"Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
or "Jocks"). 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?

Junior A&M sprinter Richard
Murphy, an All-American last
year in the 110-meter hurdles, at
tributes a lot of his team's success
to younger athletes stepping up.
"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."
