Bad news continues for
Rangers as Witt goes down
with season-ending injury
Rookie Fajardo expected to get start
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -
What was already a disappointing
season for Texas Rangers pitcher
Bobby Witt has come to a prema
ture end because of a possible
bone spur in his right shoulder
that may require surgery.
After leading the Rangers with
17 victories last season, Witt was
in the first season of a 4-year con
tract that will pay him a guaran
teed minimum of $7.3 million and
a maximum of $10.05 million.
He missed part of this season
after tests on his shoulder revealed
a slight rotator cuff tear. The in
jury did not require surgery, but
Witt was ineffective when he re
turned to the rotation.
The player struggled to a 3-7
record with a 6.09 earned-run av
erage, highest among the team's
starters, and eventually was sent
to the bullpen.
Witt, who has experienced pe
riodic elbow soreness for several
ears, threw 4 1-3 innings of hit-
ess relief Tuesday night in his first
appearance since being demoted
from the starting rotation on Sept.
8.
But manager Bobby Valentine
said Witt “wasn't throwing that
well. He wasn't back in the sad
dle." Valentine asked for a come-
clean meeting on Wednesday, and
Witt admitted to severe pain in his
right elbow.
Witt agreed not to pitch again
this season.
“It's something that has been
there for the last couple years, but
I've always been able to deal with
l
it," Witt said. He was expected to
have an arthrogram Friday and
faces possible surgery.
No tendon or ligament dam
age is expected in Witt's elbow,
but teammate Scott Chiamparino
ended up with ligament recon
struction surgery when he had an
operation to remove bone chips
and a spur from his elbow this
summer.
“You always worry about it
when it's your arm and they're go
ing to stick things in it and look
around/' Witt said. “But I'm kind
of looking forward to this. It
seems like it may be something we
can solve this year. It may be like
getting a whole new elbow, and I
wouldn't mind starting next sea
son like that."
“Maybe the shoulder pain
bothered his elbow. Maybe the be
ginning of the elbow problem
caused the shoulder to be both
ered," Valentine said. “He's al
ways had an elbow situation, but
he has pitched through it. It's just
bothering him a little more right
now."
Valentine said newly acquired
rookie Hector Fajardo probably
will be slipped into the rotation
Sunday or Monday. With Witt
gone and Brian Bohanon's rotation
spot in question, Fajardo will start
so Nolan Ryan will get his normal
rest between starts.
Fajardo, who has a 95 mph
fastball, was acquired from Pitts
burgh for third baseman Steve
Buechele.
Speedway
continued from page 7
drivers has been good so far.
As of Wednesday morning, there
were 47 entries for the ARCA race.
Johnson said there is a limit of 40
cars for the race. There were about
30 entries for the TIDA Late Mod
els and 12-14 entries for the Pro
Vees. Johnson said former
NASCAR driver H.B. Bailey of
Houston is building three cars for
this weekend to get more track
time.
The ARCA cars will race on
the repaved two mile oval, while
the TIDA drivers and Pro Vees
will use the 1.9 mile configuration
of the newly designed road
course. Texas World Speedway
was bought by the Ishin Corpora
tion of Japan earlier this year and
has been completely refurbished.
The racing surface has been re
designed and repaved, and a new
control tower has been built. En
closed seats have been added in
the Speedway Club and pit row
suites have been built. This week
end will be the first major race at
the facility since 1988.
"This is kind of a show and tell
for the track," Johnson said. "This
race course is the best I've ever
seen, and I've been in the business
for a long time."
Some of the drivers share
Johnson's enthusiasm for the re
built racetrack. Bill Venturini, cur
rently second in the ARCA driv
er's championship, says the track
looks good.
"I think they've done an excel
lent job" Venturini said. "It's very
smooth, very nice. I think the rac
ing will be real good." Although
some have expressed concern over
the track's freshly laid asphalt,
Venturini doesn't think it will be a
problem.
"The cold weather has helped
a bunch. We won't have a problem
with blistering tires."
Bob Brevak, last year's ARCA
Super Car Series champion, is con
cerned about the new asphalt.
"I've seen some problems with
freshly laid surfaces," Brevak said.
"It's something we're going to
watch as it unfolds." Brevak said if
it's hot, the sealer could come up,
and rocks and gravel could come
loose. "Tire wear could be a prob
lem."

"We took a ride around it (the
track) today," Farris said Thurs
day. "It's going to be a lot of fun.
It's really smooth and it'll be really
fast." Farris, from College Station,
will be driving for car owner Bill
LaBarge, owner of the Bug Clinic
in Bryan. LaBarge will be driving
in both the Pro Sedan and the Late
Model races in Gary Stevenson
Quality Pontiac/Buick/GMC, Bug
Clinic and Fabric Care Cleaners
sponsored cars.
The drivers predict good rac
ing for this weekend. Bobby Bow-
sher comes into Sunday's race
with a 95 point lead for the driv
er's championship over second
place Venturini. A win for Bowsh-
er could put the championship out
of Venturini's reach if he fails to
finish. Venturini said he has fin
ished fairly consistently near the
top, but he is still looking for his
first win of the season.
"Sunday will be my first win,"
Venturini said.
Venturini, the 1987 champion,
said he feels he will be competitive
in his Nestea Plunge Chevrolet
Lumina.
"I run the best on the speed
ways. It's my strong point."
Brevak, last year's champion,
is also looking for his first win this
year.
"We've had an incredible
string of bad luck," Brevak said.
He said he has lead several races
for a long way this year before
having problems. Despite his bad
luck, Brevak feels he will be com
petitive on Sunday and says he is
looking forward to racing again at
Texas World Speedway. Brevak
raced at the track in the 70's.
"I like the speedways," Brevak
said. "I like the added exposure to
the fans, and I like the speed. I en
joy being here to reopen TWS, to
bring racing back to Texas in a ma
jor league way."
Brevak and the other ARCA
Permatex Supercar Series drivers
will start their race at 1 p.m. on
Sunday, followed by the TIDA
Late Models at 3:45. Practice and
qualifying are scheduled for today
and Saturday. The first race is
scheduled for the TIDA Pro
Sedans at 5 p.m. Saturday fol
lowed by the Pro Vee race at 5:30.
Ticket prices for the weekend
range from $20 for infield viewing
to $35 for grandstand seats and
$75 for the enclosed Speedway
Club. Student tickets are $10. For
more ticket information call 690-

