Jimmy Johnson’s
replacement can
be found at A&M
Drew
Diener
Sportswriter
I n Jerry Jones’ latest ploy to completely de
stroy tne defending two-time world champi
on Dallas Cowboys, he has all but officially
confirmed the hiring of a new head coach to re
place Jimmy Johnson — a Battalion columnist of
regional renown.
Sources wishing to remain anonymous for
fear that they might be committed to a mental
institudon, said that they expect Jones to name
die relatively unknown Drew Diener to the most
prolific position in professional football.
Although Jones was unavailable for com
ment, persistent reporters from The Battalion
were able to track down the busy Diener.
The Texas A&M sophomore explained that he
faxed his resume to Valley Rancn shortly after
Johnson announced his resignation Tuesday af
ternoon in a televised press conference.
“I was forced to prepare a resume last week
with summer job season upon us and what
not,” Diener said. “I have been applying for
jobs for about the last week or so and I guess I
was just plum lucky to be watching CNN when
I was.
“Fortunately, I was also near a fax machine.”
Many readers may remember Diener, who in
January declared himself eligible for the NFL
Draft although he never played a down of colle
giate football. Diener said that the opportunity
to coach the Cowboys has forced him to renege
on his candidacy.
“I still believe in my abilities to get out on
the field and mix it up with the best of em’,”
Diener said. “However, I’ve got to take diis

Aggies break three game slide A&Mhoopsters

Hot dog, the Aggies won.
It was Hot Dog Night at Olsen Field
on Tuesday, and 1,733 hungry Aggies
took advantage of 25 cent cokes, pop
corn and hot dogs as A&M snapped a
three-game losing streak.
John Codrington earned his first
victory of the season by striking out
seven batters in four innings as four
A&M pitchers combined to throw a
three-hit shutout to lead A&M over St.
Olaf 3-0 to end a three game losing
streak.
Codrington (1-3) said he realized
St. Olaf, an NCAA Division III school,
was not as good as the teams A&M
(19-15) faces in the Southwest Confer
ence, but he said the Aggies, after los
ing their sixth straight SWC game by
dropping a three-game series against
Rice last weekend, needed a win to get
A&M on a roll.
“They are no Texas Longhorns or
anything like that,” he said. “But they
still had some guys who can hit the
ball.”
Head coach Mark Johnson did not
seem very pleased with the pitching,
even though he said he was happy with
it.

A&M shortstop Robert Harris (left) tags out St. Olaf runner Jud Sather af
ter Sather was caught in run-down when trying to steal second base.
“I think the pitchers did alright,”
Johnson said. “Well, I think they did
alright, and we’ll leave it at that. But I
think the key to the game is their pitch
er did a good job.”
The Aggies had seven hits and
scored a run in the second, third and
fourth inning, but Johnson said A&M
could not handle St. Olaf’s Josh Deck
ers’ pitches.
“I told the team we did not adjust
well to the pitcher,” he said. ‘ He
pitched soft, and that was the last thing
we needed to see today.”
A&M right fielder Chad Allen paced
the Aggies to their first after hitting a
slow roller to second.
Before the second baseman could
release the ball, Allen was on first.
Allen stole second and reached third as
the catcher tried to throw him out.
Allen went on to score on a sacrifice fly
by Chad Alexander.

receive awards
for ‘93-’94 season
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
A season full of shining accomplish
ments was recognized Tuesday night as
the College Station Hilton hosted the
1994 Texas A&M Basketball Banquet.
Special tribute was offered to the five
graduating seniors on the Aggie squad:
Tony Barone, Jr., David Edwards, Chuck
Henderson, Brett Murry and Michael
Smith. The quintet was honored with a
short video presentation on each player, a
few words from head coach Tony Barone
and a jewelry box engraved with the
words: “Champions think championship
thoughts.”
Coach Barone and his assistants also
handed out awards for outstanding
achievement to several players. Edwards
won two of the honors, the Loraine &
Breezy Breazeale Free Throw Proficiency
Award and the “Coaches Award”-the
equivalent of the team’s most valuable
player.
In his words about Edwards, Barone
said his point guard for the last three sea
sons is one of the best players he’s ever
seen.
“(Edwards is) a true success story
based on his, devotion to a game he loves
more than anything,” Barone said.
“But to get a degree, that means much
more than basketball itself.”
Also receiving awards during the din
ner were junior Corey Henderson as the
recipient of the Daniel Scoates Garner
Academic Extra Effort Award, Michael
Smith as the “Most Improved” player and
junior Tony McGinnis as “Mr. Defense”.
Assistant coach Mitch Buonaguro gave
the “Windex” award for rebounding to
Murry, and praised his performance as a
tenacious all-around player.
“Whenever we (coaches) would talk
about the games, his name always came
up as a guy we could count on, ’ Buon
aguro said.
