AGGIE
BRIAN RUFF
The Texas A&M football
team will take on the Oklahoma
State Cowboys next Saturday at
Kyle Field. Kickoff is set for
11:30 p.m.
The Aggies are coming off a
28-20 victory over the Wyoming
Cowboys last Thursday night in
Laramie, Wyo.
The Farris-lead Aggie
offense attacked the Wyoming
defense, amassing 507 yards
and bringing up the team’s aver
age to 440.4 yards per game —
good for second place in the Big
12, behind Colorado.
Farris’ 297.5 yards per game
average also is good for second
in the conference, behind Texas
Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury.
Solid Sammy
Farris to the skies
The Texas A&M offense has
found continued success behind
the arm of junior quarterback
Mark Farris, who lit up the
Wyoming secondary Thursday
and racked up 341 yards.
Farris completed 30 of 42
passes, good for a 72 percent
passing efficiency. The 341 yards
was his career high, beating his
old mark against Baylor of 311
yards, set during the 2000 season.
Junior quarterback Sammy
Davis picked off another pass
against Wyoming, giving him
three for the season. The
Humble native intercepted two
passes in the Aggies’ opener
against McNeese State. His
three interceptions tie him for
the lead in the Big 12.
Colorado senior strong safety
Michael Lewis also has three
picks on the young season, but
the Buffaloes have played three
games to the A&M squad’s two.
Davis was a pre-season All-
American for the Aggie defense.

Baseball remains on hold after terrorist actions
HOUSTON (AP) — Barry Bonds was hitting
home runs at Enron Field Wednesday on a beautiful
day for baseball.
But there was no game and the homers did not add to
Bonds’ season total of 63 in his pursuit of the major
league home run record on a day when the talk was
more of terrorism than of baseball.
“If you could pull off hijacking four planes in one
day, I imagine you could bomb a stadium,” said Astros
first baseman Jeff Bagwell.
Instead of playing the second game of their sched
uled three-game series, the San Francisco Giants and
Houston Astros held workouts as baseball remained on
hold by terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Bonds, who needs seven home runs to tie Mark
McGwire’s record 70 homers, hit several towering homers,
including two beyond the upper deck in right-oenterfield.
He declined to talk after the workout but Giants
manager Dusty Baker recognized the threat of terror
ism at sports venues especially with a marquee player
like Bonds.
“There are always concerns, but you can’t live your
life in fear either,” Baker said. “You have to live your
life, and if someone wants to get you, they’ll get you.”
Baker does not like the idea of terrorism stopping
baseball.
“You hate to have something like this.” Baker said.
“It’s already stopped Wall Street, shut down the econo
my and put a little paranoia and fear in people.
“You hate to give them the satisfaction of shutting
everything down.”
