Page 8 The Battalion Thursday, April Hfi fhursda Oilers-Vikings agree in principle to trade Moon The Associated Press HOUSTON — Warren Moon, the star quarterback who led the Houston Oilers to the playoffs for seven straight years, is head ing to the Minnesota Vikings. Oilers owner Bud Adams said Wednesday the team has reached an agreement in principle to send Moon to Minnesota. “For all practical purposes, we have a trade, but we have a lot of details to be worked out,” Adams said Wednesday. “But I see no problem to keep us from working it out. I think within 72 hours we’ll have a deal.” Adams’ comments came shortly after a phone conversa tion with Vikings president Roger Headrick, who also said the deal was near completion. “As of yesterday, it wasn’t that close but right now I have kind of mixed feelings,” Moon said. “Everybody knows I want ed to finish my career here but also knowing there’s another team that wants me is a chal lenge. ‘ You can give your all if you know the fans are behind you.” But his emotions are mixed. “I’m still going to be calling Houston home but I won’t he playing football in the dome any more,’ he said. “I really didn t want to leave here ... but I do have a team that wants me.” Arena Continued from Page 7 A staunch supporter of the new facility has been head men’s basket ball coach Tony Barone. Barone has previously stated improved facilities as one of his eight steps in his "Blueprint for Success ’ for the men’s basketball program. Hickey said the limited amount of space available for teams to prac tice is another strong argument for the new arena. “There were no practice for all of us (both basketball squads and the volleyball team),” Hickey said. “We took turns with the men this semester having practice late at night. We need more floor space.” Last week, the University made a presentation of the plans for the center to the Building Committee of the Coordinating Board. The proposal was approved for further consideration, and the committee will report to the full Coordinating Board sometime later this month. If the Coordinating Board agrees to the proposal, the university s fi nal approval will be voted on in July. Groff also stated the impending conference merger with the Big Eight as a reason for the urgency of a new facility. "We pride ourselves on our fa cilities, and G. Rollie is one of the few facilities that is not first class,” Groff said. “Some of the schools in the Big Eight have facilities with s< ! ing be tween 12,000 and 15,000. With this facility, we’re in the top 10 percent of the country (in quality). “We pride ourselves on our fa cilities, and this is highly desir able.” Ouch!

Is it San Antonio’s David Robinson or Houston’s Hakeem Olajuwon? "Hakeem is the best center in the league, and he’s been the best the last five or six years,” Brown said. “David is having an MVP sea son by the numbers but Hakeem has played that way for years. He was my MVP last year.” Olajuwon was second in the MVP voting to Phoenix’s Charles Barkley last season and is battling with Robinson for the honor this season. Olajuwon scored 42 poio including 1 3 in the final 4:0/ keep the Timberwolves from late rally on Tuesday night (on 98-89 victory. On Monday night, Brown ie:! the Timberwolves lost totli Spurs 101-89.

Re-alignment Continued from Page 7 Houston from the old National League West. The Reds’ presence does make me feel a little better, because the Reds-Astros series over the past three seasons has escalated into a near warlike state. It all started back in 1991, in the very first weekend of the sea son. Rob Dibble, always .known for his peaceful demeanor on the field, had just given upo a run scoring single to Astros pitcher Pete Harnisch. At this point, Dibble, unable to control his frustration, blew off some steam by throwing his next pitch behind the head of the Astros’ next batter, shortstop Eric Yelding. v Despite his slight of build, Yelding wasted no time charging the monstrous Diblile, first peg ging Dibble with his batting hel met, then jumping into the melee as both benches cleared. Later in the year, former Astro and at the time current Red Billy Doran played peacemaker be tween Yelding and Dibble. Or so he thought. A year later, the two teams were at it again, with Dibble as the primary instigator one more time. This time however. Dibble met his match in the brawl in As tros’ first base coach Ed Ott, he of 1 0 knee surgeries. Ott grabbed Dibble in a choke hold, and was later quoted saying he watched Dibble turn red, then blue, then purple before letting him loose. That’s the kind of talk old-time baseball fans love. It hearkens back to a time when two cities and two teams just didn’t want to beat each other, they wanted to heat each other up, and send the losers home with their tails be tween their legs. The Astros used to have that kind of vyonderful relationship with the Giants, Braves and Dodgers. With the Giants, it was mainly the apatliy felt by the city of Houston towards Will Clark (for having the nerve to light Nolan Ryan up), and towards former Giants manager Roger Craig, who T - - fastball, and then constantly at cused him of scuffing the ball. | With tl ie Braves it was the ha tred of the fact that the Braves perennial cellar dwellers werty suddenly veryw^ty good! 0nce : they got hot, it seemed they con stantly beat the Astros senseless. With the Dodgers, it was al ways special just because they were the Dodgers. The Dodgers had dominated the division atir- ing the ]98 0’s, and always seemed to have the Astros' num ber. Plus, Los Angeles was the home of the Houston Rockets nemesis in the 1980’s, the Lakers, 1 get chills remembering summer nights in Houston when the As trodome would rock to chants ot “Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!” Rivalries are not born overnight, except in the case of an extraordinary occurrence. It will take some time for the Hous ton fans to familiarize themselves with the new teams' heroes and villains, now that we’ll be seeing them I 3 times a year each. But still, I just cannot envision myself screaming, “Beat Pitts-burg! Pitts-burg!”.
