Clemens hints at possible trade to Rangers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Houston native
Roger Clemens says he'd like to
be throwing fireballs in his home
state.
Boston Red Sox officials say
they're not interested in trading
their All Star pitcher.
But Clemens said he is encour
aged by media reports of early
trade talks between the Red Sox
and Texas Rangers.
"I'd love to come closer to
home," Clemens said Monday at a
celebrity golf tournament south of
Houston. "Anybody in his right
mind would."
The Rangers appeal to Clemens
for several reasons: He would be
closer to home and his two young
children.
And he would like to return to
the "environment" in which he
grew up and pitched, at Hous
ton's Spring Woods High School
and at the University of Texas in
Austin.
He said he liked the prospect of
pitching for a team he considers a
pennant contender. The Red Sox
finished last in the American
League East with a record of 73-
89.
"I'm concerned with our ball-
club," he said of the Red Sox.
"Finishing last for the first time
wasn't a great deal of fun."
Clemens, 30, said he isn't sure
how sincere Boston officials are
about keeping him. He said he
was surprised to learn through the
media of a possible deal with
Texas.
He all but ruled out a desire to
play for the Houston Astros, say
ing the price they would have to
pay would gut the team of its tal
ent.
"And I'd be back in the same
boat."
For all the talk, though,
Clemens said he did not expect to
be traded.
Rangers managing general
partner George W. Bush told
Dallas Morning News it may
impossible to work out a
with the Red Sox. Club sources
cently indicated that Boston*
interested in major league
run-leader Juan Gonzalez.
"I don't think Boston wants
get rid of (Clemens)," Bushsai:
Monday. "We've called tb:
every year and told themofon
interest, and they've never cale:
back. As far as I know, they’n
happy with him.
"I wish there was somethin!
there, but I don't think thereis"

Continued from Page 7
Givens said that tonight's
match will give Williams a chance
to strut her stuff and expand upon
her improvement in practice.
"She's not had the opportunity
to start before, but we felt she was
ready, and she said she was
ready," he said. "We're going to
give her the chance to prove it.
"In practice, she's been playing
well, and has earned the right to
start."
Givens has made another move
to shake up A&M's stagnant of
fense, removing Genny Wood
from her setting duties and play
ing her exclusively at outside at
tacker in order to improve the
Lady Aggies' passing.
"Part of our offensive problems
stem from our problems at the
passing game," Givens said.
"Genny is our best passer, and
Suzy (Wente) is starting to get a
feel (for playing setter at the col
lege level)."
The A&M junior and leader in
assists has put her personal goals
second to team needs with her
new duties.
"It'll be different for me,"
Wood said. "I'll have more pass
ing responsibilities, and that's
what we need."
Givens spoke highly of Wood
and her commitment to her team
mates.
"Genny is a team player," he
said. "Her attitude is 'Whatever I
can do for the team to get better.'
"That (playing her exclusively
at attacker) would be like taking
your quarterback and moving him
to running back, if you want to
use that analogy."
Wood and her teammates
might want to take on the attitude
of a mean, hard-hitting linebacker
tonight as they try to regain the
killer instinct that the Lady Aggies
used so well earlier in the season.
A&M flew out to hot siarts
against Texas Tech and Houston,
but were unable to slam the door
in each match.
"Right now, we're looking to be
more consistent and not let teams
come back like against Houston,"
she said. "I mean, we were kick
ing their butts in the first game
and let them come back.
"Once they (A&M opponents)
start playing better, we have to,
too."
Whether the Lady Aggies will
get the chance to be tested tonight
is a mystery. Baylor has won
eight of their last nine matches,
but their only conference win has
come against lowly Rice.
Despite any questions about
the lack of a tough schedule, Bay
lor's individual numbers are some
of the best in the conference.
Heather Williams leads the
SWC in kill average at 3.81 per
game, followed by teammate Jen
ny DeLue with 3.29. And setter
Cory Siverston is second in the
conference in hitting percentage
with a .397 clip.
Baylor's potent offense carries a
team hitting percentage of .265
into the match, compared to
A&M's .179.

