grasp on fore
arm bashes and
chest-butts.
They are cele

player has done
something to
help his ball
club win a
game.
The one
thing I have trouble with is when a
guy does something good and one of
his teammates slaps him on the butt.
Were his arms really tired but he
still felt the urge to whack some
thing? Was there some magical abil
ity in his hands that could only be
passed through his teammate's bot
tom? Or was he remembering his
terrible childhood and lashing out at
the society that abandoned him? I
don't know, but there must be other
alternatives to the fanny-smacking
syndrome I keep seeing in profes
sional sports.
Michael Jordan is taken out with
4.3 seconds left in the game after
scoring 57 points in another Chicago
victory. He is met at half-court by
Bulls coach Phil Jackson, who shows
his appreciativeness of Jordan's play
by:
A. A simple hand shake.
B. A great big bear hug followed
by the phrase, "The dolphins are in
the jacuzzi."
C. Grabbing and kissing him on

A&M power display blows away Rice

Pitching and defense wins champi
onships, the old saying goes, but this past
weekend at Olsen Field the Texas A&M
baseball team captured a tie for the
Southwest Conference championship
with its bats.
The No. 1-ranked Aggies (44-6 overall,
13-2 in SWC play) swept the Rice Owls
(35-16, 7-11) by a score of 7-6 Friday
night, and 12-9 and 16-10 on Saturday.
Coupled with two losses by the Uni
versity of Texas against Texas Tech on
Saturday and Sunday, the Aggies will
only have to win one game next weekend
against the Longhorns to clinch an out
right conference championship.
But to get to that position, A&M had
to stave off the Owls, which was not an
easy chore. Both team's pitching took
their lumps, but the Aggies were able to
win the battle of attrition.
Lefthander Jeff Granger pitched a
complete game on Friday night, but fel
low lefthanders Trey Moore and Kelly
Wunsch struggled on Saturday.
In the first game, Moore lasted only
two and two-thirds of an inning, while
Wunsch was pulled in the top of the
fourth of the second contest.
A&M coach Mark Johnson said that
even the best starting pitching will go
through rocky times, but A&M's hitters
picked up the slack.
"We played a little ugly defensively,
but I thought we hit the ball when we
needed to," Johnson said. "We had to go
into our bullpen, which we haven't had
to a lot of on the weekends. The guys

Texas A&M's Patrick Bates, a hard-hit
ting safety who came out of college early,
was the only Southwest Conference play
er taken on Sunday in the first round of
the NFL draft.
The 6-4, 225-pound Bates, who is from
Galveston, was the overall 12th pick and
went to the Los Angeles Raiders.
"Bates is a tremendous hitter and has
excellent speed," said Dallas defensive
coordinator Butch Davis. "He gives the
Raiders a Ronnie Lott-type safety."
Bates has run the 40 yard dash in 4.4 to
4.5 seconds and had 95 tackles, 65 of them
solos, in the Aggies SWC championship
season in 1992.
He had an interception in the Aggies
Cotton Bowl loss to Notre Dame.
Bates, who played at UCLA his fresh
man season, played at A&M two years.
Bates said he was thrilled with being
chosen by the Raiders.
"It will be a good team for me to play
