This can be said any time Texas A&M and Louisiana State University go to war in “Death Valley”,Kyle Field or any patch of grass in between. Next year when the Tigers come to Kyle Field, it will mark the last time the two teams meet in the im mediate future. With the memories that have come from the series, that is a shame. The series began with a 52-0 A&M win in 1899. Since then, LSU has a 26-17-3 record against the Aggies. This includes the lone bowl meeting between the two teams, a 19-14 victory in the 1943 Orange Bowl. On that particular night, Steve Van Buren’s 63 yard run for a touchdown sealed the game for the Tigers. In 1970, Tiger Stadium was the site for the series’ biggest upset. All-American safety Dave Elmen- dorf intercepted a pass late in the game to give the Aggies a 20-18 win over the Tigers, who finished in the top ten that year while the Aggies could only muster two wins for the season. Wins and losses pale in comparison to some of the legends that has come from two of the NCAA’s winningest programs. The series has given the Aggie fans a first taste of future greatness by showcasing two of A&M’s best running backs in their first games. When the two teams met in 1955, A&M’s only Heisman Trophy win ner, John David Crow scored thefirst touchdown of his distingushed col legiate career in a 28-0 A&M.In 1990, Greg Hill, a red-shirt freshman, Please see Doreen, page 11 Brown takes over starting role By Tom Day The Battalion For the last two football seasons, outside linebacker Reggie Brown has had the opportunity to mature and learn the game while playing behind A&M stand-outs Marcus Buckley, Ja son Atkinson and Steve Solari. However, these players are gone, and with the opening of the 1994 sea son on Saturday, all eyes will fall on Brown as he seeks to make a name for himself as a new starter. “There is a lot of pressure because of this school’s tradition in having great linebackers, ” Brown said. “I think I can come in with my size and speed and fit that mold of a linebacker.” As a backup, Brown did more than rest on his laurels. He used every play ing opportunity he had to his advantage. “When I could get in (the game), I tried to learn the system so when my time came (to start) I’d be ready to ful fill the needs of the team,” he said. Brown has all the physical attributes of the classic A&M linebacker. A good pass rusher that can easily drop back into coverage, Brown’s 4.44 time in the 40-yard dash is the 5th best on the team. “He’s a tremendous athlete and a smart guy,” outside linebackers coach Shawn Slocum said. “He had a great spring and he’s had a good two-a-days and we’re excited about seeing him play against L.S.U.”. Slocum believes at some point Brown will be capable of ris ing to the level of great A&M lineback ers of the past. “He’s got all the ability and the tools to do it, and I think he can be one of those guys,” he said. Although A&M has lost some marquee players and will be playing under the cloud of probation, Brown believes there won’t be a fall-off. “I think even though we lost a lot of the big names, there’s still some people on our team that just haven’t been heard of and are just as good, who can step up.” Brown said. Brown takes his unknown status in stride. “I’m trying to use this year as my com ing-out party because I know Antonio (Arm strong) gets all the publicity around here,” Brown said. “I’m just trying to get myself into the lime light like he has.” Stew Milne/ THE BATTALION Reggie Brown, #46, prepares for linebacker drills Houston hopes Carlson era turns into success Oilers believes calm preseason camp will translate into winning season HOUSTON (AP) — The 1993 Hous ton Oilers had Warren Moon, Buddy Ryan, Sean Jones, William Fuller—and controversy. They are all gone this season, includ ing the controversy. Sure, there was a very polite battle be tween Bucky Richardson and Sean Salis bury for the No. 2 quarterback job and muted grumbling about Lee Williams’ offseason rehabilitation program. But it was nothing like last season’s warfare that erupted when Ryan, then the defensive coordinator, huddled his half of the team into one comer and de clared it was “us against the world,” in cluding the Oilers offense. The departures have been eased by the presence of new defensive coordina tor Jeff Fisher and Cody Carlson’s smooth transition to replace Moon. Will the calm waters of preseason translate into a continuation of the 11- game regular season winning streak the Oilers have going? “We made some strides,” Carlson said. “We need to make more. But I think we’re in a pretty good position. We have the personnel to get the job done, no matter who’s on the field. All we need to do is polish it up.” The aggressive 46 defense under Fisher has picked up where Ryan left it, aggressively pursuing turnovers. The Oilers were second in the NFL with 43 takeaways last season and they estab lished a similar trend in preseason. Penalties and mistakes, a problem last season when Ryan first installed his pet defense, returned in the last two preseason games. In Saturday’s exhibi tion final against the Los Angeles Raiders, the defense was flagged five times in the first quarter. Please see Oilers, page 13 action after fight (AP)-- John Daly takes the role of the aggrieved party, his agent says, and hints that one of golfs great draw ing cards may be considering legal ac tion after a public altercation last weekend in the World Series of Golf. “We’re considering our options,” the agent, John Mascatello, said by tele phone from his Herndon, Va., office. The agent made the comment Tues day after confirming that Daly had withdrawn from the European Masters in Switzerland this week “as a direct result” of a scuffle at Akron, Ohio with Bob Roth, father of national club pro champion Jeff Roth of Flint, Mich. “John clearly was the injured party in the parking lot situation,” Mascatel lo said of the weekend incident. Daly and the elder Roth had to be separated by caddies and spectators after rolling around on the ground near the club house at the Firestone Country Club. At the same time, Daly faces possi ble disciplinary action from the PGA Tour for engaging publicly in what may have been the first physically violent, antagonistic confrontation between a player and a spectator in at least the last quarter-century. John Morris, vice president of com munications for the tour, said no deci sion has yet been reached on any disci plinary action. Morris also said Daly has not made a formal commitment for any other tour events this season. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has not yet talked with Daly “so far as I know,” Morris said by tele phone from tour headquarters at Ponte Vedra, Fla., and will have no comment until he has an opportunity to review staff reports of the incident. Daly has become one of the tour’s most popular players since his upset victory in the FUA three years ago. But he was also suspended by former- commissioner Deane Beman, underwent Please see Daly, page 11 Aggie Fact September 1, 1990: A&M begins the season in Honolulu and knocks off Hawaii, 28-13, on national television.
