Texas Ave. (next to Winn Dixie) College Station 693-0709 The Battalion Smith Continued from page 9 a guy like Walls and myself. I’m not the only guy out there who can inter cept the ball. (A&M safety) Larry Horton hasn’t gotten any intercep tions this year. What’s the deal?” Part of being a successful cor- nerback is being a successful actor. Smith said. Sometimes you have to lay back and give the receiver room to get open. That’s the only way the ball will be thrown your way. “You have to bait them,” Smith said. “You have to hook them before you can reel them in. If you’re all on top of the guy, then the quar terback’s not going to throw it. If it seems like he’s open, maybe he’ll throw the ball. Then you have a chance to break on the ball.” Still, at one point of the season. Smith said he thought his luck was running out. He gave up a touch down catch to Houston’s Manny Hazard in A&M’s 36-31 loss, and he said he began questioning his gam bling style. “Manny ran a good route and I bit on it,” he said. “At the time, I got dis couraged and covered him a little closer. I stopped inviting them to throw the ball to him.” But sometimes, he said, doubting your play is more dangerous than throwing the dice once too often. “I’ll get beaten again,” Smith said. “Sooner or later, it’ll happen. You forget your fundamentals when you worry all the time. It’ll take a guy who beats you for a touchdown to bring you back to earth. It’s disap pointing, but it shouldn’t get you mad. You’ve got to play harder.” Playing hard is something Smith has to do all the time in A&M’s man- to-man defensive scheme. And while Smith said man-to-man is a de fensive back’s dream coverage, it can be a nightmare to execute. “Man-to-man defense isn’t how well you cover guys, it’s how well you recover,” Smith said. “You’re behind him all the time. He knows where he’s going, but you don’t. Sometimes they’re faster than you and they al ways have a step on you.” That step is getting harder and harder to make up, Smith said. As offenses become more complex and ass-oriented, defensive backs are aving to adjust more and more — things he never has had to deal with it. “The older I’m getting, the more and more I’m learning about the de fensive back position,” Smith said. “Coming out of high school, it was easy to cover a guy because they didn’t know much. But the higher level you get, the wiser they get. It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what they’re thinking.” Tyson Continued from page 9 , The jury ruled Wednesday that Tyson grabbed Miller’s breasts and buttocks after she refused his ad vances. The finding that Tyson com mitted battery cleared the way for a determination of punitive damages. On Thursday, the jury heard that Tyson’s net worth was $15 million and listened to testimony from an other woman who claimed the boxer had reached under her dress on the same night as the Miller incident. Tyson has acknowledged that he was at Bentley’s that night but denies knowing or ever touching Miller, a 26-year old Queens computer oper ator. In testimony Thursday, Tyson also denied grabbing another wom an’s behind that same night at the club. U.S. District Court Judge Michael B. Mukasey allowed Miller’s attor ney, Alan Clark, to present testi mony about the other incident to show that his client’s claims were not isolated. The second woman, Lori Davis, testified that she felt someone clutch under her dress as she was dancing at Bentley’s. She turned and warned him not to try it again, she said. “Then it dawned on me that it was Mike Ty son. ... He was grabbing my butt. I felt humiliated, violated, disgraced and petrified.” Hierholzer Continued from page 9 where I feel comfortable, as if I’m doing a good job.” And she’s living with the identity crisis. “A lot of people still say, ‘Yvonne ... Yvonne ...,’ Hierholzer says. “I’m that blonde girl after Yvonne.” Throughout this season, Hier holzer has been a mold of consis tency. She is the quarterback of the Lady Aggie offense and the point guard of the A&M attack. And with 10 games remaining in her career as a Lady Aggie, she continues to set her sights nigh. “I just want to keep playing well and I’d like us to play better,” she says. “I’d like all of us, individually too, just to play our best the rest of the way. And for us to finish with a winning season.” Her performance has been a key in A&M’s elevated level of play this year. This season she broke a per sonal record in assists not once, but twice. The second time she recorded 65 assists against North Carolina State in the Aggie Classic. The total was