Page 6 The Battalion Friday, April8,4 Yankees bomb Rangers, 18-(i with home-run barrage as New York blasts Texas pitchiii The Associated Press NEW YORK — Mike Gallego homered twice, Danny Tartabull drove in four runs and Bernie Williams hit a three-run homer Thursday as New York scored its most runs at Yankee Stadium in 3 9 years and routed the Texas Rangers 18-6. New York, which had 1 9 hits — including six doubles — hadn’t scored as many runs at home since a 1 9- 1 victory against the Washington Senators on April 13, 1955. The last time the Yan kees scored this many run:;• where was a 18-5 victory at!, 1 ; nesota on April 18, 1988. Terry Mulholland, acqti; from Philadelphia in the ol son, won in his Yankees'dt! allowing six runs and seven: in 5 1 -3 innings. Five Texas pitchers waltj nine and hit a batter. KeJ Rogers, the Rangers’ leadeif wins last year with 16, I chased after three-plus inni: ! ie allowed eight earned run: nine hits. Oilers would be adrift without ageless Moon at helm B elieve it or not, there’s still another pro- fessional football team in Texas. Okay, its talent level is dropping faster than Jerry Jones popularity up north of here, but the Houston Oilers are in fact still an NFL fran chise. However, they are preparing to pass beyond the point of no return in the eyes of this die hard Oiler fan as they finalize plans to re-work Cody Carlson’s contract and trade future Hall of Famer Warren Moon. Moon, the nine-year starting quarterback for the Oilers is a living legend and one of the classiest players in the NFL. I don t care how old Moon is, he’s still one of the strongest-armed and smartest quarter backs of all-time. Cody Carlson, on the other hand, is one of the greatest clip-board holders of all-time. Carlson has played very few games in his career, certainly not enough to hand him a new contract(his multi-year, million dollar deal is already bad enough) or the starting quarterback job of a team still hoping to reach the Super Bowl. The Oilers are getting very old, very fast, and Carlson is definitely not the man to take the Oilers to the final step. Carlson has not started a game of much significance in some time (his last start was against the Patriots last season when the Oilers were, sitting at 1 -4). The last time Carlson started a game with NICK GEORGANDIS Sports writer IV any sort of playoff implications was in the 1 99 1 AFC wild card game, when the Cincin nati Bengals roughed Carlson up while blow ing the Oilers away, 41-14. The reported offer from the Vikings so far is a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft, as well as a conditional third-round pick in 1995. Yes, Moon has been more susceptible in re cent years to injury, but he has missed only one post-season game in the seven consecutive years that the Oilers have reached the playoffs. And above all. Moon has weathered the storms that have plagued the Oilers’ franchise for the past decade. Someone who has sur vived Bud Adams, Buddy Ryan AND Jerry Glanville is obviously has some tenacity. If the Oilers are preparing to reload their franchise by dumping the Run-and-Shoot of fense, along with most of their aging high- priced talent, then Cody Carlson is not thev to go. Carlson will be 3 1 years old comeN:| vember, an advanced age for an NFL pla, I even a quarterback. But if a young quarterback is what theftll ers want, they’ve got one who is alreadyoEl of the five most popular players on the tear. I Yes, I am speaking of legendary fbm-:| A&M player Bucky Richardson. When till game has been put out of reach, cheers:! Buck-y, Buck-y!’’ begin reverberatiii;| throughout the Astrodome. Richardson is young and charismatic,:| much so that the Hamilton club fromtti| Canadian Football League has offered hinul two-year. $ 1 million contract to become;:| "marcjuee player”.

The youth of Richardson or one last Stiff I Bowl run with Moon? Either one wouldsJ me fine, but once again what I wantisexacl opposite of what the Bud Adams will do(»| Don’t fire Bum Phillips, Don’t tradetif Campbell and My goodness, did we really tai: Alonzo I lighsmith in the first round?). IL LAINlv Continued from Page 5 _ negative about it. Competition’s just all a part of football.” Although McElroy says he is not sure what is in store for next year or what goals he will try to accomplish. But, he says, his record already speaks for itself. In the first quarter of the Oc tober 2 3 game at Rice, McElroy placed his name in the NCAA record books by returning back- to-back kickoffs for touch downs. The 93- and 88-yard runs catapulted McElroy into first in the natjgn in kickpff retuyguaver- age, ^'positron hY, would never relinquish for the rest of the sea son. In the last regular season game of the year, against the University of Texas, McElroy turned the tide of the game for A&M for good. Down 6-0, following a sec ond Longhorn field goal, the Aggies suddenly found them selves ahead when McElroy snared the kickoff in his own end zone and took off. The last Longhorn with a ^ ha nee to slop McElroy was Texas’ place -kicker Scott Szeredy. When McElroy juked him, Sz eredy looked as if his fle^bi were planted in cement instead of on the frozen Kyle Field Astroturf. Ending the season, McElroy led the nation with a 39.3 3 yard per kickoff average, the Second- nighest average ever. Including all times McElroy touched the ball, he averaged more than 13 yards per possession. With just one yearofelij ity under his belt and stil 2 0 years old, the scary par McElroy’s career is that Ae mi now just be scratchingrffw face of his capabilities. In the seasons to come, J 1 2 th Man may witness themr| formation of ‘‘LeeMac intocf of the all-time greats atAi and in college football.
