Rollie White Coliseum ... the second would be not hav ing to play any teams ranked in the Top 20. The Texas A&M volleyball team made their second road trip of the season last weekend. After a scenic but rough vacation to Hawaii to play the former second-ranked Wahines, the Lady Aggies ventured to Nebraska to face three of the nation’s toughest teams in the Baden-Mizuno Invitational. Friday night the Lady Aggies were crushed by No. 1 Nebraska, 15-0, 15-3, 15-3. Saturday didn’t get much better as A&M was de feated by No. 20 Wyoming 15-13, 15-7, 17-15. Later that day, Purdue blew past the Lady Aggies 15-0, 15-3, 15-9. A&M was blanked in the first game of the match when Nebraska outside attarker Fileen Shannon made six kills in six attempts. The Lady Aggies had not been shut out in a game for almost three years before Fri day’s match. The First point of the match for A&M was marked by Sheila Morgan and Amy Kisling who combined for a block, making the score 3-1 in the second game. The Buskers ran off six points to open the third game before Lady Aggie Raychelle Michalke came in to serve and hit a winner, followed by a service ace to make the score 6-2. A&M’s Genny Wood posted a kill but it wasn’t enough to heighten the Aggies chances. A&M made it a little tougher on the Wyoming Cow girls Saturday. Michalke lead the Lady Aggies with seven kills as Wyoming had to come from behind in two of the three games to pass A&M. LAter Saturday, Purdue ran off 23 straight points before the Lady Aggies got on the board. A&M’s Amy Gumings lead the team with eight kills before they lost the third match of the weekend. The 2-6 L.ady Aggies play their next match on the road Thursday against Lamar University in Beaumont. Aggies Continued from page 8 ame," Offensive Coordinator Boh Toledo said. “It was an incredible ;ame played by a hunch of kids who vanteu to prove that they were a iretty good offensive football team.” If anyone had any doubts about hat, they were quickly erased in the irst quarter when the Aggies put up >1 points. The highlight was a 68- /ard touchdown pass from Pavlas to ihane Garrett on a “blast pass.” It was the same play the two ouldn’t convert in last year’s 23-22 oss to Arkansas. Pavlas faked the landoff to Lewis and stood in the ackfield with the ball behind his lack. When the USL safety took the ake and moved toward the offen- iveline, Pavlas threw downfield to nopen Garrett. “We’ve never been 2-0 since I’ve leen here,” Pavlas said. “I’d like to nake it three.” If No. 12 A&M continues to play he way it has in the first two games, :may make it well past three. Two op 10 teams lost Saturday — No. 4 lichigan and No. 9 Colorado. With its impressive win over pre- lously unbeated USL, the Aggies could break into the Top 10 for the first time since 1988. The Associated Press poll is released today. “This is what we’ve been waiting for,” backup quarterback Bucky Richardson said. “We’ve been wait ing to have this kind of game. We’re tired of being a couple of games short and a couple of points short.” That hasn’t oeen a problem this season for A&M, who through two games has outscored its opponents 91-26. The Aggies dominated the first half against Hawaii in the sea son opener, but looked flat in the second. A&M was well prepared not to let a second-half letdown occur. The coaches have been preaching to us the past two weeks that we can’t let up,” center Mike Arthur said. T he Aggies didn’t, a fact which wasn’t lost upon USL. “We came out ready to play, but obviously right off it looked like A&M was ready to play,” USL quar terback Tyjuan Hayes said. “Our de fense gave up some big plays, and our offense wasn’t able to execute. A&M has a great club. That’s why they’re 12thi anked.” Softball Continued from page 8 >y fanner : road, ible.” team, i show. .

IOC president proposes games ‘Olympic truce’ TOKYO (AP) — An “Olympic truce” to heal the world’s wounds was proposed Sunday by the head of the International Olympic: Committee. IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch said the Games should “become the privileged fo rum for the encounter, reflection and action of the rising forces of our world.” The address, which opened the IOC‘s annual meeting, broke little new ground but touched upon the sports impact of the Middle East crisis, the economic and political problems facing the Soviet Union and Eastern Eu rope, efforts to end apartheid in South Africa and the spread of drugs throughout society. Tne IOC, with 167 member nations, was the perfect umbrella under which answers could be found to such problems, Sama ranch said. “By establishing between them a kind of Olympic truce in keep ing with the hopes and needs of our time, these rising forces could come together beneath the sym bol of the five interlinked rings to make a reality of those values ceaselessly proclaimed and cease lessly called into question: free dom, the greater welfare of all, solidarity and peace," he said. Japanese Emperor Akihito for mally opened the session. Earlier, Prime Minister Toshihi Kaifu asked the IOC’s executive board to support the bid of Nagano, Ja pan for the 1998 Winter Games. That vote comes next year. dy to back ick /is Mays, who University oi i, says he’s re- lento Kings. ;s and all the rom the draft ’s going to be a ling together finding a real to be success- m which wen; ling scorer in ice, signed a :he Kings Pri sed, but it’s re tta said, Tw you get a first- feeling, w that Travis ed.
