I didn’t go out and dominate games. Of course, I didn’t get complete games with the set-up we had.” Yankees set-up man Mariano Rivera earned the other first- place vote and finished third with 18 points. “All the talk was that I would def initely win,” Pettitte said. “I’m like, these people know something I don’t.... I was a little surprised.” The closest vote came in 1969, when Mike Cuellar and Denny McLain tied. In 1972, Gaylord Perry beat Wilbur Wood 64-58. Hentgen, who turns 28 Wednesday, led the majors in complete games (10) and innings (265 2-3), and was second in ERA behind teammate Juan Guzman (2.93). Hentgen pitched three shutouts, tying Hill and Kevin Brown of Florida for the major league lead. After going 8-6 with a 3.86 ERA before the All-Star break, he was 12- 4 with a 2.58 ERA in the second half. “Things just snowballed for me in the second half,” Hent gen said. “There was just a point where I knew I could go out and pitch a good game.” He won his 20th game on the final day of the season, leading Toronto over Baltimore 4-1 at SkyDome. He had a chance to win his 20th against Baltimore on the final weekend three years ago, but Toronto lost to Rick Sutcliffe 8-4. “I think when I look back at ’93 in Camden Yards, going for my 20th win, I was a little nervous,” Hentgen said. Pettitte, 24, led the AL in victo ries and went 13-3 after Yankees losses. He pitched for many months despite soreness in his throwing arm. “I didn’t even think I’d make it through the season if you asked me in the middle of the season when by elbow was killing me,” he said. Charles Nagy of Cleveland was fourth with 12 points, followed by Mike Mussina of Baltimore with five. Alex Fernandez and Roberto Hernandez of the White Sox were tied for sixth with one point along with Ken Hill of Texas. Hentgen, who made $2.25 mil lion, gets a $50,000 bonus for winning the award. flames for Packers game leading Packers come calling to a place where they have lost six consecutive games in just the last three years. Switzer made a shameless call for Dallas fans to get to the stadium early, get worked up, and give it to the Packers. “It’s a big show, a big stage for the NFL, and I want to use that as an advantage for us,” Switzer said. “I want the fans to get into it. I want the at mosphere to be like what we play against.” Asked if he had ever made such an appeal for crowd noise when he was at Oklahoma, Switzer laughed. “We didn’t need it when I was at Nor man,” he said. Although this will be the Cowboys’ 52nd con secutive home sellout, the Dallas fans aren’t not ed for the kind of rowdy behavior that makes a quarterback’s snap counts go unheard. Owner Jerry Jones also made a plea for the Dallas fans to get to the game early and rock the stadium. “I’d like to see our fans get there a couple hours early and get in the mood,” Jones said. “We want it to be a playoff atmosphere. ” The Packers have lost three consecutive play off games in Texas Stadium to Dallas and, by a quirk in the scheduling ,have lost to the Cowboys three consecutive years in the regular season. “I don’t think they like coming here,” Switzer said. “I think it bothers them.” The Cowboys will have two former Packers in the starting lineup. George Teague moves into the free safety spot because Brock Marion cracked a shoulder blade in the 20-17 over time win at San Francisco. Fred Strickland has been starting at middle linebacker all season. Dallas is expecting to get wide receiver Kevin Williams back for the game but Switzer said Deion Sanders is still the starter. purs-Jazz lushed back [until April 7 CBS names new sports president NEW YORK (AP) — CBS Sports’ new boss, Sean McManus, will make the NFL a priority when he takes over next month. He just won’t make it his only priority. On Tuesday, CBS officially an nounced McManus’ appointment as sports president, replacing the ousted David Kenin. “The contract was just finalized yesterday, and I’m thrilled by what, for me, is the opportunity of a life time,” said McManus, the son of ABC sportscaster Jim McKay. News of Kenin’s ouster broke last week as CBS moved to strengthen itself in the area of rights negotiations with Mc Manus, a top negotiator for Trans World International, the world’s largest producer and distributor of sports programming.

(AP) — The competition is mounting to build the Oilers’ practice complex when the NFL team moves to Nashville from Houston. In the upcoming weeks, Franklin Mayor Jerry Sharber will present to Oilers officials a study touting two sites. Franklin is 20 miles south of Nashville. The $22,000 study was conduct ed by Hellmuth, Obata & Kass- abaum, the Kansas City, Mo.-based company that designed the $290 million stadium where the Oilers will play when the team moves. Groundbreaking on the stadi um is scheduled for April or May of next year. Franklin officials may push for industrial revenue bonds, which would give the Oilers’ corporate sponsor low-interest financing to pay for the project. Football Continued from Page 7 This confidence seems to be jus tified, as the Aggies say their bad luck and ill- timed mistakes are behind them. They had no turnovers against Baylor. “We’ve been through the part (of the season) where you’re just hahging on, trying to fight through it, where there was enough bad going on that there was a multitude of other problems that could have erupted,” Slocum said. "We’ve come through all of that and we haven’t fallen apart — we haven’t gone in different directions. To be able to come through that and stay intact is gratifying to me.” Mitchell said the Aggies’ ability UNDERWATER C# SCUBA &ea- 2 for Learn to S What the course includes if; < • Tuition for Basfc; Open • PADI or NAUhjgpen • Log Book! • Entrance Fees @ BltieJLag 1 • Pool use fees! • Use of all Scuba Diving E< • All Air Fills!

Industrial revenue bonds typi cally are used to lure manufactur ing operations. However, Franklin can obtain that type of funding if the city proves the project will have a substantial economic im pact through new jobs, sales tax collections or other benefits. “We’re taking this one step at a time,” said Franklin City Adminis trator Jay Johnson. “We believe we can have a proposal with no direct involvement, but one in which the city simply serves as a conduit for the lower (financing) rates.” Team officials are still looking at locations other than Franklin for the complex, said Mike Mc Clure, Oilers vice president for administration. Hendersonville, 20 miles north of Nashville, is one location still under consideration. The stadium is not expected to be ready until the 1999 season. to play through missed opportu nities without getting flustered is a positive. “Bad times have been here, but I think they’re gone now,” Mitchell said. “We’ve been fo cusing on our opponents and taking care of business and fortunately getting the wins. Last game proved that we were struggling a little bit, but we took it as a four-quar ter deal. We just came back after the half, pulled together, the offense came through, the defense came through, and we won.” Saturday’s contest will mark the final home game for Mitchell and several other seniors. “It means a lot,” Mitchell said. “I’ve been thinking about it being my last home game. I want to go out in style, with a victory and a big game. It’ll be the perfect op portunity. We’ll have a packed house, and it’ll be a good team we’re playing against. And you just can’t beat that.” JLaLttle CSressrt TaMstn*!