"It was a big factor having him
back last week."
Ellisor said he was especially
pumped up for the Tech game,
since he had been doing one of his
least favorite things for two
games —watching from the side
lines.
"I had been sitting out for two
weeks, and I came ready to play,"
Ellisor said. "Sitting on the side
line sucks."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum,
who saw Ellisor, Harrison and
Wesley miss spring practice be
cause of injuries, said he felt his
line had progressed a great deal,
and that the unit had done a good
job of recovering from the time
missed.
"I'm really pleased with the
progress the line has made, con
sidering the time they missed dur
ing the spring," Slocum said.
"They have established that we
can run the ball pretty effective-
1 y"
Slocum also said one of the rea
sons the line was beginning to en
joy success was the number of
leaders he had within the squad.
"When John returned, that
gave us the senior leadership we
had been missing for the past few
weeks," Slocum said. "Dausin is
also a leader-type of player, and
we've also seen a lot of improve
ment in our line. We've seen Jason
Mathews get better each week,
and I hope everything keeps
falling into place."
With running backs like Hill
and Rodney Thomas running^ be
ing became that nufch sweeter.
"With those two back th
any defense we play isjustgoiri
to be shaking in their pants,
Dausin said. "I especiallylili
watching Rodney, becauseli
won't try to juke anyone,he'lljuj
run over them
"Any lineman will tell you,
when a back gives that extraeftnt
and gives as much effort astli
line does, it really pumps you up,
If you see Rodney or Greggointi
the secondary and put someom
on their back, it gives meevei
more incentive to play even hard
er."

don't get to decide who plays
where on Jan. 1.
That's right, those pesky AP
sports writers get to decide who
comes to the Cotton Bowl and
play our boys on New Year's
Day, a situation that must stick in
the craw of every God-fearing
coach in America.
There is something this season
known as the Bowl Alliance.
What that means, in simple
terms, is that the four major
bowls not locked into conference
matchups will share the wealth
in an attempt to match up the
two best available teams on New
Year's Day.
The Rose Bowl is not part of
the alliance since it hosts tlie win
ner of the Pac-10 conference
against the winner of the Big 10
conference, which today would
be Washington and Michigan,
both of whom are ahead of the
Aggies.
That leaves us with the Cot
ton, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta
bowls as the major players in the
alliance, all having an opportuni
ty to host a national champi
onship contest.
The alliance includes those
four bowls and the conference
representative which goes with
all but the Fiesta bowl, and teams
that are independent of any bowl
affiliation, including Miami,
Florida State and Notre Dame.
The winner of the Southwest
Conference goes to the Cotton
Bowl, the Southeast Conference
champion goes to the Sugar
Bowl, and the Big 8 winner goes
to the Orange Bowl.
As of today, those three teams
would likely be A&M, Alabama
and Colorado.
The Alliance will match the
highest-ranked independent
team with the highest-ranked
team represented in either the
Cotton, Orange, or Sugar bowls.
Or if two independents are
ranked ahead of the conference
teams, then they will play in the
Fiesta Bowl.
That would mean that Miami,
currently ranked second behind
Rose Bowl bound Washington by
just one point, would play Alaba
ma and any chance the Aggies
have at a national title would be
gone.
The Aggies aren't getting
nearly as much respect from the
writers as an undefeated team
that has played quality op-
ponenets should be getting.
That is unfortunate, but un
derstandable.
We played what was per
ceived to be a good Texas Tech
team and squeaked by them on a
last second field goal.
Uunfortunately, Tech
marched into Raleigh, N.C. the
next week and had their heads
handed to them on the way out
of town as 25th-ranked North
Carolina State went on to a 48-13
romp and upped their record to
5-2.
That is not the worst of it,
Stanford is lurking back at the
eighth spot this week and if they
beat No. 1 Washington in he
weeks, watch out.
And there is an ugly mood on!
there when it comes totheAg- 1
gies.
We all know that the Aggie; |
traveled to California in Augusi
and defeated the Cardinal, spoil
ing the homecoming of Bill.
Walsh. But there aren't many
people out there who think we
would beat them this week. 1
spoke to one AP voter who said
exactly that, and then voted ac
cordingly.
So let the team play, and the
coaches coach, and go out to Kyle
Field, and yell until you cough
up a lung Saturday because tins
team has got to start dominating
other teams and move up in the
polls.
And if my word isn't good
enough for you, find President
Mobley and ask him.