just five short of Van Brandt’s school record of 70 set over three years ago. However, she says she couldn’t obtain any records were it not for the other players on the court. “I could set all I want, but if they don’t get the kills then I don’t get the assists either,” Hierholzer says. “They’re the ones putting the ball down for me.” Hierholzer said she has been play ing volleyball as long as she can re member. Growing up in Minnesota and Florida, her parents coached her and her brothers through years of club volleyball. It was just the be ginning of what has become a suc cessful experience for the Lady Ag gie who is rounding out her career at A&M. Hierholzer admits she would like to extend her time on the volleyball team. “A couple of years would be nice,” she says. “I’d like to be in the shoes of some of the underclassmen. “I look at them and think, ‘I’d like to be there.”’ Hierholzer says that, when she finishes college, she hopes to take up a career in teaching — both on and off the court. Outside of teaching the finer points of such works as “The Grapes of Wrath” and “Of Mice and Men,” Hierholzer hopes to be on the court in the afternoons coaching the vol leyball lessons she has been learning for years. Wherever it is, Hierholzer surely has “Great Expectations” for her fu ture. Game. Continued from page 9 game,” Slocum said. “We’ll go ahead and do whatever we have to do to win the ballgame and we’ll adjust to those other things if we can.” While the team may have trouble getting excited about playing the Mustangs, cornerback Kevin Smith said the game will still be somewhat of a challange. “It’s hard to get up for a team that’s not as successful,” Smith said. “But it’s a challenge for us defensive backs because they’ll be throwing 40 or 50 times a game. “That’s the kind of things we’re looking for — to get challenged throughout the game.” That challenge will come in the form of SMU quarterback Mike Romo, last year’s SWC Offensive Newcomer of the Year. Romo fin ished second in the SWC in total passing yards to Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware last year with 2,927 yards. This year, however, the signal- caller from San Antonio Roosevelt hasn’t been as productive, most no ticeably in last week’s 52-3 loss against Texas. Romo had career lows in all cat egories, completing ll-of-29 at tempts for 74 yards. He was sacked eight times. Romo’s streak of 12 con secutive games with at least one touchdown pass was broken. He did, however, move past Arkansas and NFL journeyman quarterback Joe Ferguson into 18th place on the all- time SWC passing leaders with 4,457 yards. Slocum said the Mustangs’ Run- and-Shoot is similar to the Houston Cougars’ offense, but the defense won’t be able to blitz at will. “They have a few different plays, but the overall preparation is very similar to what we would have against Houston,” Slocum said. “I think with them throwing the ball like they do, if you’re going to pres sure at all or blitz at all, you’re forc ing some man coverage situations. Anytime you do that, you can have a guy stumble or fall or a good throw and catch and you’re talking points on the board.” The Aggies must stay on the win- ning track to keep their championship hopes alive, but they also need help from outside sources — most notably the Cougars and the Texas Longhorns. Texas is in the driver’s seat at 3-0 in conference play, but the Long horns still must play Houston (6-0, but ineligible for the title), Texas Christian (3-1) —and A&M in what could be the deciding game Dec. 1. Should Texas end up with two losses, another team could stand in between the Aggies and the Cotton Bowl — Baylor. The Bears have the best remaining schedule with Arkan sas at home Nov. 10, and at Rice Nov. 17. But the big game will be when Texas travels to Waco for a Nov. 24 showdown. A&M would need Baylor to lose one of those games, because if it came down to a tie between the two, the Bears would go to the Cotton Bowl based on the fact that the Ag gies have the most recent appear ance. Slocum said he’s not surprised by how the race is shaping up. And while he’s not making any promises, he said not to count A&M out of the race yet. “(The SWC race) is about like I thought it would be,” Slocum said. “We’re one of those teams that are technically still in the race. Some other things are going to have to happen for us to have a chance to get in the middle of the race. “We’ve done enough that we’re still hanging in there and if some body else falters, then we may get new breath of life.” Page 11; NAILS & MORE Sculptured Nails....
