“Always the first day you put the

llocum said. “It was a fun day, and I

tice to have his nose stitched up.
Several Aggies had surgery in the off
season and have not yet practiced during
the spring.
Senior linebacker Roylin Bradley
had arthroscopic surgery on his knee,
sophomore offensive lineman Michael
Mahan had surgery on his shoulder and
sophomore tight end Michael de la Torre
had surgery on his back and is not ex
pected to practice in the spring;
The start of spring practice has also
meant position changes for some A&M
players.
Junior Lonnie Madison switched
from defensive line to tight end. Junior
Amon Simon moved from linebacker to
running back.
Redshirt freshman Ellison Collins,
who worked with the defensive backs
last year, will now see action at wide
receiver.
An old face has also rejoined the
team as place kicker Russell Bynum has
returned to the Aggies.
After sitting out last season, Bynum
received his medical clearance and prac
ticed for the first time on Wednesday.
Some A&M players will suit up this
season with different numbers than they
had last year.
Bradley will wear No. 3 instead of
No. 40. Simon moves from No. 52 to
No. 36. Madison switches from No. 97
to No. 85.
Freshman linebacker Jason LeDoux
will now wear No. 52. Sophomore wide
receiver Greg Porter will wear No. 44,
the same number he wears for the A&M
baseball team. Previously Porter wore
No. 85.
With the season more than five
months away, Slocum said spring prac
tice is more about looking at players
rather than trying to look at game plans.
“There’s a whole lot of things that
yoy do in the spring,” Slocum said.
“You’re trying to identify players and
guys who can help the team next year.
“You’re trying to identify who the
competitors are, who the team players
are and who the team leaders will be. It’s
also about tiying to improve the level of
performance daily.”

Doctors prescribe rest for Olajuwon
HOUSTON (AP) — Doctors are recommending Hous-
Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon not play basketball
. for several weeks because of respiratory problems that have
him.
“He is still having problems so we asked him to take some
p time off,” Dr. James Muntz, the Rockets’ team physician, said
Wednesday after Olajuwon visited him for a follow-up exam
ination of breathing difficulties that have hampered his play.
“We told him he would probably be out two to three weeks
and that’s getting toward the end of the season.”
Earlier this month, Olajuwon, 37, was diagnosed with a re-
ictive airway disease that restricts the flow of air through his
spjonchial passages during heavy exercise. The condition leaves
^nOlajuwon’s lungs in spasms. Medications prescribed to Ola-
pwon have not yet solved the problem.
The breathing problem has limited his playing time. Since
(was diagnosed March 1, the most he has played was one half
Hff 1 Sfagame, and that occurred only once.
For the season, however, he is averaging only 24 minutes
game. He missed seven weeks earlier in the season to recov
er from hernia surgery.
Muntz said the physical exertion required of an NBA play
er is at the heart of the problem.
“If he was not playing basketball, he would not even know
he has this condition,” Muntz said. “If he were working at the
bank or the news station, he would never know it. If he were
jogging with me, he would never know it.”
The physician said Olajuwon was agreeable to the hiatus.
“He would never say he couldn’t play,” Muntz added. “We
had to tell him.”
Olajuwon, the NBA’s all-time leader in blocked shots and
the Rockets’ leader in virtually every offensive category, has
said next season would be the last of his career. It also is the
last of his contract and worth $16.5 million.
Muntz would not speculate Wednesday on Olajuwon’s
prospects for next year. The Rockets have only about four
weeks remaining in their season.
“The best way to answer that is to say everyone in the or
ganization is concerned and just wants what is the best for Ha
keem,” he said. “We want to make sure that he is healthy.”
