Conner sails into America's Cup defender finals SAN DIEGO (AP) - Dennis Conner wasn't about to surrender his title of Mr. America's Cup. Conner masterfully sailed Stars & Stripes to victory in a sud den-death sail-off over Bill Koch's Kanza on Monday to earn a spot in the defender finals. Conner kept alive his chance to sail in five straight America's Cup finals, leading wire-to-wire to beat Kanza around the eight-leg, 20.03- mile course by 2 minutes, 12 sec onds. Conner's victory also guaran teed that the best-of-13 defender finals, beginning Saturday, will in deed be a battle.

"They did win the series, but they didn't sweep us, so we picked up one which will help when we start looking at regionals. "Every win we get now is very important for us." But the long schedule alone can't be blamed for A&M's sput tering. Inconsistent pitching and the lack of timely hitting has sent the Aggies looking for answers.

The 67-year-old Carnesecca stepped down after 24 seasons at St. John's, a school he took to postseason play each of those years and the only college he ever worked at. "It's going to be very diffi cult to put the ball down, but the time has come," he said at a packed news conference. "There are two reasons, really. I still have half of my marbles and I still have a wonderful taste in my mouth about basketball. It's a difficult decision, but it's all produced zu-win seasons! times. St. John's reachedtlii nal Four in 1985 when thm East teams advanced to tional semifinals at Lexinfc Ky. "I thought hard aboutit last couple of weeks. I ha give it serious consideration, MSC with t said. "Hey, I'll still be here.. mine. Carnesecca jumped into the national spotlight with the cre ation of the Big East Conference. His teams led by Chris Mullin and Walter Berry may not have earned him as much notice as did his penchant for sweaters and his ability to run and jump on the sidelines like a man 20 years his junior. Carnesecca retired with a ca reer record of 526-200. His teams just going across the street Carnesecca will stayonj assistant to the President community relations.

"This is his day and we want to detract from it in way," Harrington said. "We have something to say Tui because we want him toll enjoy this day." scot brme goals oppor Call 8 attend Erik at It was injuries that almost knocked the Aggies completely off the SWC map earlier in the season. Junior second baseman Mike Hickey, who is one of A&M's best hitters, was out for 21 games with a hand injury. Freshman outfielder Scott Smith, who was leading the team in hitting before he broke a bone in his foot in ear ly March, was out for 17 games. With two key players injured, the Aggies stumbled through the middle part of their SWC sched ule, dropping two games to Bay lor at Olsen Field and losing two games to Texas Tech in Lubbock. So while the conference title is pretty much out of the ques- tion, the long, drawn-outsck ule has a chance to redeems It gives the Aggies a chanceto make a comeback.

But if all the critics wereiip about the new schedule, thei gies may be too worn out to make a run at the conferenced- tie. Interested In Public Relations?
