Page 8 THE BATTALION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1979 Netters win twice By MARK PATTERSON Battalion Sports Staff It was a busy weekend for Texas A&M tennis coach David Kent. Not only did his team take two matches, Friday defeating Southwest Texas and Saturday downing Southwest Louisiana, but his daughter took a husband Saturday morning, as well. In Friday’s match, the Aggies split their singles matches against Southwest Texas with Reid Freeman, Trey Schutz and Henrick Roller posting wins for the Aggies. Alberto Jimenez, playing in the number one singles match for the Aggies, lost to Gary Seymour 7-6, 6-4. Mike Moss and Max King also lost their singles matches for the Aggies. Moss was defeated by Artie Kuntz 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. King dropped a 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 match to Lee Davis of SWTSU. In doubles play the Aggies swept through SWTSU, with the teams of Jimenez-Freeman, Moss-Schutz and King-Roller all posting victories. With the sweep in the doubles matches the Aggies earned a 6-3 victory over the Bearcats of SWTSU. “Lm happy with what we did to day, but I think I’m going to change the line-up around a bit tomorrow,” Coach Kent said after the victory Friday. “We aren’t dominating teams like we should be.” For the contest against USL Saturday Kent switched Albert Jimenez into the No. 2 singles spot and elevated Freeman into the top position. Also, Max King was ele vated into the No. 3 singles spot, Schutz played No. 4 singles and Moss played in the No. 5 singles match. Roller remained in the No. 6 position. The changes were effective as the Aggies rolled over Southwest Louisiana 8-1. All three doubles teams posted victories and five of the six singles matches were won by Texas A&M. Freeman, playing No. 1, easily won his match over Steve Hernen- dez of USL 6-2, 6-1. “I played pretty well today,” Freeman said Saturday. “The weather (windy and cold) didn’t really bother me that much. The guy that I played (Hernendez) didn’t give me that much trouble. But he might not have been playing that well today.” Kent’s moving Jimenez down a slot proved efiective as the Colum bia native breezed through his sing- \Greatcst Game] SHIPLEY’S DONUT SHOP AFTER STUDYING, STOP IN FOR SOME FRESH DONUTS OR A FLAMEBURGER.

College 822-4096 les match over USL’s Gus Orellana 6-2, 6-1. “I wanted Reid to play No. 1 to take some of the pressure off of Al berto,” Coach Kent said. “Alberto had a really good fall, but he hasn’t been playing that well this spring. I think he’s a little homesick. And he’s been trying too hard. He wants to win so badly. “It’s nervous playing at No. 1. The audience watches you a little more and you have to go up against a little stronger to moved Reid up there because nothing seems to bother him.” Jimenez didn’t seem to mind the switch when asked after his victory Saturday. “I wanted to relax myself playing No. 2,” Jimenez said. “The last two weeks I’ve been under a lot of pres sure. I needed to get some confi dence. “I’ve been losing since I returned from Columbia. I’ve been thinking about back home and not concen trating enough about my game. But I played pretty -well today. I didn’t miss too many shots. “I don’t mind playing No. 2. In the Southwest Conference it really doesn’t matter which one you play at. At that spot, there’s not that much difference in the players. They’re all good.” In the longest singles match of af ternoon David Atkinson of USL downed Max King 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, the lone loss for the Aggies Saturday. “I just had a slow start,” King ex plained. “He started fast, was mov ing better and kept the ball in play. “He made some mistakes and lost his confidence for a while and I was able to catch up. But he didn’t lose it too long. I tied him at 3-3 in the third set, but he won the last three games for the match.” Jimenez and Freeman teamed Saturday to win the No. 1 doubles match 6-2, 6-4. The No. 2 doubles team, Moss and Schutz, took their match 6-4, 6-2. Jim Grubert and Roller, the No. 3 team, also posted a win for the Aggies, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. With the victories Friday and Saturday the Aggies extended their season record to 5-1. Their next competition will come Friday when the team travels to Corpus Christi to play in the Corpus Invitational Team Tourney. LOOKING FOR A SUMMER JOB?

