Jones, Johnson showdown Kicking Continued from Page 11 The Associated Press IRVING — On a hot July morn ing three years ago, a heavily sweating, 300-pound man wearing shorts timidly approached Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson at the Cow boys training camp in Austin. “Jerry Jones sent me to you coach Johnson. He thought I might be able to help the team,” said the fat man. Johnson eyed the unathletic ap- p e a r i n g prospect and asked: “Where’d you meet him?” “At a watering hole last night,” said the obese one. “He said you might give me a tryout.” Johnson told the man: “Run from here to that tree.” Halfway to the tree the man grabbed his side. End of tryout. “That,” Johnson said, “is a per fect example of what I have to put up with around here.” The sensitive and simmering re lationship between the coach and owner of the Super Bowl champion Cowboys hit the headlines again this week at the NFL owners meet ing in Orlando. This time Johnson didn’t laugh off his owner’s bar episode like he did three years ago. In fact, by all accounts, Johnson was as upset as he’s ever been with Jones, his former roommate at the University of Arkansas who hired him to replace Tom Landry five years ago. Johnson was told by close friend and Chicago coach Dave Wannst- edt, who heard it all in the Orlando bar, that Jones had threatened to fire him for a perceived snub and replace Johnson with former Okla homa coach Barry Switzer. The “snub” came when Jones wasn’t invited to join Johnson at a table that included Wannstedt and Norv Turner, who was the Cowboys of fensive coordinator until he left to join the Washington Redskins. Johnson Lady Ags Continued from Page 9 Hickey is as worried about the size of Purdue’s guards as anything else. “The thing that concerns me is that they’re bigger when you add in their forwards and guards, and that leads to problems rebounding,” she said. Lichonczack said that because of their size and their ability to play a power game, the Boilermakers do not try to take many long shots. “They try to go inside,” he said. “They have a number of 6-4 and 6- 5 girls. They’re just big.” But where the Aggies really excel over the Boilermakers according to Lichonczack, is at the guard posi tions. “Purdue’s guards are good but that’s not a strength of their team,” he said. “A&M’s guards are better and certainly faster.” Hickey said that guard play will be a key to any Aggie victory, par ticularly in the form of turnovers. “They have a lot of turnovers during a game and we need to take advantage of that,” Hickey said. Lichonczack added that the Ag gies can maintain a more frenetic pace than Purdue’ can. “For the most part thtey (Purdue) are not a running team," he said. Lichonczack believes that A&M has a chance against Purdue, but he also expects Stanford to win its game against Colorado. That would mean that for the Lady Aggies to reach the Final Four, They would have to beat Stanford on their home floor, a prospect that Lichonczack said would be a monumental achievement. “You would have to beat Stan ford at their home-court and that’s going to be pretty hard,” Lichoncza ck said. Hickey has two goals for her team. “First, we want to win this tour nament. Second, we want to prove we belong here,” she said. Lichonczack made it clear that the Boilermakers are an intimidating presence on the court. “The way the kids are acting right now, I don’t see die intimida tion factor at all,” Hickey said, “In fact, Purdue is a very young team and this is the first time they have been away from home in the tour nament, so they would be as sucsep- tible as,us.” Lichonczack added that if the Lady Aggies keep their cool and play their t)me of game, they could be successful. Or at least more success ful than the Lady Highlanders were. “We were in the game until about the time the National Anthem was over,” Lichonczack laughed. Baseball Continued from Page 9 Granger flat-out dominated on the mound, posting a 15-3 record with a 2.62 ERA wTiile leaving for the pro’s as A&M’s all-time strikeout leader. As a staff, the Aggies posted a 3.40 ERA while holding opposing teams to a meager .228 average at the plate. Offensively the Aggies boasted a .315 batting average while pound ing-out an amazing 7 5 home runs. While Johnson and his squad re alize that seasons like that are as rare as smiling face during final exams, die-hard Aggie baseball fans may not. The. A&M skipper explained that his team is still trying to adjust and find a winning chemistry. Pre-season All-America pitchers Trey Moore and Chris Clemmons have combined for a mediocre 5-6 record this season despite possessing ERAs of 2.70 and 3.22 respectively. One night the pitching is hot but the bats are cold and one night the opposite may occur. In addition to inconstencies at the plate and on the mound, mis- cues in the field have figured into a fair share of Aggie losses as well. The Aggies have been plagued with 61 errors this season as opposed to a total .of 97 last year. Despite being mired in such a slump, Johnson said that he cannot help but be proud of the way his team has handled their recent adver sity. “I’m pleased with the guys atti tudes,” Johnson said. “They are re ally working hard although they are frustrated. “The problem we are having now is that that we are working too hard to make things happen.” Johnson believes that many of the players afe trying to carry too much of the burden instead of re maining patient and allowing things to work themselves out. Maybe Tuesday’s “W” is the spark needed to restart the Aggie’s engine. Their next test on the road to a second consecutive SWC title comes this weekend at Rice in a three-game series. Although Johnson refused to say that the Rice series is the most im portant of the season based on A&M’s recent ill-fortunes, I’ll put my foot down and tell you that it is. scrimmage after a missed kick. The standard practice for fit 1 f ;oal attempts is for the holder ine up about seven yards belli: the line of scrimmage; Thisgi? the kick enough distance to gett borne before it can be blocked. In essence, this rule change tali away seven yards from a teanul misses a field goal. For insta® say the line of scrimmage is the!' The holder lines up at the 27 missed kick would result in thek being placed at the 27 rathertk the 20, as lias been done before it season. All of these rule changes hit one common denominator: II level of entertainment that is bet. provided. Recently, the NFLk come under attack as being blan: stodgy and mechanical. Thega® follow a much too predictable pr tern. While the players are certain! more talented, they are not nearly; charismatic.

H though it’s still immensely popi the NFL needed a tactical facelift two-point conversion and more it turned kickoffs can only addin® electricity to the sport.
