Alexander receives
postseason honors
Texas A&M junior outfielder Chad
Alexander was named a third-team
All-American over the weekend by
Baseball America magazine.
Alexander hit .376 during the regu
lar season and set an A&M school
record for hits in a season with 106.
He also hit 16 home runs and drove in
a team-high 70 runs.
Rice's Jose Cruz Jr., the third pick
overall in the major league draft, made
the first team, along with Texas Tech
third baseman Clint Bryant.
Tech's second baseman Jason Tot-
man was the sole Southwest Confer
ence player to make the second team.
Astros sweep in Atlanta
for first time since '89
ATLANTA (AP) — The Houston As
tros got homers from Luis Gonzalez
and Craig Biggio and completed their
first three-game sweep in Atlanta since
1989 with a 6-2 victory over the
Braves on Sunday.
Right-hander Shane Reynolds (2-4)
halted a personal three-game losing
streak and got his first victory since May
9, allowing two runs and eight hits in six
innings. He struck out six and walked
one in helping Houston complete its
road trip with a 4-1 record.
Derek Bell singled in two runs in
the third, Gonzalez hit a two-run
homer in the fifth and Biggio had a
solo homer in the fifth.
Eggeling wins $90,000
in Oldsmobile Classic
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) —
Dale Eggeling shot a 1-under-par 71
Sunday to win the Oldsmobile Classic,
earning more from this one tourna
ment than she has In 1§ of her 19
years on the LPGA Tour.
Eggeling, who led all three rounds
after opening with a 63 Thursday, won
for the first time In 15 years and took
home $90,000.
She finished at 14-under 274 at Wal
nut Hills Country Club, two strokes
ahead of Meg Mallon, Elaine Crosby
and v Annika Sorenstam of Sweden.
This was Eggeling's first victory
since the Boston Five Classic in 1980
when she collected just over $45,000
for the year.
Wade, Kirkland take second in NCAAs
□ The two high hurdlers both
set new school records.
Staff and Wire Reports
It was a day of firsts for Texas A&M
Saturday at the NCAA Track and Field
Championships held in Knoxville, Tenn.,
even though none of the Aggie competitors
won their events.
Junior hurdler Anjanette Kirkland fin
ished second in the women’s 110-meter
high hurdles with a time of 13.09 seconds.
Her time was the best ever by a South
west Conference athlete, breaking the wind-
aided time of 13.43 seconds by former A&M
runner Rosa Baker in Austin in 1992.
Kirkland now owns five of the 10 fastest
times in school history in the 110. Last
season, Kirkland finished third in the
NCAA indoors championships.
Kirkland had recorded a time of 12.89
seconds earlier this year, which was the
fastest time in the nation and the fourth-
fastest time in the world. She was defeated
by Gillian Russell of Miami, the three-time
defending national champion. Russell fin
ished with a time of 12.99 seconds.
Also tearing up the record books on Sat
urday was sophomore Larry Wade, who
finished second in the men’s 110-meter
hurdles with a time of 13.41 seconds.
Both Wade and the event’s winner, Du
ane Ross of Clemson, broke the existing
track record of 13.54 seconds in the event,
previously set by Willie Gault in 1982.
Wade went into the event with the
fastest collegiate time this season at 13.66
seconds. Despite finishing second in the
nation, Wade set a new A&M team record
for the event, bypassing Richard Bucknor’s
1989 time of 13.43 seconds.
Wade has come a long way from last
season when he placed only third last at
the conference meet.
Both performers finished strong de
spite nagging injuries. Kirkland was suf
fering from a three-day-old scratched
cornea and Wade had a severely sore an
kle for the entire week.
The Aggies did not fare as well as a
team as some of its individual performers
did. Both the men’s and women’s team
finished tied for 28th with eight points
apiece.
The SWC had four other runners com
peting in the men’s 110- meter hurdles.
The University of Houston’s Ubeja Ander
son also broke the old track’s record in
the event with a time of 13.51 seconds,
finishing third behind Wade.
Baylor’s Jeff Jackson, who finished sec
ond in last year’s competition, took fourth
place Saturday with a time of 13.6 seconds.
Also competing in the event was Michi
gan’s Tyrone Wheatley, who was selected
in the first round of this year’s NFL draft
by the New York Giants. Wheatley fin
ished eighth in the race with a time of
13.99 seconds.
The successful ending for the Aggies
came after an extremely rough start last
Wednesday that included junior decath-
lete Richard Harrison breaking his foot in
the high jump.
Stew Milne, The Battalion
A&M sophomore Larry Wade set an A&M record
Saturday with a time of 1 3.54 in the 110-m hurdles.
Missing championship ingredie
I n September, the Texas
A&M football team will be
gin a quest that has been
66 years in the making.
Ever since the top-ranked Ag-
S es knocked off fifth-ranked Tu
ne University in the 1940 Sug
ar Bowl, they have strived to
reach the plateau of the national
championship again.
There are mumblings in the
press around the country that
the Aggies have corralled enough
talent to make a run at that title
this season.
But despite the fact that
Ol
Nick

Sports Editor
A&M has several candidates for
postseason honors including
Leeland McElroy, the best darn
tailback in school history, it has
come to my attention that some
thing is missing from the team.
Me.
No, just kidding. What is re
ally missing is the attention of
the national media. The media
seem interested in Texas A&M
University only when talk turns
to scandal and probation. Face
it, the Aggies are too far south
to draw the attention of the ma
jority of sportswriters, televi
sion commentators and poll vot
ers situated on the East Coast
or in California.
So what to do about this sit
uation? Even the athletic de
partment doesn’t have enough
funding to move home games
nt found
to New York and Los Angeles.
Never fear, however. There is
another solution.
The time has come to "Holly-
woodiae” the Fightin’ Texas Ag
gie Football Team.
Now I don’t want to cast out
our old traditions, but it is time
to build upon them to bring Ag
gie football into the 1990s.
Step One: We need a big-
time production number for the
team introductions. I’m talking
NBA-quality here. The way

campers get
taste of A&M
By Lee Wright
The Battalion
The pamphlet for the camp
reads, “To become a better foot
ball player call... ” followed by a
phone number.
That may seem a bold procla
mation, but when it comes from
the coach with the highest active
winning percentage in college
football, it does have its merit.
The first of Texas A&M head
coach R.C. Slocum’s summer
football camps was held this
past weekend at Kyle Field. It
was the first of three such ses
sions that will be held during
the next month
Tim Cassidy, the associate
athletic director of football oper
ations and director of the camp,
said it will help players of a va
riety of ages and skill levels
hone their football abilities.
"These young men will go
through a battery of exercises
and drills,” Cassidy said. “They
can learn to improve their
strength, vertical jump, 40-yard
dash time and gain a good under
standing of the game of football.”
There was a mini-camp held
on Saturday exclusively for class
of 1995 athletes. More than 120
athletes attended.
The other two sessions will
last four days, the first of which
started Sunday and will run
through Wednesday. These ses
sions are targeted toward boys
between the ages of eight and 13
and a turnout of 190 is expected.
The campers will lodge and
dine in Cain Hall, just like the
real A&M football team.
Cassidy said the camp is de
signed to give the attendees a
full view of A&M as well as foot
ball in general.
“After the camp, we want the
young men to leave Texas A&M
with a positive attitude, “ Cas
sidy said. “(We want them) to
realize that there is a great
