. . . Atlanta outfielder Otis s
Nixon has played a major role C
in the Braves' pennant drive 1;
this season. Unfortunately, his tl
cocaine relapse may prove to
have a bigger impact on the \
team's title chances than his 1
.297 batting average and major L
league-leading 72 stolen bases. \
Most importantly, Nixon's tl
60-day suspension leaves the E
Braves without a true leadoff 0
hitter. Lonnie Smith, once a s
great leaaon man, no longer
possesses the necessary speed to i
be effective^ on the basepaths. r
Interestingly, Nixon also failed v
a drug test in July, but was not 2
disciplined by baseball Com- 5
missioner Fay Vincent because j
of "marginal results." s

Walsh recently remarked on c

By THE COACH
Leader of men
After week three, the boys and I
have decided to make things a
little more interesting. An additional
three games have been
q/IHpH fr\ thic cpHaHiiIp.
Now the meeting of the minds will
have a rigorous 15 game schedule
to choose from.
The results from this past week
varied from the amazing to the
ugly. In the latter, Teddy Lepp hit
the big money, going 10-2 to move
into second place. Gordon Mantler
remained steady and stays in first.
Dave Bowden also had an impressive
week at 8-4 and remained in a
tie for third with Rich Taylor who
lost his hold on second. Aaron
Sheinin and Tige Watts are still in
the hunt and tied for fourth at
24-14.
Watts, moving up in the ranks,

said, "just because I picked West
Virginia doesn't make me a
commie."
Editor-in-chief Chris Silvestri,
who comes in at third from the
bottom at a meager 22-14 doesn't
understand. "I guess its time to
start docking pay."
In last place, again, as usual, is
Brant "Pele" Long. Long, who is
only four games over .500, said, "I
feel like a one-legged man at a
butt-kicking contest."
This week an even tougher list
faces the boys. The Gamecocks are
one-point underdogs at home
against Virginia Tech, but everyone
(save Terry Chick) picked the
Cocks to prevail. Only Sheinin and
Chick were willing to go out on a
limb in support of the Georgia
Bulldogs on the road versus
Alabama.
Florida is a unanimous pick to

weeks,
parity
win in Syracuse, and Tennessee
swayed everyone's vote in their
game at home versus Mississippi
State. Watts stands alone as the
only picker to take Arizona State
in Los Angeles against Southern
Cal. Likewise, Penn State was a
unanimous choice to rebound and
defeat Brigham Young at home.
Lepp was the lone player to take
West Virginia on the road against
Maryland.
On the pro scene, only three
players dared to pick the Falcons
at home versus the Raiders. Watts
and Patrick Villegas are the only
ones to take the Vikings, and no
one thinks the Rams can beat the
49ers.
A lot of parity in this weeks
picks makes me as nervous as a
long tailed cat in a room lull 01
rocking Chairs.
