The 12-man team, selected in a nationwide vote of sports writers and broadcasters and based only on regular-season performances, is evenly divided with six National Leaguers and six American Leaguers. Three teams had two players each — the Pittsburgh Pirates’ dynamic outfield duo of Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla, the Chicago White Sox’s battery of catcher Carlton Fisk and relief pitcher Bobby Thigpen, and Oakland Athletics outfielder Rickey Henderson and right- handed pitcher Bob Welch. The team averaged almost 29 home runs, ranging from Fielder’s 51 for the Detroit Tigers to Barry Larkin’s seven for the World Series champion Cincinnati Reds. Sandberg led the NL in home runs with 40 for the Chicago Cubs and was the leading vote-getter with 165, only three shy of being unani mous. He and Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Dave Parker were the only repeaters from last year. Fielder led the majors with 51 homers and was an overwhelming selection at first base, receiving 130 votes to 16 for runnerup Eddie Mur ray of the Los Angeles Dodgers and 13 for AL batting champion George Brett of the Kansas City Royals. Fielder also had 26 votes for desig nated hitter, third behind Parker’s 78 and Brett’s 33. Bonds and Bonilla, who finished second and third in the outfield vot ing, each hit more than 30 homers, drove in more than 100 runs and scored more than 100 runs in lead ing the Pirates to the NL East title. Henderson was the top vote-getter in the outfield with 158 votes, while Bonds had 157 and Bonilla 68. Completing the team are San Francisco’s Matt Williams at third base and the New York Mets’ Frank Viola as the left-handed pitcher. Sandberg was named to the team for the third consecutive year and the fourth time in five years, and Parker was chosen for the second year in a row.

McCloud scored six of his 14 points in the final 29 seconds of the third quarter, when the Pacers took the lead for good. Houston led 98- 94 before McCloud hit a jumper and a free throw, then stole an inbounds pass and buried a 3-point shot with one second left in the period for a Lemmon Continued from page 7 NIGHT-TIME HEARTBURN STUDY Do you experience night-time heartburn?

Some are even comparing this year’s squad to the Aggie teams of the late 1970s that didn’t know how to win important games. This team is too talented to be wallow ing in medi ocrity, yet it is doing so at all confer ence levels. And yet, it’s the coaching staff that is coming under a lot of fire from many die-hard fans. Should they be pumping the team up, get ting on their butts with more inten sity and fire? I believe the young men that have the chance to go on and play college football are doing so for their own reasons. And if one of those reasons isn’t to be a winner, there is little a coach can do to motivate them. Many of the gripes have been aimed at offensive coordinator Bob Toledo —especially since the LSU game. But Bob is not the one fum bling the ball away and throwing the kind of interceptions Bob’s wife could throw. In defense of Toledo (pretty risky ground for me, considering I’m still not convinced of his capabilities), he hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to do much of anything with his offense in the second halves. That’s because the once-revered Wrecking Crew defense has allowed other offenses to become Racking Crews ... rolling up yards, eating up second-half minutes and keeping the Aggie offense off the field. Bucky Richardson is an option quarterback who is improving his passing capability. Although Lance Pavlas is supposed to have the stronger throwing arm, his release is nothing like that of Kevin Murray or Gary Kubiak. Bucky gets lucky too often and Lance gets read too easily. At the college level, coaches are there to help instill in the players a sense of execution and improve their ability to adapt to certain situa tions and circumstances. On the major college level it takes a lot of heart, desire and good, old- fashioned execution to win in front Randy Lemmon does freelance ra dio sports reports for Associated Press Radio, Texas.

Going into the Baylor game, the Aggies controlled their own desliny. Even if they had been blown out by Houston or lost by one point, they still controlled their destiny. But you didn’t get the impression they en joyed the control of their own fate in last weekend’s game. And even if they come out like world-beaters against Rice and say, “See, our offense and defense are capable of playing four quarters of good football,” they still must rely on other teams to help write their script for post-season play. And unless the Aggie players talk to each other and recommit them selves to playing hard-nosed, inspired football this week, the Ag gies will just be another building block in the revitilization of the Rice Owl football program. Texas football player arrested AUSTIN (AP) — A third, string offensive tackle on the 13th-ranked University of Texas football team surrendered topth lice Tuesday af ter an arrest war rant was issued alleging he was a possession of a controlled sub stance. Alan Luther, 21, a sophomore from Houston, posted a $5® hail. Police said the controlled sub stance was an anabolic steroid, the Austin American-Statesman reported. The charge, a Class B misde meanor, cat ries penalties of upto six months in jail and a $1,(! fine. Luther declined comment about the incident when released Tuesday night. T exas football Coach David McWilliams said after practice Tuesday that he knew Luther had been arrested but did not know it was for possession of ster oids. “1 knew it was for a controlled substance, but there are a lotol those,” McWilliams said. Texas men’s athletic director Del -oss Dodds said he felt confi dent that steroid use is not a team-wide problem. Bounce. Continued from page could be in for an unpleasant sur prise. “If we go out there againstRict not just wide open and around then we won't be able total them,” he said. “They’re playinga lot of the same players they had a year ago and that experience factor is showing. They’re a scrappy bund that’s playing with a bunch of coafr dence.” Not quite ready to throw in the towel, Slocum added that there it still a lot of football to be played that he is confident in his team’s ity to turn things around. “It’s never as good as it appears and it’s never as bad as it seems,' cum said. “We’ve just got to keepthe big picture in mind. “There are a lot of teams an the country in the same situation we’re in, so I’m not ready to go and jump off a cliff. We’ve just gouo im prove on our level of play.” Toledo Continued from page£ Those would belong to son, who still is learningToledo’sol- fense. Richardson underthrew an open Shane Garrett downfidd against Baylor, and an apparent touchdown turned into an intercep tion. “Bucky has to learn that overthrow a short pass, and yo» don’t underthrow a long one,” Td ledo said. “He’s not a total quar terback yet because he doesn’t un derstand those things. If he is too tight, often it’s because he’s confused about whether to run or throw lit football. “If you’re going to be a passer throw the football. But it’s like Itel him: if guys are covered, run,-f quarterback’s going to throw incomplete passes, and he’s throw interceptions. He has to confidence in his ability. We he can run the ball.” Such is the knock on A&M terbacks: Richardson is the runner Pavlas the passer. But what isn'i common knowledge is that Richard son can pass — he had better stabs tics than UH’s David Klingler enter ing the fourth quarter of the M game —and Pavlas can run All Toledo and Slocum needisfe one of them to move the offensed fectively throughout the game.Th 1 ’ four-quarter quarterback has yeti® emerge for A&-M this season. “It’s not like we’re not movingb* ball or not scoring points,” Toled 1 said. “We’re going to be fine, Putbnf Bucky in gave us extra running the backfield. We’ve made soi long runs on the option. We've got to cut down on turnovers.' Bucky to cut it loose and don't won 1 about the flak — I’ll take that."
