Super move expected
PHOENIX (AP) — The 1993 Super Bowl, the first ever granted to Arizona,
is only an NFL owner’s vote away from being moved to Pasadena or San
Diego, NFL vice president Joe Browne said Tuesday.
“It ain’t over ’til it’s over, so we’ll do our best to keep the game in Phoe
nix,” William R. Shover, chairman of the non-profit group, said. “You must
remember that the commissioner does not have a vote. All he can do is rec
ommend.
“We’re preparing a new presentation that we’re taking to Hawaii with
us.” Shover added.
Pasadena and San Diego officials have been told to submit bids during
the annual NFL owners meeting in mid-March in Hawaii, Browne said from
New York.
He said Commissioner Paul Tagliabue wanted “to allow Arizona to con
tinue its long-time political debate over a Martin Luther King holiday with
out the Super Bowl as a factor.”
Arizona voters on Nov. 6 rejected a paid state holiday in honor of King,
who was assassinated in April 1968.
The 51 percent to 49 percent loss confounded pre-election polls, and
surveys later showed that many voters decided to vote “no” when CBS
sportscaster Greg Gumbel announced during the “NFL Today” show on
Nov. 4 that Tagliabue would recommend moving the 1993 title game if the
King Day movement failed.
Arizona observes an unpaid state holiday for King on the third Sunday
of each January, and Phoenix and Tempe are among 21 Arizona cities
which give their employees a day off with pay on the following Monday.
But Tagliabue made it clear after the election that nothing short of a
paid state holiday would do.
“Many of our players regard Martin Luther King as a role model. We’re
encouraging them to be role models, and I think it would be unfair to ask
them to go play their championship game in that state,” he told reporters in
Knoxville, Tenn., on Nov. 9.
Phoenix Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill, whose team plays in 74,800-seat
Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, couldn’t be reached for comment.
Razorbacks steamroll Frogs
FORT WORTH (AP) — The No. 2-
ranked Arkansas Razorbacks, led by
guards Todd Day and Lee May
berry, hit 13 of their first 17 shots to
roll to a 93-73 Southwest Confer
ence victory over Texas Christian
University Tuesday.
Arkansas (16-1, 5-0) defeated the
Horned Frogs (11-3, 3-1) in Daniel-
Meyer Coliseum for the first time in
three years. It was the Hogs’ 13th
consecutive victory.
Day, who had a school-record 11
consecutive games of 20 points or
better, led Arkansas with 19 points.
Mayberry had 16 points for the de
fending SWC champion Hogs.
Arkansas, which had lost five of its
last six games in Fort Worth, fell be
hind 2-0 then went on a scoring blitz
that had TCU down 16-4 before the
Frogs could recover.
Guard Michael Strickland scored
23 points, including five 3-pointers
for the Horned Frogs.
Reggie Smith added 18 points for
the losers.
Allegations.
“I really don’t think that’s affected
them,” Davis said. “I think it affects
coaches just from the trial and trib
ulation it puts your family and you
through. I personally don’t think
our guys dwell on that. I think they
just come out ready to play.
“Tony Scott wasn’t the reason we
got beat at SMU. We just didn’t play
hard and weren’t ready to play.”
The allegations center around a
talent scout named Rob Johnson, of
New York, who reportedly aided
Scott’s transfer to A&M.
According to Todd Lightly, one
of the two authors of the story in the
Post-Standard, Johnson has been in
volved with helping Syracuse players
transfer out of the school for years.
Johnson’s activities with Syracuse
players is also noted in the book Raw
Recruits written by Sports Illus
trated reporter Alex Wolff and for
mer SI reporter Armen Keteyian.
He is also named in the allegations
that are pending against the Syra
cuse basketball team.
A story published in the Sunday
edition of the Dallas Times Herald,
listed the specific allegations that ap
ply to A&M. They were that the uni
versity:
• twice paid for Johnson to travel
to College Station.
• paid for his stay at a hotel on
one occasion.
• paid for 600 long-distance
phone calls from Johnson’s apart
ment (a number Lightly says is up to
800).
