Wnh basketball season looming in the background, I feel it’s time to go ahead and get a few things out in the open. As many are aware, Texas A&M will start from scratch this year. The team has a new coach in Kermit Davis Jr., eight new players and a new 6th Man tradi tion. The Aggies last winning record in the Southwest Con ference was 12-4 in 1986, and with all this newness around there’s not much that says that will change this year. But then again who’s to say this bunch, which averages only 6-4, won’t play good de fense and jell offensively into a good team? Didn’t Texas make it to the NCAA Fi nal Eight last year without a pure front line player, a tenacious offense and a pressing defense — a situation similar to what A&M finds itself in this year? The only problem here is the Longhorns had two NBA draft picks in Travis Mays (Sacramento) and Lance Blanks (De troit), the Aggies don’t have that kind of talent yet. The Aggies play a tough schedule this year, playing eight teams that went to the NCAA Tournament and three from the NIT Tournament. Fact of the matter is A&M could have a half decent season or it could get downright ugly in G. Rollie White this season. Either way, the team will need more than the average support it gets each season at G. Rollie White. This is a rag tag bunch that will sometimes be held to gether with glue and trainer’s tape, but the action should be exciting. Davis was hired on March 28, late in the recruiting season, and jumped in right away trying to scrape up what was left in the pool of recruits. Given his late See Pils/Page 8 Cougars want national title UH eyes No. 1 as it awaits UT HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Cou gars lined up as the No. 3 team in the na tion Tuesday, but coach John Jenkins said he’s more concerned about the season's wind up. “We re a rock’s throw of winning the na tional championship with three games re maining and the greatest opportunity for us comes Saturday,” Jenkins said. “It’s not the lineup that counts, it’s where you wind up.” The Cougars (8-0) are the only NCAA Division I unbeaten, untied team in the na tion and they’ll carry a 12-game winning streak, the longest in the nation, into Satur day’s game against No. 14 Texas (6-1). Houston is 7-0 and Texas is 4-0 in South west Conference games. “We take it as a challenge that all of the voters (in the Associated Press poll) are out there saying, ‘Not so fast, we’ll see if you’re the No. 1 team on Saturday, show us,”’Jen kins said. “That’s the message I’ll relay to the squad so let’s tee it up and let it hap pen.” Houston is in the final year of a three- year NCAA probation sentence that will prevent them from playing in a bowl game but Jenkins thinks it would be good for the SWC for the Cougars to win the national ti tle. “The greatest thing that could happen to this league would be for Houston to win the national title and for the Cotton Bowl rep resentative to have a good showing,” Jen kins said. Houston has beaten Texas 60-40, 66-15 and 47-9 the past three years and Jenkins has special memories of the Cougars’ 60-40 victory in 1987. “This offense (run-and-shoot) finally took its place against Texas in 1987,” Jen kins said. “That was the beginning of this era. Since that time we’ve had a 29-5-1 re cord. I guess we have a sentimental attach ment to this game, like a reunion.” Jenkins said he has a job to do in getting his team ready to play the Longhorns. “These players have never lost to Texas and they’ve won convincingly every time,” Jenkins said. “My job is to make sure every step they take is directed to doing the same thing.” The Cougars’ No. 3 ranking is their high est since they reached a No. 2 ranking in M. MULVEY/The Battalion Houston, the nation’s only unbeaten, untied team, now has its sights set for a national title. Coach John Jenkins said the Cougars should be ranked No. 1. the AP poll in 1967. They beat Michigan State 37-7, achieving a No. 3 rank and rose to No. 2 the following week with a 50-6 victory over Wake Forest. Houston lost to North Carolina State the following week and finished the season with a 7-3 record and No. 16 ranking. “We’re not worried about it,” wide re ceiver Manny Hazard said. “The only thing we’re worrying about is winning these last three games and going 11-0.” Houston will close out the season with non-conference games against Eastern Washington and Arizona State. The Cougars were placed on probation in 1988 for violations that occurred during the tenure of former Coach Bill Yeoman. The Cougars were unable to appear on live television last year under terms of the pro bation. Barnes says he never used steroids Aaaoclated Fre»a Two U.S. world record-holders for mer Texas A&M track star Randy Barnes and runner Butch Reynolds — accused track and field’s worldwide bosses of shoddy drug testing procedures in the sport’s biggest drug oust since Ben John son. While awaiting word Tuesday on when they can appeal the positive test results, both face two-year suspensions that could keep them out of the 1992 Summer Olym pics at Barcelona. f Johnson was stripped of his 100-meter old medal for using steroids at the 1988 eoul Games and has just come off a two- year suspension. In light of a growing antidrug movement within the sport, the general secretary of the International Amateur Athletic Feder ation, John Holt, said the IAAF was “stag gered” and “very disappointed that these two great names are now on the doping list.” Both Barnes and Reynolds flunked ini tial drug tests after meets last August as well as the backup tests administered as a fail safe, the IAAF said in announcing the sus pensions on Monday from London. The IAAF is the world governing body of track and field. “In six years of competition, I have never taken any prohibited substance,” Barnes said in an affidavit submitted Tuesday to The Athletics Congress, the U.S. governing body for track and field. “I have been subjected to dope tests on approximately 30 occasions since 1985 and have always tested negatively. I have always submitted to and passed every dope test ad ministered to me, including random and 48-hour tests.” Barnes holds the world record in the shot put. A statement signed by Richard A. Hol lander, chairman of the grants committee for TAG, indicates Barnes’ urine samples weren’t sealed in his presence in violation of IAAF rules and that control numbers used on the seal were added later, another viola tion.
