I LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) - Nick
ftddo got wet. Jack Nicklaus got
Ktsy. And, finally, Curtis Strange
lit a victory.
■ “It’s always great to beat the best
layer in the world,” Strange said af-
he’d gone four extra holes Sun-
ay to subdue Nick Faldo of En-
land in golfs Skins Game.
Strange, whose last official victory
ime in the 1989 U.S. Open, assured
imself of another appearance in
ie four-man, two-day, made-for-
ilevision 18-hole event.
He defended his Skins Game title
ith $220,000 in earnings, almost as
iuch as Strange made in a slump-
Idden season that had him finishing
distant 53rd on the 1990 money-
linning list.
Perhaps more important, he came
i' jut of a six-month slump with some
""his best golf of the year.
“Now I can relax, get ready for ’91
d have something positive to think
ut,” Strange said.
He also has some good fortune to
link about: a fairway shot that
estled in close to the flag while
[trange was scolding a photogra
pher for snapping his camera dur
ing the golfer’s backswing; a bare
foot shot from the rocks that set up a
critical birdie; and in the end, Fal
do’s mistake on the fourth playoff
hole.
With $70,000 at stake and Nick
laus and Norman eliminated from
the playoff, Faldo hit a 6-iron second
shot in the water on the 18th hole.
1 hat set it up for Strange to play
safely to the middle of the green and
two-putt from long range for a win
ning par.
Norman, like Faldo making his
first appearance in this event, won a
total of four skins and $90,000.
Nicklaus, the only man to play in
all eight Skins Games, was shut out
in Saturday’s first nine holes. He
won two skins and $70,000 with a 2-
putt par on the 14th hole when
Strange missed a 6-footer for par.
“I played a little better, but noth
ing stellar,” Nicklaus said. “I won
when the other guys messed up.”
He also had a chance to pick up
another $35,000 with a 4-foot birdie
putt on the 17th hole. But Nicklaus
backed away from the putt when an
ant crawled on his ball, marked it,
removed the insect and then missed
the putt.
Faldo, winner of the Masters and
British Open this season, won
$70,000 Saturday but did not win a
skin over the last day’s play. He said
he had stomach flu overnight.
Norman opened up birdie-birdie
Sunday, winning $25,000 with a 10-
foot putt on the 10th hole. His birdie
on the 11th was matched by Strange
and the $25,000 prize was carried
over to the 12th.
Strange won there, collecting
$50,000 with an 8-foot birdie putt.
Nicklaus was the next winner, on
the 14th.
Strange won the next hole with a
12-foot putt and Norman won the
next with a 15-footer.
The 17th and 18th were tied, set
ting up the playoff, and Strange’s
adventures in and on the rocks.
His drive on the next hole came to
rest among some boulders fronting
the water on the left.
“I thought it was all over,” he said.
Blazers launch
assault on Spurs
to stay unbeaten
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
Clyde Drexler and Kevin Duck
worth hit a combined 13 of 14
shots as the Portland Trail Blaz
ers shot a blistering 88 percent in
the first period and remained the
NBA’s only unbeaten team by de
feating the San Antonio Spurs
117-103 Sunday night for a club-
record 11th consecutive victory.
Drexler was 7-of-8 for 15
points, plus four blocks, and
Duckworth 6-of-6 for 12 points as
the Trail Blazers (11-0) bolted to
a 49-18 lead by sinking 22 of 25
shots and tied the club record for
points in a period. Terry Porter
had 10 of his 16 assists in the pe
riod.
Duckworth wound up with 22
points, Porter 21 and Drexler 20,
plus a season-high 14 rebounds.
David Robinson led San Antonio,
which had won four in a row,
with 26 points. He scored 9 in the
third period when the Spurs ral
lied to 68-61.

