Ausin. A&M (4-6) faces the Lady- jacks (4-4) Wednesday at 7 p.m. in G. Rollie White Colise um. The Aggies are trying to recover from the J.M.N. Pre miere Tournament in Fuller ton, Ca. where they won one game out of five in the three- day tournament. A&M head volleyball coach A1 Givens said the Aggies are glad to be playing on their homecourt again. was disappointed with the way we played in Califor nia," Givens said. "We are glad to have the opportunity to come home and play in front of our boisterous and ac tive fans." The Ladyjacks are re bounding from a loss at the hands of New Orleans Satur day. "We are looking forward to playing in front of a large owd crowd m a competitive match," Givens said. "We have had two good days of practice and we will be ready." The first 500 fans to arrive will receive a 1991 Texas A&M volleyball poster. Wednesday is also Resi dent's Hall Night and the dorm with the greatest amount of representation will receive a free pizza party. Biggins continued from page 5 whelmed by the more than 66,000 fans. "I tried to not even look at the crowd," he said. "But when I did, I got nervous." Slocum never doubted Biggens' ability on Saturday. "He was a little jittery out there playing in his first game as a true freshman in front of a national television crowd," Slocum said. Biggens said the college game is a lot different from the high school game. " "It's a lot faster game," Biggens said. "It's more intense out there than it is in high school." Biggens came to A&M from Houston's Aldine MacArthur where he was the state's top scorer in Class 5A. At Aldine, Biggens was recruited as both a running back and defensive back. He chose A&M over schools like Pittsburgh, Oklahoma and Nebraska. At A&M, the freshman knows he won't be playing any defense. "I miss it a little bit, but I just want to help the team wherever they need me." Biggens didn't anticipate the role the freshmen would play in Saturday's 45-7 pounding of LSU. "I didn't know we would play like that," he said. "Everyone just pulled together and it just hap pened. "I was practicing and hoping to play," he said. " But if I didn't, it would be all right." Part of the reason for his play ing time was the move from run ning back to return man. "When I came in at tailback, I didn't think I would get to play," he said. "Then they changed my spot and I thought I would have a chance to play." Biggens hopes he won't drop the ball in his opportunity to help the Aggies. Southwest Conference Update iWednesd; Texas, Auburn set to clash in Austin Longhorns ready to avenge loss to Mississippi St AUSTIN (AP) - Coach David McWilliams of Texas said Monday Longhorn fans shouldn't expect wholesale changes in the football team, de spite a disappointing 13-6 open ing game loss to Mississippi State. Texas, which fell from No. 13 out of the Top 25 in the college rankings, will try to rebound against Auburn, another South eastern Conference team. The Saturday game, on ESPN national television, will be Texas' home opener. Kickoff is at 6:32 p.m., CST, and a sellout crowd exceeding 77,809 is ex pected. Auburn was ranked No. 15 before defeating Mississippi last Saturday to raise its record to 2- 0. "I think you have to write the whole thing off," McWilliams said of the Missis sippi State loss. "You have to come off of it and show that you're a better football team. That's just pride, and I think that's exactly what this team will do." McWilliams was asked at his weekly news conference if it would be important not to make "wholesale changes." "That's my philosophy," McWilliams said. "As a general rule, most coaches aren't going to completely change everything in the world because of one game. ... We made a few changes but not wholesale." Willie Mack Garza will re place Van Malone at safety, with Malone moving to second-team corner back. Injuries continued to cut into Texas' depth even though the Longhorns did not play last Sat urday. Robert Reed, a special teams player and backup linebacker, broke his left foot in practice day mainder of the season. Wide receiver Brian Howan sprained an ankle and runnin: back Rodrick Walker hurthii knee. McWilliams said wide re ceiver Mike Davis, the teams fastest player, and linebackei Winfred Tubbs remained side lined with injuries, and widere ceiver Justin McLemore has sore back. All four of the defensive front were rested with injuries but are expected to practiced week, McWilliams said. He described Auburn asi "real physical football team' that is a "lot faster, especiallyat receiver," than Mississippi Stale Texas is eager to play, ti show "we're a better teamthai what we played against Missis sippi state. I think that will us for this week," McWilliams said. Bears look to keep things rolling Victory over defending national champions is only the beginning Editorials ( necessarily Regents ILjEzcicle Last v unbeliev examina For th should b As loc educatio showing the visio] TheD and the 1 educatio nation th parents, i Until forget ou their owi WACO, Texas (AP) - Bay lor coach Grant Teaff stopped short of saying that he saved the Southwest Conference's nation al reputation Saturday. It was on his mind, though. The Bears' 16-14 victory over defending national champion Colorado did a lot to erase a dis mal showing by Southwest Con ference teams in showcase games. But Teaff said Monday afternoon that last weekend's contest won't mean much if things don't fall into place for the Bears. "There was a lot of pressure, a lot of heat on the Bears," Teaff said. "It was on our minds. But it wasn't the driving force be hind what we were trying to do, we do have other goals. "It was a plus for the confer ence and we're glad it worked out like that." The victory pushed Baylor to a No. 14 spot in The Associat ed Press football rankings, up from 23, and its highest ranking since 1986 when the Bears were 12th. Baylor faces another Big Eight foe, Missouri, this week end. The Tigers beat Illinois 23- 19 Saturday. "We're not exactly the little sisters of the poor and haven't been for the past 20 years," Teaff said. "This is not the end of the season for us. It means abso lutely noth ing if we' don't build on it and turn it into something." The Bears dling Southern Cal in 1985. "I'm just now coming dow: off of this win," said Santana Dotson, whose last-minute block of a field goal help setup Baylor's winning score. "Thi;T made us feel tremendous. " I looked up and I was so deep in the backfield that: Id have waited on the kid cou er. Santana Dotson snuffed out the nation's longest winning streak at 11. The last time a Baylor team beat a ranked team was in 1986 with a victory over 10th -ranked Arkansas. "I was exactly the kind of game that I thought it would be," Teaff said. "I hope my credibility doesn't hinge on be ing right about one game."

The Aggies definitely cannot take the next two games for granted. Just take a look at the NCAA recent upsets, Memphis State over USC, Mississippi State over Texas, Central Michigan taking Michigan State and of course the big surprise, Baylor knocking off Colorado, the defending national champions. Jumping up to No.15 in the national rankings is very exciting. The Aggies need not be clouded in their success and overlook Tul sa when they visit the Golden Hurricane this Saturday. This is the fifth time Texas A&M and Tulsa have come head to head, the last meeting between the two teams was in 1985. A&M has only lost to Tulsa one time. but this is the first time for the Aggies to play the Golden Hurri cane on their home field in Skelly Stadium. The 2-1 Tulsa team lossed by a mere six points against Kansas last weekend and the Aggie's need not underestimate the Hur ricane's offensive line. Specific attention should be focused on the duo of quarterback T. J. Rub- ley and Associated Press All- America receiver Dan Bitson. Rubley, the record- setting se nior, was rated as the seventh - best quarterback in the nation by The Sporting News and the ninth best by Football News entering the 1990 season. He passed for 212 yards against Kansas for his 19th 200-yard or better passing game.
