The team began working out Monday, and immediately began the search for a new shortstop. Barber is expected to stay in the hospital for three to six days after suffering a dislocated and broken ankle and breaks on both sides of his jaw. A&M baseball coach Mark Johnson expressed concern for the health of his young shortstop, as well as for the direction his team will take without Barber. "At this point in time we are concerned about Paul; about his health, his recovery, and whether he will be able to return to school this spring," Johnson said. "Obvi ously we will miss him. He was hands down our starting short stop." The Aggies will open their sea son Feb. 9th against Dallas Baptist University at Olsen Field, and Johnson said that a top priority before then is to find a new short stop. THE AS "Our infield was, and is, a ma^ jor concern going into this season and this compounds the concern,' qraYSOI he said. "Without question, shorty accusei stop was our weakest depth spol. u r . on our team.

The main individual for LSU is guard Cornelia Gayden, who is the top scorer in the SEC, averag ing 19.5 points per game. Many of those points have come from three-point range, where Gayden has hit on 36 of 101 attempts. Hickey said that stopping Gay den, who also leads the Lady Tigers in rebounds with 8.6 per contest, will be an important fac tor in stopping LSU. ioning sysi "She (Gayden) has a real goocscraper on three-point shot, and we have tcworld's firs shut her down," Hickey saiding to be c* "Having that kind of upper clasiase enviro experience is a big advantage foitrigerants.

Texas A&M's David Edwards made a foul shot with 40 seconds left to make it 83-81, but UNLV's Ken Gibson made a pair of free throws with 4.5 seconds left to force overtime. The Rebels led by as much as six points in the overtime, and Boney's three-point play with 14.3 seconds left made it 98-93 to seal the win. "We're in a rebuilding process," Texas A&M coach Tony Barone said. "I have no problem with what we did tonight. We could hold our heads up high. "We're not as quick or as strong as Vegas, but we played just as hard tonight and that's all you can ask for out of your team. I thought we did a good job of forcing their defense out and cre ating some open shots." Edwards led Texas A&M with 26 points — 11 in the overtime pe riod — and eight assists. Damon Johnson had 22 points and Chuck Henderson 21 for the Aggies. Chicago picks Cowboy's Wannstedt to replace Ditka THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - The Chicago Bears dipped into Dallas for an other hands-on, emotional coach Tuesday, picking Cowboys defen sive coordinator Dave Wannstedt to replace Mike Ditka. Ditka turned the Bears into Su per Bowl champions after he came from Dallas 11 years ago, and now the Bears want Wannstedt to work the same magic. That job starts af ter the Cowboys play the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl on Jan. 31. "It's the right opportunity and right time," the 40-year-old Wannstedt said. Wannstedt has been credited with rebuilding the Cowboys' de fense into the league's best; Dallas held opponents to 15.2 points and 245.8 yards per game in the regu lar season. Bears president Michael Mc- Caskey announced Wannstedt's hiring two weeks after he fired Ditka following a 5-11 season marked by the former coach's flareups with McCaskey, players and fans.

"T tough enough and I'm lookin I forward to the challenge.' Plumer Continued from Page 9 Barone's philosophy is that to be the best, his team has to play the best. The first game of the season for A&M was a perfect example of his philosophy. The Aggies opened at New Mexico, one of the toughest places in the nation to win a road game. That game was not decided until the final shot. Although A&M was not able to register the victory, the 71-69 setback estab lished the tone for the season. It allowed a preview of the im proved play the Aggies would exhibit on the court in all facets of the game. Sure, there have been games when the Aggies were overmatched. The Missouri game was an example. But that was to be expected with the lack of depth A&M pos sesses on the bench. The kind of blowout games that were expect ed with such a tough early sched ule have not materialized. In fact, A&M scored one of the biggest non-conference wins of any SWC school. The Aggies' victory over the University of Florida on Dec. 22 showed just how far A&M had come in a short period of time. A&M regis tered a quality victory over a competitive team at a time the SWC is struggling to gain any re spect in basketball on a nationa level. In fact, the SWC's biggest vie tory, according to most national observers, was actually a loss Rice played Michigan tough be fore finally succumbing to the Wolverines. But there are no such things as moral victories at this juncture for the SWC. For this conference to succeed in basketball there needs to be several teams playing well. Texas A&M has not reached point where it can be considei a definite threat to win the S crown. But with improvemen shown so far and the increasing crowd support, anything is possi ble for this group of Aggies.
