MSC FILM SOCIETY OF TEXAS ASM Page 4 The Battalion Thursday, Marcliuisday Barone Continued from Page 3 task he accepts without resignation. "What you do is you try to be honest with the team/' he said. "I don't think you can hide the fact that you missed key free throws during the late stages of the game. "I don't think you can dwell on it, but there are many other losses you're going to face in your life that are worse than losing a double overtime game." And so again following these two disap pointing losses, Barone finds himself in a re building mode - striving to improve what he started the day with. Kicking and screaming, the fiery Barone has spurred his team from mediocrity to SWC con tention. He said that while he doesn't neces sarily favor this method, the team determines how much it requires outside motivation. /The really good teams are self-motivators. We have some guys who are self-motivating, but in general, no (we are not a self-motivating team), Barone said. "(North Carolina coach) Dean Smith has a 12-man roster of McDonald's All-Americans. You have (Temple coach) John Chaney, who basically has a lot of inner-city kids that you have to motivate another way. Chaney serves as father-figure, counselor and disciplinarian. "It depends on the personality of the team." As for the personality of the coach, Hender son said he respects his coach for the level of preparation he brings to the court. "Coach Barone is a very intense person, 1 think that he tries to get tire best out of us," he said. "He knows all about the guys on (an op posing) team, if they go right or left, their free throw percentages - he's a really good coach. "He knows what color a guy's shoes are." Beneath preparation for the Tech game there are several issues swirling in the past weeks that have affected Barone off the court - A&M's alliance with the Big Eight Conference and the continued speculation regarding a pro posed 12,500-seat special events center to an- The If chor the program, replacing the antiquated G. Rollie White Coliseum. "Going down the list of Big Eight facilities - I have played in every one or them, and every one of them is better than G. Rollie White," Barone said. "When you're talking to recruits, you hear, '1 don't want to play in the South west Conference.' We have eliminated that criticism." "You have to have something that is attrac tive to the (recruits). They can look at G. Rollie White and say, 'You're not serious about bas ketball.' The special events center is a necessity if you're going to have a quality basketball pro gram. "It needs to be a basketball arena that is a special events center." Despite the recent disappointments, Barone remarked that although his still-fledgling pro- it that soim gram has exceeded m< to solve the recent wot "If someone had sa this particular point of would've said no wa^ at 6-22, this year will I did three years ago. "Prom a recc>rd star ty cool, but I'm more i consistency." Establishing consis drives Barone to confi mand more on a daily i But is he really an players and getting uni *Oh, yeah," ] lender at that."

Tm not a religious guy, and the issue of heav en and hell, death and the after life, aren't sub jects 1 occupy my free time with. I've always be lieved you are guaranteed a life and a death, and no one can tell you what one or the other will hold. But Lasorda's comments got me thinking about what happens when you pass on, what 1 would like to happen, and if there was such a place, what Drysdale and Campanella were do ing right at that moment. It inspired me to write. Everyone may not understand all the names, but I hope you get the idea. In left here's Speaker, in right, Clemente, Between them, six thousand hits a-plenty. There's Foxx and Greenberg and ah, but of course. Immortal Lou Gehrig-The Great Iron Horse. And now they come in pairs and in threes: Chesbro and Appling and Cool Papa Bell, Medwick and Satchel and Hornsby as well. The line-ups are filled and the stands come alive, j Peopfle, all ages, colors and sizes. 'Heaven' Drysdale, now pitching, with flames in his eyes, A single for sure, by liig Johnny Mize, Big Don whirls, and then throws his glance, A 6-4-3-, Tinker, Evers, to Chance! "Campy!," yells Leo, "New pitcher today!" "Now?!," thinks Roy, who has just begun to play. And as he turns around, his face grows pale. For coming up the ramp is . . . Don Drysdale. They walk to the field, joyful and talking, Don still amazed that Campy is walking. The night comes on and the sun sinks low. Each boy with his head on a soft pillow. Big Don and Campy, up talking all night. Finally decide to sleep and to dream. Don whispers soft, as they turn out the light, "Campy, Heaven's got one hell of a team." Reaching the field, Don's heart goes a-flutter. Before him are all the boys of summer. A shout goes up with a high drive to right. At home, at the plate, the Babe flexes his might. Don looks all about and he lets out a sigh. His eyes go to Honus, Dizzy and Ty. Another pitch, the Babe, the ball is blasted. This one tracked down by Shoeless Joe Jack- son. Thurman Munson saw Roy, smiled as he did, "You were my hero when I was a kid!" All right. I'm no Robert Frost, but my mom embraced it as a future Pulitzer winner (of course, she does that with all my articles, too.) and apparently someone at the Dodgers was kind enough to take a minute and read my poem. For me, writing the poem this summer and getting that envelope on Wednesday reminded me then, and now of something that I tend to for get in the heat of a pennant race or the tension of a double-overtime thriller. It's this: People don't live and die because of sports, sports help people feel alive, and be re membered when they're gone.
