Braves' Maddux nabs
unanimous Cy Young
NEW YORK (AP) — For Greg
Maddux, winning the Cy Young
Award — even unanimously — is
just another part of his routine.
"We might have a little party to
morrow night or something," he
said Monday after capturing his
fourth consecutive NL Cy Young,
his second straight by a shutout
vote. "After winning the World Se
ries, we're pretty much partied out."
Maddux, at 29 perhaps not even
halfway through his career, contin
ued to put up numbers that can be
compared only with baseball's
greats.
Steve Carlton is the only other
pitcher to win four Cy Youngs. He
did it for Philadelphia in 1972,
1977, 1980 and 1982.
Michigan tabs Carr as
permanent head coach
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) —
Lloyd Carr, the interim coach who
has guided Michigan to an 8-2
record and a No. 12 ranking, was
hired today as the Wolverines' per
manent football coach today.
Athletic director Joe Roberson,
who made the announcement, did
not reveal terms of the contract.
Carr was given the job last spring
after Gary Moeller was forced to re
sign following a drunken incident in
a suburban Detroit restaurant.
Under Carr, the Wolverines
opened the season by defeating Vir
ginia 18-17 in the Pigskin Classic on
Scott Dreisbach's 1 5-yard touch
down pass to Mercury Hayes on the
last play.

Newcomers shine in exhibition loss
□ The Aggie Basketball
Team lost to the Mel
bourne Magic, 88-84.
By Kristina Buffin
The Battalion
They may be young, but they
looked pretty good.
The Texas A&M Men’s Bas
ketball Team took on the Mel
bourne Magic in front of 1,832
fans at G. Rollie White Coliseum
last night, in its first exhibition
game of the season. Although the
Magic defeated A&M 88-84, the
Aggies showed that despite the
loss of four of last years starters,
they will be a force to be reckoned
with this year.
“I am pleased with the game,”
A&M Head Coach Tony Barone
said. “I have no complaints. Obvi
ously I wanted to win, but Striek
er and Ockey are out.”
Freshmen center Brad Striek
er had ankle surgery on Friday
for bone chips and is expected to
be out for 2-8 weeks. Freshman
forward Joel Ockey has a
sprained ankle and is expected to
be out for 4-5 days.
The Aggies came out strong in
the first half. After falling behind
15-18, A&M went on a 25-5 run
to bring the score to 35-23. Lead
ing the way for the Aggies was
junior transfer Derrick Hart who
made 5-of-7 three-point shots and
led the team with 19 points in the
first half
Hart finished the game with
27 points and led the team with
seven three-pointers.
“It was a big challenge to step
up against veteran players,” Hart
said. “It made me step up my
game, especially on defense.”
Leading the way for the Magic
were former college players
Travis Mays and Billy McCaffrey.
Mays played for the University of
Texas from 1986-1990 and went
on to play for the Sacramento
Kings for a year and the Atlanta
Hawks for three.
McCaffrey'played on Duke Uni
versity’s national championship
team in 1991 before transferring
to Vanderbilt where he played
from 1992-1994 and was an All-
American.
“They played good against
Mays and McCaffrey and a de
cent job in containing them,”
Barone said. “But I’m disappoint
ed with the inside defense.”
Mays led the Magic with 21
points and made 3-of-5 three-
pointers. McCaffrey led the team
with 12 assists and had 13 points.
The Aggies led at halftime 50-
39, but in the second half A&M
showed signs of fatigue. It was ob
vious as A&M’s shooting percent
age fell from .655 in the first half
to .353 in the second half.
A&M also committed 11
turnovers in the second half.
“The most glaring problem was
physical conditioning,” Barone
said. “You get into basketball
game shape by playing games.
Now the players understand what
it takes to be in game shape.”
Sophomore guard Kyle Kessel
is the only returning starter
from last year’s team and this
years team is comprised of un
derclassmen and two junior
transfer players.Team chemistry
was something that the Aggies
were worried about but in the
first half A&M seemed to not
have a problem.
“In the first half, we clicked
and played really well,” Kessel
said. “The team chemistry was
good. In the second half we just
kind of stood around and weren’t
sure what to do. It will just take
time. It was just jitters because it
was the first game. Our legs were
tired in the second half, but we’ll
be all right.”
Freshman guard Tracey An
derson turned in the second-best
performance of the team with 19
points. Anderson said the team is
young they still have a lot to learn
but is confident that the team will
develop the chemistry needed to
be competitive in the 1996 season.
“We still have a lot to learn,”
Anderson said. “This is the first
time we have played against vet
erans and we have a lot of work to
do. We need to work on our offen
sive execution and work on de
fense.
“Our chemistry is good when
we are fresh. We are in decent
shape, but not in game shape.”
The Aggies next exhibition
game will be on Nov. 20 against
Conoco at G. Rollie White Colise
um at 7 p.m.

The sweet,

> Malm
you’ve fall
en in love with is merely a front — a
well-performed act that masks the
young version of Archie Bunker that I
really am.
What’s got me so crotchety? What’s
rubbin’ me raw?: Sports, politics and
pretty much life in general. Seeing as I
have about 14 inches of space to fill.
I’m going to take this opportunity to
air out some things.
I might as well get this one over
with: What happened to the Cowboys
on Sunday? San Francisco limps into
Texas Stadium without Steve Young,
without fullback William Floyd, with
out Deion Sanders, and they still
pound the *%$# out the Cowboys.
It was like reliving the horror of
last season’s NFC Championship all
over again.
The Dallas defense played like it
was recovering from a pregame meal
at a bad Mexican restaurant, and the
lack of a Cowboy pass rush made
backup 49er quarterback Elvis Grbac
look like a taller, goofier version of Joe
Montana.
The whole mess leaves me with one
lingering question. What kind of par
ents have the guts to name their kid
Elvis?
I don’t fault citizens of Cleveland
for wanting to string up Browns owner
Art Modell for moving their team to
Baltimore.
So what if Cleveland Municipal Sta
dium is a wreck? So what if it doesn’t
have enough luxury boxes? It’s got per
sonality, damn it.
Modell says he’s just not making
enough money in Cleveland. It seems
he can’t turn a profit or compete with
other teams in the free-agency market
despite hauling in a few hundred mil
lion a year.
Three words of advice. Art — fire
your accountant.
For all of you Houston Oilers fans
distraught over your team’s defection
to Nashville, I say, “Get over it and re
joice!” With one shot you’re getting rid
of the three major scourges of your
city: a mediocre football team that has
broken your collective heart year after
year, a huge putz in owner Bud Adams
and Adams’ bad hairpiece.
Look on the bright side, you still
have the Rockets, Astroworld and
crowded freeways full of the world’s
stupidest drivers.
So Colin Powell proved to be a big
tease in deciding not to seek nomina
tion for president from either party. I
don’t blame him, but I’m just disap
pointed.
Like most people, I vote for the can
didate who I think is the coolest, most
honorable guy rather than voting along
party lines. With Powell gone, who’s
left to vote for in ’96?
Bob Dole? He was the guy under
Darth Vadar’s helmet in all three Star
Wars movies. Phil Gramm? He likes
for everyone to believe he’s from Texas,
but he’s really from Georgia.
Bill Clinton? He reminds me of the
guy who volunteers to help you move
but shows up late and mysteriously
disappears when the sleeper sofa has
to go up to the third floor.
