If Haley really does follow through on his retirement plans, he will free $1.8 million under the salary cap for the Cowboys next year. Owner Jerry Jones will need the money to try to hold together what could be a fast unraveling team. Nine Dallas starters will be free agents, including wide re ceiver Michael Irvin, who en tered the NFC championship record book with 12 catches for 192 yards in Sunday’s 38-28 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Because of all the free agents, the Cowboys could be disassem bled faster than any Super Bowl team in history. The Cowboys lost five top players to free agency this season, and it helped keep them from winning a record third con secutive Super Bowl. The Cowboys will need a pro ductive draft and keep their vet eran players at home or the tal ent slide could continue. Safety James Washington was talking as though the Cow boys won’t sign him again. “It’s been a great three years,” Washington said. “You ride it out and enjoy it as long as you can.” The Cowboys might not try to re-sign former first-round draft pick Russell Maryland, who had an off-season and might have to take a pay cut from his $1 mil- lion-a-year salary to stay with the team. And with Irvin demanding a $3 million a year salary, the Cowboys will find it difficult to keep him and Alvin Harper. Steve Endicott, Irvin’s agent, said, “Mike needs to be paid in the $3 million category. He should be paid with the best re ceivers in the NFL. ” Harper, who almost left the team last year, likely will move on down the road. Harper is a big-play receiver but Irvin gives the Cowboys more consistency. Center Mark Stepnoski is sure to draw some bids well over the $1 million per year range. Tight end Jay Novacek is anoth er free agent and the club will do its best to sign him. Novacek made 11 catches when the Cowboys beat Green Bay 35-9 in the divisional playoffs. The club will make a strong bid to keep defensive end Tony Tolbert, who had an excellent season. Tolbert will get top dol lar because of a year that includ ed an intercepted pass returned for a touchdown. With Haley gone, it will be imperative that last year’s No. 1 draft pick, Shante Carver, comes on strong in summer camp, Carver was a bust in 1994 as a defensive end. Other significant free agents include place kicker Chris Bo niol, tight end Scott Galbraith, quarterbacks Rodney Peete and Jason Garrett, guard Derek Kennard, defensive end Jim Jef fcoat, punter John Jett, line backer Darrin Smith, defensive backs Clayton Holmes, defensive back Kenny Gant and fullback Tommie Agee. Gant was paid $4 00,000 in 1994 and may have priced him self out of the market. “We’re going to be OK,” Jones said. “We’ve got a good, young team and we’re going to keep the players we think can help us down the line.” Jones will have to open his billfold. Quarterback Troy Aik man will make $4 million in 1995 and running back Emmitt Smith won’t be too far behind.

Since 1977, A&M has an overall record of 3-8 at The Summit. “Playing at The Summit on an NBA court will add that little bit of excitement to the game,” Barone said. “Being able to play and win at The Summit adds credibility to your program.” Having only one day to pre pare for the game does not worry Barone and the team that much but it does add a bit of pressure. “Rice is a tough team to pre pare for because they execute well,” Barone said. “Having only one day to prepare will be tough.” Senior Joe Wilbert has been on a rampant point production and rebound pace in the last nine games. He is averaging 21.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and shooting a SWC best 60.5 per cent from the field. Rebounds, especially offen sive, will be key for the Aggies. Although A&M’s starting lineup only has an average height of 6 feet 4 inches, the Aggies have an average rebounding edge of +6.6. Senior guard Tony McGinnis is second on the team with 47 of fensive rebounds. * “McGinnis is the best 6-foot- 5-inch offensive rebounder in the country,” Barone said. “He’s (also) the best defensive player in the SWC.” The Aggies have had a histo ry of coming back strong after big losses, and the team will treat this game as if it were any other game and not look back. “I give credit to the kids for being able to bounce back,” Barone said. “They handle both successes and adversity well. “They’re good at identifying how to improve and our ap- Continued from page 15 Practice have caught Johnson’s eye and made an impression on him. “We have had quite a few guys, including freshman catcher Matt Garrick and J.J. Matske, who transferred from Houston, who have caught our attention,” he said. “There have been some oth er guys, but we just have to wait and see how they do.” One preseason poll ranks the Ag gies 23rd in the nation, with conference opponents Texas and Rice ranked ahead of them. Also, a tough non-conference schedule that includes Arizona, Cal-State Northridge, Dallas Baptist, and the competition at the Aggie Continental Classic, will await the Aggies this year. Johnson believes the non-confer ence schedule will ready the team for conference play. “Those teams will push us to become a better ball club,” he said. “That’s why we set up these matchups with those out standing teams.” The players believe they have the team that can contend for the confer- ence crown and possibly a berth into the re- g i o n a 1 pi ayoffs. S o p h o - more out- fielder Chad Allen feels p e o p 1 e should not count this team out. “Everybody else, except us, thinks we are not going to do that good, but we want to win conference,” Allen said. “We think we can get to regionals, possibly host a regional, and I think we can. We have high ex pectations for ourselves.” "Those (non-con ference) teams will push us to become a better ball club" — Mark Johnson, Head baseball coach Continued from page 15 Georgandis So since something must be getting lost in transition, let’s try to figure out what it is. First of all, there’s the schedule. A&M football is a given on every au tumn Saturday, while the bas ketball schedule fluctuates from week to week. Now, I know you all have to study every single night without fail, but couldn’t you give yourself a little respite from the books for a two-hour break once a week? After all, it’s for the good of the University. But even the weekend crowds aren’t so hot at “The Holler House on the Brazos”. Last fall, there were 5,000 fans at the LSU game in Baton Rouge and anoth er 1,500 at the Louisville game Are you telling me 5,000 people can drive six hours to watch the football team beat LSU, but only 4,100 can make the 500-foot trek from their dorms to G. Rollie White to see the Lady Aggies clash with their Longhorn rivals? Please. Well, I’ve tried just about every motivational idea I can think of to bolster attendance, but I’ve still got an ace in the hole. Just a little stat for you from the pages of the University of Texas media guide: 1993-94 average home attendance for UT’s men’s and women’s basket ball teams: Men-11,671, women- 3,652. A&M’s attendance for the same year was around 3,600 for the men and 1,100 for the women. Are you gonna stand for that, Ags?
