FROM STAFF AND WIRE
REPORTS
The tenth-ranked Texas A&M
baseball team will start the season
without its projected starting
shortstop after Paul Barber, a
sophomore from Queen City,
Texas, was involved in an early
morning auto accident Sunday.
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.

"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. Wrth the NCAAT hool had
reduction m scholarships, deptr in d g t
recruiting is almost impossible.*' ^
Johnson said.
Johnson added that Barber'sTT

The main individual for LSU is

the top scorer in the SEC, averag

those points have come from
three-point range, where Gayden
has hit on 36 of 101 attempts.
Hickey said that stopping Gay

maining.
Rider brought the Rebels back
with a pair of 3-pointers to trim
Texas A&M's lead to 82-81 with
50 seconds to go.
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.

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.
