Texas team
poisoned
in arena
By The Associated Press
Two Texas A&M assistant basketball
coaches were among
eight people treated in a hyper
baric oxygen chamber Sunday
for carbon monoxide poisoning.
They were overcome Saturday
night when an arena heater system
malfunctioned at Baylor's
Ferrell Center.
Aggies senior foward Anthony
Ware also was treated, but because
he suffered from a sinus
infection, doctors had to remove
him from the decompression
chamber after a short time, said
Dr. David Turner, who accompanied
the patients in the chamber
at Humana Hospital-Medical
City Dallas.
The patients' prognoses for
speedy recoveries were good,
doctors said.
The nine patients were expected
to be released Monday after
psychological and psychometric
testing and a night of
observation, said Humana
spokeswoman Ellen Lytle.
The Texas A&M team, game
officials and others were taken to
two hospitals in Waco, Texas,
Saturday night after being overcome
by fumes in the visitors'
locker room before their game
against Baylor. The arena was
eva?cuated and the game
postponed.
Seven people admitted to Hillcrest
Baptist Medical Center
were flown overnight to Humana
including Ware, A&M graduate
assistant John Pigatti, official
David Hall, Ferrell Center
worker Anthony Hazley and
A&M assistant sports information
director Colin Killian.
Also treated were a Baylor
student reporter covering the
game and a catering service employee
who was setting up a
press banquet when she was
afflicted.
Hillcrest treated between 40
and 50 people, nursing supervisor
Ann Gammcl said.
Assistant A&M coach Mitch
Buonaguro, Aggies freshman
guard Tony McGinnis and Ferrell
Center employee Vincent Young
were admitted for observation at
Providence Health Center in
Waco. Texas.
Buonaguro and Young were
transferred to Humana overnight.

Although the men's tennis tearr
has started the season battling at
injury bug while faced with a ri
gorous schedule, the squad i:
ranked first in the Southeas
region.
One player that has had a tougl
preseason is sophomore Johar
Sandbcrg. A fool injury limitec
Sandbcrg to participation in onl)
one tournament in the fall. He is
projected to be the team's
strongest singles player.
Sandbcrg teamed up with freshman
Jimmy Panagopoulos to caplure
the doubles title at the TarHeel
Fall Invitational. The two are
ranked 25lh in the nation. Sandbcrg
was also 1-1 in singles play.
Other injuries have plagued the
team as well. Freshman Ben Cook
missed all but one tournament in
the fall because of an ankle injury,
and a recurring back problem
caused sophomore Johan Wilg to
miss court action.
Junior Richard Lynch was sidelined
for the entire fall season.
Lynch spent the fall recovering

Shaquille O'Neal led the Tigers f

Injuries are not the only problems

their opponents received votes in
the poll.
To compound problems, USC A
has seven road dual-matches. Be
sides that rival from up north, USC
will travel to Alabama, Auburn, J
LSU, Mississippi State, Florida C
and Kentucky. Three of these road
matches will be against top-10
teams. LSU is ranked fourth, while
Florida and Kentucky are ranked
fifth and ninth, respectively.
