THE battalion FINEST IN A&M HISTORY
Net Team Was Omar’s Pridi
SWC TENNIS DOUBLES CHAMPIONS AND COACH
. . . Richard Barker, Luis Rojas and Omar Smith.
BY LANI PRESSWOOD
Asst. Sports Editor
The 1964 A&M University ten
nis team was in all probability the
finest in the school’s history.
The evidence to back up this
statement is plentiful, according to
Coach Omar Smith, who says of
his young crew, “Each one of these
boys improved greatly during the
season. They really exceeded my
expectations.”
And indeed, at the year’s start,
who would have thought that this
inexperienced squad would: (1)
finish the season in second place
in the Southwest Conference; (2)
compile a 15-4 season record; and
(3) furnish the SWC doubles
champions.
Each of these feats was a his
toric one, as none had ever before

Despite all that, and all that, the
money keeps trickling in for the
Champ Fund, tike the last dribble
of water in a West Texas creek.
Most of it’s coming from former
students, of course. The most glad
ly received contribution to date,
and one in traditional Aggie spirit,
came into the Batt Cave Tuesday.
It was not too large a donation,
but it had something more than
dollars behind it. The money was
collected from a group of Aggies
on Muster Day a few weeks ago
by the Central Rhine Valley A&M
Club, at Wiesbaden, Germany . . .
The Champ contribution is certain
ly appreciated, but it looks like the
Rhine Valley A&M Club hasn’t
heard the bad news . . .
Aggie quartermiler Ted Nelson,
holder of the Southwest Confer
ence 440-yard dash standard after
a brilliant 46.6 in the conference
meet Saturday in Lubbock, was a
little surprised about his time in
the initial 220-yards of the race.
Nelson blazed around the first
turn and halfway down the back-
stretch in 21 seconds flat. The
time matched the record John Rod
erick of Southern Methodist set in
the open 220. “I thought it was a
little fast,” Nelson said. “I usually
like to run about a 22 second first
half.” . . . SMU’s retiring cinder
coach McAdoo Keaton thought
Ted’s time was a little too swift,
too. “If Nelson had run about 22.3
for the first 220, he would have
had a low 45 second quarter,” the
white haired track mentor of 41
years said . . . When A&M’s cham
pion shot putter Randy Matson,
holder of the SWC shot record of
63-5 ^ set Saturday, heard that
world record holder Dallas Long
heaved the iron ball to another
globe standard of 66-7%, he ap
peared unconcerned (outwardly).
“Pretty good toss, isn’t it” the big
freshman said . . . Randy said one
of the reasons he came down from
his previous best shot efforts at
the SWC meet in Lubbock was the
ring was slippery and he was com
ing across with too big a step, and
the sand was getting in his contact
lens . . . Matson also stated, “I
wasn’t as nervous for this meet as
I had been in some of the others”
. . . Randy will have the chance
this week as he meets Long in the
Coliseum Relays in Los Angeles.
“I’ll probably be too nervous then,”
the big Aggie quipped . . .

mer. The big lineman from West
will be in the All-America Bowl

All-Star game in Chicago against

(Monk) Meeks, equipment mana
ger for the Aggies, has many phil
osophical phrases, one of which is:
“Everybody brings happiness—
some by coming, some by leaving.”
Fish Nine Blanked
By UT In Finale
The Texas Shorthorns pounded
eleven hits in a 4-0 shutout of the
Aggie Fish baseballers in the sea
son finale for both teams at Travis
Park Thursday afternoon.
Starter Minton White picked up
the win for the Yearlings, while
Tommy Chiles absorbed the loss.
The Fish collected six hits, with
Mike Arrington and Jeff Warren
each picking up two.
The Fish ended the season with
6-6 record.

been achieved by a previous A&M
net team.
In reviewing the season, Coach
Smith points to the Trinity Uni
versity match early in the season.
“After getting shut out in that
match, the boys became more de
termined and started to jell.
“We probably hit our peak this
year against Pan American.
They’ve won the NAIA title the
last four years and have one of
the top clubs in the nation. Our
most enjoyable victory of the year
was over Texas, a school A&M had
never defeated before in a dual
match.”
“Our first conference match was
with Rice and we caught them on
a day when they could do no
wrong. We lost that one, 5-1. Aft
er that, we won our last eight
matches, taking 45 out of a possi
ble 48 individual matches.”
A&M’s final conference record
was 29-7, which trailed only the
32-4 reading of Rice. The Aggies
gained sweet revenge in Lubbock

What about next year’s chances ?
“It should be another battle be

clared Coach Smith. “We have ev
erybody coming back, and each boy
will have had an added year of
experience. But Rice only 1«2|
