Aggie golfer G or tana
named All-American
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M junior Marco Gortana has been named to Golf
World magazine's All-American second-team squad.
"1 am very pleased to see Marco make All-American," A&M
coach Bob Ellis said is a press release. "It is a well-deserved hon
or.
Gortana won the Crown Colony Intercollegiate and the
Louisiana Classics this past spring.
He also placed second at the Augusta College Cleveland Clas
sics and the Border Olympics.
"After the Southwest Conference tournament, he was ranked as
the seventh-best collegiate player in the country," Ellis said. "It's a
shame we didn't make the NCAA Tournament as a team because
if we had, he had a good chance to make first-team All-American.
"But he had a tremendous season and with all he's accom
plished, he deserves the honor."
Gortana had seven top-ten finishes in 11 tournaments; he never
finished out of the top 25.
He ended the season with a 72.5 stroke average. That is the
best average held by an Aggie since current PGA star Jeff Maggart
had a 72.4 in the 1985-86 season.
Gortana is competing in Europe this month. He will be defend
ing the Italian Amateur title he won in 1992. He will also be com
peting in the German and French Amateur tournaments.
Late this summer he will compete in the Porter Cup, the South
ern Amateur and the Western Amateur.
Only three golfers from the Southwest Conference were named
to the first, second or third team list’s.
Texas' Justin Leonard was selected to the first team and team
mate Taylor Tipton made the third team list.

Wichita's Dreifort wins Smith Award
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Wichita State's pitching ace
and slugging star Darren Dreifort, who led
the Shockers to the College World Series fi
nal, won the 1993 R.E. "Bob" Smith Award
on Monday, recognizing him as college base
ball's player of the year.
Dreifort, the second overall choice in this
month's amateur draft by the Los Angeles
Dodgers, beat out another double-threat in
Texas' Brooks Kieschnick.
Other finalists were Texas A&M pitcher
Jeff Granger and second baseman Todd
Walker of national champion Louisiana State
University.
Dreifort, a finalist for last year's Smith
award, was 11-1 with four saves and an ERA
of 2.28. He held opponents to a .180 batting
average while striking out 110 in 93 innings.
The junior also hit .328 with 22 home runs
and 61 RBIs as Wichita State went 58-17. The
Shockers were second in the final Collegiate
Baseball poll and fourth in the final Baseball
America rankings.
Walker, who was the MVP of the CWS
and an all-tournament selection, hit .350 with
three home runs and 12 RBIs as the Tigers
went 8-0 en route to the national title. For the
year, he hit .395 with 22 homers and 102 RBIs.
Granger, who was the Aggies starting
quarterback part of the 1992 season, struck
out 143 batters this year, including a Soufc
west Conference record 21 in one game. His
three-year total of 394 strikeouts is A&M's
all-time best.
Kieschnick, selected 10th in the draftby
the Chicago Cubs, was 16-4 with three saves,
126 strikeouts and a 2.28 ERA. He alsohil
.374 with 19 homers and 81 RBIs.
Dreifort was chosen by 300 members (
the National Collegiate Baseball Writers As
sociation. The selection process began will
110 nominees.
This is the sixth year the award has beer,
given. Other winners include San Diego’s
Andy Benes (1988) and Baltimore's Ben Mc
Donald (1989).

Moon said the thrill of race car
driving has no comparison.
"It's as exciting a thing as you
can do," he said. "It's one of the
most exciting things I've ever
done in my life "
Moon's wife Sandy came to
watch just but got the chance to
ride in one of the race cars.
"It will take your breath
away," she said. "When you
come out of the turn, you think
you are going to slam into the
wall but you don't."
Starr said that though 90 per
cent of the students are just racing
enthusiasts, the school does work
with a few serious racers.
Just last month. Team Texas
played host to former Washington
Redskins football coach Joe Gibbs,
who owns the car driven by Dale
Jarret on the Winston Cup circuit.
Starr said Gibbs and his two
sons were so impressed with the
school that they already have an
other session planned with Team
Texas.
Scott Simpson, who is known
more for his driving of golf balls
down fairways, attended the
school as well.
Starr said Simpson was out
there a few days prior to his 1993
Byron Nelson Classic golf tourna
ment victory.

