SMU’s Gregg
says he’ll step
down as coach
DALLAS (AP) — Forrest Gregg
said Tuesday night he will step down
as Southern Methodist
coach after
Saturday’s sea-
s o n finale
against Arkan
sas, and will
remain on as
the school’s
athletic direc
tor.
“This was a
difficult deci
sion for me
and my family,
and I came
Forrest Gregg
back to SMU because we care deeply
about the university,” said Gregg, a
lineman for the Mustangs in 1953-
55.
Gregg said a search for his succes
sor as football coach would begin im
mediately. He refused to name any
possibilities. “I hope to have a coach
in place as soon as possible,” he said.
Gregg, who coached the Cleve
land Browns, Cincinnati Bengals
and Green Bay Packers in the NFL,
was named Southern Methodist
coach in January 1988. He brought
the Mustangs back from the NCAA
death penalty, stemming from a
slush fund scandal during the mid-
1980s.
In April, Gregg also became ath
letic director, replacing Doug Single,
who resigned to take a post with the
Special Olympics in Washington,
D.C.
Gregg assumed the dual role with
the stipulation that he relinquish his
coaching duties after this season.
That requirement later changed, so
that he would have to give up one
position or the other.
“I feel that I can have a greater
impact on the overall future of the
SMU athletic program as director of
athletics,” Gregg said.
“My one regret is that I won’t be
able to coach these young men we
brought in, for their entire college
careers.”
But, he said, “When I accepted
the position as athletic director, it
was with the stipulation that I would
give up coaching.
“I am fulfilling that commitment,”
Gregg said. “I feel that my decision
is what’s best for the university.”
The Mustangs went 2-9 last year,
and are 1-9 this season. They have
lost a school-record nine straight
games and have yet to win a South
west Conference matchup since the
program was reinstated.
Gregg was All-SWC in 1954 and
1955, when he was captain. He was
an assistant coach for the San Diego
Chargers in 1972-73 and an assistant
for the Browns in 1974, before be
coming head coach for Cleveland
from 1975-77.
In 1979, Gregg coached the To
ronto Argonauts of the Canadian
Football League, but returned to the
NFL to coach the Bengals from
1980-83. He coached Green Bay
from 1984-1987.
Astros’ Stubbs
receives contract
HOUSTON (AP) — Franklin
Stubbs, the Houston Astros’
home run and RBI leader last
season, has received a 3-year
guaranteed contract offer from
another club, Stubbs’ agent said
Monday.
“The Astros are not willing to
do that,” Stubbs’ agent Jim
Turner told KRIV-TV. “It is
going to be very difficult for
Franklin Stubbs to return to
Houston.”

A&M basketball teams face
tough weekend tournaments
By NADJA SABAWALA
Of The Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M men’s and wom
en’s basketball teams will have a
short Thanksgiving holiday as both
have tough tournament weekends
ahead.
The men’s team travels to Cincin
nati, Ohio to take part in the Bearcat
Classic while the women’s team hosts
the Domino’s Pizza/Holiday Inn
Classic in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Aggie men are one of four
teams in the Bearcat Classic. Cincin
nati, Kent State and Sam Houston
State round out the field.
“Kent State will be a good test,”
said A&M coach Kermit Davis Jr.
“They were an NIT team last year.
And it’s in Ohio, where they’re from,
so it’ll be tough for us.”
Davis said the team’s zone defense
needs to be better and they must
work on offensive execution. In the
exhibition season, the Aggies went 2-
0, defeating St. Petersburg AAU,
104-67,and the New Zealand Na
tional Team, 92-72.
“We got what we wanted to from
the exhibition season,” Davis said.
“We got an idea of how the team
performs and what needs work.”
While the men’s team is battling
out-of-state, the A&M women’s team
hosts Eastern Washington in the first
round of the Domino’s Pizza Classic
Friday at 8 p.m., however the first
match of the tournament features
Oklahoma and Washington State at
6 p.m.
A&M dropped its first game, 86-
72, to the Olympic Hopefuls in an
exhibition match Nov. 13 in G.
Rollie White.
Lady Aggie head coach Lynn
Hickey said after the loss that the
team has many areas to work on and
improve.
“Offensively, we got shots,”
Hickey said. “I think it’s just a matter
that qwill improve with some playing
experience.
“I think the two biggest keys are
defense and hitting the boards.”
OTHER NOTES: Twylana Harri
son, a 5-10 forward from Levelland,
signed a national letter-of-intent
with the Lady Aggies.

BOSTON (AP) — Roger Clemens
was suspended for the first five
f ames of next season and fined
10,000 Tuesday for behavior which
led to the Boston pitcher’s ejection
from the last game of the American
League playoffs.
The penalty announced by AL
president Bobby Brown will force
the Red Sox star to miss one start. It
came a week after he earned a
$50,000 bonus for finishing second
in the AL Cy Young Award voting
and on the same day he earned an
other $50,000 for finishing third in
the AL Most Valuable Player voting.
Although Clemens can appeal,
Red Sox general manager Lou Gor
man said, “Dr. Brown’s statement
and subsequent fine and suspension
of Roger Clemens speaks for itself.
Although we are not in agreement
with the severity of the league’s ac
tion, we are satisfied that the issue
has been addressed.”
Clemens was ejected by plate um
pire Terry Cooney in the second in
ning of Oakland’s 3-1 victory that
completed the A’s four-game sweep
Oct. 10.
In his announcement, Brown
cited Clemens for making “... signifi
cant physical contact with an umpire
(Jim Evans), for threatening umpire
Cooney, for verbally abusing umpire
Cooney with personal obscenities
and for not leaving the dugout im
mediately after the ejection.”
Clemens was not immediaie
available for comment.
Last season, Clemens led il«
league for the second timeinearf
run average with a 1.93 markJ:
was 21-6, the second winningestsfr
son of his career.
He Finished second to Oaklanc
Bob Welch in the Cy Young ballfi
ing. Clemens won the award in I9i :
and 1987 and was most valrf
player in 1987.
Although Boston surprised pt f
season predictors by winning the '
East, the season ended on a sc
note for the team and its st*
pitcher.
The altercation occurred afa
Clemens walked Willie Randolph
giving the A’s, who led 1-0, runntf
on first and third. Cooney ap ;
Clemens got into a shouting mate
and Clemens, trying to get closer J
Cooney, bumped Evans.
Cooney said he told Clemens,
hope you’re not shaking your ht
at me. He said, ‘if you want to talk
me, take your mask off.’ By men'
removing my mask and not gett
into a verbal thing with him, that"'
my way of warning him.”
“I was looking down,” Genre:
said. “I saw (Cooney’s) throat guar ;
moving, so he was saying somethin!
He thought I was talking to him
told him, Tm not shaking mv
head at you. The problem was nf|
with you.’ ”
