Olajuwon lifts Rockets over Mavericks in Mexi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY - Hakeem Ola-
juwon's layup with 2 seconds left
gave-the Houston Rockets a 104-
102 victory over the Dallas Maver
icks Monday night in the first
NBA game ever played in Mexico.
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

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.

the basketball office at 845-

"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.

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.
Eric Dickerson and Craig
James were part of coach Bobby

Collins' famed "Pony Express"
that from 1979 to 1982 posted
8,192 yards rushing and 70 touch
downs.
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

njury.

AN OVERWHELMING ENDORSEMENT?...NOT!
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.