Mike Starr (second from right) discusses the two-car maneuvers the students are about to attempt.
Nelson, it was his first victory
since like 1989 and all he could
talk about afterwards was how it
didn't compare to driving a race
car," Starr said. "It was on TV and
in the papers and everything: 'It
doesn't compare to racing.'"
Starr said quite a few students
return for more classes.
Moon and Benton have both at
tended the school before.
"It's the bargain of the century
and we learned a lot," Benton
said.
Moon said he returned because
of the hands-on experience.
"No boring classrooms," he
said. "You are in a car and dri
ving within 30 minutes of being
here."
Team Texas offers two differ
ent courses. The first is a six-lap
drive that costs $250 and the sec
ond is a three-day session tha!
runs $1,800. In the three-day ses
sion, the student takes about 10‘
laps at speeds reaching 160 mph.

fore offering myself as a sacrifice
to the fashion volcano, I should
seek more advice. I sought wis
dom from another fashion high
priestess. Heather.
Well, having always been
skeptical of Heather's divine in
sight, I again did not make any
rash decisions.
At first I thought that getting
a new hat would be simple. Af
ter all, I had never bought a hat
before - the freebies had always
worked just fine.
A week later, sensing the time
was right, I gave in and began
my quest for the Holy Cap - at
the mall mind you. As I walked
in, my thoughts focused on what
I would soon realize was the de
cision of a lifetime.
What I did not know at the
time was that a cap is not just
something that covers your head.
According to the religious dog
ma of the Church of the New
Cap, it is not just something that
you put on so you don't have to
wash your hair that day, or that
week for that matter. A cap is a
symbol of who you are, in fact, it
defines what you are.
Stumbling into a shop, I
looked around and everything
began to get kind of fuzzy.
"Can I help you?" I heard
somewhere in the distance. As I
regained my focus, I looked up
to see a mountain of hats before
me. It was shaped like a pyra
mid that had been constructed in
honor of the God of Caps.
I began to feel a little uneasy
in this temple of sportswear.
"What if I pick the wrong hat? I
could do some serious damage,"
I thought. "What if I buy a Bulls
hat and they lose the finals?
What if I pull one out from the
bottom and they all fall on me?"
It was almost too much to
handle, so I stepped back and
took a deep breath.
"It's cool, you can make the
right choice," I reassured myself.
Slowly I crept up to the altar
of caps, sweat beading up on my
brow. "Take a deep breath . . . fo
cus now . . . you can do it," I
said.
At that moment, I heard a
faint voice coming from some
where in the distance. It said in
an omnipotent tone, "Kyle . . .
Kyle . . . choose the hat that best
represents you."
"What if I don't know myself
real well?" I sheepishly replied.
"Choose, and you won't be
wrong," it commanded.
That was it, no turning back, I
had to make a choice. Was I go
ing to listen to Priestess No. 1
and get Charlotte or Colorado
because of the pretty colors.
Priestess No. 2 and go with the
Bulls or Duke because they're
tough or listen to the voice and
get the hat that best represents
me?
I closed my eyes, and after
what seemed an eternity, I mus
tered up every ounce of courage
and grabbed a hat from the shelf.
At that moment, the place be
gan to shake and I heard another
voice that said in an angry tone,
"We are now closing. Please
leave!"
I clenched my hand tightly
around the cap and ran as fast as
I could towards the exit that was
being sealed off by a large iron
gate.
As the gate neared the
ground, I slid under the gate and
the hat fell from my hand on the
other side. I blindly reached
back to the other side, feeling for
the hat. I grabbed it in the nick
of time and escaped unscathed.
Safely on the other side, I
looked at the hat I chose - a Dal
las Mavericks hat.
"Why the Mavericks?" I won
dered. And the voice that com
manded I choose the hat could
barely be heard as it said, "You
have much in common. You are
both from Dallas and neither of
you has any luck (i.e. draft lot
tery). But most importantly,
your losing records don't accu
rately reflect how hard you are
trying to win."
And to answer the question
that is on all of your minds, yes, I
did have to pay full price for the
cap.
Camp
Continued from Page 3
Hickey said, "If they (the play
ers) can remember one thing out
of every section, then that's a very
successful week."
The campers seem to enjoy the
instruction that Hickey, Feeney
and McDonald give. "I like the
way they help us with our skills,"
said Erica Leday, a sophomore
from East Chambers High School.
"I especially like the way they em
phasize defense. The staff is real
ly nice and coach Hickey knows
her stuff."
Hickey said she also enjoys
running the camp and meeting
the players who come out.
"It's always neat to get a phone
call from a player saying, 'Hey
coach, we did really well this
year. I think the camp really
'That
helped,'" Hickey said,
makes you feel good."
Some of the Lady Aggie bas
ketball team help Hickey with the
camp. They officiate scrimmages
during the evening session and
lend practical experience to the in
struction the coaches give.
Hickey likes having her players
help with the camps. She said the
A&M players present good role
models for the young women that
come into camp. "I think it's real
important for young women at
this time in their lives to look and
say, 'Here's someone that has
done it and is playing in college,''
Hickey said.
The camp day is broken into
three work-out periods. The
morning practice lasts from 9 to
11:30. Play resumes at 1:30 p.m-
through 3:30 p.m. and the evening
work-out begins at 6:30 and ends
at 9:30.