College Football Weekend
SWC Update
Game of the week:
H Texas (0-1) vs. Auburn (2-0)
Texas... Three things come to mind when you think of the Longhorns and their openinj
game loss to Mississippi State. First, Texas forgot that winning the Southwest Conference
last season automatically makes them a target this season. Second, Butch Hadnot is
the all-everything running back that Texas fans would like to think. He's no Earl Camp
bell. Texas fans need to come back down to reality and realize he might be as
runner as former A&M star Roger Vick - and that's on a good day. Lastly, as highlvas
defensive end Shane Dronett was rated in preseason polls, he wasn't overrated. He may
spell doom for Auburn.
Auburn... The Tigers march into Memorial Stadium the thirteenth ranked team in the
country. It may be reaching to rank them that high, but anyone who is consistently in the
hunt for the Southeastern Conference title, year after year, needs a medal. Auburn is
and is coming off a 23-13 victory over Mississippi,
key matchup... The fate of the Longhorns is again left with the No. 1 rated defensive
line in the country of Dronett, Bo Robinson, Tommy Jeter and James Patton. They must
get to Auburn quarterback Stan White before he finds receivers Herbert Casey and Pedro
Cherry'. And the two speedsters will get open against a questionable Longhorn defensivt
backfield.
vvhery'where... noon. Memorial Stadium in Austin,
line... Texas by 3.
Baylor (2-0) vs. Missouri (1-0)
Baylor... What more can you say about the Bears. Last weekend's victory ovei
defending national champion Colorado proves head coach Grant Teaff may finally have
his championship team together. Defensive tackle Santana
Dotson, a Lombardi Award candidate, and teammate Robin
Jones make up one of the best defensive line duos in the nation.
Dotson has been slowed by an ankle twist this week, but expect
him to play Saturday. And the Bears’ win over the Buffaloes was
no fluke. Baylor out gained Colorado, 428-322, and held them to
under 20 points for the first time in 27 regular-season games.
Missouri... The Tigers have been picked by many to finish in
the middle-to-bottom of the Big Eight pack but don't jump to any
conclusions. Missouri is good at playing the role of 'giant killer.'
Last season they trounced Arizona State and it took Colorado a
controversial fifth down to win. But the Tigers are lacking the
type of defense it takes to contend with a team like Baylor,
key matchup... Baylor should walk away from this weekend with another victory
under its belt. And with their defense, there isn't much Missouri can do about Baylor
fullback Robert Straight running all the way to the moon on Saturday. Don't forget,
though, that past Baylor teams under Teaffs direction have periodically decided not to
show up for certain games.

National Outlook
players to watch...
David Klingler, QB, Houston... After a dismal performance against Miami
during the Cougar’s 40-10 loss, Klingler has to put up or sit down. Mr. Heisman
weights for no one and especially has no patient with those who choose to get
embarrassed on national television. Klingler completed 32-of-59 passes for 216 yards in
the Miami game. The Cougars play at Illinois this Saturday and Klingler should have
better luck against a weaker defense.
Steve Emtman, DT, Washington... The Heisman Trophy is long from being
decided but the race for the Lombardi Trophy, which honors the nations top lineman,
could be greatly effected this weekend. Texas’ Shane Dronett and Baylor's Santana
Dotson both play this weekend and whoever has the big game goes to the top of the
list.

Game of the week:
■ Washington (1-0) vs. Nebraska (2-0)
Washington... The Huskies are No. 4 in the country by the Associated Press and de
servedly so. Washington possesses a defense that should calm a Nebraska offense that
has managed 1,483 yards of offense in only two games. This is one of only three real
challenges to the Huskies taking a trip back to Rose Bowl and vying for a national
championship. USC and UCLA are the only other real teams on Washington's schedule
and head coach Don James isn't going to let Saturday's game get away from him. Ex
pect this matchup to be reminiscent of last weekend's Baylor-Colorado clash.
Nebraska... The No. 9 Cornhuskers do something the Houston Cougars are known
for: running the score up on weak opponents. They're coming off a 71-14 thrashing of
Colorado State. Nebraska ran up 696 yards of offense, including 529 yards rushing
against the Rams last Saturday. Running back Derek Brown rushed for 121 yards and
two touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, the Cornhuskers look strong as well with
6-2, 225 pound linebacker Travis Hill leading the way.
key matchup... Nebraska obviously has put together a great running game under the
direction of head coach Tom Osborne, but it's only great against average teams. Surely
some of the Nebraska players go to Church but not enough to gain 400 yards rushing
against the Huskies. Washington defensive tackle Steve Emtman is the best in the land
and will show it Saturday. The Huskies can't completely shut down Nebraska but may
be able to do it just enough to pull out a victory,
when/ where... noon, at Nebraska,
line... even.
