statement.
Claire did not say specifically
whether Strawberry, who has been
treated for an alcohol problem, was
now having trouble with drinking
or drugs.

The Dodgers start their season
Tuesday at home against F’lorida.
Strawberry met with Claire on
Monday to discuss his mysterious
absence Sunday, which prompted an
all-day search by the Dodgers.
When the Dodgers located him
Sunday night, Claire said Strawberry
did not have a sufficient explanation
for his disapperance.
Claire, speaking at a news con

replacement could be found since
most big schools have their sched
ules already set, Groff said. Several
teams were suggested but they
were “not the type of games we’re
interested in.”
LSU Assistant Athletic Director
Herb Vincent said the main reason
A&M was dropped from the
schedule was to add another home
game. LSU will replace A&M with
the University of Houston in 1996
and the University of Texas-El Paso
in 1 997. Both games will be
played in Baton Rouge, La.
Vincent said the new schedule
changes will give LSU seven home
games and each home game is es
timated to give LSU $1.1 million
in revenue.
Before the Southeast Conference
realignment LSU had seven confer
ence games with 4 non-conference
games, Vincent said. Two of the
non-conference games were Tu-
lane and A&M, which left LSU
with two other possibilities for
non-conference opponents. With
realignment, the Tigers now have
eight conference games and three
non-conference games. Tulane
will stay on the Tigers’ schedule,
but A&M was dropped to give LSU
choices on their two remaining
non-conference games.
“It gives us the opportunity to

may be a “blessing” for A&M
when A&M joins the Big Eight
Conference in 1996. In me new
Big Eight, A&M will have eight
conference games.
“It may work out for us,” Groff
said.
LSU leads the all-time series 26-
18-3, but A&M has won four out
of the last five games. LSU will re
turn to the A&M schedule in 2004
when the Aggies travel to Baton
Rouge. In 2005 the series returns
to Kyle Field.
league will carry six players that
have no professional experience,
which is 48 slots that were not
open to college players last year.
“I could get a lot of guys with
all-pro veteran experience, but that
wouldn’t allow the college players
who were overlooked in the draft
an opportunity to play pro ball,"
Lazarko said.
Allen agreed and said it gives
players a second chance.
“This league is a great chance
for a person who doesn’t get draft
ed to improve his skills, get paid
and possibly be seen by the
pros/’he said.
Lazarko said the perfect example
of a quality college player who did
not get drafted was former A&M
second baseman and all Southwest
Conference player Eric Gonzalez,
who will be playing for the Corpus
Christi team.
The league will have three na
tional tryouts over the next two
months. The two-day tryouts will
be in Port Charlotte, Huntington
Beach and Dallas.
The teams will be in Tyler,
Beaumont, Amarillo, San Antonio,
Corpus Christi and Harlingen, with
the out-of-state teams in Alexan
dria, La. and Mobile, Ala.

it wasn’t enough as the Razorbacks
fought back and took the lead for
good on Thurman’s long jumper.
This was the Razorbacks first
championship game appearance in
their fifth Final Four.
As Richardson walked across the
court after the game the Arkansas
fans shouted “Nol-an, Nol-an.”
Richardson brought Arkansas to
the 1990 national semifinals where
they were beaten by Duke. He was
in search of what he called his
coaching triple crown — he won
the junior college national title
with Western Texas in 1980 and
the NIT with Tulsa the next season.
The Razorbacks got him that
third title by overcoming poor
shooting with tenacious defense
that forced Duke into 23 turnovers.
The defense was at its best when
Arkansas rebounded from the 48-
38 deficit with a 16-4 run. Duke
went four minutes without scoring
and in that span the Blue Devils
missed five snots and committed
five turnovers.
Duke finally righted itself to tie
the game at 54 with 10:16 left.