• paid for Johnson to attend
Scott’s official visit.
• paid Johnson $2,400 for two
weeks work during Davis’ basketball
camp in June.
Davis rebutted these charges say-
Continued from page 9
ing they were one sided and that
Scott recanted all of his accusations
in a phone conversation a week and
a half ago.
“We feel very good about what
our staff has done,” Davis said.
“Tony Scott has retracted all his
statements. He says they weren’t
true, and we knew they weren’t.”
The fact that Scott retracted all his
statements surprised Lightly.
“We’ve got taped conversations
between Scotf and Johnson, so I
don’t see how Scott can say those
conversations didn’t happen,”
Lightly said. “It bothers me that
Scott would recant, because we
talked to him 10-12 times. It wasn’t
just a one time deal.”
Davis said that anything dealing
with Johnson is well documented
and that the university has nothing
to worry about.
“Sometimes people get tried in
the media without knowing all the
facts,” he said. “There’s documenta
tion to the phone calls we have.
There’s documentation to the so-
called extra money Rob Johnson got
paid for camp. It’s documented that
he got paid just like the other
coaches were paid and that docu
mentation will come out in the inves
tigation.
“That’s the crazy side of the media
sometimes. Something comes out of
a one-sided story that doesn’t have
all the facts. But when you get in
public situations, something like that
doesn’t surprise me.”
Scott has yet to return from his
home in Rochester, New York, and
Davis said Scott’s future at A&M
would be left up to the Department
of Student Affairs.

Robinson may face duty
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The
possibility of San Antonio Spurs
center David Robinson being
called to active military duty ap
pears to be growing with the
threat of war looming in the Per
sian Gulf.
Robinson, a Navy reservist who
waited two years to join the NBA
while finishing a Navy commit
ment, said Monday he has heard
nothing regarding his reserve sta
tus in light of the war possibility.
But ne added that in wartime
anything can happen. ’
“I’m just watching the news
like everyone else,” the 7-1 center
said.
Robinson scored 26 points and
pulled down nine rebounds for
the Spurs in Tuesday night’s
game against the Utah Jazz.
Robinson’s Naval expertise is
architecture, specifically design
ing and building runways.
A high-ranking officer at the
San Antonio Naval Reserve Cen
ter who asked not to be identified
said Robinson is not exempt from
being called.
“He has not been identified for
service this week,” the officer
said, but added that the office is
“very aware” of Robinson’s status.
Asked whether Robinson’s
chances of being called up would
increase if war broke out, the offi
cer replied: “I’m certain they
would.
Boy given special glove
BROWNWOOD (AP) — Shane
Wood, 13, was born without hands,
but he always wanted to play base
ball.
He learned to hit a baseball by
holding the bat with the stumps of
both arms.
Now, for the first time, the teen
ager also can catch one, with the
help of a lacrosse-style glove.
News stories about his love for
baseball and frustration over being
able to hit the ball but not catch it at
tracted the interest of a sad-
dlemaker, Jake Harrison, who felt
that he could design a glove that
would work.
“I decided to make Shane a spe
cial glove so he could play the game
he so loved,” Harrison said. “It
wasn’t done overnight. I tried three
different types of gloves before I
came up with what I wanted.”
Harrison is familiar with the game
of lacrosse, which is played with a
racket resembling a basket attached
to the end of a stick. Lacrosse players
catch a ball and throw it from the
basket without touching the ball with
their hands or fingers.
“In effect, the glove I made for
Shane will do exactly the same
thing,” Harrison told the Fort Wort
Star-Telegram.
It took him about three months t
design the right pattern, but once h
found what he thought would worl
it took only eight hours to complete.
The model is made with 10-ounc
oil tan leather lined with sheepskir
A bicycle chain on the back serves a
a support, much like a spine. The fn
ting on the end of Shane’s arm i
lined with sheepskin fleece becaus
wool absorbs perspiration and cai
be removed and washed.
