Page 10 • The Battalion Sports Tuesday • January 16,1996 Three-point shot worth scholarship cash Staff and Wire Reports Greg Londrie believes it is worth the price of admission to go to a Texas A&M basket ball game. Practice your three-point shoot ing, and maybe you will too. Londrie, a freshman business adminis tration major, sank a basket from the top of the key at G. Rollie White Coliseum dur ing halftime of the Lady Aggies’ game against Texas Tech Sunday night. It was worth $2,000. Londrie was the first winner of the 12th Man Foundation’s $1,000 3-point Scholar ship Shot. At every A&M home conference game this season, a name will be drawn pri or to halftime for a student in attendance to attempt a three-point shot. If the student is a member of the Student 12th Man Foundation, the scholarship is au tomatically doubled to $2,000. Registration for the contest will take place in the lobby of G. Rollie White Colise um prior to the opening tip of every home conference game. The only rule for the contest is that en trants must be currently enrolled Texas A&M students with valid student identifica tion cards. No Texas A&M athletic team members, employees of the A&M athletic de partments or the 12th Man Foundation or their immediate families are eligible. If no one wins the scholarship at a men’s game this season, a drawing will be conduct ed at the last men’s home conference basket ball game to award the scholarship. Since a scholarship was won Sunday dur ing a women’s game, there will not be a drawing at the end of the women’s season.

Pkwy #8 764-2003 Three ways to beat the high cost of college. 1. The Montgomery Cl Bill 2. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Mont gomery GI Bill can provide you with up to $6,920 for current college ex penses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here’s how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You’ll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you’ll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You’ll be paid over $105 a weekend to start. It’s worth thinking about.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers greeted the Dallas Cowboys’ initial bombast of Super Bowl braggadocio Mon day with smiles and snickers — and a warning. Their message to Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin was: Don’t take out a mortgage on that Super Bowl house just yet. The Cowboys began talking trash as soon as they beat Green Bay 38-27 Sunday in the NFC championship game, dismissing the Steelers as just another AFC pretender to a title won by the NFC for 11 consecutive seasons. “We’re not going to the Super Bowl, we’re going home,” Irvin said, after making two touch down catches. “It’s our house. Last year we just let somebody borrow it. “Now we’re going to go check it out, see if it’s dirty. We’re going home.’ ” “And you know what we’re go ing to do when we get there (the Super Bowl),” Deion Sanders said. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones also was in a talking mood, as if that were unusual. “Nothing against the Steel ers,” Jones said, “but we are the better team.” The Steelers, by contrast, talked respectfully of the Cow boys, but showed no outward trepidation in playing the team that will be making a record eighth Super Bowl appearance. “I don’t know if they’re in their home,” running back Erric Pegram said. “They have to earn that right.” “We don’t get caught up in all of that (talk),” receiver An dre Hastings said. “That’s why Michael says all that stuff, so (the media) will put it on TV. That’s the way it is, we’re en tertainers.” The Steelers have an envi able Super Bowl report card of their own: 4-0, with two victo ries over Dallas. But those 1970s-era games came when most of the current Steelers were in grade school. “This team won’t be intimi dated by anybody,” coach Bill Cowher said. “... The Cowboys are (confident), and they have every reason to be. They’ve backed up their talk in recent years. But, at the same time, we’ve played good football for the last three months, and we want to finish it off right. It’s like I told the team, people don’t remember the losing team.” The Steelers don’t have any trouble remembering the last time they played the Cowboys, a 26-9 loss last season in coach Bar ry Switzer’s Dallas debut. Emmitt Smith ran for 171 yards and a touchdown in Three Rivers Stadi um and the Blitzburgh defense didn’t make a sack. But that game was an afterthought Monday as the Steelers’ front office staff scurried about making its Su per Bowl plans, and the players ad mired a 500- pound cake that a bakery whipped up to celebrate their AFC championship. The cake was displayed prominently in the Steelers’ lobby, and Cowher play fully told several of his oversized linemen not to dare sample it. The Steelers also began learn ing just how few people, even outside of Dallas, consider them a legitimate threat to the Cow boys’ third Super Bowl champi onship in four seasons. The latest line: the Steelers are 11 1/2-12 point underdogs. “Twelve points? Already?” Pe gram said. “That’s just another challenge to us. The truth is, it’s the best team on game day that wins. It’s the Super Bowl, but it’s still a game.” It’s also a game that, for tAe first time in their five trips there, the Steelers aren’t favored to win. Still, they talked as if that would be to their advantage, as the nation focuses its attention again on Deion, Troy, Emmitt and the Jimmy Johnson-less Cowboys and basically ignores the Steelers. “We haven’t played our best game yet,” Cowher said."... If we ever put our best game together, it will be a show. We have one game left to do it.” Switzer Jordan has Bullets firing blanks in 116-109 win □ The All-Pro guard scored 46 points, his second consecutive 45+ point night. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Michael Jordan scored 19 of his 46 points in the fourth quarter as the Chicago Bulls won their eighth straight Mon day, 116-109 over the short- handed Wash ington Bullets. Chicago trailed after three quarters before rallying behind Jordan, who had his second straight 40- plus game. He scored 48 Satur day in Philadelphia. Scottie Pippen scored 27 points and Dennis Rodman had 15 rebounds for the Bulls, who improved to 31-3 with their 21st win in 22 games. The only other teams in NBA history to start 31-3 were the 1971-72 Los Ange les Lakers and the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers. The ’71-72 Lakers set a league record with 69 victories. Brent Price scored a career- high 30 for the Bullets, who dressed only 10 players because Chris Webber, Calbert Cheaney, Robert Pack and Mark Price were all sidelined with injuries. Gheorghe Muresan had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Bullets and Rasheed Wallace scored 17. Juwan Howard had 15 points but missed 13 of 17 field goal attempts. Jordan Leone Continued from page 9 “Just imagine it,” he would say, “The money. The endorsements. No school work to mess with. No maniac following me around all the time.” I remembered shrugging all of this off. You know how guys are, I just thought he was trying to make me jealous. Blinded by love, I didn’t see the obvious. I realize now that I should have done something. I should have tried drugs or gunpoint, anything to keep Leeland at A&M. I failed myself and my university. Needless to say, it took some time to get myself back together. However, I’m proud to say that I’m back on track toward mental health and ready to re-enter society. I have made one vow, though. As long as Leeland McElroy is alive and playing football, I’ll be near him. I’ve decided my love is some thing that can’t be thrown away. Not even by Leeland McElroy. You think Glenn Close was nuts in Fatal Attraction? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Editor’s note: Not all of the events mentioned in the previous col umn actually happened.
