THE BATTALION
At
I For senior All-American
Clara Ho and the rest of the
lexas A&M women’s swim-
n ing team, the early part of the
1)01 season has served as a
.rebuilding period. With 15 new
Swimmers added to the mix this
Kar, it is understandable that
the girls have struggled to a 2-4
ason start.
After being off for nearly two
feeks, the Aggies’ extended
hanksgiving break ends this
feekend as they travel to Virginia
for the Cavalier Invitational.
“We lost a lot of key people
last year, with graduating seniors
id people who didn’t return, so
at’s going to hurt us,” Ho said,
put, I think as the season goes
On. we’re definitely improving.”
I Despite dropping their last
lo competitions to Southern
Methodist University and the
Iniversity of Arkansas, respec-
|vely, many individual times
Ive been improving.
I “We’ve had a lot of season
bests,” Ho said. “We’ve been
improving every meet. We’d like
to see our record be better, but
the fact that we’re improving
every meet is a good sign.”
Against the University of
Arkansas, Ho led the Aggies just
as she has all season, placing
first in both the 100- and 200-
yard butterfly. Also, continuing
a stellar performance was diver,
Meghan Zack, who swept both
the 1- and 3-meter diving com
petitions. On the 3-meter board,
Zack is perfect during dual
meets this season.
Headlining the list of eight
universities this weekend is the
host school, the University of
Virginia, which is currently
ranked No. 12 in the nation.
Other competing schools
include Yale, William and Mary
and West Virginia.
While a win would be ideal
for the Aggies, their main con
cern is improving individual
times. “I hope that we have bet
ter season bests,” Ho said. “And
that we do better in our relays.
I’d like to see our relays get
ranked in the Top 25.”
STUART VILLANUEVA • THE BATTALION
Emily Semrau and the Texas A&M women’s swimming team will travel to Virginia to participate in the
Cavalier Invitational starting today. The meet will conclude on Saturday.
owboys’ Carter gets another chance at start
IRVING (AP) — Quincy Carter has
jeen \a wide-eyed rookie on the Dallas
[owboys’ sideline.
Carter was supposed to be on the field
1 season as the starting quarterback, but
;’s been watching instead of playing. A
Jiumb injury and tom left hamstring have
[mited him to just one quarter since the
iason opener almost three months ago.
“I’ve been able to learn a lot more just
jeing on the sidelines,” Carter said. “I
benefitted from just sitting back and
patching. The biggest change is just know-
jig what to see from defenses and where
everybody is supposed to be on the field.”
When the Cowboys (2-8) play Sunday
at Washington, Carter will get a chance to
show what he has learned as an observer.
“My cerebral game has improved,”
Carter said. “I’ll be more prepared this time.
I kind of just got thrown in there at first.”
Coach Dave Campo said Carter is
healthy and, barring another injury, will
start the final six games.
Carter initially became the starter
when Tony Banks was abruptly cut mid
way through training camp. There was
less than a month for Carter, the 53rd
player drafted last April, to adjust to his
new status before a season-opening 10-6
loss to Tarwpa Bay. Cowboys coaches
limited the game plan for his first start.
He missed the next two games after
injuring his throwing thumb in practice, and
then suffered the hamstring injury in the
first quarter of his return Oct. 7 at Oakland.
In 13 possessions in his two games.
Carter was 10-of-24 passing for 38 yards
with two interceptions, and he ran seven
times for 37 yards. The Cowboys scored
two field goals and had three turnovers.
Anthony Wright, Clint Stoerner and
Ryan Leaf have also started in Carter’s
absence, marking the first time the
Cowboys have ever used four starting
quarterbacks in the same season. Leaf
lost the last three games, his only starts.
“The communication I have with each
quarterback is different. It takes some
time to establish that,” said receiver Joey
Galloway. “With Quincy being a rookie
and him coming off injury, I don’t know
how much we’ll be able to throw at him
right away.”
The Redskins (5-5) have not lost since
their 9-7 loss at Dallas on Oct. 15,

■ SPORTS IN BRIEF 1
Archery squad
inks two for fall
Texas A&M Archery coach
Kathy Eissinger announced
Wednesday that the squad has
signed two archers to shoot for
the Aggies next fall.
Katelyn Kuchenrod, of
Armstrong, III., and Jessica
Sweeney of St. Albans, Vt.,

Owners extend
Selig’s contract
(AP) — Baseball owners extend
ed commissioner Bud Selig’s con
tract through 2006 but did not
take any action on the game’s
most debated issue — eliminating
two teams before next season.
Owners also were told by their
lawyers that the players’ associ
ation may file an unfair labor
practice charge with the
National Labor Relations Board.
Selig said baseball lost $500
million this year on revenue of
$3.5 billion.
He said 25 of the 30 teams
lost money this year, said $165
million was transferred this year
from the six teams with the
highest revenue to the six low
est, and said baseball will
release specifics Dec. 6.
