Cowboys" soap opera continues...
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.

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

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.
