Nolan Ryan's
career suffers
disjointed end
MICHAEL
PLUMER
Sports Editor
U nfortun
ately, it
winds-
up like this.
The baseball
gods, as they
had so often,
did not smile
on Nolan Ryan.
Like his leg
endary fastball,
Ryan's final ap
pearance was
gone in a whiff
of smoke. No
explanation.
No comprehen
sion.
Just the pop of his elbow signified
that after a 27-year mecca of success,
his body was too tired, too worn-out
to take the constant pressures of
pitching.
The official injury was classified as
a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament
in the right elbow. What does that
mean?
It means Nolan's legendary heater
will forever be on ice. No more good
morning, good afternoon, good
evening strikeouts.
Perplexed looks from the opposing
dugouts will be replaced by smiles
because Ryan's right arm will never
again whip the ball towards home
plate at a high velocity complement
ed by his nasty curveball.
Incredible. Big Tex's career is over
and the last memory will be of him
trudging off the field the victim of an
other painful injury.
Of all teams for Ryan to end his ca
reer against, it had to be the Seattle
Mariners. The irony is unbelievable.
Ryan was pitching in a dome, on
artificial turf. They were probably
serving imitation hot dogs in the

A&M players lose NCAA appeal
By Michael Plumer
The Battalion
The NCAA Eligibility Committee denied Texas
A&M's appeal on Thursday to reinstate two football
players who were suspended for receiving payments
from a booster for work they had not performed.
Junior running back Greg Hill had been suspended
for five games while junior linebacker Jessie Cox was or
dered to sit out the whole season for his involvement in
the scheme by the NCAA on September 10.
A&M had originally recommended Hill's suspension
to be set at four games. He would have been eligible for
the Aggies' October 2 game at Texas Tech. Had Cox's
appeal been successful, he would have been eligible for
the Aggies' October 9 contest against Baylor in College

Barone sponsors "Hoops For House
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M men's basketball team will participate in the
"Hoops for the House" free throw shooting contest to benefit Scotty's
House, a shelter for abused children.
The contest will take place Saturday at Sam's Club and will last from
9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Teams will have each participant shoot 100 free
throws, with pledges taken for each successful score. The average
number made by each team determines the contributors' donations.
Hot dogs and drinks will be available and unsolicited donations will
also be accepted.
A&M coach Tony Barone said he wanted his team involved to help
the community by doing what they do best.
"In this contest, they are using their skills for the benefit of others,"
Barone said.
"Scotty's house provides a neutral location where child victims can
go to be interviewed and receive treatment. It is a tremendous group
of people who are making their mark in the community."
For more information or to make a pledge or donation, call 823-6902.
A&M harriers run into rebuilding year
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz
The Battalion
The rebuilding Texas A&M
men's and women's cross-coun
try teams will confront seven
teams at the Rice Invitational
this Saturday, as the team looks
to overcome youth and inexpe
rience against a strong Rice host
team.
A&M cross-country coach Ed
Marcinkiewicz said he expected
to finish behind the Southwest
Conference rival Rice Owls,
which feature a men's team that
is ranked fourth in the NCAA
District 6 and a women's team
which is ranked third.
With only one upperclass
men, junior Beth Ladd,
Marcinkiewicz said his Lady
Angies will play a spoiler role
this year.
He said he expects Ladd,
freshman Michelle Truesdale
and the sophomore Sangalang
triplets, April, Cecille and Belle
to pace A&M's women.
Youth will also serve the
men's team as redshirt junior
Jeff Christner is the sole upper
classman on the team.
