IOC releases
2004 Games
front-runners
Hurricanes blow into Aggielani
GENEVA (AP) — Rome, Athens
and Stockholm are the front-run
ners to hold the 2004 Olympics, ac
cording to a report by the Interna
tional Olympic Committee released
Thursday.
Cape Town, a sentimental fa
vorite for political reasons, was hurt
by its soaring crime rate and techni
cal inadequacies. Africa is the only
continent never to stage the
Olympics in the 100-year history of
the modern games.
Buenos Aires was the top con
tender in South America.
A record 11 cities are bidding for
the showcase event that will follow
the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The oth
er candidates are: Istanbul, Turkey;
Lille, France; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil;
San Juan, Puerto Rico; Seville, Spain;
and St. Petersburg, Russia.
The evaluation report was re
leased just two weeks before the
contenders are reduced to four or
five on March 7 by an IOC panel,
with final selection by the full IOC in
Lausanne, Switzerland, on Sept. 5.
The report said that all cities had
proved their capability of organizing
the games but some would need
more time than others to imple
ment their plans.
The top criterion, according to
the IOC is “the best conditions for
the best athletes of the world in en
vironmentally friendly venues.”
Rome’s bid was praised by the
IOC’s evaluation commission as
“excellently planned and prepared
in a professional manner.”
The majority of the sports would
be presented in three main Olympic
areas. Facilities for football, swim
ming tennis in particular were “ex
cellent,” it said.
Traffic was a problem in the city
and extensive infrastructure im
provements would have to be made
to accommodate the games.
Athens would boast an excellent
Olympic sports center just 15 min
utes from the Olympic village and
the Greek government had made
considerable efforts to improve the
serious pollution problems in the
city, the commission noted.
“The many cultural events and
the Olympic torch relay connecting
many historic and symbolic sites in
Greece, the birthplace of the
Olympic Games, would greatly en
hance the overall Olympic festival,”
it added.
In Stockholm, the design for the
main stadium, within walking dis
tance of the Olympic village, was
singled out for praise.
Facilities were excellent and the
high technological standards of the
city and the country were a bonus,
the report said.
Cape Town’s bid, billed as a
means of “unifying the South
African nation through sport,” was
diminished by its rowing and ca
noeing courses, potential security
problems, access difficulties and the
city’s crime rate.
“All levels of authority in the
country are aware of and concerned
about the serious crime situation
the country is facing,” the commis
sion said. Acting on plans to in
crease safety and security “will be a
challenge,” it said.
Cape Town may still hold an
outside chance on the political
front, something not addressed in
the purely technical assessment of
this report.
Buenos Aires could slip into the
top four or five as the best Latin
American contender.
The report praised “beautiful fa
cilities and surroundings” for the
equestrian events and good condi
tions in the soccer stadiums.
The cultural program providing
for a torch relay to pass through all
the countries in South America and
the Antarctica was also a strong
point, the commission said.

The Texas A&M Men’s Tennis
Team has had the opportunity to
bask in a two-week break, but that
will come to an end when the Uni
versity of Tulsa Hurricanes will
roar into town today at 1:30 for a
dual match at the Omar Smith
Tennis Center.
A&M Head Coach Tim Cass said
he looks at the unusually long break
optimistically and feels the netters
are prepared.
“Originally, when we evaluated
the long break we didn’t think it
would be bad and would offer us an
opportunity to gauge our problems
from our first two matches," Cass
said. “Well, the second match of this
season got rained out, and while we
have had plenty of time to work on
problems we saw, 1 just hope it has
n’t been too long. The guys are ready
and hungry for competition.”
The 34th-ranked Aggies (0-1) will
face off against a 46th-ranked Hur
ricanes squad of nationally recog
nized tennis players. The hurricanes
boast a top-three singles group with
a 17-1 collective record and a strong
lead player in Nenad Toroman, who
is 24-3 this year and is currently sit
ting on a seven-match win streak.
Assistant Coach Kel Lange said
the Aggies are going to rely not only
on veterans such as senior Robbie
Krause and junior Carlos Tori, but
also will be looking for so:
else to step up.
"They (Tulsa) have th
strong points as we do and
initely in the same
are,” Lange said. Theirtm
singles are obviously their
points, so Robbie and Cart
definitely step up and pi®
well, but somebodydownili
going to have to executebeti
we did in our first match.
Cass said executing ani;
up the win this time around
be easier for the Aggies
opening day jitters areoutofi
“Looking back to our
match, we went in there
to compete but nervousatd
time,” Cass said. “Now on
anxieties are over, and notvi
break we are excited rail
nervous. Although it mayt
sets to funnel all thaten
into positive output, once
will be able to execute an:
cessful against Tulsa.”
Lange said the Aggies:
today’s challenge.
"We have had a great
practice and we are ready:
pete,” Lange said. “It is go:
a great gauge for the guy:
where we stand and what
accomplished since oo
match. Every dual matchi
but this one here is absoln
ing to be a test.”

