Fails
Continued from page 1
The full autopsy report wasn’t expected to be
released until Wednesday.
Dr. Samuel Z. Goldhaber, an associate professor
of medicine at the Harvard Medical School and the
founder of Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Thromboembolism Service in Boston, told the
Austin Arnerican-Statesman said any clotting that
would occur in the calf after the kind of knee sur
gery Fails had would be minor and “rarely would
they break off and go to the lungs.”
Like all freshman players at A&M, Fails was
given a complete physical before reporting for foot
ball practices Aug. 5.
Fails’ roommate, freshman tight end Patrick
Fleming, attended Colleyville Heritage High School
in the Grapevine-Col ley ville Independent School
District last year with Fails.
Fails played in four games this season before
undeigoing the surgery.
“He likely would have started for us next year.
and possibly would have been starting right now if
not for the knee surgery,” Slocum said.
Fails was voted Class 5A Defensive Player of the
Year by Associated Press Sports Editors last season.
He was a first-team All-State selection by the APSE
and the Texas Sports Writers Association.
Fails had been granted a medical redshirt.
Slocum said.
In his senior season. Fails registered 36 tackles
and five sacks and forced three fumbles. In limited
playing time this season. Fails was in on two tackles
against Louisiana Tech. He also played against
Baylor, Louisiana Tech and Virginia Tech.
In response, the University of Texas canceled its
Monday night hex rally, a gathering traditionally
held before the annual A&M-UT game that brings
down a fictional witches’curse on the A&M football
team. The rally was also cancelled after the 1999
Aggie Bonfire Collapse.
“Our hearts go out to the family and to the Texas
A&M staff and players,” UT head coach Mack
Brown said in a statement. “There is nothing any
body can say. We understand their pain.”

personnel who worked on simi
lar projects as part of their job,
he said. The stack was built in
the middle of the driving range
where irrigation pipes could
keep the fires from getting out
of hand.
The insurance concerns that
plague attempts to build Bonfire
on campus were not present at
the club, since the crew is cov
ered by workers’ compensation.
Goff said.
Cody Spivey, who led the
crew of builders, said it took
about a month to build the stack.
In the four to five weeks they
used to build it, the crew was
only able to work about five
hours per week.
Spivey said there were no
safety problems encountered
during construction.
“Every log is wired in three
different places,” he said.
Alph Wright, a resident of
Kingwood and a former student
from the Class of 1985, was
teaching his son Aggie wildcats
while the bonfire was burning.
Wright said Bonfire repre
sents more than just tradition, it
represents the desire to beat the
University of Texas.
“(It’s) not as good as the
original,” he said. “But it’ll do.”
Bostons Cardinal Law meets with
Voice of the Faithful reform group
BOSTON (AP) — Roman Catholics from the
lay reform group Voice of the Faithful met face-to-
face with Cardinal Bernard Law for the first time
Tuesday in an attempt to ease tensions that have
simmered for months between the two sides.
The cardinal, leader of the Boston
Archdiocese, “squarely told us he was concerned
about who we are and who we aspire to be,” said
Jim Post, Voice’s president.
Four leaders from the group, formed this year
by Catholics upset with the church’s failure to rid
the clergy of sexually abusive priests, met pri
vately with the cardinal at the chancery for more
than two hours.
Law twice told the Voice representatives that
he wished they had consulted with him before
forming their organization, said Bill Cadigan, vice
president of the group.
“We saw that there are areas that we agree on
and others that we don’t,” Cadigan said. “We did
n’t solve all of our problems in this meeting.”
Voice in the Faithful started in a suburban
parish early this year as the clerical sex abuse
crisis which has plagued the church in 2002
unfolded in Boston. Voice now counts 25,000
members worldwide.
The group’s critics say Voice of the Faithful is
using the abuse crisis to change church teachings.
But Voice leaders says they only want to help the
church become stronger, partly through greater
involvement of the laity.
Law and the group have had a contentious rela
tionship, with the cardinal refusing to accept its
donations and barring new chapters from meeting
on church property. Those were among the topics
of discussion Tuesday.
Donna Morrissey, a spokeswoman for the arch
diocese, said Law viewed the meeting as a chance
for the group to define its aims and how it viewed
its relationship to the church.
“While the emergence of new groups is a con
stant in the history of the church, a proper dis
cernment must always take place to insure their
compatibility with the faith, discipline and mis
sion of the church,” she said.
Morrissey would not detail what was said at
the meeting, which she described as “cordial,
respectful.”
She said Law, who initially refused requests to
meet with Voice leaders, was willing to see with
the group again.
Voice of the Faithful’s Compassion Fund has
raised about $56,000, and has appealed to Catholics
who feel disenfranchised by the sex scandals.
