(AP) — Vlade Divac had 19 points and 11 rebounds and Eddie Jones scored 13 of his 19 points in the third quarter Sunday as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the suddenly cold San Antonio Spurs 107-97. San Antonio's David Robinson had 40 points and 11 rebounds in a losing cause, the third time he's scored 40 or more points in a game this season. After being held to three points in the first half — all on foul shots — Jones came alive as the Lakers outscored the Spurs 29-23 in the third period to go ahead for good. After winning a franchise-record 17 straight games and going 16-0 in March, the Spurs have lost three of four.

Staff and Wire Reports With all the concern given last week to Dallas Baptist Universi ty’s vaunted hitting attack, who would have though the Patriots’ pitching would have given Texas A&M so much trouble? Such was the case Saturday at Olsen Field as DBU swept the Aggie Baseball Team in a double- header, 5-4 and 6-2. The two loss es dropped A&M to 25-13 on the year and gave A&M five losses in its last six games. In the first game, Aggie hit ters combined for 16 hits, but they also went a combined 4-of- 18 with runners in scoring posi tion. In all, A&M left 14 runners on base, compared to just two by the Patriots. DBU pitcher Aaron Lineweaver played with fire all afternoon, giving up 16 hits in eight and two-thirds innings pitched, somehow giving up only four earned runs while improving to 8-1 on the year. Texas A&M sophomore Shane King pitched exceptionally well for the Aggies, going the distance while giving up just six hits and only two earned runs, but he eventually took the loss to drop to 5-2 in 1996. The one bright spot in the first game was the performance of A&M freshman designated hitter Jason Tyner. Tyner went 5-for-5 at the plate, one hit shy of the Texas A&M school record set by Mike Hickey in 1991 against Westmont. Tyner also recorded his team leading 26th stolen base of the year, putting him within range of the all-time Aggie record. With 16 games plus the poten tial for action in the Southwest Conference tournament, Tyner is 10 steals away from Chuck Knoblauch’s single-season steal mark of 36 set in 1989. Tyner al ready owns the Aggie freshman record for steals, and with one more steal will tie Billy Harlan’s 1993 mark of 27 bases — the third most in Aggie history. The second game was an error- filled mess that proved how bad A&M’s luck was. Although Dallas Baptist recorded seven of the game’s 10 errors. Patriot pitcher Scott Mullen continually worked his way out of trouble while going the distance to improve to 6-0 on the season. Mullen gave up just five hits while striking out eight batters to outduel A&M’s John Sneed, who went seven innings, giving up four earned runs while striking out eight. In the second game, the Patri ots scored two runs in the top of the first, and kept the Aggies from ever leading during the dou bleheader. The Aggies closed within 2-1 with a run in the bottom of the second, but Dallas Baptists pro ceeded to score three runs over the next three innings to estab lish a 5-1 lead going to the final three innings. The Aggies got as close as 5-2 in the bottom of the seventh but were blanked over the final two innings in front of a disappointed crowd of 1,486. Friday’s game against Dallas Baptist was cancelled because of inclimate weather. The Aggies will attempt to break their slump and a two- game home losing streak Tues day when they host Southwest Texas State in a doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m. at Olsen Field.

Staff and Wire Reports The Texas A&M Softball Team found out what it was like to play Big 12 competition this weekend. It’s not very fun. The Big 12-leading Oklahoma Sooners used dominating pitch ing to sweep the Lady Aggies in a doubleheader in Norman, 4-2 and 6-2. The usually-productive Aggie offense managed only nine hits in the two games ass Sooner pitchers Jill Most and Jennifer Jaime pitched back-to-back com plete games against A&M. The Lady Aggies hung tough against Oklahoma in the first game, and took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning on an RBI single by Kami Tucker and an error by OU second baseman Brenda Rogers. Perhaps something in the Lady Aggies’ attack spurred the Sooners, for in the bottom of the inning, they started their own rally. By the time it was over, Texas A&M starter Trina Solse- See Softball, Page 8 Say it ain’t so, Too Tall... Athletes hit the big screen On Saturday night, I fell vic tim of insomnia around 3 a.m. and found myself on the couch watching quite simply the worst science fiction movie ever made. It was called Hologram Man and combined the worst aspects of Demolition Man (yes, I know there were quite a few to chose from) and Lawnmower Man (see Demolition Man). One of the bad guys in the movie intrigued me to watch on, because I couldn’t quite place a name with his face. Finally, as the credits rolled, it hit me. The role of “Cyclops,” a virtual gansta if there ever was one, was played by Ed Jones, as in former Dallas Cowboy megastar “Too Tall” Jones. Oh, Too Tall, did you learn nothing during your little profes sional boxing stint? Jones’ debacle on Cinemax made me ponder why so many people are bitten with the acting bug just because they happen to be quite large in another field. Certainly Jones is not the first professional athlete to try his hand in front of the camera, but so many have done such a better job. What? You’d like a top 10 list to help you gain further insight onto my theory? Well, all right. 10.Well, I could only think of nine, so Too Tall Jones in Holo gram Man gets it by default. But, read on!
