A three-round total of 244 placed sophomore Clay Fullick 90th in the tournament, following rounds of 84, 82 and 78. The Palmetto Dunes tourna ment marked the end of an incon sistent fall season for the Aggies. A&M struggled with 18th and 12th place finishes in their first two tournaments, but bounced back with strong showings at the Red River Classic, placing 10th amongst a strong field and 9th at the Baylor Intercollegiate two weeks later. Palmer, fol lowing a summer in which he com peted in the U.S. Open, led the Ag gies in scoring palmer average with a 73.21 and had a team-best eighth- place finish at the Windon Memo rial Classic in early October. Cronin showed his talent, fin ishing second on the team with a 74.55 scoring average, and led the Aggies at the Red River Classic with a 25th-place finish. Cronin, along with Palmer, shot a team-best 4-under-par 68 at the event. The surprise of the fall season was the play of true freshman Sean Gilliland. The Killeen native finished third on the team with a 76.00 scoring average competing in four of the five fall events, including a top 25 performance at the Baylor Intercollegiate. Junior Lee Reed finished with a 76.72, placing him fourth on the team in scoring average. Reed struggled late in the season with final rounds of 79 at the Red River Classic and Baylor Intercollegiate. Rounding out the top-five scoring leaders for the Aggies was Welch who posted a 77.36 over 11 rounds. see Golf on Page 12. mm: mjDCCK <x ornct 5 ^ . . 1 845-1234 or on the net! http://boxoffice.tamu.eciu (k C»H Jo atxmtge J‘(sr sjwsoiai itced-,' Apgu-ttuckf accepted On sale this week at the MSC Rudder Box Office • Aggie Encores—• The Giiette Brothers Thurs., Nov 12, 7:30 p.m. •ik msc Film Society — Dancer, Texas Pop. 81 Fri, Nov 13.7 mid 9:30 p.m. • Class of 2000 — Class of 2002 Fish Ball Fri., Nov 13, 8 p.m. • Omega Psi Phi — Apollo Night Sat., Nov 14, 7 p.m. • Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra —Journey to the Old World Sat., Nov 14, 8 p.m. ❖ msc opas — Nigel Kenndey Sun.,Nov 15,8 p.m. »».

Kansas State Univer sity quarterback and Heisman candidate Michael Bishop went to Blinn College where he won two consecutive junior-college national championships. Wildcats linebacker and Butkus semifinal ist Jeff Kelly hails from LaGrange, Texas. University of Nebraska safety Clint Finley posted his first two interceptions of the season against Iowa State University after an injury- plagued first half for the Cuero, Texas, native. NU also claimed placekicker Kris Brown from Southlake, Texas, and cornerback Joe Walker from Arlington. Blowin’ in the Winbush University of Kansas running back David Winbush has been a breath of fresh air for coach Terry Allen this season. After single-handedly carrying the Jay- hawks to victory against the University of Colorado with more than 200 yards rushing, Winbush posted his second triple-digit per formance of the year by running through the University of North Texas defense for 131 yards in a 23-14 victory. Winbush needs only 94 yards in KU’s final game against Iowa State to eclipse the 1,000- yard mark for the season.. Best back this side of Barry The magic number is 204. That is how many yards UT’s Williams needs to pass Tony Dorsett’s NCAA Division IA career rushing record. Texas faces Texas Tech University and A&M, two tough rushing defenses. Other Williams records (or soon-to-be records): • Williams’ two touchdowns against Okla homa State University marked his 21st game with two or more touchdowns. It broke the NCAA record set by Anthony Thompson. see Big 12 on Page 12. Tell your Friends Donating Plasma, you sit back in a lounge chair & read, study, talk or dream in a place filled with friends.
