The annual feud etween the bitter rivals as varied in signifi- ance, depending on (tyou ask. For the Sooners (5-0, 1-0) and Longhorn faith- ,the yearly showdown at the Cotton Bowl marks the beginning of the college season, even though the teams have icn playing for almost two months. For the players, it’s undeniably the iggest game of the year. So much is at ie: national title hopes, the inside track in eBig 12 South standings and interstate bragging rights. And for Texas coach Mack Brown and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, it’s time to «w their annual game of chicken. Forthe second time in three years. Brown inds himself at the center of a quarterback controversy in Austin. Will he start junior face Mock, who has started every game for Texas (4-1, 1-0) this season? Or will he freshman backup Vince Young, who 1 the Longhorns to a 24-20 win over is State last week? NOTEBOOK Rob Phillips Much to Stoops’ dismay. Brown isn’t talking. He also won’t reveal the status of Young’s ankle, which was injured in the sec ond half against K-State. Brown did say both Mock and Young will play Saturday, which presents a tough task for Oklahoma’s vaunted defense. Mock and Young both have the ver satility to stay in the pocket and scramble. Meanwhile, Stoops, who is 4-1 against Texas since arriving at Oklahoma in 1998, has said this is his strongest Sooner team yet, and it appears to be peaking at the right time, having blown out Iowa State 53-7 last week. One concern for Stoops is the loss of sen ior linebacker Pasha Jackson, who sprained his right knee against the Cyclones. Texas leads the series, 55-37-5. Kickoff for Saturday’s game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on ABC. Power Shift in North The college football “experts” predicted a down year for the Big 12 North division this season, but they didn’t expect this. With the exception of division leader Nebraska (5-0, 1-0), the north is experienc ing a power shift. Former conference cellar- dweller Kansas (4-1, 1 -0) is in second place, thanks to the Jayhawks’ offensive explosion this season under second-year coach Mark Mangino. Perennial underachiever Missouri (4-1, 0-1) also has been a pleasant surprise, save for last week’s 35-14 loss to Kansas. Meanwhile, preseason national title con tender Kansas State (4-2, 0-1) and two-time reigning North division champ Colorado (2- 3, 0-1) have been utter disappointments. The Wildcats and Buffaloes have dealt with injuries to their starting quarterbacks and have dropped winnable games to Marshall and Baylor, respectively. Bears Get Redemption After a horrific summer mired by Patrick Dennehy’s murder and a scandal within its basketball program, Baylor had reason to celebrate last Saturday’s 42-30 upset win over Colorado, as well as the program’s first-ever 1-0 start in Big 12 conference play. The Bears, who have lost 37 of their last 38 conference games, scored five touch downs in just 17:15 to beat the defending division champs. While the school’s basketball program is in shambles, first-year coach Guy Morriss appears to have resuscitated the Bears on the football field. Baylor will attempt to make history - win back-to-back Big 12 games - against Texas A&M Saturday. L5 The Princeton Review Hviler Scorns, fivtrer S’c/wok ClassSize-8 GMAT Classes Starting Soon!

However, last year proved to be relatively suc- tessliil for North Texas as the Mean Green won their irstswim meet in the program’s history. Despite last year’s successes, the Mean Green lost nine letterwinners, and they have 13 fresh (sees that will be seeing college competition for lie first time. However, the Mean Green is not without their n set of veterans. All-Sun Belt conference junior swimmer Bethany Pipes and All-Sun Belt SPORTS IN BRIEF Conference sophomore swimmer Elizabeth Johnson return this year. “I expect A&M to be strong like they have been for a very long time,” said UNT coach Mona Nyheim-Canales. “I think we’ll hang on better than we did last time, but the main things with dual meets like this are to see how the team is going to look, and where our strengths and weaknesses are. From there, we can see what we need to focus on down the road.” The Aggies will need a good showing this week end, as they will head out to Ames. Iowa, next week for the Big 12 relays. Friday’s meet begins at 5 p.m. at the Texas A&M Natatorium. Volleyball Continued from page 1 B while holding it to a hitting per centage of just .047. The aver age hitting percentage for Tech was the second lowest the Aggies have allowed this year. “Our one and only (sweep) was against Centenary,” Jones said. “ We need to get back in the swing of getting momentum through the whole match.” SALOON BIGGEST DANCE FLOOR IN BRAZOS VALLEY THURSDAY.

No way. None,” Recht said. Documents containing details of the investigation have been sealed since Bryant’s arrest July 4, and everyone involved in the case has been silenced by a gag order.
