The former WBC super feather weight and lightweight champion appeared intoxicated and was car rying a small bag of what appeared to be marijuana, police said. The incident occurred at the Mi ami International Airport Hilton Hotel. When police approached Camacho, he ran out of the lobby into a parking area. "If you want what's in my hand, you're going to have to catch me," police quoted Camacho as telling the officers. Wearing a T-shirt bearing his nickname, "Macho," Camacho al legedly fought with the officers as they subdued him. Later he kicked one of the officers while being booked into the Dade County Jail, according to police. 19th-ranked Aggies face SWCfoes in Austin this weekend A&M golf team cracks national top 20 poll FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS i go thre team has finished in the top tnree in the first three tournaments in which they have participated in this fall, moving them into the Golf week/Taylor Made National Collegiate Rankings for the first time this season. The Aggies, tied for 19th in the poll, finished first at the Wood lands Intercollegiate Tournament, then finished third at the Wolf Pack Classic in Lake Tahoe, Neva da, and placed second at the Stan ford Intercollegiate in California. A&M golf coach Bob Ellis said that he is glad to be recognized as having a team worthy of being ranked. "It is always good to receive top 20 recognition," Ellis said. "It shows how well we have played so far this fall." The Aggies next competition comes this weekend at the Morris Williams Golf Course in Austin, in the Harvey Penick Intercollegiate Tournament. The tournament format calls for 54 holes to be played, with 36 holes to be played on Friday and the final 18 to come on Saturday. Of the 12 teams participating in the tournament, four are ranked, and all of them are from the Southwest Conference. Every SWC team will play in the Austin match this weekend, including the second-ranked Uni versity of Texas, Southern Methodist University, which is tied for 11th and Texas Christian University, which is tied for 14th. The University of Southwest ern Louisiana, University of North Texas, Lamar University and Stephen F. Austin University round out the field, which is ex pected to encounter cold and wet playing conditions this weekend. 'T think the team that is most prepared for the conditions will win the golf tournament," Ellis said. Texas is led by current U.S. Amatuer champion and two-time defending SWC individual cham pion, Justin Leonard. The Aggies will take Brent Brown, Anthony Rodriquez, Mar co Gortana, Ryan Dreyer, Morgan Brown and Dru Fenimore Austin this weekend. Rodriquez has had a consisi- tent season thus far, finishing in a tie for seventh at the Woodlands, a tie for second at the Wolfpack Classic and a tie for 14th place at Stanford. Brown was A&M's top finisher at the Stanford Intercollegiate, ty ing for third. Gortana will be playing in only his second event of the season af ter representing Italy at the 1992 World Amateur Cup. Gortana fin ished in a tie for 17tn at Stanford. "This is a big tournament be cause we are facing all of the SWC schools, and we are playing at Texas," Ellis said. Ellis hopes that a good show ing at this weekend's event will poise his team for a good spring season. Teaff gets reprimand from SWC for officiating gripes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — The Southwest Conference issued a public repri mand Thursday to Baylor football coach Grant Teaff for comments he made pub licly regarding officiating dur ing the Bears' contest against Texas A&M. The fifth- ranked Aggies beat Baylor 19- 13 in the Oct. 24 contest in College Station to move to 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the SWC. Baylor dropped to 4-4 Teaff and 3-2. The conference's Sportsmanlike Conduct Rule — SWC bylaws 21.01 and 21.02 — preclude coach es from making public comment on officiating. The coach did not immediately return a telephone call Thursday from The Associated Press. A Bay lor spokeswoman said he and team members were at a practice. SWC Commissioner Fred Jaco by said Teaff was proper in his criticism but used the wrong fo rum initially for airing it. "He was very cooperative and very nice about it. He has always been supportive of our officiating program and still is," Jacoby said. "We thought his concerns were valid. We are taking steps to cor rect it. But we do have the policy of no public comments. As a con ference, it takes away from perfor mance of the players on the field when attention is focused on the officiating." Jacoby said the coach should have first leveled his criticism at the SWC supervisor of officials. Teaff had questioned calls on at least three plays, one on which Baylor felt it had scored on a run by fullback Robert Strait in the first quarter. Strait made a second- effort surge and appeared to cross the goal line, however, an official had already blown a whistle ren dering the play dead at the Aggie 6-inch line. Teaff would say later: "We felt we scored down there. The ABC (TV) folks said he was in. My coaches in the booth who saw the replay said he was in. He ap peared to make it easily on his | second effort. I don't know if the whistle had, j^Jown pr not. ... That was real important to us." Teaff also complained that the timekeeper failed to stop the dock after a Baylor incompletion with two seconds remaining in the first half, denying the Bears a 37-yard field goal opportunity. He also questioned an inten tional grounding call on Baylor quarterback JJ. Joe with five min utes that cost the Bears 24 yards and set up a safety. Those plays, left Teaff "feeling very uncomfortable with the judg ment calls that were so ludicrous, it seems there's no way they could be called," Teaff was quoted as saying. Seven years and 73 losses later, Davis High breaks record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Houston Davis High School wrote itself into the national record books Thursday night with a 41-0 loss to Houston Worthing for its 73rd consecutive defeat. Worthing took command with three first-quarter scores against the Panthers, who finished the season 0-10 and broke the record of 72 straight losses set between 1965 and 1974 by Iberia, Mo. Davis Coach Chuck Arnold called an on-sides kick to begin the game, but Worthing covered the ball and marched to its first touchdown with only three min utes elapsed in the game. After Davis fell behind 26-0 early in the third quarter, tempers flared on the next kickoff and both teams flooded the field for a fight that delayed the game 10 minutes. During its dismal streak, Davis has been outscored 2,916 to 354 points. Davis' losing streak started af ter it beat Houston Austin 7-0 on Oct. 11, 1985. After that victory. the Panthers didn't score a point in losing their last five games of the season. The streak continued through last week when Houston Kasn- mere shut out the Panthers 40-0 for their 72nd straight loss, tying the national record set by Iberia, Mo. Davis has been shut out 37 times during the streak and their largest margin of defeat was 77-0 to Houston Yates in 1988 and they came closest to victory in a 22-18 loss to Houston Milby and 19-15 loss to Houston Austin in 1989. Houston Scarborough has sev en victories during the streak, the most of any Davis conquerors. Shifts of the urban population j to the suburbs in the early 1970s [ started the Davis decline. The | Panthers' last winning season was | a 7-2-1 record in 1975. Coach Marvin Pettway left the school in 1988 with a 7-63 record that included the first 34 games of \ the losing streak. Coach Don Hen- nigan led the Panthers over the next two seasons to 20 more loss es, including their 54th loss for the state record. ©tolls/ 0OQ ©©DPOQQSlCaS/ One year Exchanges for '93-94 (Junior Year Abroad) Any & All Majors are Eligible ^1= for this Program. ^ Attend this Informational Meeting and speak to past and present Reciprocal Exchange participants, and pick up an application for the program: Tuesday, November 10 2:30 - 3:45 in 251 West Bizzell Hall Or visit the Study Abroad Programs Office, 161 W.
