about A&M that I wanted to see
for myself because I had planned
on going to school out of state,"
Hendricks said. "But when I de
cided to stay in state, I knew A&M
was the place for me.
"The game had excitement and
enthusiasm. Everybody was
standing up, and they were telling
me it was a tradition. I said, 'Hey,
I don't know if I can deal with
standing up the whole entire
game,' but it was very exciting."
Hendricks came to A&M as a
cornerback last season, but coach
es soon realized that he was large
enough and strong enough to play
as a safety. He was moved to the
new position where he adjusted

consecutive 15-10 game wins over
A&M after the Lady Aggies tied
the match at one game each.
The significance of that match
made a strong impression on the
players, who are already looking
forward to their Oct. 21 rematch
well enough to play as a true
freshman.
"I was a natural corner, and
that's what 1 was recruited as, so
this was something new for me,"
he said.
Hendricks said that while the
positions require different skills,
the adjustments were not difficult.
"The mentality that you have
to have to be a strong safety is dif
ferent since strong safety is more
of a physical game," Hendricks
said. "Like an extra linebacker in
a sense, but then you have to cov
er receivers and tight ends."
Hendricks added that he has
enjoyed the switch to safety.
"When you're a safety, you get
to look at the big picture," ne said.
"As a corner, you're out there on
an island. So safety gives you an
overall perspective of the game.
"I like the switch since I'm the
type of guy that likes to come up
in College Station.
"We really should have beaten
them," freshman setter Suzy
Wente said. "Things will be dif
ferent when we get them on our
own turf."
"We played some of our best
defense of the season against
Tech," Givens said. "They're a
great defensive team as well, so
they have a way of making your
offense look anemic."
Givens is hoping tonight's
match with Rice turns into the

Hendricks made his first col

audience in the Aggie rout

"My first interception wasv
exciting, coming on my third p|
ever on defense," he said. “Iju
couldn't believe it happened to

came to me."
Hendricks is now focusing

would provide the teamwi

"I have every confidence

Fame, his place in which he in
sured two seasons ago.
Dallas Cowboy running back
Tony Dorsett clung to the NFL
vine and the money that went
with it at least two years after his
playing days should have been
behind him. He bitterly left the
sport, saying that he had been cut
because of his outspoken beliefs,
not diminished skills.
Magic's problem is much
more serious than any of those
before mentioned, because he is a
carrier of HIV, the AIDS virus.
Another superstar was faced
with a similar dilemma, but his
grace and humility in the face of
death have become the stuff of
legends, as well as movies.
Yankee first baseman Lou
Gehrig suffered from an undiag
nosed disease during the summer
of 1939. When told it would be
detrimental to continue playing,
he stopped.
Gehrig went home, put his life
and family affairs in order and
waited for a cure which never
came.
The Iron Horse was diagnosed
with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclero
sis, and as a pained nation wept,
he succumbed to the disease
which now bears his name.
I hope that Magic can hang on
long enough for a cure to come,
but the pounding he will take in
another NBA season can only
hurt those chances.
1 have heard some people say
that contracting AIDS is not a
death sentence, and I wish I
could believe that.
But I haven't heard of anyone
getting cured of the menace yet,
and if that is not a death sen
tence, I guess 1 don't understand
the definition of the term.
Someday in the future, hope
fully not soon. Magic will con
tract the disease and willbeginto
suffer from the ailments thatac-
company it.
At first it won't be so bad. A
nagging cold, sneezing fits and
other minor maladies will slow
him down.
But the sickness will not go
away and soon after he might
catch pneumonia or even tuber
culosis. Neither will claim his
life quickly because AIDS is a
cruel killer.
If a cure is not found, and
Magic passes to what I hope isa
better life, it will be after a long
slow decline that will be the most
public and heart-wrenching end
since Gehrig's.
Your fans and admirers will
weep your passing, Magic, andl
shall be among them.
You see Magic, for all your
faults, we love you. And we
want to remember Barcelona,
where for the last time you were
on top of the world.
