Adams receives SWC
defensive player award
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M defensive lineman
Sam Adams was recognized for
his play last Saturday against
Southern Methodist by being
named Southwest Conference De
fensive Player of the Week by the
Associated Press.
In A&M's 41-7 win over SMU,
Adams, last year's SWC Defensive
Newcomer of
the Year, had
two tackles, one
sack, two quar
terback pres
sures and an in
terception he re
turned 19 yards
to the 1.
The true
sophomore car
ried a defender
the last nine
yards but couldn't quite punch
into the end zone.
"Our scheme was to try to get
in the passing lanes and bat the
ball down,” said Adams, a 6-4,
282-pounder from Cypress. "That
one just stuck in my hands. I
thought I was going to score.”
University of Texas fullback
Phil Brown was named AP's Of
fensive Player of the Week. He
gave credit to the Longhorn line.
"All the thanks goes to the of
fensive line,” said Brown, a junior
from Commerce. "They make
everything go for us.”
Come on Phil, what about the
Adams
twisting, off-balance, grind 'em up
16-yard touchdown run you had?
The one where you spun out of
the hands of three tacklers?
"The line opened up the hole,"
said Brown, as if protecting secrets
for the military. "Without them,
we're nothing."
Coaches call him boring. Milk
and cookies is an apt description.
But when it comes to the football
field. Brown's humble smile and
monotone voice are replaced with
high steps and dizzying cutbacks
for a 200-pounder.
Brown has been an integral part
of a resurgent Texas ground at
tack. Texas had 337 yards on the
ground against Tech and 261
yards rushing two weeks ago in a
45-38 victory against Houston.
He rushed for 66 yards, includ
ing touchdown runs of 1 and 16
yards, and he caught seven passes
for 95 yards as the 20th-ranked
Longhorns defeated Texas Tech
44-33 Saturday in a key SWC
matchup.
The Longhorns (5-2 overall, 3-0
in the SWC) likely knocked Tech
out of the Cotton Bowl race while
improving their own chances.
The Longhorns' offense, which
is mixing the run and pass effec
tively under new head coach John
Mackovic, has helped make up for
a struggling defense.
"The defense is having a little
bit of a problem, and we just have
to give them time to rest," Brown
said. "We have to help each oth
er."
Walters

tough a challenge as (Texas) Tech
and Baylor were for us."
Walters was also quick to point
out that the Cardinals' 4-5 record
is misleading since they have lost
close games to Ohio State, Syra
cuse and the University of Florida
as injuries have mounted.
"They have got a solid team
both offensively and defensively,
and I don't think that they will be
intimidated coming into Kyle
Field," he said.
Walters saves most of his high
est praise for the man that was his
head coach for four years at the
University of Louisville.
"He (Schnellenberger) is right
up there with Bill Walsh and
(Don) Shula because his track
record is proven, and I think you
should also put R. C. Slocum in
there," he said.
Walters added that he thinks
Schnellenberger is more than just
a coach and that Louisville is a
program worth watching.
"When he took over at Miami,
they were getting ready to dis
band the program and he brought
them from almost nothing, to a
national championship," Walters
said. "And that is his goal at
Louisville. If there is anyone that
can get it done, he can get it
done."
Walters also lauded Schnellen-
berger's ability to prepare his
players for big games.
"He's an outstanding motivator
and an outstanding builder of pro
grams," he said.
Junior running back Ralph
Dawkins poses the biggest danger
to the Aggies, Walters said.
The two-year letterman has led
the Cardinals in rushing and re
ceiving in each of his first two sea
sons.
"He's an excellent back," Wal
ters said. "Tough and strong, not
real fast, but extremely quick and
he has got great moves."
A&M-Louisville
will be televised
FROM WIRE REPORTS
This Saturday's game be
tween Texas A&M and
Louisville will be carried by
ABC on a regional basis, the
network said last weekend.
The fifth-ranked Aggies,
now 8-0 on the season, will be
playing on network television
for the fifth time this season,
and for the third time on ABC.
A&M's Sept. 5 win over
Louisiana State and the 19-13
win over Baylor on Oct. 24
were both carried regionally by
ABC.
