Paul Newman was the star, and he and his team mates spent the entire movie beating up the other teams. Until this year I thought that was how hockey was played. But I always had some questions. 1. Why, when all the rest of the players are fighting, doesn't one guy take the puck and score when nobody's looking? 2. Why would a manly sport like hockey have a rule called "icing"? 3. What exactly are "Canucks" and "Nordiques"? 4. Why is "The Mighty Ducks" considered such a great movie when it is a blatant rip-off of "The Bad News Bears." 5. Why do they call it a "puck"? Matt has lately been trying to inform me about the ongoing NHL playoffs. It seems that the Blues just clobbered the Black- hawks but are now having trou ble with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it doesn't matter any way because nobody can beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, not even the Mighty Ducks. I don't un derstand it either. 1. Why have the playoffs if you know that the Penguins are going to win the whole thing anyway? 2. Has anyone actually seen a Penguin living in Pittsburgh? 3. How come Southern Cali fornia is the home of three hock ey teams? 4. Do you think Lee Harvey Oswald ever played with a puck? So the next time you are flip ping channels at warp speed and you happen to see two grown men fighting on skates, they are just hockey players. It is a simple sport, so don't think too much about it. People like us will nev er get it. 1. Why do they wear pads when they are only made of thin styrofoam? 2. How come that guy can hit the other guy as much as he wants and only get two minutes in the penalty box? 3. How come after a goal do some of the fans throw squids onto the ice? 4. How come when a guy scores three goals it's called a "hat trick" but when he scores four it's called "four"? 5. Do you think Lee Harvey's friends ever called him "Puck" Oswald?

"This is the first year since I've been here that it's been this good - we've got a lot of young people that came in and contributed a lot," Murphy said. Murphy said he had a nagging leg injury, but that it wasn't seri ous and it didn't hinder him last week in the dual meet with Texas. Murphy said that in high school in Longview he wasn't that much of a standout because he didn't have that much natural tal ent, but he said he has worked hard to compensate and is look ing forward to the upcoming con ference and NCAA meets. "I was all right (in high school) - I wasn't one of your best, but I wanted it and had to work for it," Murphy said. Nelson said the women's team had been hampered by the key losses'of last year's All-American athletes, Twylana Harrison and Rosa Baker. "Our women's team had a chance to be better than it ever had and we had some unfortu nate things happen," Nelson said. Nelson said seniors Kalleen Madden and Stacey Ware have been the main contributors to the women's team this year. Nelson cited Madden's tough ness and versatility as the factors in her success in a number of events, including the heptathlon, sprint relays, 100-meter hurdles, mile relay, high jump and the javelin. "Kalleen Madden is kind of the heart and soul of our women's track team - she is outstanding," Nelson said. Ware, who has posted A&M's overall best times in the 1500, 3000, 5000, and 10,000-meter events, has qualified for the NCAA's and has broken A&M's school record in the 10,000 meters twice this year. Ware, a product of Kingwood High School, said this year she is in the best shape of her career at both A&M and the University of Arkansas, where she transferred from two years ago after spending three years of her collegiate ca reer. She said she was happy her first two years at Arkansas until she ran into difficulties with the school's new coach and needed a change. "I really got to a point where I started to ciislike running, and running is my whole life, practi cally," Ware said. "My coach wouldn't let up on me, and it was starting to be too much. "I missed my family in Texas, and I'm really good friends with (assistant) coach Ed Marcinkiewicz, so I came here and I love it," she said. Ware made the NCAA Cham pionships on a provisional basis, qualifying at the Penn Relays in April, and said that she will be looking to climb up the NCAA rankings in the coming weeks to secure a spot at the NCAA's. "Usually toward the end of the season I tend to get into a slump because running so many miles a week takes a toll on you, but this year I'm just as determined to run faster every week as I was at the beginning of the season," Ware said. Ware said preparing mentally for the upcoming weeks would not be a problem. "I mentally picture myself run ning that 10,000 and the girls I'm going to be running against," Ware said. "I know how hard they're training." TCA Cable to offer card live on PPV FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Come Join Us at the Sundance Club for our all-new Complimentary Happy Hour Buffet!