“Coming out, we knew that all we
Jeally needed to do was keep pound
ing and pounding at them,” Thomas
id. “Hopefully, sooner or later,
ey would fold in, which they did in
e later part of the second half. I
think they changed up the offense.
“(Vogler) wouldn’t really try to
row it downfield like he has in
;ames before. He was throwing
nick outs and quick passes, and I
ink that was in respect of our de-
ifense.”
Vogler came into the game with a
parated left shoulder and played
jaliantly until the third quarter,
l/hen he gave way to Darren Schultz,
I cornerback turned quarterback be-
lause of TCU’s injury problems.
While the Horned Frogs’ Triple
hoot could never get off the
round, the Aggies nearly were
nstoppable, rolling up 537 yards,
'hat gives the team 5,304 yards,
reaking the old school record of
(4,842 yards set in 1986.
A&M’s record-breaking tailback
barren Lewis continued his march
ward 5,000 yards as he rushed for
113 yards on 23 carries, scoring on
touchdown runs of one, three and
[two yards. Lewis no^ ’Has 1,541

touchdowns (16 total).
He needs 101 yards against Texas
this week to pass Oklahoma State’s
Gerald Hudson of Waxahachie to
lead the NCAA in rushing this year.
More importantly, with 138 yards he
will top 5,000 yards. Tony Dorsett,
Archie Griffin, Herschel Walker and
Charles White are the only other Di
vision I backs to have topped the
mark.
A&M played all three of its quar
terbacks, and all turned in stellar
performances with no interceptions.
Junior starter Bucky Richardson
scored two touchdowns and threw
for another, a 24-yard scoring strike
to senior wideout Cornelius Patter
son. For the day, Richardson com
pleted six-of-10 passes for 127 yards
and he rushed for 56 yards on 11
carries.
Senior quarterback Lance Pavlas
completed eight-of-10 for 118 yards
and sophomore Kent Petty was two-
of-four, including a 34-yard touch
down pass to senior Felton Ransby.
The pass provided the game’s final
56-10 margin and the most contro
versy.
The touchdown came on a fourth-
and-14 from the TCU 34-yard line
with only 43 seconds remaining in
the game. Horned Frog head coach
Jim Wacker was not pleased with the
Aggies’ decision to air it out with a
big lead.
“I’m real glad they scored that last
touchdown,” Wacker said. “That was
a very important call. Each coach has
to do what he feels he has to do. But
let me tell you —those things are re
membered. There’ll be another day
in the sun.”
Slocum said he wasn’t trying to
run up the score, especially since he
took Richardson and tailback Dar
ren Lewis out of the game in the
third quarter.
“I had the third-team quar
terback, a walk on receiver, our
third-team tailback and linemen who
had never played in a game before,”
Slocum said. “It’s the first time some
of those guys have even got to play,
so to say don’t try to score is kind of
hard to do.”
Wacker’s complaints about run
ning up the score were hard to be
lieve, Slocum said.
“We were playing walk on players
in the fourth quarter,” he said. “I’d
be embarrassed to complain about
someone running the score up on
me when they’re playing their third
team.”

game, said he was happy with the
way the team played, and that they
were getting ready for Texas.
“We came out very focused,” Le
wis said. “We worked hard this week
in practice this week and it’s nice to
go out with a bang.
“We’re going to have to practice
hard this week and play some hard-
nosed football because Texas is play
ing on a higher level this year.”
The Longhorns clinched their
first Cotton Bowl berth in seven
years with a 23-13 victory over the
Baylor Bears on Saturday. Even
though both teams’ postseason tilts
are already locked up, the rivalry be
tween the two schools will lend itself
to providing a hard-fought game.
Slocum said he was pleased with
his team’s overall performance
against TCU and he awaits the
Texas game with great anticipation.
“We had a good performance
from the entire team,” Slocum said.
“I’m especially proud of the seniors.
They’ve provided great thrills and
memories throughout their careers.
We’ll miss them.
“Texas has a very good football
team,” Slocum said. “They’re play
ing with a lot of confidence and mo
tion. It’ll be a big challenge, but
we’re looking forward to it.”
