Holyfield has
chance to gain
needed respect
I n a sport where
outspokenness
is a job require
ment, undisputed
heavyweight
champion Evander
Holyfield is an
anomaly. 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. Holy-

Lady Aggies ready for success
A&M volleyball team hoping
to make most of potential
ROBERT J. 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."