The Aggies have two mote
games scheduled for television
this season, both of those being
carried nationally. Games with
the University of Houston on
Nov. 12 and the University of
Texas on Nov. 26 will be car
ried on ESPN.
Lady Aggies
Continued from Page 2
The next day, A&M put in a
better showing against Louisiana
State, but a strong Lady Tiger
squad shut the Lady Aggies out in
three straight games, dropping
A&M's overall record to 13-10.
The contradiction in matches
was one that was surprising to
Givens, even though the end re
sult in each instance met his ex
pectations.
"We went into the Ole Miss
match expecting to win," Givens
said. "We were disappointed
against LSU because we thought
we could take a game from them."
A&M was on the verge of being
shut out by Mississippi. The Lady
Rebels, who entered the match
with only nine wins, sprinted out
to a two-game lead, winning by
scores of 15-7 and 15-12 before
A&M rebounded to take the next
three.
Mitchell played no small part
in that dramatic comeback. The
junior from Marshall logged a ca
reer-high 20 kills, and capitalized
on her kill attempts for a .302 hit
ting percentage.
Mitchell was humble about the
best performance of her college ca
reer.
"I guess you just go out there
and you have to focus on execut
ing, the skill part of’the game"
Mitchell said. "Suzy (Wente) and
Genny (Wood) were really setting
well for us.
"I didn't see myself doing any
thing different (against Ole Miss).
I just did what I had to do."
Davis
Continued from Page 2
Two seasons ago, Louisville
went to the Fiesta Bowl and
capped off a 10-1-1 season by
drubbing Alabama, 34-7.
A&M head coach R. C.
Slocum and the rest of his foot
ball team know where Louisville
is, and they also say that they
have a good football team, as
well.
"Louisville is very, very capa
ble of coming into Kyle Field and
winning this football game,"
Slocum said.
In fact, Slocum didn't sound
real eager to face the Cardinals
on Saturday.
"I would take a onei-point
win, right now, and be thrilled to
have it," Slocum said, laughing.
"We could save Howard (Schnel
lenberger) some money if they
just give us the win and don't
show up."
Junior free safety Patrick Bates
is equally impressed with
Louisville.
"They're a fundamentally
sound tea, and can play with
anybody," Bates said.
And Slocum is right, of
course. He's as right as a coach
guiding an undefeated team
through a long season can be.
Slocum has to guard against
the letdowns that sometimes in
evitably come with taking a
week in the middle of a confer
ence season to play a team that
no one knows and can't effect the
outcome of who wins the confer
ence championship.
And Slocum is taking no
chances in regards to the attitude
his players take going into this
game.
"Most of our fans have al
ready circled this one (the
Louisville game) as a win, and I
told my players, 'Don't fall for
that,"' he said. "'Don't listen to
your parents, don't listen to your
girlfriends, and don't listen to
the former students or whoever
you've been talking to. I chal
lenge you to look at those game
films and not have respect for
them.'"
Schnellenberger's name has
been spoken with the phrase
"coaching genius" in front of it
often in the last few years.
The same thing is often said
about another Aggie foe this sea
son, Bill Walsh and his Stanford
Cardinal.
But everyone knows who
came out on top on that August
night in Anaheim.
And the real coaching genius
on the sidelines on Saturday is
probably the one that is telling
his team that this is no time to
rest on their 8-0 laurels.

If you think science courses are inherently boring and have nothing to offer you, try
the new MSC (Molecular Science for Citizens). This course (listed as Chemistry 106
under the old title in the schedule book) has been developed and will be taught by
Drs. John Hogg and Donald Sawyer, professors of chemistry, and Dr. James Wild,
professor of biochemistry and biophysics and of genetics. The course will provide a
conceptual introduction to the molecular nature of all natural and man-made
materials as well as biological organisms. It will be offered in the spring of 1993 (TR
12:45 - 2:00) and applies to the core curriculum requirement in science. It is endorsed
by the Colleges of Architecture, Liberal Arts, and Business Administration. The
laboratory (listed as Chemistry 116) has been developed by Dr. Larry Peck and will be
unlike any science laboratory you've experienced.
Stop by Room 2109 Chemistry before registration to inspect a complete syllabus.
Registration limited to 200 students.
