The event marks the final eived preseasonieet of the year for the teams, witli tiofl idividual members striving for a art h at the national meet. ■The district championship is cm we qualify for our national fe|et,” A&M Head Coach Greg e said. “There are 35 teams that B|n the district and all of dnem are ■ble to bring teams and/or indi- ■ials to the competition.” in player of the Few of the 35 teams invited are J on Texas Bas-kely to have had as interesting a rst team all-stateear as the Aggies — who have goinf to make competed with a young team in its ict on our teair rst year of Big 12 competition, e is a versatile: Aside from youth, the Aggies ile the point orcave dealt with the suspensions it ion.

Right now, the men are ranked No. 10 in district. The women have just fallen out of the top 10, but I think we’ll make amends this weekend.” In addition to the team’s high expectations, several Aggie harri ers have opportunities to advance past the district level of competi tion to the national meet. They would follow in what has become an A&M tradition of late, as for mer Aggie cross country standout Matt Priest qualified for nationals the past two years. “From an individual stand point, I think Scott Lengefeld has an excellent chance to qualify,” Hinze said. “Jerry Snyder and Amy Stanberry have outside shots to qualify, depending on how they run. If we were to get Scott out, it would be the first time we’ve had someone qualify for nationals three times in a row.” The Aggie harriers are anxious to show that their last performance Rony Angkriwan, The Battalion The Aggies finished fourth in both the men's and women's divisions of the A&M Invitational Meet Oct. 12. at the Big 12 Championships was an aberration. The Aggie men and women finished a disappointing 10th and 12th, respectively, though they had to batde adverse weather conditions consisting of 20-degree weather and a north wind blowing at 20 mph. “We did not have a very good conference meet for a lot of rea sons," Hinze said. “All the schools from Texas who went up there did not run well. I think the weather had some thing to do with it, but we weren’t ready to compete and that’s my job. But I think we’ll be ready this weekend, and hopefully we can get back on the right track.” cami^Vilkins leads Spurs to victory double-overtime victory over the Houston Rockets the night before. Los Angeles forward Cedric Ceballos tore the patella tendon in his right knee when he landed awkwardly after a 2-on-l drive to the basket late in the fourth quar ter. He was taken off the court on a stretcher and the Lakers said he would be examined Thursday in Los Angeles. The Spurs played without in jured regulars David Robinson, Will Perdue, Vinny Del Negro, Charles Smith and Chuck Person. The victory snapped San Anto nio’s three-game losing streak. Williams traded to Indians SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Williams, one of baseball’s top sluggers, was traded Wednesday by the San Francisco Giants to the Cleveland Indians for infielders Jeff Kent and Jose Vizcaino and reliever Julian Tavarez. Williams had 247 homers in 10 years as the Giants’ third base- man, including 38 in the strike- shortened 1994 season. But he has missed large portions of the last two seasons with injuries. In Cleveland, he’ll be joining a team that ranked sixth in the ma jors last season with 218 homers but risks losing top slugger Albert Belle to free agency. The Indians have offered a long-term contract to Belle, but Cleveland general manager John Hart said if players and owners agree on a new contract that in cludes a luxury tax on salaries — a longshot — the Indians might be unable to re-sign Belle. “At any rate, we’re excited to have Matt Williams. We feel he will help us achieve our goal: to keep a championship contending ball- club,” Hart said. Williams missed the end of last season, when he hit .302 with 22 homers and 85 RBIs, after having surgery on his right shoulder. iTTFd HOWDY AGS! c=TFd C_D “Don’t Just Tell ‘Em, Let ‘Em See It For Themselves!’ 1997 Aggieland Wall Calendar L_J Nl MV 1 SAN ANTONI ° (AP) ~ Do ' 1^11.
