"You can't sit there and say, "rr and, they made some outstanding defense plays." Johnson said the mistakes made by the A&M defense and the inability to drive in runs, might be due to inexperience in the College World Series. A&M's bats couldn't drive in the runs, stranding 10 men on base. "Maybe it's one of those things where you fight real hard to get to a regional, then learn how to play in a regional, then you get to fight real hard to get to Omaha, then you have to learn to play at Oma ha," he said. Texas A&M shortstop Robert Harris said he wasn't going to 'What if . . . ' all day," he said. If we had made a couple plays, we could have won that ballgame, or they could have stomped us." Harris said he will be ready for next year. "I think that we've got a good shot at coming back next year," he said. "I don't think that anybody on the team is happy about the way we played or about just be ing here. We wanted to win this thing." Johnson said he expects next year's team to be another solid ballclub and lauded the 1993 team for its accomplishments. "We have some outstanding athletes coming back," he said. "I think this '93 group has given us a new vision. Now we have some tangible evidence about Omaha." osu Continued from Page 5 got the winning run home when he doubled to the 408- foot sign in center field. Long Beach State, which eliminated Texas A&M 6-2 ear lier Tuesday, plays LSU on Wednesday and Oklahoma State plays Wichita State (57-16) on Thursday. Tim Harkrider hit a two-run homer in the second to give Texas a 2-0 lead, and the Long horns chased Oklahoma State starter Earl Wheeler with two more runs in the third. Stephen Larkin doubled in a run, then scorted on a double by Joel Williamson. The Longhorns made it 5(1 in the fourth when Heinrich scored as Oklahoma State short stop Fred Ocasio dropped Jerry Taylor's fly ball. Triplett's two-out double in the sixth scored Hugo with the j first Oklahoma State run. An in ning later, Roberto Lopez sin gled in a run, Hugo had a run scoring double and Peter Pro- danov had a two-run single to tie it. Texas had the tying run on base in the ninth after pinch hit ter Tony Vasut walked with one out. But Gaiko (3-0) retired Jeff Conway on a grounder to third and got Heinrich on a called third strike. The Stephanie Dave Thor Mack Han Knoblauch Continued from Page 5 only thing that is different is the simple difference in level of com petition and the way that you go about winning games." Knoblauch sees the current Ag gie situation as a way to prove what kind of a team they really are. "Anything's possible," Knoblauch said. "In any event, it's a chance to see what they're made of now. They are great competi tors, and they know that their backs are against the wall. "With the pitching they have and their ability to score runs, it can be done," he said. "Anything can happen." Unfortunately, the Aggies were knocked off by Long Beach State on Tuesday, 6-2, but Knoblauch said he believes that the impor tance of A&M reaching the Col lege World Series will have a long-term effect. "Now that they've made it, they'll be a household name like Texas, Oklahoma State, Wichita State and Arizona State," he said. "Now that they have made it over the hump, I think that they'll be there for the years to come." Knoblauch said he wouldn't trade his World Series victory for a National Championship, but he does wish he could have had the chance to play in the biggest game on the collegiate level. Knoblauch turns a double play against TCU at Olsen Field on April 22, 1989.

"Had I not experienced the Major League World Series, I might have a different view, but that is the top game at this level which is as high as you can go." Knoblauch has seen success at all levels, but he warns that the jump to the next level is a totally different experience. "A&M has got a great pro gram," he said. "If the guys don't know how good they've got it now, they need to appreciate it while they have it because once they leave there, you can't go back." Now that the Aggies have fin ished their 1993 campaign, many of the key players of this year's cast will not be returning. Knoblauch has some advice for those who are leaving this year and for years to come. "You can go back and visit, bu you can't go back and put on the A&M uniform," Knoblauch said. "It's something I know a lot of guys, including myself, miss play-1 ing at Olsen Field and being a in. ^ . part of A&M." 1 Board consti at the unive sents.

Fe Clay Continued from Page 5 ballplayers or highly specialized adventurers such as rock climbers engaging in their per spective endeavor and then cele brating their accomplishments by drinking? We have grown accustom to alcohol consumption as a cele bration of physical prowess. Af ter a softball game the first ques tion asked is who's going to get a beer. This isn't a bad thing in it self; but what about the boy play ing Little League baseball who watches televised sports in hopes of learning something about be ing a better ballplayer. First, he hears adults around him talking about grabbing a beer as a re ward for playing hard, then he sees this idea reinforced by slick ads during a televised game. At what point in his athletic career does he equate alcohol with be ing a good ballplayer? It's a valid question and one that a lot of athletes have dealt with. This strategy isn't limited to sports audience alone. Beer com mercials advertise their product as necessary to social acceptance in the adult world. Adolescents see athletes and physically attrac tive people drinking with their friends laughing, successful and happy. It seems like the perfect scene to a gangly child with acne. The sexual connotation isn't lost on young people either. Boys are seeing a relationship be tween drinking a certain brand of beer and how much attention they will get from lightly-clad, seductive-looking women. Young women are learning that it is perfectly fine to wear a skin tight dress that stops at the top of the thigh. Would you feel like your future daughter was safe going to the Dixie Chicken dressed like that? Beer commercials depict women as objects to be obtained through the use of their product. Should it be normal for adoles cent girls to believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being only the object of sexual fulfillment? The beer industry uses sports to sell their product and it is in their best interest to ensure a fu ture market. If you create the im age that your product is a part of being not only a great athlete but socially acceptable, then you have ensured a future market. There is nothing wrong with drinking in moderation. But, us ing sports to influence the deci sion to drink degrades the whole idea of being an athlete. It takes more than alcohol to be a good athlete, we all know that. The next time you're watching the game with your kid brother or sister make sure they know it, too. tiation of a the authoriz; nancing sysb Much of t discuss doi sh own: Mens moJel M929BGS ^ Also available Men s model M929BGSCS with black matte crocodile strap.