Battalion photo by HuHie Collier Aggie notes United Press International Of the six teams that will continue the battle for the Southwest Confer ence tournament title this week, the one given the least chance to win is the one that has the least distance to travel. But it was about this time last year that the Houston Cougars sud denly began playing Superman and as long as the hometown fans are there to create a ruckus, coach Guy Lewis’ club cannot be overlooked. “No one is picking us, said Lewis, “but we re happy to get there.” The place Lewis and his Cougars were trying to get was the Summit Arena — just a few miles from the University of Houston campus — where sellout crowds will watch double headers on Thursday and Friday nights and the championship, game of the SWC’s post-season tournament Saturday evening. Houston reached the glamorous portion of the tourney with a hard- fought 74-67 victory over Southern Methodist Saturday. In addition the Baylor Bears and Texas Tech Red Raiders sailed into the tournament quarterfinals as ex pected, Baylor knocking off TCU, 104-78, and Texas Tech whipping Rice 82-49. Those three games were played on the home courts of the Cougars, Bears and Raiders and even they were officially part of the to®, nament, the first round erate little enthusiasm.

From staff and wire reports The recent unstable weather seems to be the major topic among spring sports enthusiasts and partic ipants alike. Saturday, the Texas A&M women’s track team braved the cold wind blowing down the backstretch of the Bryan High School track to run past Stephen F. Austin State University and Sam Houston State University in a trian gular meet. The Aggies completely domi nated their opponents by ac cumulating 107 points while S.F.A. and Sam Houston tied with 23 each. The women won 12 of 15 events placing first in all but the javelin, 220-yard dash and 100-yard dash. A familiar face with a new name led the Aggies once again. Linda Waltman, formerly Linda Cor nelius, won three events. The pen tathlon star won the long jump with a leap of 16-feet-six-and-a-half inches, the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 14.6 and the 880-yard dash in 2:26.6. The Aggies entered three mile relay teams for conditioning pur poses and placed first and fourth.(Only the top four finishers counted in the scoring). The team of Beverly Porter, Paula Williams, Julie White and Sandra Brown won the mile relay “by a mile” finishing 10 seconds ahead of the closest competitor, S.F.A., with a time of 4:16.6. The Aggies also got a good per formance from freshman discus thrower Vickilee Coburn. She won the event with a toss of 130-10. “I thought our girls did real well considering the weather today,” said Aggie coach David Williams. “The most important thing about a meet like this is getting the experi ence and conditioning for bigger meets. It gives our younger girls a chance to compete and see how they stand.” The Aggie women will run in the Southwest Parks and Recreation Meet in Fort Worth Saturday.

Aggie sprinter Curtis Dickey, who had competed Friday night in the national AAU indoor cham pionships in New York, watched the meet from the stands. Aggies’ track coach Charlie Thomas said Dickey was too tired from the travel to take part in Saturday’s meet. Dickey finished in a tie for fourth in the AAU meet. Derrett won the 100-meter dash in 10.5 and the 200 in 21.3. Bruce Gingrich of Rice was also a double winner, first winning the 1,500- meter run and coming back to take the 800 meters. Tim Scott was Texas A&M’s win ner, taking both the shot put and the discus.

The game, which NTSU won 75-72 in overtime, was marred by controversy. The Aggies led in the contest 63-62 with just seconds left in regulation time. Texas A&M’s Lisa Hughes was fouled and a tech nical foul was called against NTSU on the same play. However, the of ficials had determined that the Ag gies would not be allowed a free throw for the technical ford. Hughes made the first shot of a one-and-one opportunity but missed the second. The Eagles rebounded, took the ball down court and made a basket, tying the score at 64-64 and sending the game into overtime. After the game, Texas A&M coach Wanda Bender protested the fact that Texas A&M was not al lowed to shoot the technical foul, but officials said her protest was too late.
