The game was broadcast to 100 million viewers throughout Latin America in a move by the NBA to gain a wider audience throughout the hemisphere. It attracted a sell out crowd of over 19,000. "The NBA has to be in the biggest city (pop. 17 million) in the world," Houston general man ager Steve Patterson said. "For the NBA, Mexico is a tremendous market. For that matter, so is all of Latin America." The scoreboard at Mexico City's concrete Sports Palace conked out just before gametime, leaving coaches and players won dering throughout the game who was winning and how much time was left. Houston coach Don Cheney Basketball team to hold tryouts The Texas A&M basketball team will be holding tryouts for walk-on positions on Sun day and Monday. Anyone who is interested can attend the tryouts, which will be held in G. Roliie White Coliseum from 7:00-8:30 p.m. on both days. For more information, call the basketball office at 845- 4531. Lady Aggies Continued from Page 5 Granger Continued from Page 5 "Each and every day, I have to prove that I'm the starter, and we want to execute whether we run or pass," Granger said. "Coach (Slocum) wants to pass more. We're just not getting it done." Slocum said that both quarter backs are not to blame for the of fense's slu sluggishness, 're having son ing opportunities," he said. "We're not as far away as where some people think we need to be." Slocum added that choosing between being a good running team as opposed to a good pass ing team was an easy one. "I don't want to be a good passing team that has difficulty running the ball," he said. "If I had to take one over the other, I would rather be a running team that has difficulty throwing the ball." The Aggies take on the Mus tangs in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Jameyson leads the team in hitting percentage with a .373 average and ranks first in kills per game with an average of 3.2. As Givens pointed out, Texas' strength lies in the middle of the court. Jameyson and 6-foot-5 mid dle blocker Sarny Duarte ran wild against A&M in their first meet ing. . . something that Givens re members well. "They really dominated us in the middle the last time," he said. Where the Lady Longhorns tru ly dominate is at home, where they enjoy the most raucous vol leyball crowds in the conference. The 2,075-seat Recreational Sports Center has been a morgue for op posing teams. And Givens is well aware of it. "I don't think they've ever lost before their home crowd," Givens said. "It's going to be pretty loud and pretty rowdy." A&M's veterans know full well how rowdy the Texas crowd can be after losing to the Lady Long horns in three straight games a year ago. Wente said that the ex perience of those players has in fluenced the freshmen, who have become fully aware of what lies in store tonight in front of an expect ed sellout crowd. In addition to a hostile crowd, the Lady Aggies will also be bat tling history. Texas owns a 38-10 series edge over A&M, with a 16-3 lead in Austin. Current Texas head coach Mick Haley has been the driving force behind most of the Lady Long horns' success against A&M, own ing a 30-2 record over his team's biggest rivals since taking over in 1980. Davis Continued from Page 5 name of Doak Walker once rum bled around in the SMU back- field during the late '40s and after having his mug put on some of the most popular publications of the day, including Life magazine, he managed to win a Heisman Trophy. Walker was such a great run ning back, in fact, that somebody decided he should have an award named in his honor, and so he does. The Doak Walker Award is given to the junior or senior run ning back who best exemplifies greatness on the field, in the classroom and. as an upstanding citizen in his community. Last year's recipient was Rice University's Trevor Cobb, who by all accounts fits the criteria perfectly. But Walker was not the only great running back on the Hill top. Kyle Rote nearly made every one forget about Walker, and the SWC shook in terror as the two Mustang runners thundered to more victories and and two con secutive conference champi onships, in '47 and '48. But Rote and Walker may not be the best two running backs to be in the same SMU backfield, because the 1982 team had two of the greatest running backs in conference history.

The two members of the "Pony Express" were the most highly-recruited running backs in the state after their senior year in high school, and they chose to go to SMU together after Collins promised each of them that they would get the carries they want ed. Collins didn't lie. Both Dickerson and James were All-SWC in '80, '81 and '82 and went on to professional ca reers. Dickerson is becoming a sure Hall of Earner, first with the Rams, then the Colts and now the Raiders, while James had a promising career with the Patri ots halted by a debilitating shoul- njury.

The Democratic opponent of Sheriff Ron Miller claims to have an "overwhelming" endorsement of local law enforcement. THE FACT IS he has only 29% of the total possible law enforcement and criminal justice employees--182 names were on his "resounding" endorsement list out of a total 620 possible names. 29% IS HARDLY AN "OVERWHELMING” ENDORSEMENT! :ss: «> We don't need y'all nohow! We don't count on the student vote anyway! .ii -This is a direct quote from Bob Bell, the campaign manager of Democrat Bobby Riggs for Sheriff, at a local candidates dinner on October 10, 1992. Is this the kind of Sheriff’s office that would look after the students needs and respect Texas A&M University as an important part of the community? WE DEMAND RESPECT from our local officials whether they want our vote or not. THE FACT IS the Brazos County Sheriff’s Department shares a close relations! with state & local agencies to ensure the success of many of the Sheriffs programs Ron Miller cares about the student needs and is involved with several studentaflfi community organizations. * Ron Miller has the supervisory experience of overseeing 122 officers and staff with a $4.1 !# annual budget. ...his opponent has 14 officers and two clerks with no budgetary experience. Ron Miller has 8 years experience in jail management (70% of the Sheriff’s job responsibility) ...his opponent has none at all. * Ron Miller has not only an advanced certificate with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcenf but also a Jailer License and Associate Arts Degree in Law Enforcement from Blinn Jr. College. ...his opponent has an advanced certificate. * Ron Miller has successfully implemented 27 new programs at no cost to taxpayers by using volunteers or grants. Sheriff Miller also implemented the Brazos County Boot Camp programfer inmates—one of only four in the state. ...his opponent has created none at all. * Ron Miller also has 8 years lobbying experience for Brazos County. This is crucial for the new laws that concern the Texas Jail Commission. ...his opponent has none at all. The choice is clear. We need to keep Ron Miller as our Sheriff. He hasthejot experience and professional attitude to lead the Brazos County Sheriffs Department into the crucial years ahead.
