Wildcats prove anything possible
T his noble insti
tution we at
tend boasts a
student population
with origins all
across the globe —
quite possibly to
conceal the fact that
the majority of us
are standard-issue
Texans with necks varying in shades of red.
This being the case, most of us through hered
ity or by gunpoint, congregate into one of two dif
ferent sects of football worship. The first of these
denominations is filled with happy, semi-intelli
gent folk who cheer on the maroon and white
of Texas A&M and the blue and silver of the Dal
las Cowboys; the other is saturated with miser
able, sadomasochistic souls who prefer the Hous
ton Oilers as their professional supplement to
the Aggies.
Unfortunately, our natural pigskin preferences
as Texans hinder us at times from fully appreciat
ing the achievements of teams outside our state’s
borders. For this reason, I feel compelled to edu
cate and enlighten you with the recent successes of
the Northwestern Wildcats.
First of all, Northwestern University is located
a few miles north of Chicago in Evanston, Ill.
I tell you this because my idiot roommate be
lieved with great conviction that the institution,
known for its high academic standards, was locat
ed somewhere in North Dakota.
Though you may not have known where it was,
you’ve hopefully had a chance to become vaguely
familiar with the Northwestern football team.
You’ve probably seen them on ESPN and on the
covey of Sports Illustrated, but do you really know
why they deserve the recognition?
Take a look at what they’ve managed to pull off
this season.
In September, Northwestern shocked the coun
try by upsetting Notre Dame in South Bend. In
October, they beat Michigan at Ann Arbor and two
weeks ago they defeated Penn State at home, in
front of Wildcat fans who came dangerously dose
to a state of nirvana as Northwestern ascended to
No. 5 in the nation. Who can blame them?
Northwestern has historically maintained one
of the most pitiful football programs in the West
ern Hemisphere, comparable in gridiron tradition
with that of MIT and IBubba Ray’s Barber College,
Northwestern beating the above three is like
Jerry Cooney whipping Muhammad Ali, like Wiley
Coyote finally getting a hold of the Roadrunner.
So why are they suddenly good this season? Did
some wacko in the chemistry department come up
with a pill?
What’s propelled Northwestern away from its
doormat status is a combination of ingredients
that usually makes a good football team: a tough
defense; an experienced, smart quarterback; and a
solid offensive line.
The Wildcats also possess a bonafide stud in
sophomore running back Darnell Autry. A career-
high 226 yards in last Saturday’s 23-8 win over
Purdue gave Autry his 10th straight game over
100 yards this season. Is Autry a Heisman candi
date in 1996?
To say the Wildcats are just a bunch of hard
working, overachievers wouldn’t be totally true,
They’ve got some talent as well.
With the victory over Purdue, Northwestern
finished the season at 10-1 and 8-0 in Big Ten
play. The Wildcats, after completing their first 10
win season in school history, also have a shot at
the Rose Bowl but have to hope for Michigan to
beat No. 2 Ohio State this weekend.
With a win, the Buckeyes (11-0) would goto
Pasadena on the basis of a better overall record.
It’s more than a damn shame that Northwestern
and Ohio State can’t face each other to decide the
Big Ten championship outright.
The Wildcats will probably wind up in Orlando
on Jan. 1 playing in the Citrus Bowl against a
Southeastern Conference team — which ain’t ex
actly a bad gig for a bunch of guys who go to school
near the icy shores of Lake Michigan.
Now if they could only do something about
those nasty purple and black uniforms.

won by a pitcher.
Gibson won nine Gold Gloves
while pitching for the St. Louis
Cardinals.
There were four-first time win
ners this year: Florida Marlins
catcher
Charles John
son, San Diego
Padres first
baseman Ken
Caminiti, Los
Angeles
Dodgers out
fielder Raul
Mondesi and
Padres out
fielder Steve
Finley.
Atlanta
Braves out
fielder Marquis Grissom won his
third consecutive Gold Glove,
and Cubs first baseman Mark
Grace won for the third time in
four seasons.
Second baseman Craig Biggio,
who played for the Houston As
tros and became a free agent,
won his second straight award,
as did Cincinnati Reds shortstop
Barry Larkin.
