SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Charles Haley says he is leav
ing. He won’t be the only Dallas
Cowboy..
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.

turnovers and the free throw
shooting will take care of itself.”
The Aggies have not played in
The Summit since 1985 when
they lost to Lamar University.
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-

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.

should not

“Everybody else, except us,

think we can get to regionals,
possibly host a regional, and I
think we can. We have high ex
pectations for ourselves.”

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?
