O’Neal to miss
SEC tourney
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —
What looked to be a promising
postseason for LSU now hinges
on the fractured leg of Shaquille
O’Neal.
O’Neal, the nation’s leading re
bounder, is out of this week’s
Southeastern Conference tourna
ment and could even miss the
NCAA tournament if the injury
fails to heal in time.
Coach Dale Brown was un
available for comment Tuesday,
but said earlier, “If he has not
healed 100 percent by NCAA
tournament time, he will not
play.’’
The 7-foot-1 center, the SEC’s
player of the year who averages
28 points, 14.5 rebounds and 5.1
blocked shots per game, suffered
a hairline fracture of his left leg
during LSU’s game last Wednes
day against Florida.
Brown held O’Neal out of the
Tigers’ final regular-season game
last Saturday. O’Neal was be re
placed by 7-0 sophomore Geert
HammicK, who had 20 points and
10 rebounds in his first career
start.
It was believed that O’Neal’s in
jury was a bruise and that he
would play in the SEC tourna
ment. A further examination by
an orthopedic specialist on Mon
day found a hairline fracture of
the fibula near its juncture with
the knee.
“Those who saw the Florida
game saw he was limping real bad
toward the end of the game,” said
Dr. J. Thomas Kilroy, who diag
nosed O’Neal’s injury. “We exam
ined the area, and it was tender
below the knee joint on the fibula
head. We later did a bone scan of
the area, and sure enough, it was
a hairline fracture of the fibula
head.”
Kilroy was unavailable for
comment on Tuesday.
The 16th-ranked Tigers (20-8)
are certain to be invited on Sun
day to play in the NCAA tourna
ment, even if they fail to put on a
good showing in the SEC tourna
ment. LSU meets Auburn (12-15)
on Friday.
All are invited to a debate:

Lady Aggie softballers edge
Penn State 4-2, blank ISU 2-0
Bv Scott Wudel
e Battalion
The Lady Aggie softball team began a new streak
Tuesday night.
A&M began a two-game winning streak by defeating
Illinois State University 2-0. The Lady Aggies grabbed
their second victory of the night over Penn State, 4-2, in
the second game of the double-header.
The ninth-ranked Lady Aggies
are 13-1 after beginning the sea
son with an 11-game winning
streak, their best start ever.
A&M lost to fourth-ranked Cal-
State Fullerton this weekend to
end that streak.
Aggie coach Bob Brock said he
warned his team Tuesday that
Penn State would be out for re
venge.
“They were just destined to do
better because we had beaten them
17-0 earlier,” Brock said. “I would
be fired up too.”
Brock said the Lady Aggies bats have been up and
down lately.
“We’ve been hitting real well and we’re still hitting
well,” he said. “We had some shots that were caught,
that’s just the way softball and baseball are — sometimes
they mil, sometimes they don’t.”
The Lady Aggies used a two-run sixth inning to
make the difference in the second game.
A&M had the bases loaded with no outs when Karen
Kalhoefer slapped a ball straight to the Penn State
pitcher who attempted to get an easy out at home plate.
Jennifer McFalls scored the go-ahead run when the
Penn State catcher dropped the ball at the plate for an
error.
The Aggies added to their 3-2 lead when an A&M
batter was grazed by a pitch, which advanced each base-
runner one base and gave the Lady Aggies a two-run
cushion.
McFalls had three hits in the nightcap to boost
A&M’s scoring.
The freshman shortstop said she was due for a good
hitting night.
“Finally,” McFalls said. “I finally just went with the
pitch and started hitting like I was hitting this week
end.”
McFalls got things started for the Aggies in the first
inning with a triple to right centerfield with two outs.
She was singled home to give the Lady Aggies a 1-0
lead.
The Lions tied the game at two runs in the fifth in
ning when the A&M catcher could not hold on to a
throw from Aggie third baseman, Rhonda Halbert.
Halbert charged a bunt and flung the ball towards
home attempting to beat the tying run at home plate.
Sophomore Missy Young, who grabbed the victory in
the Aggies’ first game against Illinois State and allowed
only three hits, was called on to relieve starter Dana
Mitchell in the sixth inning. Young struck out all three
batters in the sixth and helped the Aggie defense finish
off the Lions.
A&M will host another doubleheader tonight at 5
p.m. against Central Michigan at the Lady Aggie
Softball Complex.

Arkansas report set forprosecutor
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — A
report on an alleged sexual assault
involving University of Arkansas
athletes is being prepared by the
university and will be presented to
Prosecutor Andrew Ziser Wednes
day or Thursday, an official said.
Jim Treadway, a university
spokesman, said the report likely will
be more than 100 pages. It is being
prepared from the police report, he
saicl.
Frank Broyles, athletic director,
said no determination on discipli
nary action will be made until he gets
a report from Ziser.
Ziser determined that evidence in
volving a woman’s initial rape accu
sations weren’t sufficient to file
charges. The woman also decided
not to press charges.
The prosecutor said dorm rules
apparently were violated since fe
male visitors are permitted in James
“Bud” Walton Hall, the men’s ath
letic dormitory, only during speci
fied hours. The 33-year-old Spring-
dale woman reported the incident to
campus police in the early morning
hours of Feb. 27 and an investiga
tion ensued.
Broyles has said that appropriate
action would be taken “where uni
versity, athletic department or team
rules were broken.”
