Cowboys take first plane trip since fatal crash
By Doug Alden
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — One day after
an emotional win in Oklahoma
State’s first game since a plane
crash killed 10 people, the Cow
boys boarded a plane again.
All three planes carrying play
ers, coaches and staff arrived safe
ly Tuesday evening in Lincoln on
Oklahoma State’s first road trip
since the Jan. 27 crash that killed
two players and eight other mem
bers of the traveling party.
The team left Stillwater, Okla.,
late in the afternoon aboard three
corporate jets. The original plan
was to take two jets and a
Beechcraft King Air — the kind of
plane that crashed late last month
while returning from Colorado —
but coach Eddie Sutton said a
friend of the program came for
ward Tuesday and provided a
third jet.
The players who arrived on the
first two planes were ushered
away from waiting media at the
Lincoln Municipal Airport by Ok
lahoma State staff and not allowed
to talk.
“We just felt it would be better
this way,” said Tom Dirato, radio
and television coordinator for the
school.
“It just didn’t serve any purpose
to have to live this over and over
again,” he said. “We’re trying hard
to heal and every time this comes
back up, it sets us back a little.”
Sutton’s plane took off later than
planned because Cowboy forward
Andre Williams had car trouble
and was delayed in getting to the
airport. Players Victor Williams,
Fredrik Jonzen and Maurice Baker
also flew on Sutton’s plane.
Members of a support group
called the Spurs, who act as host
esses for the basketball program,
gave small gifts to the players as
they arrived at the Stillwater air
port. The players wore black
warm-up suits and were quiet as
they boarded the jets.
Reserve center Jack Marlow car
ried an Indian symbol called a
Dreamcatcher, a round hoop with
weavings and hanging feathers.
Another player, Jason Keep,
walked around the front end of the
first plane and looked the plane
over before getting on board.
The Spurs applauded Sutton as
he arrived with his wife, Patsy. He
shook hands with the pilot and co
pilot and got on board. A man and
a young woman prayed together
on the patio area where people can
watch the planes take off and ar
rive.
Sutton said he and athletic de
partment officials were still work
ing to secure larger charter planes
for remaining road games. Sutton
called the NBA on Monday, trying
to get access to one of the league’s
planes, but all of them were in use.
“The only one we could find
seats 127 passengers, and I didn’t
think we could take that many
people to Lincoln,” Sutton said.
On Tuesday, he called the presi
dent of Ozark Airlines, the compa
ny used by Missouri’s basketball
team.
“I gave them our dates, and he’s
going to see if there’s any way he
can help us out,” Sutton said.
The Cowboys played their first
game since the crash Monday
night, beating Missouri 69-66. Af
ter the game Sutton and his play
ers cried in celebration.
Nebraska coach Barry Collier ex
pected more emotions Wednesday.
“Every time the thought of their
team comes to mind I think of the
tragedy first. I can only imagine
what they’re going through,” Col
lier said.
Three days after the crash,
Williams said it would probably be
awhile before any of the players
wanted to get on a small plane. But
Sutton said Monday night that the
players opted to fly on the small
jets as opposed to taking a bus,
which he said he would have done
if they wished.
“They all thought that 55 min
utes (by plane) sounds better than
eight hours, so all of them were OK
with it,” he said.
Jonzen, whose roommate Nate
Fleming was among those killed,
said last week that the crash was
“a tragic accident” that shouldn’t
deter the team from continuing to
travel as it always has.
“Even though it’s going to be
tough right now to get on a plane,
you still have to remember acci
dents can happen any day,” he
said. “They can be in a car, in a
plane, whatever.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 7). Your partner
wants to take control, so there's a battle pend
ing. Don't worry, you'll both emerge stronger
and wiser. Opposites definitely attract in Feb
ruary. Heed a dear friend or sibling's advice in
April and play by old-fashioned rules in May.
Set long-term goals together in June and for
malize your agreement in August. By Novem
ber no obstacles can stop you. In December cel
ebrate your new status.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today is a 7—
Listen to a loved one who may oppose your
team strategy. The opposition is most likely
right. A surprising development will probably
convince you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— If you thought you were stubborn, you
ought to see who's hassling it out today. In fact,
you probably will. You might be just off to one
side of the argument. That's a good place to
stay. Don't offer advice unless they ask for it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 7—
Set priorities or you'll spend all day running
back and forth. Organize your list so you can be
mote efficient.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is a 5 —
Be careful if you're a wheeler-dealer. First you
have the advantage, then the other person does,
then you. Just remember what the other person
did before, and you can come out the winner.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 —
You're pretty confident, bin are you realistic or
just full of bravado? Ask yourself that question.
The other person's not swaggering quite as
much but could be a little smarter. Initially, any
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—Today is a 4 —
No one seems to know what you're supposed to
be doing at work. You might figure it out before
they do. Wait until they stop arguing; it's hard
for them to listen when they're hollering at each
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is an 8 —
You're looking pretty good. And you could be
quite useful. You're oral arbitrator, and
people nearby need on,. , tey may ask you to
intervene if their negotiations are breaking
down. Perhaps you could make a tactful sug
gestion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-No 21) — Today is a 5
—You're a great strategist, but first figure out
which side should win. A current battle can
help you achieve your objectives. First make up
your mind, then watch for your opportunity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is an 8 —You’re not one of the students or one
of the teachers. You're monitoring this class and
have nothing to lose. You already know most of
the answers, too. Be gentle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a 4 —Pay attention to where your money is go
ing. If anybody else is spending it, make sure
it's being spent wisely. The other person may
have the authority, but you have the common
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 7
— You'll need to use your imagination, your
creativity and also your wit. Take care, howev
er. If this is the same person you've argued with
before, an old trick might not work this time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4
— Stop and think before you act. What you do
now might be hard to undo later. An old carpen
ter’s motto says, "Measure three times and cut
once." There's a reason for that.
