Olajuwon’s surgeiy
□ The two-time NBA
Finals MVP is expected
back by opening day.
HOUSTON (AP) — The
Houston Rockets expect Ha
keem Olajuwon to make a full
recovery from elbow surgery in
plenty of time for the Nov. 3
season opener.
Team doctors operated on
Olajuwon's left elbow Tuesday
to drain fluid and remove an in
fected bursa sac.
Minor swelling and pain in
the elbow had bothered Olaju
won all summer, but flared sud
denly this week to the size of a
grapefruit. Doctors Walter Lowe
and Bruce Moseley decided to
conduct the procedure immedi
ately.
"We drained the infection
and then removed the sac,"
Moseley said. "You have bur
sa sacs all over your body. In
Hakeem's case, it won't make
any difference for him that
he doesn't have the bursa sac
in his elbow.'' . ,,
Olajuwon, who is still resting
a sore back that kept him from
playing Shaquille O'Neal one-
on-one, was under full anesthe
sia for about 45 minutes during
the operation.
He must remain inactive for a
few days and will be allowed to
practice with the team around
Oct. 25, assuming no complica
tions. That means he'll almost
certainly miss the McDonald's
Championship in London next
week.

onship pits the NBA champion
Rockets against a field of six ti
tle-winning foreign clubs. The
Rockets are scheduled to play

tional Basketball League on Oct.
20.
Moseley said there's not
much doubt Olajuwon will be
fully recovered in time for the
regular season.
"Barring anything unfore
seen, I think he'll be ready to go
by opening night," Moseley
said. "The main thing is to make
sure the infection goes away."
Rockets coach Rudy Tom-
janovich said that although Ola
juwon is only missing preseason
playing time, he still considers it
a setback.
"Whenever you're missing a
rotation player for any amount
of time, it's a setback," he said.
"And it's even more of a setback
with Hakeem because he's such
a big part of what we do at both
ends of the court.
"But I will say that now, I
think we're in better shape to
handle something like this.
We've got a lot of hungry guys
who can play a lot of positions
and they are picking up some of
the slack."

AUSTIN (AP) — Players can
make history with one great
game or even one great play in a
rivalry with as much intensity
and tradition as Texas-Okla-
homa.
Such was the case last year as
Texas quarterback James Brown
sizzled in place of injured starter
Shea Morenz and nose guard
Stonie Clark came up with a vic
tory-preserving tackle on fourth-
and-goal in the final seconds as
the Longhorns beat the Sooners
17-10.

Both players became part of
the legend that surrounds the ri
valry, which will mark its 90th
meeting when No. 13 Oklahoma
(4-1) meets No. 18 Texas (4-1) in
the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on
Saturday.
Brown, then a redshirt fresh
man, overcame the hype of the
annual Red River shootout and
an early interception to help his
team battle back from a 7-0 half
time deficit.
He completed 17-of-22 passes
for 148 yards and a touchdown
while rushing for 51 yards and a
TD.
It was an amazing perfor
mance considering he had en
dured a miserable week of prac
tice leading up to the game. His
teammates were worried.
“We had some reservations
and probably would have pre
ferred Shea at the time,” Texas
offensive tackle John Elmore
said. “James was never known
as a good practice quarterback.
“I was surprised at how well
he handled the pressure of mak-

ing his first start in one of the
greatest rivalries in the history
of college football,” Elmore said.
“He wasn’t rambling, and his
eyes weren’t big and wide. He
was calm.”
Brown said he hardly remem
bers any details from the game
and downplays his performance.
“I haven’t looked back on it,”
Brown said. “The only big thing
in my mind was that it was my
first start. I got to show people I
could play. The year before I was
just taking stats.”
This year, Brown is a virtual
veteran as a sophomore. He said
he won’t be nervous on Satur
day.
Clark, unlike Brown, fre
quently reflects on his dramatic
fourth-down tackle of OU’s
James Allen at the Texas goal
line with 43 seconds left in last
season’s game.
“I have it on tape and watch it
all the time,” Clark said. “It’s a
great motivational tape for me. I
love watching it. Hopefully, I can
make a great play like that
again.”
Clark can recall stopping
Allen as if it had happened every
day since last October — shed
ding his block, seeing Allen’s
jaunt around the left end forced
inside by linebacker Robert Reed
and then lowering his helmet
and crashing into Allen just in
front of the goal line.
Winder: Bragging abound in sports
Thomas Jefferson said, “We are not
afraid to follow the truth wherever it may
lead, nor to tolerate any error so long
as reason is left free to combat it.” It is
in this spirit that we pursue the question,
“Quae res veritas?” -- What is truth?

saved a guy who had been shot
97 times through the heart. He
actually walked out of the hospi
tal and went home about three
hours later.”
Teacher: “I did the most amazing
thing at the high school today.
No one was shot or stabbed in the
hallways. The drug dogs found
nothing in the lockers. And all
the students in my classes were
able to read above a third-grade
level. The cafeteria food was even
decent. Principal Hughes said I
deserve all the credit.”
Journalist: “I was interviewing
Newt Gingrich the other day, and
he told me on the record that
‘Hillary was a babe.’ He also said
he wished there was more skin
on HBO and liked to relax by lis
tening to gangsta rap. My editor
wouldn’t let me run the story
though, he didn’t think it was
news-worthy.”
Priest: “I did confession today,
and you would not believe what
this one girl did. I made her say
one billion Hail Mary’s.”
Lawyer: “I had a client that was
accused of a double murder. They
had DNA evidence, blood in his
vehicle and on his socks, that
pointed to him as the murderer. I
got the jury to find him not
guilty, and the trial really didn’t
take that long.”
