A&M vs LSU:
Memories of
a great rivalry
STEWART DOREEN
Sportswriter
When two great football tradi
tions clash on the field, great mo
ments by the game’s biggest stars
are usually not far behind. 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

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.”

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.

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
