(AP) - Bo Jackson, the two-sport star hob bled for more than a year by a ca reer-threatening injury, decided Tuesday to have hip replacement surgery. Jackson, 29, said he planned to go home to his family before the surgery is performed this sum mer. He said he realized it could mean the end of his athletic career. “Realistically, yesterday could've been my last at-bat in the major leagues," Jackson said. “I know that." Jackson, who became a hero by starring as a running back and as an outfielder, hurt his hip playing for the Los Angeles Raiders in Jan uary 1991. After a rehabilitation program, he came back for the fi nal month of the 1991 baseball sea son and hit .225 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 71 at-bats.

Chicago White Sox owner ry Reinsdorf signed Jackson ti incentive-laden contract spring after the star was releas by the Kansas City Royals. Reinsdorf said doctors ha told him it is possible that jacks may play again, but said odds are long/' “It's in the hands of a high authority," Reinsdorf said Browrdow stays in Dallas Cowboys' LB does not sign with Buffalo IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dal las Cowboys Plan B linebacker Darrick Brownlow did not sign a contract Tuesday with the Buffa lo Bills, who reportedly offered the former fifth-round pick a two-year deal worth more than $725,000. The Fort Worth Star-Tele gram quoted a source as saying that Brownlow would sign the contract with the Bills Tuesday, becoming the third Plan B player to leave the Cowboys for more money. But by Tues day afternoon, officials with the Cowboys and the Bills told The Associated Press that no deal had been signed. Earlier kicker Ken Willis signed with the Tampa Bay Buc caneers and linebacker Jack Del Rio signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Brownlow's agent, Richard Katz, on Monday said the Buffa lo's latest offer was “substantial ly greater" than a previous pro posal. Brownlow had planned until as recently as Saturday to stay in Dallas where he was scheduled to earn $115,000 base and $25,000 bonus in 1992 and $126,500 base and $25,000 bonus in 1993. Del Rio, who with Brownlow had been the only other middle linebacker on the roster, went to Minnesota for a two-year, $1.25 million deal. Willis signed a two-year, $800,000 deal with Tampa Bay. Brownlow, like Willis, had a “stay-home” deal with the Cowboys that called for him to receive a $25,000 advance on his 1992 salary in exchange for turn ing down offers. The Cowboys claimed Willis was unethical in leaving after making the deal. “You get an offer like this, what would you do?" said Brownlow's agent, Richard Katz, echoing the query offered by Willis and Del Rio. Brownlow, 23, was third on the club in special-team tackles, blocked two punts and served as Del Rio's backup.

Brown leads 7 special' A&M tennis squad Continued from Page 7 down the ball and making few er rors while making the other guy frustrated." The A&M team started the 1992 season with eight straight wins, a the fastest start ever under Kent. Then the Aggies lost two of three matches in the H.E.B. Tourn- nament last weekend - a disap pointment for Brown and his con fident teammates. "Both matches we lost, we were tied at three all after singles play," Brown said. "The two matches we lost we should have won and the match we won we should have lost." There is something special about this season's team, but Brown has not been able to put his finger on exactly what it is. "It seems like some teams just aren't quite as good or you really can't explain why they win," he said. "It's just the little something you really can't see. "We have a lot of things going for us this year, which you would rather have than be a better team. You need to have a little luck with the Championships. "I just want to go," he said. "If I had a choice. I'd rather see us make it to the team champi onships than the individuals. But, it's all part of my goal, just to No. 24 Aggies topple Illinois The Aggie tennis team de feated the University of Illinois today, 5-1, at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. This comes after the team's first entrance into the Volvo Tennis Top 25 for the first time since 1988. The Aggies are cur rently ranked at No. 24. A&M will get back on the courts tomorrow to take on Wake Forest starting at 1:30 p.m. at Smith Tennis Center. you. Brown has set an individual goal this season of making it to the NCAA Championships in either singles or doubles. But he would forget about those goals if the A&M team was able to make it to make it to the NCAA, however we get to go, just as long as we get to go." This year's team is one that Brown thinks can fight its way to the NCAA Championship. "If we don't have any more bad losses, I think we can be the second best team in the region be hind TCU," he said. "With a young team and that little intangi ble I think we have, we will win a lot of close matches. "So if we hang in with all the people, maybe we can slip intol NCAA's as the second team inti region as an at-large team." One of Brown's strengthsk been his ability to lead theyo’J Aggie team. "I'd like to think I'm a leadei he said. "I've been around a time. "Nothing really fazes us. H new guys, they're coming off tl junior circuit, it's just so mucbdt ferent here. "A lot of the guys think they' really good coming into here, trying to help them get throuj? the matches and help them some experience by giving the: what little I can." Kent thinks that Brown givi the team consistent play as well a tough edge. "He gives us stability moi than anything," Kent said. To never have to go ask him if ho ready to play. He gets every inf he has out of him. He's a deligl ful kid. "He's been a real asset toon program for four years." Brown plans on stayin around A&M after he graduates December. He hopes to becoflt the assistant coach of the women team and then move on to belt* men's assistant coach. No matter what Brown cides to do, he will give it even thing he's got. all this does nc The womer right ( future provii womei effectiv sex edu to make the go without Unfoi the sin overshi prevent birth co energies about pi the fight option o A pol a holy v from th actually denomi emerge: Life beg point a womb, viability the Ann embrace Pro-cl choice a religiou: choice b the choi( to deter through method provide woman: for herse Thei House c fact th women' politica from op year ais trounce Week re Republi illustrate are fro thought, The is and sac Oianipul tragedy MSC Town Hall presents Digital Underground with special guests Gold Money and Raw Fusion Friday, March 27 7:30pm Dew-are Fieldliouse Tickets on sale NOW Rudder Box Office or Foley f s at Post Oak Mall • All seats General Admission • Students $12 Non-students $14 a woma: ttteans o found Tultitud ^agnitui never ha °f this i; that her: The is Though c hoice w Choice j c ontinua e xploita {bust be] Ft
