Henderson
caught, comes
up injured
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Rickey Henderson was caught
stealing and later pulled up lame
to remain stuck one steal shy of
tying Lou Brock's all-time career
stolen base record Thursday,
and the Oakland Athletics de
feated the Minnesota Twins 3-0.
Joe Slusarski pitched seven
shutout innings, allowing five
hits in his major league debut.
Henderson was running to
first base on a groundout in the
seventh, when he grabbed his
left calf. He sat down and had to
be helped by trainer Barry Wein
berg, before struggling off the
field. Henderson left, and his
status is day-to-day for Oak
land's next game, Friday night at
home against the Seattle Mari
ners.
Henderson, who went l-for-4
with a fourth-inning single, was
thrown out by catcher Junior Or
tiz at second base in his only at
tempt to tie Brock's record of
938.
Dennis Eckersley pitched two
scoreless innings for his first
save.

Willie Wilson's groundout, and
scored on a passed ball.

brawl on a behind-the-back fastball by Rob
Dibble.
After Astros reliever Curt Schilling hit an
RBI single in his first big league at-bat in the
ninth inning. Dibble threw his next pitch
behind Yeldmg's belt. Yelding charged the
mound, threw his helmet and hit Dibble in
the left shoulder, and then tried to tackle
him.

Slocum: Restructure will aid kickoff consistency

return. Texas Tech's Rodney
Blackshear returned a kickoff 92
yards with 11 seconds left in the
first half, giving the Red Raiders
a 13-7 lead at halftime.
A&M
won
the game, but
Slocum said the

nave indicated
a change was
necessary.
"(That play)
points out part
of the problem,
but it was a
very small part
of our consider
ation, " Slocum
said. "Our reg
ular kickoff
Coach R.C. Slo
cum announced

Kickoff Team will
be cut back this
season.
team didn't cover very well that
day either."
Slocum replaced the 12th Man
squad with scholarship players
in the second half of the Texas
Tech game.
The 12th Man Kickoff Team
was originated eight years ago
by former head coach Jackie
Sherill and was patterned after
E. King Gill, the original 12th
Man.
The tradition began in 1922
during the Dixie Classic when
Gill, a reserve on the football
team, was called from the stands
by Coach Dana X. Bible who
feared he would not have
enough men to finish the game
due to injuries.
Gill suited up in the uniform
of an injured player, and al
though he never actually played,
he was the last man left on the
sidelines when the game ended.
Sherrill, now the head coach at
Mississippi St., is starting his
own version of the 12th Man
next year. He announced in Feb
ruary a non-scholarship squad
would handle kickoff duties for
the Bulldogs. Over 40 students
turned out for the tryouts, and
Sherrill said he's considering
calling the unit Mad Dogs or Pit
Bulls.
This season's 12th Man squad
at A&M will continue to carry
out the tradition, but with a new
angle, Slocum said.
He said some changes have
been made, but only within the
structure of the 12th Man Team.
"This year. I'm taking the 12th
Man guys and I will rotate them
with the No. 12 jersey reserved
for the 12th Man," Slocum said.
"We will alternate who has that
jersey each week out of the pool
of players we have on the 12th
Man team."
Slocum said the change was
pre-empted by the inconsistency
produced by both the 12th Man
squad and the regular kickoff
team.
In the past, the 12th Man team
pa:
covered kicks at home while a
regular kickoff team covered
kicks on the road.
"It really has put both our kick
teams at a disadvantage," Slo
cum said. "The 12th Man didn't
get to kick on the road games
and then, when we came home
to play, they may not have cov
ered in two or three weeks, and
they're going against an offen
sive team who has been practic
ing every week.
"The same goes for our regular
kickoff team. It has just made for
a lot of inconsistency."
Slocum said he thinks this will
be a positive change and expects
the students to react positively
too.
"The 12th Man will still be at
home and now we will even take
him with us," he said. "Every
kick that we cover this year will
have a 12th Man represent the
student body, and at the same
time our kick team will be much
better."
Slocum said he thinks this is
more in line with the tradition of
the 12th Man.
"When E. King Gill came out
of the stands, he didn't have 12
guys come out of the stands with
him to help," he said. "It was
just one guy and that's how the
whole tradition started."
But 12th Man team members
are not happy about the change
"It's not going to be a 12t
Man team anymore, it's jusl
going to be one guy," said Tom
McCoy, who was on the squad
from 1989-90. "We used to nave
a lot of team unity and everyone
wanted to do a great job to rep
resent the student body.
"But if it's just one person, it's
not even the same tradition."
New squad member, junioi
Steve Bishop, agreed.
"(The kickoff team) seemsfe
the foundation for the student
body and the home of the 1
Man," Bishop said.
Bishop also said that it is a
of hard work for the opportunity
to play in just one game.
"It's a lot of time to devotefoi
just one game," Bishop said.1
guess I can see justification
the change though, because the) 1

"It's tough to keep up in (

the best (players) at every p
ition," McCoy said.
"It was a good tradition, hi
guess all good things come to
end."
