Conducting two to three weeks of these drills is a definite advantage if other teams do not. Consequently, there is ressure for many coaches to eep up with the competition and follow suit. Whether A&M coach R.C. Slocum is feeling any of this pressure is unknown. If he is, one can hardly blame him in this day and age. With any other player, save running backs Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas, the impact of an injury in the spring would not be so great. But take a look at the Aggies' quarterbacking situation. Pullig was a revela tion last season as a true fresh man, and with a full spring un der his belt would be almost a lead-pipe cinch for the All- Southwest Conference first team this year. Behind Pullig there is only Tommy Preston, a talented athlete, but one without ade quate game experience. Jeff Granger and Matt Miller are in the middle of baseball season, Kent Petty's eligibility is used up, and Steve Emerson was moved back to quarterback after a stint at linebacker last fall. And in case you've forgotten, A&M recruited no quarterbacks this year. None. If Pullig's injury had been more serious, there probabaly would have been no death knell sounded. Miller was well on his way to the starting job before the return of Granger and the emer gence of Pullig. And anyone who saw Preston play at A&M Consolidated High School knows his immense throwing and scrambling ability. Depth, however, would have been at a Strikeouts Continued from Page 7 think this weekend you could see a lot of people going the other way with (the ball), and we had a lot of opposite field home runs," Fedora said. "When we get ahead we can still put guys in and they play just as well as the starters do. After his performance Friday, Granger has notched 77 strikeouts in 65 innings this year, second in single-season A&M history to his own record of 97 he set last sea son. To break this record. Granger has about a third of a season left to notch 21 more K's, a total he reached in one game Fri day. premium at the position. That would have put a serious dentin the Aggies' chances of another undefeated regular season, as well as a third consecutive Cot ton Bowl berth. Perhaps the NCAA should eliminate contact drills in the spring, or at least put stricter limits on them. Considering the unlikeliness of such a display of common sense by the governing body, several of the higher-pro file coaches around the country would do good to set an exam ple by limiting the number of days their teams practice in full pads and conducting more half speed drills. It's okay-we won't think players are wimps if they don't go full speed at a time when they're at their worst shape. We sure won't think so if a healthy Pullig is throwing touchdown passes in Dallas on New Year's Day. Granger's career strikeout tota now stands at 328, an A&M caree: record he claimed earlier in thi season when he surpassed Marl Thurmond's previous marko: 273. The SWC's full season strike out record was set by Texas' Gref Swindell at 501 in 1985, the same year Swindell pitched a SWC record 172 innings en route to) SWC record 19-win season. D is it h I 1c hi tv m w ce I sp tic be A, Tech 'Swoopes' to national championship THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — A championship game record for Sheryl Swoopes, a championship for her team. Texas Tech's wondrous season is complete. Swoopes showed why she was the national player of the year, scoring 47 points to cap a record- breaking run through the NCAA tournament and lead Texas Tech to its first women's title with an 84-82 victory Sunday over Ohio State. It was the most points in an NCAA championship game by a man or woman and the second most in any NCAA game by a woman. The 6-foot senior also set a championship game record for points in one half (24) and tourna ment marks for total points (177 in five games) and free throws (57). “There are no words to explain how great a player Sheryl Swoopes is," Texas Tech coacl 3D Marsha Sharp said. “We're pleased she was able to show the nation as a whole the great things she was capable of doing." Swoopes, voted the Final Four's outstanding player, carried Tech to the title in its first Final Four appearance. The Lady Raiders finished with 19 straight victories and a 31-3 record and broke a 14-game winning streak for Ohio State (28-4). th; BICYCLE SALE Final Markdown In Progress NOW!
