A vocal born-again Christian, Holyfield's al most meek demeanor has cultivated an image as a timid fighter in a profession that requires savage brutality. As a result, many of the so-called boxing experts have deemed Holyfield as soft after decisions over opponents like Bert Cooper and senior citizen George Foreman. Now, Holyfield's low standing in the eyes of his critics has many predicting bus demise as he prepares for challenger Riddick Bowe, a bruising, undefeated hulk that has had more knockouts than birthdays. Bowe's resume is tainted a bit, as he has fought almost as many marshmal lows as Foreman has during his come back. But this summer, Bowe redeemed himself when he knocked out South African Pierre Coetzer, an unflinching boxer with possibly the hardest jaw in the division. That one fight, which last ed seven seemingly endless rounds, spoke more of Bowe's heart than any other of his fights since the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Taking the entire situation at face value, Holyfield appears to be in dan ger of becoming just a more successful version of Buster Douglas. None of Holyfield's fights since he has become champion have been exhibitions of knockout artistry. And the runaround that delayed his ill-fatbd fight with Mike Tyson hurt Holyfield, despite the fact that it wgs the product of squab bling between promoters. But taking a closer look at Holyfield reveals possibly the most economic boxer in the professional ranks.

REED/The Battalion By DON NORWOOD Sports Writer of THE BATTALION The word "potential" is one that teams throw around before the beginning of every season. From national champions on down to the lowliest of cellar- dwellers, every team seems to have that ever-present potential for success on their side, whether it is genuine or not. But as another volleyball season rolls around this week, head coach A1 Givens and the Texas A&M Lady Aggie volley ball team are ready to prove that they are capable of fulfilling the potential they ex hibited time and again during last year's 18-16 campaign. On paper, the Lady Aggies appear to be loaded, having lost only one starter from last year's team. Ten letter-winners are back, led by second team All-South- west Conference and third team Academ ic All-American Elizabeth Edmiston. And A&M football coach R.C. Slocum was not the only coach on campus to bring in an outstanding recruiting class, as Givens welcomes five brilliant new comers, including San Antonio Clark teammates Dana Santleben and Suzy Wente. "Three of the five freshmen are in a position where they could help us," Givens said. "Two of those three have quite a bit of experience, not only in high school, but in club ball as well. Two of the five are behind, but they're working real hard to get caught up." For A&M's rookies, their high school numbers speak volumes about their abili ty. Wente leads the pack at setter, earn ing spots on Volleyball Monthly's second team All-American squad and Fab 50 list of national recruits. Santleben, a Fab 50 member as well, helped Wente lead Clark to a Class AAAAA state championship and a 105-8 record over three years. Joining Santleben and Wente are an other San Antonio native, Churchill's An drea Williams, as well as middle blocker Sally Gibson and setter Renee Kukla. "The freshmen are great," the veteran Edmiston said. "They have real good work ethics. They're not hard to get go ing or motivated at all." If Edmiston sounds like the voice of experience, it is no accident. The only se nior among five returning starters, the Lady Aggies' co-captain led the team in six categories last year. And, as her being named the 1991-92 GTE/Texas A&M Fe male Scholar Athlete of the Year shows, Edmiston is intelligent enough to know her role this year will be a crucial one. "I feel like it's every hitter's responsi bility to put the ball away," the 5-10 Kingwood native said. "I feel like I need to have a good season, not only to be vo cal on the court, but to lead by example as well." Edmiston will not be alone in setting the pace for the Lady Aggies. Juniors Amy Kisling, Kim Mitchell and Genny Wood, along with sophomore Karen Richards, form a nucleus of returning players with starting experience. Throw in a healthy Raychelle Michalke with her Howitzer-like serves, and it is no wonder why Givens is looking forward to his sev enth season at A&M. "This is probably the most experience we've had since I've been here," he said. "The players truly want to win in the worst way. "Do we have the experience and abili ty to win the Southwest Conference championship? I don't know. Do we have the want? Definitely. They have much more confidence than they did last year." "I came here saying that by the time I left, we would win a Southwest Confer ence championship," Edmiston said. "I think if we work hard and get everyone on the same wavelength, we will have a good chance of doing that."
