best 1:09.2 in the men's 600-yard run
that gave him second place.
•Tim Bryant was the runner up
in the men's long jump with a leap
of 24-3.
•The men's hurdle crew in an ef
fort to re-establish the success of Ag
gie hurdlers of the past took third
and fifth in a what is one of the con
ferences premier races.
• Mark Mullins vaulted his way
to fifth place breaking the 17-foot
barrier.
The most disappointing moment
in the meet occurred in the men's
4X400-meter relay. The relay team
of Stacy Zamzow, Mike Miller, Curt
Young, and Danny McCray was let
down when they learned they
would not be placed in the same
heat as the team from Baylor.
This prevented a head-to-
head match up between the two
teams with the fastest times in
the nation.
Their frustration continued
when McCray slipped and fell
on a soft part of the track. .
"We've always had some
thing unfortunate happen, but at
Indianapolis (home of the NCAA
Indoor Championships),"Miller
said. "We're coming back with a
national championship.
"We're not going to get beat."
Despite the mishap and the
poor showing in the team stand
ings, head coach Ted Nelson did
find many good things in the
meet for A&M.
"We are pleased with where
we are," Nelson said. " This
meet showed us we have kids
who do have the courage to fight
hard.
"This will give us a boost go
ing into outdoors."

From Staff and Wire Reports
Texas A&M head football
coach R.C. Slocum announced
Thursday that Ken Rucker, assis
tant head coach at Baylor Univer
sity, would be the Aggies' new
running backs coach.
Rucker is taking the place of
Gary Kubiak, who moved from
running backs coach to quarter
backs coach after Bob Toledo was
removed.
"I'm delighted to hire a man
with Ken Rucker's credentials,"
Slocum said. "I've known Ken

triple-double would have meant
nothing."
Edwards also attributed his statis
tics to the play of his teammates.
"Without my teammates I couldn't
do it," he said. "If Joe (Wilbert) or
Damon (Johnson) or Brett (Murry)
didn't make their shots, I wouldn't
get those assists."
Edwards' assists gave the Aggies
(16-6, 9-1 in tlae Southwest Confer
ence) a balanced offense that, includ
ing Edwards, had five players scor
ing in double figures.
Murry led the team with 15 points,
while the tag-team of Johnson and
Joe Wilbert combined for 23. Chuck
Henderson poured in 12 points, in
cluding 3-of-7 from the three-point
line.
The Aggies started the game cold,
making only 3-of-9 shots in the first
7:14.
But Rice (13-10, 5-5 in SWC) could
only build a five-point lead during
that span.Murry's three-pointer at
the 12:46 mark in the first half tied
the game.
A&M would not trail again.
Holding the Owls to a .417 shoot
ing percentage and .583 at the free-
throw line, the Aggies heated up
their shooting, finishing with a .511
shooting percentage, and built a lead
they would hot relinquish.
The Owls, led by senior forward
Torrey Andrews' 24 points, closed to
within six with 0:59 remaining in the
game, but A&M finished strong with
a 10-2 run.
A&M head coach Tony Barone
said he was pleased about A&M con
trolling Andrews in the second half.
"Torrey Andrews was outstand
ing," he said. "He had 16 at the half.
I thought we did a great job on him
in the second half.
"Joe Wilbert, Brett Murry and Da
mon Johnson all helped control him."
Some of the keys of the game were
the rebounding and play off of the
bench, Barone said. The Aggies out
rebounded the Owls 40-25.
"The kids off the bench were the
difference," Barone said. "Tony, Jr.
(Barone) played a couple of minutes,
Corey (Henderson) was outstanding,
Lance (Broderson) had some tremen
dous minutes, and Michael Smith
was the difference."
Smith came in to replace Edwards
during the second half. Barone ex
plained it was to keep Edwards from
more statistical infamy.
"Basically Michael (Smith) went
into the game to prevent David (Ed
wards) from having a quadruple-
double," Barone said. "He had 13
points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds and he
was going to have ten turnovers.
"I didn't want him to be the only
player in the country to have a
quadruple-double."
Rice head coach Willis Wilson said
he thought the difference between
the two teams was the maturity lev
els of the teams.
"They (A&M) are more mature,
older and wiser," Wilson said. "It
doesn't have a lot to do with individ
uals. It's a team game.
"They are hungry and confident
and play good ball."
A&M's next game will be against
Texas Christian University in Fort
Worth on Wednesday Feb. 23 at 7:05
p.m.
The Aggies' next home game is
against Baylor University on March
1.

Lady Aggies
Continued from Page 5
The Lady Aggies had a rematch against
Stephen F. Austin in the semi-final.
A&M was looking for revenge
against the Lady Lumberjacks and the
Lady Aggies would be vindicated with
a 13-0 victory.
Beth Berkin lead the onslaught with
a 4-for-4 hitting performance that in
cluded a home run, double and four
RBI's.
Kim Gonzalez contributed a three-
hit shutout, and for the second straight
game the "eight run rule", which is
used when a team is ahead by eight
runs after five or more innings, was put
into effect. The victory put A&M into
the final against the University of Okla
homa.
The tournament was a homecoming
of sorts for All-American shortstop Jen
nifer McFalls, who was named the
tournament's Most Valuable Player.
The appearance by the senior from
Grand Prairie brought out hundreds of
family and friends to the tournament to
see their hometown product play.
"This tournament meant a lot to me
and to take away the MVP is very excit
ing," McFalls said. "It is a really good
feeling to back here."
The Lady Aggies return to College
Station to play a doubleheader against
Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday, begin
ning at 4 p.m.
A&M will then face the University
of Texas-Arlington on Wednesday in
another doubleheader beginning at 5