He said Monday he has discussed
the situation with some of the ath
letes “who are connected with (the
incident) in some way.”
Broyles said that he and coach
Nolan Richardson would discuss any
disciplinary action taken against bas
ketball players. Both basketball and
football players allegedly were in
volved.
Arkansas’ basketball team, ranked
fifth in the nation, opens Southwest
Conference tournament play in Dal
las on Friday night.
Broyles said that if disciplinary ac
tion is taken, it will not be made pub
lic.
“It may les^k out, but it’s not our
policy to make public disciplinary ac
tion,” Broyles said.
Richardson, who has been battling
the flu since last week, was unavail
able for comment Monday.
After taking Monday off, the bas
ketball team was to begin prepara
tions Tuesday for the conference
tournament. Arkansas’ first tourna
ment game is against Thursday
night’s Texas Tech-Texas A&:M win
ner.
Spurs, Admiral coast by 76ers; Rockets
use fourth quarter outburst to top Nets
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs
erased a 17-point first-quarter deficit and rode Da
vid Robinson’s 33 points and 16 rebounds to a 104-
99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday
night.
Robinson gave San Antonio the lead for good at
98-95 with a pair of free throws with 2:32 left. After
an exchange of baskets, Robinson blocked Rick Ma-
horn’s shot with 1:20 left that all but sealed the vic
tory.
Hersey Hawkins led Philadelphia with 29 points.
Despite a S'/a-minute span without a field goal in
the fourth quarter, the Spurs held on for their sec
ond straight victory.
Terry Cummings’ 12-foot jumper with 9:17 re
maining gave San Antonio an 89-88 lead, but the
Spurs miled to hit another field goal until the 5:47
mark.
Philadelphia built the big margin by hitting 16 of
24 (67 percent) from the field in the first quarter.
Elsewhere in Houston, Sleepy Floyd led five
Houston players in double figures with 27 points
and Akeem Olajuwon came off the bench to score 18
points and get 12 rebounds, rallying the Rockets to a
112-100 victory over the New Jersey Nets Tuesday
night.
The Rockets led only briefly in the game until
they opened the fourth quarter by outscoring the
Nets 10-2 to take a 92-87 lead and they never trailed
again.
Floyd had his 14th 20-plus scoring game off the
bench this season. Otis Thorpe scored 22 points and
Buck Johnson also hit 18 for the Rockets.
Mookie Blaylock scored 22 points to lead the Nets,
who lost their 10th straight road game and their
third in a row. Sam Bowie scored 18 points.
The Nets built their biggest lead of the first half
with 1:10 left in the first quarter at 36-23 but the
Rockets rallied in the second quarter and trailed by
60-57 at the half.
Aggies
the Cardinals struck for four runs.
A two-base error by Marshall al
lowed the Cards’ Ty McGraw to
reach second.
Mike Bonanza singled, when Rob
inson misplayed his pop fly due to
the wind.
Lester Funk popped up in foul
ground, but Colby dropped it.
That miscue proved critical as
Funk eventually walked to load the
bases as Rodney Scroggs followed
with an RBI single.
Bruce Aven hit into a fielders
choice to score another run and Ter
rell Wilson chased Granger with a
two-run single.
Steve Hughes relieved and got a
double play grounder to end the in
ning.
The Aggie comeback began in the
third with a solo run coming off Wil
liams’ monstrous home run to left
field, his fourth homer of the year.
Trailing 4-3 in the fourth inning,
Huckontod walked and stole second.
Thomas followed with a single to
score Huckuntod and even the tally.
A&M grabbed the lead in the
sixth when, with two out, Thomas
singled and stole second. Hickey
Continued from page 7
then homered ott Cardinal starter
Kyle Green to give the Ags a 6-4
lead.
In the bottom of the sixth,
Hughes, who had given up no hits to
that point, gave up a one-out walk.
McGraw pulled the Cards to within
one with a double, and then scored
on Funk’s single as the game was tied
at six.
Aggie reliever Trey Witte came in
to get the final out.
After scoreless frames in the sev
enth and eighth, the Ags put it away
in the final stanza.
A walk to Thomas opened the
ninth. Hickey grounded into a field
ers choice and stole second.
After a wild pitch, Williams put
A&M ahead to stay on an RBI single
to right-center field.
Hickey ended the game by going
3-for-5 with a homer, a double and
two RBIs.
Witte closed the affair with a
grounder and two strikeouts to im
prove his record to 2-0.
“This is just what the doctor or
dered,” Johnson said. “We had a lot
of players come through in pressure
situations.
Wudel- from page?
leave. But on the other hand experi
ence has been gained.
The muscle of the Aggies, Rash-
one Lewis and Shedrick Anderson,
now has one season under its belt
They have made the transition from
junior college and could be ready to
contribute even more toward the
Aggie’s goals next season.
An unsung hero for A&M this
year was Anthony Ware. Ware has
made the most recognizable im
provement on the team while com
ing off the Aggie bench.
The 6-foot-7 forward hai
scrapped for big rebounds and
showed the best shooting touch of al
the A&M big men.
Most coaches will say the)
shouldn’t be judged until they have
had the chance to bring in their own
players. Davis will set out this spring
to recruit those players who suit tht
needs of the A&M team. And the
A&M team will be a young one nexi
season.
Perhaps the best thing about this
year is that the worst is behind Davis
and the Aggies.
Things can only get better, and
they will get better next year.
