A&M track team runs in Texas Relaj
By Gregory Williams
Special to The Battalion
The Texas A&M men's and
women's track team will travel to
Austin today to participate in the
65th Annual Texas Relays, cap
ping months of intense training
and preparation.
The team is led by Winston
Chambers, a senior from Kingston,
Jamaica, and Richard Murphy, a
sophomore from Pittsburg, Texas.
Chambers has run a time of
52.15 in the 400-meter intermedi
ate hurdles, while Murphy has
recorded times of 52.46 in the in
termediates and 14.20 in the 110-
meter high hurdles.
"My goal right now is to try
and qualify this coming weekend
and at the same time help out the
team as much as possible," Cham
bers said. "I know it won't be an
easy task, considering I also have
to run the 4x400 mile relay.
A&M coach Ted Nelson said if
the team goes to the meet and
"takes care of business," it should
be successful.
"I think Chambers and Mur
phy will be able to supply the con
fidence that this team needs," Nel
son said. "Both athletes have de
veloped a competitive spirit over
the last month, which will carry
over into the meet this weekend."
Murphy will compete in the
110-meter nigh hurdles relay and
the sprint medley.
"I have my work cut out for
me," Murphy said. "Each event is
rather tough. Hopefully I will sur
vive the heats and make it to the
finals on Saturday."
Both athletes started training
more than eight months ago by
utilizing a proper diet, weight
training, running 20 miles a week
and taking part in polymetrics -
which includes running stairs,
bounding, and frog leaps.
"After coming off a long sum
mer break, it was time again to
start training for the '92 track sea
son," Murphy said. "I was enthu
siastic about going to training ev
eryday, every week for the next
nine months.
"Last year I got beat a
just there to be running. Hu;
I feel much better. lamsti;
and much faster."
Chambers said thetrainis
been rough for him as
"It hasn't been easy,” C
bers said. "But once youaie
track world, you know the
fices that you will have to®
order to achieve greatness’
Murphy said most fans
track people just go to the
and run.
"There is more to itthail
Murphy said. "In order fori
get ready for the hurdles, lit
start running them in Decenil
do a lot of polymetrics, wei
run the stairs and doatlw
abdominals a day."
Nelson said both athlete
shown maturity since last
meet. "Chambers and Mi
are the two athletes who are
to step forward and mov
team in the right direction,'
son said. "Both athletes'
ethics have changed and
could carry over to the next.’

Texas, 5-4, in Austin on Tuesday.
A&M was scheduled to play
the University of Texas on March
27, but rain forced the postpone
ment of that match until later in
the year. The Aggies have not
played since March 21 when they
took out 25th-ranked Cal-Irvine, 5-
3.
Men's head coach David Kent
said Tech proved to be a worthy
opponent last year, and he expects
no different Friday.
"Texas Tech is a very tough
team," Kent said. "They beat us
last season and have about the
same team returning this season.
We have not played in a couple of
weeks, so we will have to have an
especially solid effort."
The Aggies then travel to
Waco to take on the Baylor Bears
on Saturday.
The A&M women's team con
tinues its brutal schedule with a
match against Notre Dame. The
Fighting Irish have a record of 6-7,
and defeated Kansas in its last out
ing on March 27.
The Lady Aggies lost two
games last week to Southern
Methodist and tenth-ranked Ten
nessee. They have a record of 7-10
and own a 2-2 league mark.
Women's coach Bobby Klei-
necke said the women's team will
need their best effort against the
Irish.
"Notre Dame's got a tough
team," Kleineeke said. "They had
a good win over Kansas, who was
17th in the country. But they've
had some losses too that have sur
prised me. So I think they're kind
of up and down right now."
Lynn Staley, who has recently
• come back from a nagging back in
jury, has struggled since her re
turn. Kleineeke said she's gradu
ally improving, but he needs a
good performance from her Fri
day.
"It's been a battle for her," he
said. "She's going up against ev
eryone else's No. 1 player, so she
hasn't been playing well. But any
time she could come through with
that great game.
"She's capable of beating them
if she plays well."
Staley's problems have high
lighted a roller-coaster type year
for the women's team. The Lady
Aggies have the potential to do
well, according to Kleineeke, if
they can just get over the hump.
"They've kept their heads up,"
he said. "We've seen some bright
spots. We played well against
Tennessee.
"We're competing well, but
we're losing. We've just got to
keep fighting."

baseball. CBS bought the telecast
rights to baseball and paid a bil
lion dollars and some change for
it. It was, in every sense of the
word, a mistake.
Rather than cover a game,
sometimes two, every Saturday,
including some Sundays and
weekdays as NBC did, CBS opt
ed for only 16 regular season
games. Why would anyone in
their right mind pay that much
money for something and then
agree to that kind of reduction in
the amount of games it can
show? It wound up hurting their
profits as well as hurting fans.
Not only did CBS drastically
minimize the amount of games
televised on their network, they
also filled the booth with an
nouncers nowhere near the
kaliber of Scully, Garagiola, Bob
Costas, Tony Kubek, or even
Dick Enberg.
For an announcer, Tim Mc-
Carver makes a good plumber.
To compare him to the aforemen
tioned list is like comparing the
models of Sports Illustrated's
swimsuit issue to Roseanne Barr.
McCarver was an outstand
ing catcher in his playing days,
but announcing isn't his bag.
The 1990 All-Star game is a good
example.
Rangers' second baseman
Julio Franco came to the plate in
a clutch situation for the Ameri
can League. McCarver astutely
said that from a National League
point of view. Franco was a good
man to have at the plate because
he couldn't hit in the opposite
field.
Franco calmly stepped up
and hit an opposite-field double,
which not only won the game for
the AL, but also brought him All-
Star MVP honors.