“If the glove works with Shane,
am thinking of creating more of thi
type glove to fit other handicappei
children, as well as trying to come u;
with other special sporting good
such as an apparatus that will mak
it easier for handicapped children t
use a bat,” Harrison said.
Shane is the son of Dana Perry 0
Brownwood, a Central Texas cit
about 150 miles northwest of Austin
His junior high principal, Rolam
Graves, said: “He never lets hi
handicap stand in his way. He doe
just about everything the other stu
dents do and usually masters an
obstacles in his path.”
Wingate’s trial postponed
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) —
David Wingate may rejoin the San
Antonio Spurs, now that his trial for
rape has been postponed.
On Monday, Howard County Cir
cuit Judge Raymond Kane Jr. post
poned Wingate’s scheduled April 1
trial to Aug. 5 over the objection of
the prosecutor.
f Kane granted the delay after
Wingate’s attorney said the San An
tonio Spurs have indicated they
would rehire him if he can play the
rest of the NBA season without in
terruption by a trial.
The judge said he was influenced
by defense attorney Philip Arm
strong’s claim that a delay would al
low Wingate to work and pay his le
gal fees.
Wingate is free on $10,000 bail.
Armstrong said that Wingate, 27,
has reached a settlement that will re
sult in the dismissal of civil and crim
inal charges pending against him in
Texas. A 22-year-old woman there
claimed Wingate met her at a San
Antonio night club and raped her on
the way to his house.
There has been no confirmation
that the civil suit has been cleared.
Armstrong told the court that dis
cussions have taken place in connec
tion with the Howard County case,
in which a 17-year-old Baltimore girl
said she was raped Sept. 16 at Wing
ate’s Columbia apartment.
Armstrong said the talks “may re
sult in the disposition of the case
without a trial.”
Prosecutor Kate O’Donnell said
the state plans to try Wingate for sec
ond-degree rape.
Wingate appeared in court Mon
day and agreed to the postpone
ment.
Wingate declined comment.
Wingate was the Spurs’ top re
serve guard last season and came
with in 48 hours of signing a three-
year $2.5 million contract with the
National Basketball Association
team last September.
The offer was withdrawn after
rape charges were filed in Maryland.
San Antonio Spurs owner Red
McCombs said the team will com
ment on Wingate’s future in the next
few days.

1991 campaign. Orders are also be
ing taken for new season ticket re

Continued from page 9
The timing of Ricks’ comeback
was impeccable. Davis knew his re
turn could greatly help a team in
dire straits at the time after losing its
last four games.
The Aggies have been outmanned
all season. Before Ricks’ return, Da
vis had used as few as six players in a
game.
Besides the Aggies’ starting five,
Davis only had three scholarship
players available on the bench and a
handful of walk-ons.
With two transfers sitting out and
waiting until next year, and another
handful of academic casualties, Da
vis was in need of some solid help for
a team that is last in the conference
in bench points.
Enter Freddie Ricks.
The Aggies could use help put
ting the ball in the hole. Once Ricks
gets his legs under him, he could
add 10-plus points to an A&M team
lingering near the bottom of the
Southwest Conference in field goal
E ercentage. The Aggies, averaging
;ss than 74 points a game while giv
ing up almost 80 points, would wel
come his helping hand.
Enter Freddie Ricks.
With only two players returning
from last year’s team that had exten
sive playing experience, Davis was in
need of someone who had been
around the league a few times and
could provide valuable leadership to
the younger players.
Enter Freddie Ricks.
In his first three games back for
A&M, Ricks averaged six points a
contest. But more importantly, he
has been a vocal leader on the court.
After the Aggies’ Monday night
victory over Centenary, Davis told
reporters he gave Ricks and fellow
senior Lynn Suber the green light
before the game to do the things off
the court necessary to help the team
on the court.
The coach obviously was pleased
with the players’ efforts.
Though one of the few remaining
elements left of the Shelby Metcalf
era, the other being Suber and the
Coliseum, Ricks is ready to lay the
groundwork for the future of A&M
basketball.
