    Hi, hello and welcome fellow Cowboys ofthe Space variety to the latest 
edidition of your occasional reading.


              **** 'Boys Defense Non Existent in Loss ****

    Andy Krallman made his Space Cowboys debut last Tuesday night, but it 
wasn't enough to overcome the "incredulous" shooting of the "thugg e 
thuggs."  The 'boys fifty-one (51) percent shooting went for "nought" as 
they fell eighty-nine (89) to seventy-three (73) in their first loss of the 
Fall Season.
    The Cowboys defense seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the powerful 
offense of Go Ahead Beat It.  They scored at will nearly every time down the 
court.  Their main scoring threat dropped in approxamately thirty-five (35) 
points, while missing less thanb four  (4) shots on the night.  He was 
absolutely "fantabular".  Mr. Krallman, who assumed the tough asignment of 
guarding this unstopable 'thugg, commented after the loss that it did not 
matter how he guarded him, hhe endd up putting the ball through the hoop.
    The home team made sort of a "mini run" midway through the second period 
to closethe gap to six (6), but they would not get any closer than that adn 
the "thugg e. thuggs" easily put the game away.
    There were a fefw bright spots frothe Cowboyus though.  In his debut, 
Andy Krallman scored a game high twenty-one (21) points on ten (10) of 
sixteen (16) shooting.  A seemelingly qualitly aquisition for the home team. 
  Also, Jeremy Jeffries snapped out of a little funk by dropping in four (4) 
of six (6) three pointes for twelve (12) points.  James Boyer contributed 
twelve (12) points as well on five (5) of eleven (11) shooting.

               **** Next Game Tuesday October 29, 2002 ****

    The Space Cowboys will be in action again this Tuesday October 22 at 7 
P.M. at Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  This week the 'boys will be taking 
on the "thuggy thuggs" of the Cov Cats.  These two teams have met twice in 
the past.  On July 31 in this past Summer Season the 'boys defeated the 
'thuggs sixty-four (64) to fifty-three (53).  They met one other time in 
said Summer Season and came out victorious a little more convicingly, 
seventy-six (76) to forty-one (41).
    The Space Cowboys will be looking to avenge their first lossof the 
season last week and get back on the winning track.  In this shortened 
season losses must be few and far between to keep hopes alive for the Sports 
of All Sorts Tuesday Night Leauge Chammpionship.
    So ceo.m on out to the big arena by the highway as the Space Cowboys try 
to "claw" their way to their third vicotry of the season over the Cov Cats.  
That's tomorrow, Tuesday the 22 at 7 P.M.  Doors will open at 6:45 with 
pregame festivities followoing at 6:53.


                      **** Brinkman Making News ****

    It appears that the frequent member of the Space Cowboys and current 
member of the Louisville affiliate Earth Cowboys made a bit of a stir at a 
recent Halloween party.  This was supposed to be some sort of "costume 
party" for the kids down there at Bellarmine University.
   And his costume is apparently what caused such a rucus.  It was said to 
be the "talk of the town."  Kevin went to the party in question dressed in a 
nice outfit, something you could wear to church possibly, and he had a 
little ribbon around himself with a card.  On the card it was written, "To 
Women, From God."
    He was God's gift to women....in his own mind.


                         **** News and Notes ****
