Spurs looking for guard
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The
San Antonio Spurs would love to
find a solid backup guard in
Wednesday's NBA-draft.
But with only the 49th overall
prick. Spurs coach Larry Brown
says the team will do well to find
any player who can make it in the
league.
"There are some guys that we
like, but whether they're good
enough to make the team or not I
don't know," Brown said. "When
you get to draft in the second
round, or late in the first round,
it's a crap-shoot."
The Spurs had a first-round,
23rd overall pick but traded it
along with center Mark McNa
mara last year to the Orlando
Magic in exchange for forward
Sidney Green.
As draft day arrived, San Anto
nio, Philadelphia, Detroit, Phoe
nix, Portland and the Los Angeles
Lakers had no first-round selec
tions.
Spurs officials have said they
would like to find help for starting
point guard Rod Strickland, who
averaged 13.8 points, 8 assists and
3.8 rebounds during the 1990-91
season.
Too often last season, Spurs offi
cials said, the team relied solely on
Strickland for fast-break plays.
Bob Bass, the team's vice presi
dent of basketball operations, said
probably the only players still
available at the 49th spot will be
guards. But even then, it is ques
tionable whether they will be of
NBA caliber.

Byington excels in Brewers' organization
By John R. Martin
The Battalion
El Paso Diablo third baseman
John Byington is known to Mil
waukee Brewer fans as a prom
ising prospect playing double A
•all. He
baseball. However, to most Ag
gies, he is known for his game
winning heroics.
At Texas A&M, Byington is leg
endary for his game-winning
homeruns against the Univesity of
Texas.
"I'm kind of humbled by the
whole experience," he said. "It
(the third game) was in front of a
national audience with the series
tied (1-1).
"There were two outs and I hit
the ball real well. I was guessing
for the right pitch, I got it and I
drove it."
The winning hit was Byington's
third ninth-inning homer, and his
second game winner in a row. In
the second game of the series, he
hit a grand-slam to give A&M the
victory.
The 1989 Aggie Baseball team
had the best record in the country
with a 58-7 mark. They were
ranked number one in the nation,
and won the Southwest Confer-
ence tournament and
championship.
"It's not my nature," he*
"But it is a tradition, and I'm:
complaining about people
me money.
Only about five percent offe
drafted ever get to play nt
league baseball, and those who;
make it to the show usually c
last a year or two.
"I think I have decent chant*
making it, but I'm still a littlt;
away," said Byington. "I'mr
not like Chuck (Knobloch of ;
Minnesota Twins) who got I
in a hurry."
w<
\F.
Th
By late June, Byington was*
ting .305 with five homers anil
runs batted in at El Paso. Hev
ranked 13th in the Texas Leagu*
batting, but only seventh on;
own team.
"There are some real good p :
ers on this team" he said. "We's
lot like the 1989 A&M team, exit
we use wooden bats and playr
ball."

U:
John Byington, former Texas A&M baseball standout at third base, now plays
for the Milwaukee Brewers’ AA minor league team in El Paso.
The Aggies never lost back to
back games in the '89 season until
the Regionals at Olsen field. The
team needed one win against
Louisianna State University to ad
vance to the College World Series,
but lost two games in a row.
"We got the jinx off of Texas,
but we still did not make it to the
world series," Byington said.
"Losing to LSU hurt. We were the
best team in the country. I can't
figure out why we lost.
"I just want to thank the fans,
because when we played at home.
we knew we were going to win,"
he said. "I know I speak for the
guys when I say we wish we could
have made it all the way for the
fans."
When the 1989 season ended,
Byington foregoed his senior sea
son to enter the draft early, and
was selected in the third round by
the Milwaukee Brewers. He
signed with the team and was as
signed to the single A baUclub in
Beloit.
"The Brewers are a fair and hon
est organization, very stright to
ward and old fashion," Byington
said. "They believe in taking time
and developing talent. The Brew
ers are not going to give you any
thing — you have to earn it.
"They've given me a great
chance this year by assigning me
to play in AA El Paso," he said. "I
was in lower A last year, and most
players go from low to high A be
fore they go to AA."
In his first night of ball at El
Paso, Byington went two for
three, both hits being home runs.
"It has been my biggest night in
pro ball so far," he said.
However, the homeruns did
create a little embarrassment for
Byington. It is a tradition in El
Paso for the player to pass the hat
for donations after every home
run.
Despite his love for basek
Byington said there is no dot
professional baseball is work,
"At A&M, you have the
naline of the crowd
up," he said. "In pro
have to get yourself up.
"It is definitely a job, day tod
everynight for 140 games," Byj
ton said. "But, it is a great wi
make a living."
During the off season, Eying:
will continue to finish his dep
and get ready for spring trail'
next year. He is currently plait
to get married this October to
fiancee, A&M graduate Kit
Walters.
"Going to A&M has been wit

