Assistant Rudy Tomjanovich, who played 11 seasons for the Rockets and is one of two Houston players to have his number retired, was named interim head coach. Continued from Page 5 had to we got after them and won the games." Johnson said there were some flaws in the Aggies' two-win performance. "I was really disappointed that we didn't come out as ready as we wanted," he said. "We made so many mistakes in the first game it was embarrassing. But we won two games, and that is something to start with, and it is good to be back home again." Johnson also said his club had improved in the first ten games, which was something they needed to do before this "You can't fire the team and something had to be done," owner Charlie Thomas said. "Once you see that things are deteriorating, you have to do something. I'm not blaming Don Chaney. Everyone is accountable and that includes me." Chaney, 45, became the Rockets' eighth coach in the franchise's 24-year history June 13,1988. weekend's series with the University of Houston. "I think we're a lot closer than we were to being ready to play the conference teams, and the more work we get from our pitchers, the more comfortable they feel. The big inning rallies the Aggies have been capitalizing on, Johnson said, have the A&M coaching staff concerned about the lack of consistency at the plate. "We haven't been scoring consistently, and that concerns me," Johnson said. "We've just got a lot of guys who aren't hitting well right now and they will get back in their groove." Continued from Page 5 pitals. Four were sent to Dallas for further treatment and were released two days later. A&M head coach Tony Barone, who himself was hospitalized briefly in Waco, said that the bizarre incident affected the players at first, but now they have recovered and are ready to play. "Once the seriousness of the roblem became evident, the ids and our coaching staff were able to deal with it in a positive way," Barone said. "The initial reporting on the problem didn't indicate how serious it was and what had happened. Once it did, it brought back bad memories for our kids. "But we can't worry about the past, and we can't use it as an excuse. The kids have bounced back, and I don't think it is an issue with us." The Aggies, 4-16, are suffering their worst season since 1954-55. They have yet to win a Southwest Conference game this season in eight tries. A&M won its last game over Texas Southern last Thursday, 75-67, which ended its 12-game losing streak. The Aggies' last SWC regular season win was against Baylor, 66-61, at the Ferrell Center on February 20, 1991. The Bears, 3-6 in SWC action and 11-11 overall, have lost their last three games. Their last loss was to Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday, 84-79. The Bears' ace is guard David Wesley, who leads the conference in scoring with a 25.3 average. Baylor's starting forwards, Kelvin Chalmers and Willie Sublett, are averaging 13.6 and 9.2 points a game, respectively. Hickey, Lady Aggies need win to get back in SWC race Aggies win DH over Crusaders Andro Continued from Page 5 haven't had that much time. A&M coach Mark Johnson said the shortened fall practice has had an effect on his team. A&M also has a young pitching staff. Of the 17 pitchers on the A&M roster, nine of them are making their first major college appearances. "Inexperience is always a disadvantage," Johnson said of the Aggies' pitching. "We're playing quite a few guys that don't have experience. The problem you have with inexperience is that you have all kinds of growth patterns." The only way the Aggie pitching staff will grow is by getting to pitch some innings. That will happen in time. Pitching might not have to be the strength of the Aggies this season. The bats of the Aggies could be sticking it to opponents all season. A&M's returns a veteran infield with first baseman Conrad Colby, second baseman Jason Marshall, shortstop Mike Hickey and third baseman Travis Williams. All four of those players can hit and combined with outfielder Brian Thomas, should form a formidable veteran corps of hitters. And there are also some new players who can hit. Freshman outfielder Scott Smith and junior Eric Gonzalez have proven early on that they will be fine additions to the Aggies lineup. The only thing the Aggies have to worry about during the early part of the season is their confidence. The losses to Rice and Arizona shouldn't faze the team. Rice was the Aggies' first opponent this season and Arizona is the No.14 team in the nation. Losses are going to happen in baseball. Even the immortal 1989 team lost seven times. "That's the scary thing about starting the season this early," Johnson said. "You don't want to get that confidence level shaken in any way. And that's dangerous when that happens. You don't know how guys are going to respond." A few wins this weekend against conference rival Houston should have the Aggies back in form. Something tells me that the Aggies will be able to respond to the early season losses and push all the right buttons when the stretch run starts. Continued from Page 5 the Lady Aggies if they wanted to finish near the top in the conference race. "If we even want a chance to finish higher than fifth in the conference we've got to win, no if's, and's or huts about it," Hickey said. "This is a have-to win, and if we play like we are capable of playing, we should be all right. But we can't walk in there thinking Baylor is going to be an easy win." The earlier game time, Hickey said, could have some negative affects on the Lady Aggies' performance, since it would alter their regular pre-game preparation. "We're not going to be able to have a team shoot-around, and some of the kids are going to have to miss classes," she said. "A lot of things are going to disrupt our pre-game preparation. There are a lot of factors that are going to test our concentration going into this game, including the men playing after us, so we need to stay focused." The Lady Aggies, 13-10 overall and 5-5 in conference play, defeated Baylor earlier this season 73-64 in G. Rollie White Coliseum. A&M disrupted Baylor's gameplan with full-court pressure, and Hickey said she and her staff plan on using pressure defense again since the Bears had trouble with it. "We're going to have to stay in more man-defense than we had last time," she said. "But we are going to use the full court pressure quite a bit, because even though they shoot so well from the three-point line, we think we might take some chances by putting pressure on their ball handlers." Baylor fought back to make the game close in the first contest, mainly by switching zone defenses, Hickey said her team had trouble making the adjustment to the defense. "We've had trouble all year with our halfcourt offense playing against zone defenses, and I think the key to countering that is that we have a good shooting night," she said. "Our last two outings we shot about 35 percent from the floor, so we need to shoot well and do a good job on the boards." The biggest key to beating the Bears, Hickey said, was containing top scorer LaNita Luckey. Luckey scored 24 points in the first meeting between the two teams, and is averaging 18.1 points per game. "Luckey is one of the top scorers in the conference," she said. "She's about 5'11" and can play inside as well as shoot the three-point shot. She's just a real good player who plays more like a power forward than a center." /‘'generalized anxiety DISORDER STUDY A Individuals are being recruited for a research study on Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
