Page 4 • The Battalion Sports Wednesday • June 7,15: Rodriguez earns All-American credentials Staff and Wire Reports Texas A&M senior Anthony Rodriguez was selected to the first-team, All-America golf squad by the Golf Coaches Association of America Tuesday. He is the first Aggie All-American since Phillip Parkin was selected in 1984. “This is just awesome,” Ro driguez said. “When Coach Ellis told me about it, I felt a lot like I did when I won conference. It was very emotional.” The 1995 Southwest Confer ence player of the year, Rodriguez won a school-record five tourna ments this season, more than any other player in the nation. During his career at A&M, Rodriguez earned All-SWC hon ors three times. His 72.08 stroke average this season was the sec ond best in school history behind Parkin’s record of 71.9 in 1984. Next up for Rodriguez is a trip to Japan. He will represent the United States in the TJ.S. — Japan Collegiate Matches later this month. He will also play in the All-American Amateur in New Jersey before turning pro July 8. “I’m really happy for Antho ny,” Texas A&M head golf coach Bob Ellis said. “He’s had a tremendous year.” Rodriguez was one of only nine players on the All-American team. Despite the honor, Rodriguez says he wants to be remembered as more than just an athlete at Texas A&M. “I want to be remembered as an All-American person as well,” Rodriguez said.

Mantle may need liver transplant □ The New York Yankee great has been in a Dallas-area hospital since May 28. DALLAS (AP) — Baseball great Mickey Mantle has developed progressive liver failure and may need a liver transplant, a close friend of the Hall of Famer said Tuesday. Mantle, 63, was admitted May 28 to Baylor Uni versity Medical Center. Hospital spokeswoman Denise Kile Walton said he was in stable condition. Roy True, a Dallas attorney and longtime friend of the former New York Yankees center fielder, said in a statement that doctors have character ized Mantle’s condition as progressive liver failure due to infection. True quoted Drs. Daniel DeMarco and Kent Hamilton, specialists in gastroenterology, as say ing Mantle may require a liver transplant. They said he will remain hospitalized until he has been treated and recovered sufficiently. True did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press, although he told The Dallas Morning News for Wednesday’s editions that Man tle is in good spirits and the former slugger asked to know more about his condition. “I told him it was probably good you can be a le gitimate candidate for a transplant,” True said. Reached by the Morning News at his hospital room Tuesday, Mantle said only, “I’m not doing too good.” Mantle’s doctors are to hold a news conference Wednesday at the Baylor center at 10 a.m. EDT. Robert Goldstein, one of the hospital’s liver trans plant specialists, is to attend. “He’s had a liver problem for a long time,” Hamilton told the newspaper. “I don’t knowtli: this will get better without it (a transplant).” A timetable for a possible transplant “deper on how he does, the waiting list and the doc organs,” Hamilton said, adding Mantle condition probably would increase his chances: a candidate. Mantle and his wife, Merlyn, live in Dallas,: do their sons Danny, David and Mickey Jr. Mantle was hospitalized in May with stems; problems. His son, David, said at the time his: ther was doing much better. He called his fathe: stomach ailment “just one of those things.” Mantle joked during his playing days that: would have taken better care of himself if he te he was going to live this long. He comes fro: a family with a history of health problems at he has had a variety of troubles in recent yean including a highly publicized bout with alcoholis; He spent a month in the Betty Ford Cent: in 1994. In April 1987, he was admitted to an Irvinghi pita! after complaining of chest pains. Teststh year revealed he suffered only from exhaust and mild pneumonia. Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher and lor: time teammate, said Tuesday night he spoker. Mantle last week when he entered the hospital. “He said he had some kind of stomach proble and was going to get a physical,” Berra saidfe: his home in Montclair, N.J. “He knew he wass:. then, but he didn’t know what it was. WhiteyFe: talked to him this afternoon, but (Mantle)w: pretty heavily sedated.” Word of Mantle’s condition reached basek owners in Minneapolis, where they are trying; sort out the sport’s labor problems. Olajuwon, O’Neal take center stage tonight ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Ha keem and Shaq. Grace vs. pow er. Experience against youth. On one side, there’s 32-year- old Hakeem Olajuwon, a 7-foot- er with dazzling moves, a soft touch and at the top of his game. On the other, there’s 23-year-old Shaquille O’Neal, a 7-1, 303- pound giant who is one of the most powerful forces the league has ever seen. On Wednesday night, when Olajuwon’s Houston Rockets meet O’Neal’s Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the spotlight will fall on these two soft-spoken super-centers. There’s no postur ing and certainly no trash talking as this series begins. “These are two class guys,” Clyde Drexler said. “It says some thing about Hakeem and it also says something about Shaq.” On the eve of the big game, O’Neal talked of sneaking in the back door of the Hemisfair Are na in San Antonio when he was 16 to get Olajuwon’s autograph. There is no one in the league O’Neal admires more. “He’s a class act,” O’Neal said. “On the court, he’s a very hard-nosed player. He doesn’t play dirty. He doesn’t down oth er players. Off the court, he’s well-dressed, soft-spoken, nice to people. So compare me to him if you’re going to compare me to anybody.” Olajuwon said he’s admired ORLANDO VS.

PARIS (AP) — A painful hip and a powerful opponent were too much for Andre Agassi in his latest quest for a first French Open championship. The top-ranked Agassi, who injured his right hip in the first set, was upset by Russia’s Yevgeny Kafelnikov 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 on Tuesday in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. The loss prevented Agassi from advancing toward his third straight Grand Slam title and the only one that has eluded him. “You come here to play well, to give it everything,” said Agas si, who added that he hurt the hip while sliding for a ball in ei ther the third or fourth game. “For it to end like that is ex tremely disappointing.” The win was extremely satis fying for Kafelnikov, who reached his first Grand Slam semifinal. “He might be injured, but it’s no excuse in the quarterfinal of the French Open,” Kafelnikov said. “I was just going for every shot, and Andre knew he was under pressure.” In the semis, the ninth-seed ed Kafelnikov plays Thomas Muster, a 6-2, 3-6, 6-7 (8-6), 7-5, 6-2 winner over Alberto Costa.
