He's back Madden, Summerall sign with Fox The Associated Press NEW YORK - John Mad den and Pat Summerall, to gether again. It's like they were never apart. "I worked with Pat for so long, I couldn't see myself working with anybody else," Madden said. On Monday, the day after they broadcast their last game for CBS, Fox thaT.Thad "J° hn Madden is the expected to be worth about the same. Summerall's signing took place "some weeks ago," the source said, and will be an nounced at a future date, The same source said Ed Goren; senior producer at CBS, also would join Fox as its executive producer.

"John is not only someone Fox wanted, but needed," Fox Sports president David Hill said. "John Madden is the heartbeat of football." At the same time, a source close to the network con firmed that Summerall, Mad den's broadcast partner for 13 years and a 33-year CBS vet eran, also has signed a four- year contract with Fox. Summerall made in excess of $1.5 million a year at CBS, and his four-year Fox deal is w o - David Hill, ^ith M^d- Fox Sports President summeraiT on signing Madden to a H 1 * 1 ! o O' would not $32 million contract comment on future hires, saying: "This is John's day, and I would prefer to keep it that way. "I've been reading the pa pers," he said. "The only peo ple I haven't seen on the list so far is Mother Teresa, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and President Clinton's brother." CBS, the original network of the NFL, has beeh televis ing league games since 1956. But last month it lost the bidding for the NFC portion of the contract to Fox, which will pay $1.58 billion over four years. Mary Maananus/THt Battalion Texas A&M head football coach R.C. Slocum and the A&M football team receives the Southwest Conference championship trophy during half-time of the Lady Aggies game against Sacramento State on Sunday. Madden said that a chance to continue working NFC games played a part in his decision along with the potential of work ing with Summerall and other past associates. "I'm kind of an NFC guy/'he said in a telephone interview "I've been doing the NFC for 15 years and I've been with Pat for 13, and the opportunity was there to continue doing both." B Re Nc nevei throi Texa: E. De likel) those Foi cy fc A&M Presii TCU Continued from Page 7 hind you," Murry said."We have to really go at it in practice and in the next couple of games." The Horned Frogs are 5-10 overall (2-2 in the SWC), but are coming off an impressive 89-75 road win at Southern Methodist University on Saturday. TCU is led by senior center Kurt Thomas, who is averaging 21.1 points per game. Barone said Thomas' success will determine how much the Ag gies have improved since the Siena loss. "TCU's inside game will be a problem for us," Barone said. "We have to play with a tough ness inside that we did not demonstrate against Siena." As his career at A&M comes to an end, senior guard David Ed wards is closing in on two school records. Edwards currently ranks third in career assists with 443 and steals with 187. The records, held by Dave Goff, who had 535 assists from 1976-80, and Todd Hol loway, who had 208 steals from 1983-87, could belong to Edwards by season's end. The Aggies are playing their second of three straight games at home. The homestand will con clude on Sunday against SMU at noon, and A&M will not play at home again until Feb. 9 against Oral Roberts University. CORRECTION In Monday's issue of The Battalion two names were misspelled. Ted Nelson is the men's head track coach, and Matt Miller was the winner of the meet's 600-meter run. The Battalion regrets the error. mini! deter was r force Direc Coun Turn* pose* was i "N that Kerrigan Continued from Page 7 and physically appears to be fine. These random acts of violence would have barely merited a mention on the nightly news had they happened to the average citizen, but because the victims were athletes, the incidents were deemed newsworthy. What is amazing, and fright ening, about these two events is that there haven't been more of them during the years. What is it that drives someone to stoop to such desperate mea sures? In the case of Monica Seles' assailant, Parche could not han dle the fact that Steffi Graf was no longer ranked No. 1 in the world. He saw no other way for Graf to regain the top spot other than to sideline Seles for an in definite period of time. It's not clear whether Parche intended to kill Seles, but the fact that he had the opportunity to do so is chilling enough. The sad part is that he accom plished exactly what he set out to do. Steffi Graf is now ranked No. 1, but it's not an accomplish ment she should be particularly proud of. The motives for the Kerrigan attack are much more blurred and have the added elements of greed and petty jealousy. It will be up to the courts to decide what role, if any, Tonya Harding had in this incident. Harding's lawyer spoke vol umes for the skater's outlook when she portrayed her client as a victim because Harding "will not be in line to make the type of money from endorsements that she would have been in line to make." That, in a nutshell, puts a nice, neat bow on an ugly pack age. But the attack failed to accom plish its objective of knocking Kerrigan out of competition. Not only will Nancy Kerrigan be able to compete in the Olympics, she will be almost everyone's sentimental favorite to win and will be applauded for her courage, win or lose. Tonya Harding, on the other hand, faces a court trial in the near future and has a lot of ques tions to answer. Winning a gold medal will not hide those realities. Harding has overcome many personal obstacles to make it to | this point. If she is able to win at Lillehammer, it will be a credit to her ability to focus on skating. Both attacks, however, exhib- | it a lack of faith in an athlete's J ability and desire to be the best. Gunther Parche didn't believe that Steffi Graf could defeatjl Monica Seles, so he saw fit to ? maim Seles. Perhaps Kerrigan's attacker was unsure if Harding could de feat Kerrigan head-to-head at the Olympics, an attempt was I planned to knock her out of ac- f tion. Steffi Graf doesn't have the opportunity to prove that she can defeat Monica Seles in match play, but Tonya Harding does have a chance to redeem herself on the ice. She has no excuses.
