Continued from Page 7
Richardson has improved
significantly since his time at
A&M. He can throw the ball
downfield with accuracy, and
is getting better and better at
making smart decisions un
der pressure. He also ac
counted for all three of the
Oilers’ scores on Sunday.
A lot of Richardson’s crit
ics put down his uncanny
ability to get the ball in the
end zone by suggesting he
only collects the stats in
“garbage time”, when oppos
ing defenses have their sec
ond and third string players
in.
To that, I say, so what?
Despite being second or third
stringers, every player on the
field is still part of a very se
lect group of athletes that
have earned a spot in the
NFL. And don’t you think
those guys are playing their
butts off trying to impress
their coaches and get an in
crease in their playing time?
Fact is, Richardson’s not
only competing with these
guys, he’s tearing them up.
The Oilers still have a
good secondary and a good
corps of receivers. Gary
Brown had a great bust-out
year last season, and despite
a poor performance on Sun
day, he is the Oilers’ main
running man. But a lot of
the Oilers’ veterans are ex
pendable for a team that is
rebuilding.
Many of the Oilers’ play
ers are the types that a
team making a playoff team
would covet, and be willing
to trade draft picks for.
Lorenzo White is one, as are
Webster Slaughter, A1
Smith and even though it
hurts to say it, Childress.
The Oilers’ have been say
ing “It’s gotta be this year,”
for the last three years. This
year, they can finally hold
their heads up high, they
were telling the truth last
season, this year they’ve got
no chance.
But they can still make it
fun for the fans, who pay the
man who pays their salaries.
The fans absolutely go ba
nanas when Richardson
comes in the game. The real
fans are mainly working-class
Houstonians, and they wor
ship a hard-working player.
That’s what made the
“Luv Ya Blue” era special,
the players the Oilers had
were not the most talented in
the league (save Earl Camp
bell), but they gave it their
all every game, and twice
came within reach of the Su
per Bowl. Richardson is that
kind of player, and maybe he
can rub off on some of the
other players, and remind
them of the other reason they
play ball, besides the money.
Do Houston a favor,
Bud....
Start Bucky.
Rice breaks touchdown record
49er scores three
TDs Monday,
tops NFL list
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) —
Jerry Rice had little time to sa
vor the record-setting effort that
made him the NFL’s all-time
touchdown leader.
No sooner had he scored his
127th career touchdown Mon
day night in the San Francisco
49ers’ 44-14 rout of the Los An
geles Raiders than the 49ers
wide receiver was caught up
again in the Joe Montana-Steve
Young rivalry.
The 49ers travel to Kansas
City next Sunday for their first
confrontation ever with Mon
tana. He led San Francisco to
four Super Bowl wins in the
1980s before losing his job to
Young and joining the Chiefs in
a 1993 trade.
“We’ve got a big game coming
up and I’m not going to have a
lot of time to enjoy it,” said Rice,
who surpassed Hall of Fame full
back Jim Brown’s previous mark
by scoring three times.
“But it’ll be nice to see Joe
again. He helped me get this
record,” Rice said.
Montana and Rice connected
on 55 touchdown passes. Young
and Rice have hooked up for
scores 49 times, including two
against the Raiders.
The first came on a 69-yard
bomb from Young. Rice then
made like a running back to
pull into a tie with Brown, scor
ing on a 23-yard reverse and
set the record with 4:05 to go
when he outjumped Albert
Lewis for the ball and tumbled
into the end zone.
"He made a great play,” said
NFL’s all-time touchdown leader
Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers scored three touchdowns Monday
against the Los Angeles Raiders to become the all-time , /£' r \
touchdown leader in the National Football League. .

Lewis, “I couldn’t have covered
him any better. I was grabbing
at his arm, grabbing at the ball
but somehow he managed to
hang onto it.”
“I’m embarrassed it was a lit
tle short,” said Young. ‘T had
someone on my back and that’s
all J had. But it is kind of perfect
that it came on a ball that was a
little short and he went up and
took it away for a touchdown.”
Teammates rushed to congrat
ulate Rice.
“He was crying; he deserved
to cry,” running back Ricky Wat
ters said. “He worked so hard for
this. He wanted it. That’s how he
was able to score on that reverse.
That’s how he was able to go up
for that last ball and get it.”
Rice actually thought he was
done for the night after scoring
his second TD.
“Why not?” said offensive co
ordinator Mike Shanahan. “I
thought if we can get it now, it
would be great.”
So, did the 49ers make the
right decision in keeping Young
and trading Montana?
"I’m not going to put myself
on the spot by saying, what if or
what, you know. It’s up to the or
ganization,” he said.
Rice said likes the way he
and Young have developed as a
tandem and thinks they’ll get
even better.
“I watch Joe play during the
season. I watch him throw those
balls. I watch him place those
balls right in receivers hands, 1 ’
Rice said.
“It brings back a lot of memo
ries to me. But you know. One
thing I never told Joe. I never
told Joe he was the greatest to
ever play the game. It’s weird be
cause you get caught up at times
and you don’t think about situa
tions like that until something
happens. And he was the best to
ever play the game.”
Club teachesTae-Kwon-Do
Sport offers students way
to improve physical health,
learn self-defense moves
Kristina Buffin
Thf. Battalion
How can the typical A&M student get in shape,
learn to protect themselves and be part of a long
standing tradition? No, not by bulking up at Bon
fire Cut, but rather by signing up for classes of
fered by the Texas A&M Tae-Kwon-Do club.
Eddie Bartimmo, president of the 23-year old
club, compares the sport to kick boxing since
some of the moves are alike. But Bartimmo said
unlike the depiction of Tae-Kwon-Do in motion
pictures, the class is less sensationalistic but
nevertheless effective.
“We give a well-rounded beginning introduction
to Tae-Kwon-Do, “ Bartimmo said. “We achieve
this with the use of kicks, and with showing the
proper way to hit and punch.”
Nearly 50 percent of participants in the class
es get involved as a way to improve their physi
cal conditioning. Bartimmo praises the sport as
an excellent way for students to get into prime
physical shape.
“This beats getting into a leotard and doing aer
obics, “ Bartimmo said. “(Tae-Kwon-Do) strength
ens muscle groups, increases flexibility and aides
in balancing the strength of the right and left ’
sides of the body.”
Once achieving the highest level, a black belt
many students enter competitions at the local arc
national level.
Member Christian Crowder says competition
was the primary reason that he got involved
“Competition highlights the art and different
styles of Tae-Kwon-Do.” Crowder said.
Another member of the club, black belt Nancy
VanRiper began Tae-Kwon-Do because her father
worried about her being able to defend herself
when she left for college. Although she has never
been in a situation where she has had to defend
herself, she knows a few women who have success
fully defended themselves with Tae-Kwon-Do
against would-be attackers.
Bartimmo says one of the main goals of the
classes is to teach people basic moves to help them
defend themselves.
“We’re trying to prevent people from panicking
when they are attacked, ” Bartimmo said. “Instead
of freezing, the students learn various moves to
safely get out of a dangerous situation.”
