The No. 14 Texas A&M Men’s Tennis Team
will resume conference play tonight at the
A&M Varsity Tennis Center with a 6 p.m.
match against the University of Colorado.
The Aggies (12-3, 4-0) will then cap off their
weekend with a road trip to Lawrence, Kan.,
Sunday to face No. 40 University of Kansas.
The Aggies are coming off a tough loss last
Sunday to No. 17 Pepperdine University in
Malibu, Calif. After sweeping all three dou
bles matches to win the doubles point, the
team fell apart, dropping five of six singles
matches.
The Aggies were scheduled to end their
Southern California swing with a match
Thesday against No. 1 UCLA, but rain caused
the cancellation of the match, sending A&M
home early. In tonight’s match the Aggies
will look to exact revenge on the unranked
Buffaloes. A&M traveled to Boulder last sea
son to take on Colorado and lost, 5-2. The de
feat was especially damaging to the Aggies,
as it gave them their second conference loss
and ended their hopes of winning the Big 12
regular season championship.
Leading the Aggies tonight will be the dou
bles tandem of sophomores Shuon Madden
and Dumitru Caradima. For the fourth con
secutive rankings period, the duo has been
ranked No. 1 in the nation. On Sunday, they
defeated the nation’s No. 11 doubles team,
Pepperdine’s Kelly Gullett and John Hui.
The Aggies have claimed the all-important
doubles point in 12 of their 15 matches, and
Sunday’s loss to the Waves was the Aggies’
first loss despite winning the doubles point.

NFL investigating Cowboys’ salary-cap deal
BY
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is
investigating complaints from oth
er teams that the Dallas Cowboys
may have violated the league’s
salary cap rules by locking up play
ers they have not yet signed.
League spokesperson Leslie
Hammond said Thursday the
league was looking into allegations
involving center Mark Stepnoski,
wide receiver Raghib Ismail and
linebacker Quentin Coryatt. She
had no further comment.
Last month, it was reported the
Cowboys had come to terms on mul
tiyear contracts with the three free
agents, but did not actually sign
them. The
New York
Times report
ed several
teams said
they recently
contacted
agents for the
three, but in each case was told the
player no longer was available.
Some of the teams said they
conducted their own investigations
and determined that an arrange
ment had been reached between
the Cowboys and the players.
At that point, according to The
Times, at least several of the teams
complained to the league. They
told NFL officials they believed the
Cowboys had reached verbal or
written agreements with the play
ers but had not signed them to a
contract to circumvent cap rules.
The league then began to ex
plore the situation, according to
team executives, union officials
and agents the newspaper did not
identify.
The league offers 3
ward for anyone win
proof that a team ha
cap rules.
If found guilty, 1
could lie fined million;
be barred, at least tem
using the playersinvo
At least two of 1I1
complained believe 1
may have hiddenaa
three players beaus