The awards are voted on by
major league managers and coach
es and presented by Rawlings.
Greg Maddux and Randy John
son pitched shutouts Tuesday, be
coming the first unanimous picks
on The Associated Press All-Star
team since 1988.
Maddux and Johnson each got
66 votes in nationwide voting by
sports writers and broadcasters.
Maddux, who won his fourth
straight NL Gy Young Award last
week, was voted the top right-
handed pitcher. Johnson, who won
the AL Gy Young Award and took
Seattle to its first playoff berth,
was voted the top left-handed
pitcher.
Last year, Maddux was one
vote shy of becoming a unani
mous pick, missing out when one
voter selected Bret Saberhagen.
Before this year, the last unani
mous selection was Orel Her-
shiser at right-handed pitcher
after leading Los Angeles to the
World Series title.
Maddux, who led Atlanta to its
first World Series title, won for the
fourth straight year. Since the AP
began selecting one team in 1982,
the only other players to accom
plish that feat were outfielders
Kirby Puckett (1986-89) and Bar
ry Bonds (1990-93).
Los Angeles catcher Mike Pi
azza and Cleveland outfielder
Albert Belle were both one vote
short of unanimity. Piazza, Belle
and San Diego outfielder Tony
Gwynn were the only holdovers
from the 1994 team.
Boston’s Mo Vaughn won at
first base, Houston’s Craig Biggio
at second, Cincinnati’s Barry
Larkin at shortstop and Colorado’s
Vinny Castilla at third.
Dante Bichette of the Rockies
joined Belle and Gwynn in the
outfield, and Seattle’s Edgar Mar
tinez was elected at designated
hitter. Cleveland’s Jose Mesa was
voted the top relief pitcher, getting
all but two votes.
Piazza was picked for the third
consecutive year; Larkin (1990
and 1992) also was elected for the
third time, as was Gwynn (1984
and 1994).
The closest voting was at sec
ond base, where Biggio edged
Cleveland’s Carlos Baerga by
two votes.
Ten players received votes at
third base. Castilla got 19 votes,
10 ahead of the second-place fin
isher, Atlanta’s Chipper Jones.
Other than Piazza, the only
other player to get a vote at catch
er was Atlanta’s Chipper Jones.
Other than Mesa, the only other
votes at reliever were for Tom
Henke of St. Louis and Mark
Wohlers of the Braves.

wreck TCU,
Davis in rout
Andre who?
In what was supposed to be a
supreme battle of the two best
tailbacks in the Southwest Con
ference, the Texas A&M defense
made sure only one truly shined.
The “Wrecking Crew” held
Texas Christian superstar run
ner Andre Davis to -13 yards on
only six carries — the worst per
formance of the Horned Frog’s
life — as A&M swamped TCU,
63-7.
It was obvious luck was on
A&M’s side from the first play of
the game as wide receiver Dan
ny McCray caught a pass, hob
bled it, then caught it again
while lying flat on his back fora
29-yard gain. On the very next
play, senior quarterback Corey |
Pullig hit McCray again, this [
time for a 34-yard touchdown.
In his inclividual matchup
against Davis, junior tailback j
Leeland McPllroy made a mock- I
ery of TCU’s defense, carrying
the ball 12 times for 161 yards
and scoring six touchdowns.
McElroy’s big day was opened
up by an even bigger day by Pul
lig. The senior quarterback com
pleted l6-of-28 passes for 504
yards and three touchdowns. In
the fourth quarter, he threw a
meaningless interception that led
to TCU’s only score of the ball-
game.
A&M’s receiving corps contin
ued its magnificent season as su
perstar Danny McCray caught
eight passes for 281 yards and
three touchdowns, and seldom-
used tight end Hayward Clay
caught five passes for 138 yards.
Besides crushing Davis all
day, the Aggie defense offered lit
tle relief for TCU’s All-SWC quar
terback Max Knake. Knake was
sacked eight times — thrice by
linebacker Keith Mitchell — and
had eight passes broken up.
The No.2 Aggies now face just |
one game, the showdown with
the University of Texas on Dec. 2.
