"This is a natural cause of death," Edmund Donoghue, the county's chief medical examiner, said in a statement. Toxicology tests did show evidence of marijuana use, although it was probably weeks before and was not a factor in Kile's death, Donoghue said. Tests were negative on steroids, alcohol, cocaine and ephedrine, a substance com monly found in dietary sup plements banned by some sports. Will says Williams wanted cremation INVERNESS, Fla. (AP) - The family feud over Ted Williams' body deepened Tuesday when his will showed he wanted to be cremated, but the executor of his estate said the slugger later decided to be frozen. Williams, in his will filed and made public Tuesday, said he wanted his ashes scattered over the waters off the Florida Keys. But after he wrote his will, the Hall of Famer expressed a desire to have his body frozen, according to Albert Cassidy. "After the time of his will, Ted chose to have his body cryonically preserved," Cassidy said. Armstrong still favorite to tame mountains BORDEAUX, France (AP) — Is Lance Armstrong losing speed, or is he preparing another spectac ular assault on the Tour de France? The three-time champion used Tuesday’s rest day to recover from his first loss in a major individual time trial on the Tour since 1999, the year he first won the event. But if his form in this week’s mountain stages compares to that of recent years, Armstrong should cruise to a fourth straight title. “I have mixed feelings heading to the mountains,” Armstrong said. “The time trial was a disappoint ment, even though I’m satisfied to have gained time on the real climbers.” The opening mountain stage is a trek from Pau to La Mongie, high in the Pyrenees, on Thursday. The Texan placed second in Monday’s 32.24-mile race in Brittany, 11 seconds behind winner Santiago Botero of Colombia. Although he jumped to the No. 2 spot in the overall standings, Armstrong was 26 seconds behind overall leader Igor Gonzalez Galdeano of Spain after the stage. French rider Christophe Moreau said the loss to Botero showed Armstrong was weaker than before. “I found Armstrong less imperi al, less incisive and perhaps less crushing,” Moreau said. “He is strong, but he doesn’t crush.” Armstrong played down the importance of Gonzalez Galdeano’s advantage, which grew out of a crash by Armstrong last Saturday. “Last year we had 20 minutes to make up” heading into the mountains, Armstrong said. “It’s very different.” However, Armstrong was care ful in 2001 not to fall behind his big rival, Germany’s Jan Ullrich, before the mountains. Ullrich is missing from this edition because of injury, leaving Gonzalez Galdeano one of the few riders able to challenge Armstrong. “The first part of the Tour was very difficult,” Armstrong said. “There were lots of crashes, it went very fast, and there was lots of tension.” Whether Monday’s time-trial defeat was a minor setback or a sign that, at age 30, Armstrong is losing his grip on the Tour should become clear Thursday. Riders have another flat stage on Wednesday, a 91.1-mile stretch from Bazas to Pau at the foot of the Pyrenees. The next day, they face an exceptionally difficult climb up the Col d’Aubisque mountain pass, followed by another tough climb to La Mongie ski station. Armstrong traditionally soars in the first mountain stage. Last year, he opened a 2 1/2-minute lead over Ullrich by almost sprint ing up L’Alpe d’Huez. Thanks largely to his domina tion at altitude, Armstrong finished the race 6:44 ahead of Ullrich and 13:28 ahead of Gonzalez Galdeano. Bolero’s time-trial victory was his second over Armstrong in two months. He beat the Texan by 42 seconds at the Dauphine Libere in June, which Armstrong went on to win. The Colombian was named king of the mountains at the end of 2002 TOUR DE FRANCE On with the race The Tour de France continues with Lance Armstrong jumping to the No. 2 spot in the overall standings.

Hundreds of participants and five to ten thousand spectators are expected to turn out to see one of the highest rated recruits in A&M school history. Baytown Lee quarterback Drew Tate, who has been touted by Texas Football magazine as the best Texas high school quarterback of all time, promises to draw the Aggie faithful to the tourna ment in droves. Tate led Baytown Lee to the championship last year, and is look ing to repeat that performance this weekend. “It’s great to be playing in College Station since I will be there next fall,” Tate said. “I’m not going to take it any different than the past three years that we have played in the tournament. “Our goal is to win the title and I think everyone on our team believes we can do it. I am looking forward to coming back to College Station and I think there will be a lot of fans that come out and watch.” Dick Olin, Tate’s stepfather and head a It will be great playing in College Station since I will be there next fall. — Drew Tate A&M recruit and 7-on-7 participant football coach at Baytown Lee said that the event is an outstanding experience for the high school players and is hoping to get the chance to play on Kyle Field again in the championship game Saturday afternoon. “Last year was great when we played at Kyle Field for the state championship and Drew talked before the game. He said ‘Can you imagine what this place would be like if it was full?’ He got the chance to see it last fall and absolutely loved it. It was exciting to be part of the A&M tradi tion and to play on Kyle Field.” Tate announced earlier this summer that he will graduate from high school in December to enroll in classes at A&M and begin working out with the Aggies during spring practice, an announcement that has left Aggie fans starving to see See 7-oit-7 on page 4 NEW SHIPMENT OF LOOSE DIAMONDS!
