Lewis working
on unbreakable
rushing record
Analysis
By DENNE H. FREEMAN
of The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION (AP) —Re
cords may be made to be broken, but
Darren Lewis may be working on an
untouchable down here at Kyle
Field.
Lewis has become the Southwest
Conference’s career leading rusher,
although the feat went basically un
noticed with Horned Frog Fever
burning up the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex, David Klingler destroy
ing Arkansas with a seven-touch
down bombing run at the Astro
dome and the Longhorns’
rejuvenation in Austin.
With four games left, Lewis has
passed Eric Dickerson, Earl Camp
bell and James Gray, all three pretty
fair running backs, with 4,453 career
yards. Dickerson got 4,450 yards at
Southern Methodist, Campbell had
4,443 yards at Texas, and Gray had
4,066 yards at Texas Tech.
Lewis, who has averaged 141.5
yards per game this year, stands a
good chance of passing 5,000 yards.
It’s going to take quite a career to
wrest the SWC all-time rushing
crown from Lewis, who has aver
aged 1,250 yards for each of his four
seasons.
• Lewis has 24 career 100 yard
games. That’s durability. You have
to be built like a tank, which the 6-
foot, 220-pound Lewis is, thus his
nickname “Tank.”
• His 806 carries going to Satur
day’s game against Southern Meth

HOUSTON (AP) — Whatever

Olajuwon hobbled into last season
after missing five months of off-sea

“We had some adversity in this
training camp, with guys like Buck
Johnson, Vernon Maxwell and
Sleepy Floyd not being available all
the time,” Chaney said. “But those
things may be offset when you con
sider how much farther along
Akeem is over this time last year.
There’s no comparison.”
Maxwell sat out the preseason un
til the final game in a contract dis
pute and Floyd and Johnson were
slowed by injuries.
Olajuwon criticized the organiza
tion last season for its handling of
personnel and hinted he might re
quest a trade. He’s starting this sea

at Portland.
Olajuwon has had an outstanding
preseason that has Coach Don
Chaney predicting a super season
for his center.
“That’s the way I’m looking at it
too,” Olajuwon said. “I’m starting
my seventh year in the NBA, so the
experience factor is there. Physi
cally, I feel great and I’m playing
with a good team. It should be a fun
year.”
Olajuwon averaged more than 25
points and 12 rebounds during the
preseason, playing 10 minutes less
per game than he will in the regular
“T he people on this team can play
against anybody,” Olajuwon said.
Maxwell says he can contribute
immediately, despite not being in
top condition.
“I’m not in tip-top shape, but I
feel I’m in good shape,” Maxwell
said. “Whenever Don wants to put
me in there, I’ll give it all I’ve got.
There’s no problem.”
The addition of guard Kenny
Smith in the off-season also has been
a positive factor.
After opening the season at Port
land Friday and Seattle on Saturday,
the Rockets will play five of their
next six games in the Summit. They
host Denver in the home opener on
Tuesday.
