Cowboy-49er
rivalry rides
on key factors
DREW
DIENER
Sportswriter
A ll eyes will be focused on Can
dlestick Park this Sunday
when the defending world
champion Dallas Cowboys visit the
explosive San Francisco 49ers. In a
match-up that should prove to be
1994’s best gridiron battle, the de
fending champs will be put to a ma
jor test. It’s anyone’s guess which
team will prevail.
Sitting in class the other day, I fig
ured out the perfect imperfect method
for determining a winner. Six factors
weigh into the equation that should
predict Sunday’s winner. Without
further ado, let the analysis begin...
Factor #6-(why are there six fac
tors you might ask? Because it’s one
less than the number of Super Bowl
appearences by Dallas.) O.K. Let’s
get to Factor #6: Things that cause
people to bitch in both cities. (Don’t
ask questions, just pay attention)
Wow, this is a toss-up. In Dallas,
there is Central Expressway. Traf
fic, traffic, traffic, construction, con
struction, construction. Poor transit
planning by the city’s forefathers
created the mess that is Central Ex
pressway. Ask a Dallasite or Dallas
suburbanite about it, and I’m sure
they’ll relate a bitchy anecdote
about sitting in traffic on Central.
What about San Francisco? Hell,
they’ve got those damn earthquakes;
ruined a World Series in 1988, and
destroyed the city in 1906. If I were
from San Francisco, I’d bitch about
those damn earthquakes. Traffic de
lays your life a few minutes every
day. Earthquakes ruin your life.
The verdict: Touchdown San Fran
cisco, earthquakes plow through
stingy traffic. 7-ONiners.
Factor #5: Music artists that call
Dallas or San Fran home. Green Day
is from the Bay Area (Berkeley)
which instantly limits the 49ers’
chance of winning. However, San
tana is a Frisco band, and they are
pretty cool. But, Santana and Green
Day are no match for Reverend Hor
ton Heat and Jackopierce. Throw the
Grateful Dead on to the Niners’ ros
ter, and they are still no match for
Dallas, which gave birth to the late
Stevie Ray Vaughn. Touchdown and
a two-point conversion, O’Neil to the
Reverend, Dallas 8, San Fran 7.
Factor #4: Cool people. Hands
down, San Francisco wins.

A&M basketball shows off talent for ’94-95
Maroon wins intrasquad scrimmage
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
An estimated crowd of 1300 was treat
ed to a sneak preview of the 1994-95
Texas A&M men’s basketball team Tues
day night at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The night’s festivities included a
three-point shootout, slam dunk chal
lenge, alumni game, and an in
trasquad scrimmage.
The scrimmage proved to be the
main event of the evening, with the
White team dominating the Maroon
squad 42-23 in 20 minutes of action.
“This is the first time we’ve put 20
minutes on the clock and gone up and
down (this year),” Barone said. “You al
ways find out that you are never in
shape when you do this because this is
the way you play for 40 minutes.
“When you’re out there by yourself
with very little subbing, it’s a problem.”
Aside from the fact that his team
was not in regular season condition,
Barone said he was satisfied with the
overall effort.
“I was pretty pleased with the way
we ran,” Barone said. “I thought our
shot selection was fair, and I thought
our execution was putrid, but that’s
normal for right now.”
White team senior forward Damon
Johnson led all scorers with 11 points,
while freshman point guard Kyle Kessel
paved the way for the White victory
with nine assists and two steals.
Barone had some encouraging things
to say about Kessel as well as senior
forward Joe Wilbert.
“I thought Kyle played
extremely well for a fresh
man,” Barone said. “I was
very pleased with Joe
Wilbert tonight. I don’t
know what his stats were
and I really don’t care
about stats.”
Playing all 20 minutes,
Wilbert racked up six
points and five rebounds.
Junior forward John
Stevens, a transfer from
Lamar Community Col
lege, led the Maroon team
with seven points and five
rebounds.
“Johnny Stevens did a
great job on the offensive
glass,” Barone said. “He did
n’t get some shots to fall.”
Absent from action
were freshman guard
Waseem Ali, who was out
with a bruised thumb, and
sophomore forward Chris
Pulliams. Barone said Ali
could have played, howev
er, it was not worth the
risk of re-injury.
Barone said Pulliams is suspended
indefinitely for sub-par academic per
formances.
“Chris has been put on what I call aca
demic probation with me,” Barone said.
“His grades are not where I want them to
be, and he will be back with us when his

grades are where I want them to be.
“This is not a school matter, this is
not an eligibility matter, this is a
Barone matter. The priority here is
your academic world. Once you don’t
conform to my standards academically,
then you’re not going to have the honor
of putting on the uniform.”
Pleased with the turnout of fans,
Barone said he is encouraged by the
growing support for Aggie basketball.
“Three years ago, we would have
been begging people to walk in the
door,” Barone said. “I think people
were excited about coming to watch us
tonight, and that’s a big plus.”

Lady Aggies take on the Cougars 7 P.M. at G. Rollie.
Volleyball team faces 17th-ranked UH
Lady Aggies finish conference regular season play in G. Rollie White
By Jason Holstead
The Battalion
The 1994 Texas A&M volleyball team will wrap up
their Southwest Conference regular season schedule
tonight as they host 17th-ranked University of Hous
ton at 7 o’clock at G. Rollie Coliseum.
When the two teams met last month in Houston,
the Cougars beat the Lady Aggies in three highly-
competitive games, 17-15, 19-17, 15-7.
Head coach Laurie Corbelli said the key to the
Cougars’ attack is their outside hitter, Lilly Denoon-
Chester.
“We will be facing the top player in the SWC (Lilly
Denoon-Chester), and she is always a challenge to
stop,” Corbelli said. “To defeat them will no be easy,
but it is.possible, I anticipate a very tough match.”
Houston (26-3, 9-6 in the SWC) clinched its first-
ever SWC crown last week by defeating Rice Univer
sity in four games. The win marked the first time in
conference history that a team other that Texas has
captured the championship.
In conference play, Denoon-Chester leads the team
in kills (5.06 per game) and hitting percentage (.302).
As a team, Houston is riding a 17-match winning
streak, including a perfect 9-0 mark in the SWC.
Corbelli said the Lady Aggies are confident going
into tonight’s game.
“We have to serve them tough and we have to
serve-receive well to execute our offense,” Corbelli
said. “I feel real good about our match (with Hous
ton). I think this team can taste it, especially since
we have been playing well.”
Suzy Wente, A&M’s junior setter, said the team’s
attitude is good, even though they have struggled
though a difficult season.
“We know we have lost a couple of close games and
we have talked about how difficult our schedule is,”
Wente said. “Playing teams like Notre Dame, Michi
gan State and Colorado State early (in the season), I
think it’s paying off for us now and we are playing a
lot better.”
Wente said having played Houston earlier in the
season will be a advantage for A&M.
“I think it will be an advantage now because we
know a lot of the plays they run, and we have made
some adjustments,” Wente said. “I think having a
home-court advantage is going to pay off a lot because
it is hard coming in here and playing in this place.”
After tonight’s game, the Lady Aggies will travel
to Springfield, Missouri, Saturday to face Iowa
State and Southwest Missouri State Universities in
the John Q. Hammons Student Center on the
SMSU campus.
