebrate, UH cornerback
Mecridric Calloway caught up with
him and pushed him out at the Cou
gar four-yard line.
“When I ran down the side, I
thought I had it and raised my hand,
but it seemed the goal got farther
and farther away,” Lewis said after
the game. “It’s very frustrating to
run that far and not get in the end-
zone.”

bout this team.”
Slocum’s concern stems from the
Ags/Pagellffact that the Cajuns utilize the Run-
nd-Shoot offense, similar to that of
he University of Hawaii. The Ag-
Jessuccessfully shut down the Rain-
V fU Kcws offense, but Slocum said USL
tossesses a more potent ground al
ack.
“They’re a better running team
than Hawaii,” he said. “They’ll run

an the option at all, but USL has a

Quarterback James Freeman is
the Cajuns’ trigger man for their
Run-and-Shoot attack. The 6-1,207-

year, recording 290 yards. He
USL’s leading rusher, averaging
four yards a carry.
“This guy can beat us,” Slocum
said. “He’s a legitimate runner like
Quinn Grovey or some of the OU
guys. His intention is to run the ball
and he’s good at doing it.”
To shut down Freeman and the
Cajuns’ Run-and-Shoot, the Aggies
must rely on a young corps of line
man and linebackers.
The A&M defense is decimated
with injuries to key players.
Noseguard Pat Henry is lost for the
year after undergoing elbow sur
gery, defensive lineman Mark
wheeler and Kevin Tucker both will
miss Saturday’s game.
Nevertheless, USL head coach
Nelson Stokley said the Cajuns will
have their hands full trying to mini
mize the effect of A&M’s Wrecking
Crew.
“I think we’re going to be in a lot
of trouble when Hawaii runs the
same version of.offense that we run
and they had only four yards ru
shing,” Stokley said.
“We need to keep them off bal
ance by keeping our offense bal
anced with the pass attack and run
ning game, like we did last year
against Alabama.”
Alabama struggled to beat the Ca
juns 24-17.
Slocum said he planned to use
Saturday’s game to give younger
players a chance to make an impact
and gain some experience. True
freshmen Kefa Chatham and Eric
England could see time on the de
fensive front line.
“We’re too thin on the line not to
survive this season without getting
some younger guys ready to play,”
Slocum said. “We will try to play
some of them in this game, but that’s
no reilecuon on Souuiwesiern Loui
siana.
“We just need to try to get them in
the game and kind of speed up their
maturing process because we’re
going to need them down the road.”
Stokley sees a chance to gain a
little national respect this week, but
he’s wary of A&M.
“They’ve got a tremendous foot
ball team,” Stokley said. “Going into
this game, we have an big opportu
nity to gain a little recognition play
ing one of the top ten teams in the
nation.”
Stokley said the key to gaining
that respect starts by shutting down
the Aggies’ offense.
“They’re going to play smash-ball,
hardball, lineup and come after us,”
Stokley said. “I don’t think there’ll
be anything fancy as far as Texas
A&M is concerned.”
However, Stockley said he is con
cerned about shutting down fullback
Robert Wilson and tailback Darren
Lewis. Wilson amassed 55 yards on
13 carries, scoring two touchdowns
in A&M’s 28-13 victory over Hawaii.
Lewis gained 117 yards on 24 car
ries, setting a school record with his
18th 100-yard game. He needs 1,130
yards this year to break former SMU
tailback Lrtc Dickerson s all-time
rushing mark.
“Wilson and Lewas are the best
one-two combination I’ve seen since
I’ve been here,” Stokley said. “A&M
is going to line up with two tight
ends and a flanker and just run the
football at us.”
USL’s defense, which is thin at the
linebacker spot, will be tested by the
Aggies’ running game. The Cajuns
lost starting sophomore linebacker
William Sims after he suffered an
ankle injury last week. Linebackers
Clifford Champ and Jonas Francois
are listed as doubtful. Both suffered
knee injuries during tw'o-a-days.
Still, Slocum said USL has a solid
front and experienced defensive
backs. And that is why the Aggies
coach worries about the Ragin’ Ca
juns and the possibility of an upset at
Kyle Field.
“Our players hear all week long
that from people that aren’t familiar
with USL that A&M will win and
that affects their mental prepera-
tion,” Slocum said. “On the other
hand, you’ve got a few isolated
voices in the wilderness — those
coaches saying the Cajuns are good.
“I just hope we’re heard over
those other voices.”

their final score of the game that
proved to be the difference.
“For me to jump up and stick my
finger in someone else’s face, that
should be against the rules,” Slocum
said. “But a kid who jumps up and
claps his hands or sticks his finger up
in the air or is high living or what
ever, to me that adds to the game.”
Slocum said he wants the Aggies
to continue their reckless style on de
fense. But there’s a fine line between
a high five and an unsportsmanlike
conduct call, and he wants his play
ers to know the difference.
“I don’t want our guys being
showboats,” Slocum said. “I want
our guys having fun. I want them to
be excited and I don’t want them to
be robots. Enthusiasm breeds enthu
siasm. It’s an emotional game, and
you’ve got to be in control.”