Lady Ags face first Big 12 oppone
By Lara L. Zuehlke
The Battalion
The No. 27 Texas A&M Women’s Tennis Team is hun
gry for its first Big 12 win, and it will have a chance to feed
its appetite when the University of Nebraska LadyCorn-
huskers comes to Omar Smith Tennis Center Saturday.
The Lady Aggies are coming off an 8-1 win over No. 28
Rice University, which puts them at 4-1 for the season.
Freshman Kathryn Scott said A&M played well
against the Owls, but the Lady Ags still need to work on
some areas of their game.
“I think we’re improving with every match,” Scott said.
“As far as net play, I thought we did really good against
Rice, but our serving and returning could be better.”
A&M Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the Lady
Aggies are entering a new realm as they begin con
ference play
“Starting out in the Big 12 is very important for us,”
Kleinecke said. “This is like the third part of our season,
with starting conference matches. There is a lot at stake
for us, because every match we play is going to be ex
tremely important.”
Kleinecke said conference play will be difficult be
cause of the new lineup of teams.
“The problem is that there are a lot of unknowns, be
cause we’ve never played over half of the conference,”
Kleinecke said.
Freshman Leslie Dees said the Lady Ags are ready to
face the Cornhuskers, but a quick start will be needed
to pull out the win.
“We’ve gained a lot of confidence after beating
Louisiana State University and Rice,” Dees said. "As a
team, we’d like to get a good start and come out strong
against Nebraska.”
Kleinecke said Saturday’s game, the first matchup
between the Lady Ags and the Huskers, will be a

tough win.
“They (Nebraska) are going to have a
heavy group,” Kleinecke said. “This is probablvf
team that they’ve had in years.”
Kleinecke said the game will come downtojP
team wants the win more.
“We’re going to have to be mentally in the®
Kleinecke said. “We’ll have to be as prepatt
fight as hard as we’ve had to in the lastfewnii
I think intensity-wise we are fine, but it’s
ter of continuing.”
Panthers steal Barrows from Oile
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The
Carolina Panthers’ linebacking
corps, which produced three Pro
Bowl players last season, got
younger and faster Thursday when
the NFC West champions signed
Micheal Barrow.
“We’re excited about having him
here, and we feel like we can utilize
his abilities in a lot of different
ways,” coach Dom Capers said of
Barrow, an unrestricted free agent
who spent his first four NFL seasons
with Houston.
The Panthers landed Barrow
with a five-year deal worth nearly
$ 19 million. The package includes a
signing bonus of $5.5 million.
“It wasn’t about money. It was
about the ability to win a ring,” said
Barrow, who added that his years with
the Oilers lacked the championship
atmosphere that prevailed in his col
lege days with the Miami Hurricanes.
“That was important to me,” he
said. “I wanted to get back in that
type of atmosphere.”
Barrow, 26, will become the
youngest member of a linebacking
corps that was a main ingredient in
the Panthers’ surprising second sea
son, which produced a 13-5 record,
a division title and an appearance in
the NFC championship game. Car
olina led the NFL in sacks, finished
second in points allowed and had
seven players named to the Pro
Bowl, including outside linebackers
Kevin Greene and Lamm Lathon and
inside linebacker Sam Mills.
The 6-foot-2,236-pound Barrow
will take an inside spot held in each
of Carolina’s first two seasons by
Carlton Bailey, who finished third
on the team this past year with 90
tackles. Barrow, known for his speed
and acceleration, will give the Pan
thers a boost over the relatively
slow-footed Bailey, 32, an unre
stricted free agent who has not been
offered a contract by the Panthers.
Chad Brown, a Pro Bowl line
backer for the Steelers, was the Pan
thers’ top priority, but he never
made it to Charlotte. Brown can
celed his visit with the Panthers to
sign a six-year, $24-milhon deal
with Seattle last Friday, the opening
day of the free-agent period.
Carolina then turned its atten
tion to Barrow, who last season was
second on the Oilers with 106 tack-
urtle
les and also had six sacks, a
recovery and four forced
“He had some important
erations that had to beaddi
Carolina general manager
lian said. “It was not an easy
took quite some time.”
Barrow was concerned ah

15-year-old brother, Keith,
Barrow arrived in Charloi
Monday and had originailypl
to leave Tuesday.
“From the beginning,
