The Rangers sent 12 batters to the plate as they collected seven hits and two walks against Astros starter Darryl Kile in the first. Over all, Kile allowed eight hits and nine earned runs in three innings. Gil’s home run was his third in the last three games and also marked the fourth consec utive game which he has dri ven in a run. The Rangers shortstop, who had struggled at the plate much of the spring, also added a pair of doubles during the Rangers’ 18-hit per formance. Texas starter Roger Pavlik became the first Ranger to pitch six innings this spring. Pavlik, who entered the game with an ERA of 2.25 this spring, was impres sive as he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three. Oilers, 49ers choose Aggies □ Eight Southwest Conference play ers were selected in the seven- round draft this weekend. Staff and Wire Reports Texas A&M running back Rodney Thomas and linebacker Antonio Armstrong were two of the eight Southwest Conference players taken during the seven-round NFL draft this weekend. Thomas was drafted in the third-round by the Houston Oilers, the 89th pick overall and Arm strong went in the sixth round to the San Francis co 49ers as the 201st pick. Two SWC linemen went in the first round, with the University of Houston’s offensive tackle Billy Milner being the top SWC pick overall, going 25th to the Miami Dolphins. Four picks later, the Carolina Pan thers selected University of Texas tackle Blake Brockermeyer. Two Texas Christian Horned Frogs were the lone SWC representatives in the second round. Center Barret Rob bins was taken by the Los Angeles Raiders at No.48 and wide receiver Jim my Oliver went to the San Diego Chargers with the 61st pick. In the fourth round, the newly relocated St. Louis Rams selected wide receiver Lovell Pinkney from the University of Texas with the 115th pick. Pinkney, who had been considered first round ma terial a year ago, was hurt considerably by in juries and alumni scandal allegations during his senior season. Defensive tackle Steve Strahan was the lone pick from the Baylor Bears when he was selected with the 188th pick by the Carolina Panthers. In the fi nal round, former A&M linebacker Jessie Cox was taken by the Indianapolis Colts. Cox played his final collegiate season at Texas Southern. Besides taking Thomas, the Houston Oilers made several picks to help them in the present and one big pick that points to their franchise’s future. The Oilers’ used the third pick overall to grab quarterback Steve McNair from Alcorn State. Oil er officials said they want to bring McNair along slowly and that the Division II star may not play for a couple of seasons. Besides drafting Thomas in the third round, the Oilers also selected; Anthony Cook, a defen sive tackle from South Carolina State, Chris Sanders, a wide receiver from Ohio State, Torey Hunter, a defensive back from Washington State, Michael Roan, a tight end from Wisconsin, Gary Walker, a defen sive end from Auburn, Hicham El- Mashtoub, a center from Arizona and C.J.

The Cowboys selections were; Sherman Williams, a running back from Alabama, Kendall Watkins, a tight end from Mississippi State, Shane Hannah, a guard from Michigan State, Charlie Williams, a defensive back from Bowling Green, Eric Bjornson, a wide receiver from Wash ington, Alundis Brice, a defensive back from Mis sissippi, Line Hardin, a linebacker from Okla homa State, Edward Hervey, a wide receiver from Southern California and Oscar Sturgis, a defen sive end North Carolina. Spurs dance □ The Spurs move into the playoffs with a six-game winning streak. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Even with David Robinson playing less than half the game Sunday, the San Antonio Spurs rolled into the playoffs with their sixth straight victory, 97-91 over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs, who with 62 wins fin ished atop the NBA for the first time in team history, will play Den ver in a first-round playoff game Friday. The Nuggets beat the Kings 102-89 Sunday night at Denver for the final postseason spot. Already guaranteed the best record in franchise history and the top seed in the Western Conference, the Spurs rested Robinson most of the game. Chuck Person came off the bench to score 20 points against his former team. Averaging 27.8 points and 10.9 rebounds, Robinson sat out the en tire second and fourth quarters. He still finished with 13 points, four rebounds and two assists as past Wolves San Antonio beat the Wolves for the 27th time in 30 games. No team has more wins against Minnesota since it entered the NBA in 1989. The Wolves (21-61) finished tied with Washington for the second- worst record in the league, better only than the Los Angeles Clip pers. Minnesota is the first team in NBA history to lose 60 or more games four seasons in a row and finished 41 games behind San An tonio in the Midwest Division. The Wolves were led by Isaiah Rider, who scored 25 points in what could be his last game in Minnesota. The second-year shoot ing guard frequently has flouted team rules this year and is be lieved to he.available to any team that feels it can tame a talented and troubled player. Christian Laettner, also men tioned in trade talks, had 16 points and eight rebounds for Minnesota. Dennis Rodman, the league’s re bounding champion for the fourth year in a row, added 10 points to his 16 rebounds for the Spurs. With Robinson playing only half of the first quarter, the Wolves stayed close in the first half with Rider scoring 14 points and Rooks scoring 13. Aggie tennis Continued from Page 7 TCU snapped the Uni versity of Texas’ five game winning streak in the fi nal round by defeating the Longhorns in a tightly contested match, 4-3. In the consolation round, the Aggies fought back to defeat Southern Methodist University and finish third in the tourna ment. Junior Eric Horan defeated Vikram Venkataraghaven 6-0, 3-6, 6-0 to win his 30th match of the season. Eduardo Martinez came back from being down 5-2 in the third set to defeat Paul Stephens 6- 2, 4-6, 7-5. "Eddie Martinez came out of nowhere,” Kent said. "He and Horan are the unsung heroes this season. They have both been good at the top and consistent. They have both had a good year.” Horan finished third in overall singles play in the SWC with a record of 5-1. Ricardo Rodarte placed sixth with a record of 5-1. Although the Aggies place third, there was a bit of a letdown from the first place finish last season. “We are disappointed,” Eric Horan said. "We place third and beat the teams that we could. SWC tennis is tough, but we will be ready to step it up another level for the regionals.” A&M will host the NCAA Region VI Men’s Championship. The win ner will receive the South west Region’s automatic bid to the NCAA Champi onships. The Aggies are looking forward to a re match with TCU. “We have the role of the underdog,” Horan said. “They have beaten us twice and they are un der pressure to beat us again. TCU is a team that is supposed to go to the NCAA’s. It’s been a long season but this is the start of a new season right now.” vehicles. Malt* t dents?' W. W ^ Now!
