Something
has changed. It
is either the
games them
selves or the
people that
play them. If
the games had
changed, then
there must
have been some
drastic alter
ation in the for
mat. But to
look at base
ball, basketball
and football we
find no real
change over the history of the game
that warrants any concern.
Baseball is still governed by a bat,
ball and four bases. Three outs de
cide an inning and nine players are
allowed on the field for the defen
sive side per team.
Basketball is broken up into four
periods. The ball is thrown through
a cylinder for two points, and five
players per team are allowed on the
court at one time.
In football the field is made up of
100 yards. To score a team must get
a touchdown, field goal or safety.
The quarterback leads the offense
and the game is divided into four
quarters.
Looking at the basic format of
these games, we find that there
hasn't been drastic amount of
change. So, what about the people
that play the games?

Morrison wins WBO title by decision
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Tommy Morrison
turned a meeting of punchers into a box
ing match Monday night, frustrating a
normally calm George Foreman and scor
ing a unanimous 12-round decision that
most likely ended one of boxing's great
comebacks.
Morrison used constant movement to
hold off the plodding but big-hitting for
mer heavyweight champion, piling up
points in a fight few had expected to go
the distance.
Foreman, 44, always seemed a step
slow and a fraction of a second late in
throwing his punches, and was never
12-round loss could end Foreman's comeback
able to use the power that earned him 67
knockouts in 75 previous fights.
Foreman, a look of utter determination
on his face, tried desperately to put his
younger opponent away in the last few
rounds. But Morrison didn't give him an
angle to take advantage of his biggest
weapons.
All three judges favored Morrison, and
all by a wide margin. Judges Dalby
Shirley and Patricia Jarman had it 117-
110, and Jerry Roth scored it 118-109.
The Associated Press had Morrison
ahead 115-112.
The loss was only the second for Fore
man in 29 fights since he began his come
back six years ago after a decade outside
the ring.
And it was probably his last. Foreman
has already signed for a television show
on the fall TV schedule on which he plays
a retired boxer.
"I had great times in boxing and I'm
proud of what I've done," Foreman said.
"God bless boxing."
The decision gave Morrison the lightly
regarded WBO heavyweight title, the
same crown Morrison had fought Ray
Mercer for when he suffered his only loss
in a devastating fifth-round knockout 18
months ago.
"I've redeemed myself to become a
more complete fighter," Morrison said
before the fight.
The victory set up a possible fight be
tween Morrison and WBC heavyweight
champion Lennox Lewis, who watched
from ringside along with WBA and IBF
champion Riddick Bowe.
Although the judges handily favored
Morrison, final statistics showed he land
ed only 260 punches to 225 for the former
champion. But Morrison was the busier
puncher, throwing 572 to 400 for Fore
man.
Foreman was penalized a point in the
10th round for hitting below the belt.
A&M looks to rebound against Long Beach State
By KEVIN LINDSTROM
The Battalion
OMAHA, Neb. - Texas A&M south
paw Kelly Wunsch, who takes the mound
for A&M today in the elimination game
against Long Beach
State, said the A&M
ballclub was frustrat
ed by their perfor
mance in Sunday
night's 13-8 loss to
Louisiana Stat Uni
versity, but is focused
enough to get back on
the winning track
here in Omaha.
"I think we're go
ing to be determined
Tomorrow to go out
and win the game," Wunsch said.
Wunsch (7-1, 4.46 ERA) made the com
ments during A&M's practice Monday
afternoon.
"We were pretty mad about not win
ning the LSU game," he said. "It was ob
vious that if it weren't for a few plays, we
would have won that game easily."
Today's game should come come
down to whether the Long Beach batters
can catch up with Wunsch's high-pow
ered pitching, if Wunsch can keep the
Wunsch
ball in the strike zone.
Long Beach is more of a contact team,
with only two batters that have more
than five home runs.
"If I can get out there and throw
strikes, then I'll be on to a pretty good
start," Wunsch said. "If I can hold the
other team to a few enough runs, we can
score the runs we need to win."
A&M is on a nine-game streak of hit
ting in double digits.
Long Beach is expected to throw their
ace Daniel Choi. Choi was hit hard in
Friday's game against LSU, only his sec
ond loss of the year.
Aggie head coach Johnson said A&M
needs to force Choi to make his pitches.
"If we try to hit home runs, we'll be in
trouble quick," he said.
LBS earned a spot against A&M by de
feating Kansas 6-1 Sunday, sending the
Jayhawks home from their first College
World Series appearance with a 0-2
record.
Ironically, Kansas also had a high-er
ror performance, committing four errors
in the loss to LBS.
Johnson said A&M should rebound
well from their five-error performance.
"I'm not concerned," he said. "But I'm
not going to think that. I'm just out there
to win the game."
Texas loses to Wichita State, 7-6
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Wichita
State's Casey Blake knocked in the tying
run with a two-run single in the bottom
of the eighth, then scored on an infield
error to lift the seventh-seeded Shockers
p>ast Texas 7-6 in the College World Se
ries second round Monday night.
Wichita State (57-16) moves into the
Thursday semifinal in Bracket Two to
await the survivor of Tuesday's 6:36
p.m. CDT elimination game between
third-seeded Texas (51-15) and sixth-
seeded Oklahoma State (44-16). The
Cowboys eliminated top-ranked, sec
ond-seeded Arizona State 5-4 earlier
Monday.
Texas had a 6-3 lead when the Shock
ers came up with four runs on two hits,
four walks and an error in the bottom of
the eighth.
Texas starter Ryan Kjos gave up his
sixth hit as Richie Taylor singled to lead
off the eighth and a two-ball count to
Toby Smith ended Kjos' night. Fresh
man J.D. Smart came on for the Long
horns to walk Smith, Darren Dreifort
and Joey Jackson to force in a run. Blake
followed with a two-run single past
Texas first baseman Braxton Hickman to
tie the game.
Blake scored the go-ahead run two
outs later on an error that would have
ended the inning but Texas shortstop
Tim Harkrider couldn't come up with
Carl Hall's ground hall up the middle.
Jerry Taylor hit his seventh homer of
the season in the second and Texas
added three more in the third with RBI
singles from College Player of the Year
Brooks Kieschnick and Stephen Larkin
and a sacrifice fly by Joel Williamson.
Hall singled in one for Wichita State
in its half of the third but Williamson
made it 6-1 Texas with his fifth homer of
the year with one on in the fifth.
Shocker Dreifort, who joined Ki
eschnick as a first-round major league
draft pick Thursday, hit his 11th home
run in 11 games with Toby Smith on in
the sixth.
Dreifort's first homer of the College
World Series gave Wichita State a 4-3,
11-inning win in the first round against
Arizona State.
