DALLAS (AI*) — The Cotton Bowl is moving to

over the life of the agreement.
CBS paid the Cotton Bowl more than $4 million
to telecast the 1992 game between Florida State and
Texas A&M.

Rockets lose playoff berth
HOUSTON (AP) - The

points, 16 rebounds and seven
blocked shots from Hakeem
Olajuwon, couldn't overcome
six Phoenix players in double
figures and failed to grab the
eighth playoff berth by losing to
the Suns 100-97 Sunday night.
Jlie Los Angeles Lakers stole
the final spot with a 109-108
overtime defeat of the Los An
geles Clippers late Sunday

reached the playoffs seven
straight years, could have sealed
a postseason spot with a victory
in any of their last three games,
but lost all three. Jeff Hornacek
scored 18 points for the Suns, al
ready assured of the No. 4 play
off spot in the Western Confer
ence. They beat back a rally led
by Olajuwon, who scored 11 of
Houston's final 14 points.
After leading most of the
game, the Rockets faltered in the
fourth quarter and fell behind
94-83 with 3:38 to play, their
largest deficit of the game. At
one point, the Rockets went
more than five minutes without
a basket.

Texas. Anders Erickson defeated
Weaver 6-1, 6-4, Trey Phillips beat
Brown 7-5, 6-2, and Ernesto Ponce
defeated Phillips 6-1, 6-3.
The confrontations over calls
became so heated during the
matches that umpires had to in
tervene to make some of the calls.
Phillips said Ponce played
well and deserved to win. But the
A&M senior didn't think the um
pires should have stepped in.
"In the first set he didn't miss
a shot, he played very well,"
Phillips said. "I got back early in
the second set but the umpire en
tered the game halfway in the set
and tried to take the game out of
my hands."
The Aggies will now have to
hope their solid season and No.16
ranking is enough for recognition
by the NCAA for a seed in the na

Kevin Smith holds the SWC
record for career interceptions.
"To go into a Washington,
with the Redskins just winning
the Super Bowl and getting to
meet Mark Rypien and Joe
Gibbs, it's been an experience,"
he said. "But I wouldn't want to
do it all over again. But at the
same time, I wouldn't exchange
it with anyone else that didn't
have the opportunity."
Smith knows once he is draft
ed, there will be a lot of money
involved in contract negotia
tions. As long as he adhere's to
his mothers advice, it won't go to
his head.
"I have to stay in the right
frame of mind," he said. "The
thing that my mother told me a
long time ago, 'You can fool a lot
of people, but the easiest person
to fool is yourself. Youcanmail
yourself believe anything.'
"As long as you believe?
that, you can go a long way wtl
