Aggies continue spring practice
The Texas A&M football
team completed its sixth day of
spring football practice Tuesday
afternoon on the grass practice
fields. A crowd of about 40
spectators, as well as former
A&M outside linebacker Aaron
Wallace, were on hand to watch
the drills. Wallace played for the
Aggies from 1986-89.
More injuries
After practicing Monday in
cold, damp conditions a number
of players were forced to sit out
Tuesday's practice with pulled
muscles. The most notable addi
tions to A&M's walking
wounded were freshman tight
end Thomas Carriger, freshman
running back Derek Farmer and
receiver Terrence

Junior running back Joe

sat out.
A majori
ty of the
injuries came
as a result of
slick fields
and cold weather, said A&M
football head coach R.C.
Slocum.
“Just about all of those are
some form of muscle pulls,
Slocum said. “That cold weather
and rain and slipping around
does that.”
Walk-on tight
end Chad Mitchell
looked like the
lone casualty from
Tuesday’s prac
tice. Mitchell was
driven out in the
middle of practice
with an apparent
knee injury.

Spurrier tackles first practice with Redskin:

ASH BURN, Va. (AP) — Steve Spurrier
took the field in chilling fog and drizzle
Tuesday for his first practice as an NFL
coach. The Fun ’N Gun is definitely not in
Florida any more.
“Sort of like playing golf in Ireland,” said
Spurrier, who exchanged his trademark visor
for a black baseball cap because of the
weather.
The Washington Redskins’ three-day, non-
contact minicamp is a chance for the new
coach to get to know his players and learn the
feel of coaching in the big leagues, but the
first practices skipped the preamble and went
straight to Chapter One.
“We put in — gosh — more plays in one
meeting than I've ever seen in any offense”
quarterback Danny Wuerffel said. “1 was
thinking, 'How would these guys adjust to
this?’ You go to another team, and you'll
spend a week on three plays and you'll run
them over and over. We’ve got just about the
entire playbook in one meeting.”
At least Wuerffel was familiar with it all,
having won the Heisman Trophy playing for
Spurrier at Florida. Spurrier has signed other
former Gators — Jacquez Green, Reidel
Anthony and Chris Doering 1 — and it was not
hard to tell who understood what was happen
ing and who didn’t.
Receiver Rod Gardner completely misun
derstood an audible call and ran the wrong
route on the first play in the morning’s final
drill. Gardner heard what he did wrong from
both Green and Spurrier when he got back to
the huddle.
“There’s a lot of stuff,” said Spurrier, who
left Florida in January to sign a five-year, $25
million contract with the Redskins. “Yeah, I
sort of believe you give the players a whole
bunch of stuff so they don’t get bored.”
As expected. Spurrier spent his entire time
with the offense, leaving defensive coordina
tor Marvin Lewis in charge of the defense.
There were no tantrums or heavy lectures, just
a reminder to the players to have fun.
Wuerffel said Spurrier hasn’t changed
since the Florida days.
“Not really a lick,” Wuerffel said. “He’s
just a ball coach. That’s what he wants to be,

Toni Gordon,” Rive said. “But I think it will
be interesting to watch Fabrizio on
Wednesday, because 1 think how he
responds will be very important as to how
this match turns out.”
Also important for TCU will be the open
ing doubles competition. While the winner
of a majority of the three doubles matches
only earns one point toward the match total,
the Horned Frogs have won 30 consecutive
matches, dating back to the 2000 season
when winning the doubles point.

First-year Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier led his new team in practice for thet ^
time on Tuesday. Spurrier left the University of Florida to take the Redskins’ job last January
and that’s what he’s doing. He’s in there just
drawing plays up there on the board, and
we're learning them.”
About 50 players were on the field, but
depth was lacking at many positions. The
first-string guards were Alex Sulfsted and
Ross Tucker, who have just three games of
NFL experience between them. The team is
negotiating with free-agent guard Tony
Semple, who visited Redskin Park last week.

The Aggies struggled slightly in doubles
action this weekend after dropping one of the
three matches to UTSA and barely claiming
a tie-breaker on court three to win the point
against Tulsa in the evening match up.
However, the Aggies have claimed the
doubles point in all but two of their matches
this season and are anchored by the No. 26
doubles tandem of junior Ryan Newport and
freshman Lester Cook.
In singles action, the Aggies will turn to
No. 36 Newport and No. 88 senior Jarin