Tyson, Ruddock cool war
of words before rematch
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mike Ty
son and Donovan "Razor" Rud
dock were on their best behavior
Tuesday in their first meeting
since their raucous televised news
conference in May.
"I'm sorry Razor that I called
you bad names," Tyson said when
asked if he felt repentant about re
marks he made about Ruddock,
whom he will fight in a rematch
Friday night at The Mirage.
On May 2, Tyson, who was in
Las Vegas, told Ruddock, who
was in New York, "I'll make you
my girlfriend."
Tyson also called Ruddock a
transvestite and said, "You're
sweet. I can't wait for you to kiss
me with those big lips of yours."
"Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson,"
Ruddock said at Tuesday's news
conference. "He can say what he
wants. I don't pay attention to
that."
He did, however, in May.
After Tyson's "girlfriend" re
mark, Ruddock had said, "I think
he's trying to get brave enough to
come out of the closet."
Ruddock also called the former
heavyweigt champion a moron
and an ignorant little kid.
Tyson was a 5-1 favorite to win
the rematch, which was made be
cause of the controversial ending
of the first fight. Tyson won when
referee Richard Steele stopped the
fight at 2:22 of the seventh round
with Ruddock still on his feet.
Most observers thought Steele
acted too hastily.
Tyson complimented Ruddock,
although grudgingly.
"He's a better fighter than
Douglas," said Tyson, who lost
the title on a shocking lOth-round
knockout by James "Buster"
Douglas on Feb. 11, 1990.
"No
• doubt, he's a good fighter,"
Tyson continued. Then he added,
"I'm the best. "
"I beat him before. I'll beat him
again. He's going to get knocked
out."
"A lot of people are making
plans, but there are always up
sets," Ruddock said of his under
dog role.
He also said, "If I lose, it doesn't
bother me."
Asked why he took a rematch
with Tyson rather than take an
other route to a title bid against
Evander Holyfield, Ruddock said,
"I've got nothing better to do."
Of course, a victory would send
the 27-year-old Ruddock into a ti
tle match in the fall.
Should the 24-year-old Tyson
will ]
win, his next opponent will not
necessarily be Holyfield.
Don King, Tyson's promoter,
and Dan Duva, Holyfield's pro
moter, have been waging a war of
words and accusing each other of
not wanting the fight.
It is possible that Tyson's next
opponent could be 42-year-old
George Foreman, the former
champion who came out of his
April 18 fight against Holyfield as
a winner, even though Holyfield
took a 12-round unanimous deci
sion.
In another title fight, Azumah
Nelson of Ghana, the World Box
ing Council super featherweight
champion, will meet Jeff Fenech of
Australia.

EDITOR
This letter is written in response to Jayme Blaschke's artidt
entitled "Pay for Play" (June 21, 1991).
In light of the current educational cuts and the cancellatior
of classes at universities across the state, seems sensible It thougl
propose pay for atheletes. What an altruistic idea! It is essentii
to always have the athletes' best interest in mind, and Mi
Blaschke has accomplished this. Yet, this idea should be ft "Evei
panded and improved to encompass other well deserving pee hour
- - llll'
pie at our campus. 5|
To begin, the students at A&M should be paid $100 fores ^
ery A they receive. "Sure the university grants scholarships to 8 a S
deserving students. "It's a hell of a deal, but" students are con
centra ting their efforts on their courses. They simply do M
have time to get a job. Nevertheless, these students are forced
to obtain a job during the school year, or else they would beoi
welfare. How would an employer look at students with go® 1 on ^ 11 j* a
grades but no work experience except during the summer.
"Now stop for a minute, and think about what the" sta s r g^ c
dents give back to society. Jj^ a jj
Let's say that a town of 50,000 has approximately 15,0® severa ]
with a college education. Without the knowledge of these col ^ nc j c j (
lege graduates, millions of dollars would be lost. By making the ] 0 ^yi s
conservative estimate of three cities per state, our countn
might be in a little bit of trouble. (Don't worry, superjock cat
solve it!) Hmmm! Where are our priorities?!?! Sports always
comes first. Television broadcasts sports morning, day and
night. Yes! Yes! Sports and jocks should be our prime concert
(Let's not even try to educate them or help them with tutorials
I sincerely hope that Mr. Blaschke and I can lobby as Aggif
partners in Austin for our Bill No. #1 CROCK: Pay for Plays
and A's.
Proposed amendments:
1. Pay should be given to students who participate instil
dent organizations. A time clock shall be installed at the Shi
dent Programs Office and the Pavilion.
2. Pay should be given to all those who feed the cute littli Ui ^
squirrels running around on campus. Squirrel food is exper crunch
