McDonald (6-3) improved his career mark against Texas to 6-1 despite giving up five hits in the first two innings, escaping with only one run. The Brewers battered Rangers starter Ken Hill (7-6) for a career-high nine runs over 3 2-3 innings, inflating his ERA from 2.94 to 3.66. McDonald lasted 5 2-3 innings and allowed 12 hits and four runs, including a two-run homer by Rene Gonzales and an RBI sin gle by Ivan Rodriguez in the sixth that capped the scoring. Dave Nilsson added three RBIs for the Brewers, who have beaten the Rangers in three of the last five meetings.

Bissinger A legendary quarterback at perennially powerful Odessa Permian High School, Mike Winchell did just that. As his four school passing records indi cate, Winchell did not slack off. Despite his stellar play, however, Winchell was not of fered a single scholarship, and his aspiration to play major college football in Texas failed to materialize. Although Winchell’s story is a sad one, his dream is reminis cent of the desires of current football recruits across the na tion. Those desires captivate universities into spending mil lions on a yearly basis to up grade their stadiums, making Shane Elkins, The Battauon Natural grass covers the playing surface at Kyle Field for the first time in 26 years. The project was completed last month. sure they alone attract the best athletes. A&M is no exception. With the onset of the 1996 football season and the opening of the Big 12 Conference only 73 days away, advances are being made daily to improve the school’s football “barony.” A new grass playing surface at Kyle Field and a $3 million, state-of-the-art Diamond Vision Display System have been in stalled to help give A&M a boost in recruiting and fan en tertainment during games. The grass field, completed in late May, was the first in a number of changes and im provements being made within the athletic department to help advance the football program into the future. The field is mowed at least three times a week and is con tinually fed fertilizer. In addi tion, a new irrigation system should keep the grass safe from continuing drought condi tions. A&M’s use of pea gravel and a mixture of Irish peat moss and gravel for the root zone will help to drain Kyle Field in two to three hours when the field is irrigated. Following a new trend sweeping college football, the new playing surface was a move away from artificial turf. Al though considered “faster” than natural grass, turf has long been attributed to the shorten ing of athletes’ careers because of the ease of injuring and tear ing muscles and tendons in the lower body — especially run ning backs, receivers, and de fensive backs, who do a great amount of turning and cutting during play. In spite of this, though, A&M Athletic Trainer Mike Ricke said he believes it is unfair to make a judgement call on whether or not it is turf that usually causes injury. “AstroTurf has caused prob lems, but there are many other factors taken into consideration with athletic injuries,” Ricke said. “With some guys, injuries just happen. In other cases, if the player gets enough torque on the ACL while cut ting, then an injury is likely to occur no matter what sur face they are on.” Starting senior defensive back Donovan Greer missed most of last season due to a se rious knee injury that occurred while playing on artificial turf. “It’s hard to say if the per centage of knee and ankle in juries will drop when we move onto grass,” Ricke said. “We’ve been playing on grass since 1970, so it’s hard to compare since there are so many differ ences now from 26 years ago.” In another improvement be ing made to Kyle Field in time for the beginning of the 1996 season, A&M is taking the lead into the future with the addi tion of the new Diamond Vision Display System. At a Board of Regents meet ing on Friday, May 24, a li censing contract was awarded to GameDay Sports Program ming Network to install the system. The new 20-by-27-foot video screen, much like the ones at Texas Stadium and the Astrodome, is a Sony Jum- botron System. It will allow fans to see in stant replays and close-up views of the events that make game day at Kyle Field mem orable. A&M Athletic Director Wally Groff initiated the new screen project, which is included in Phase Three of a four-phase athletic facilities overhaul. “This new screen will bring A&M to the forefront of enter tainment and recruiting,” Groff said. “Not only in the Big 12, but across the nation as well." The system is quoted at a price of $3 million, but in the contract set up with Game Day A&M will break even in the process, eventually having the chance to make money from it. "For the first 10 years of use, all the money made in advertis ing with the screen will go to paying for the system," Groff said. "Any money after that will be a profit for A&M."
