team tennis championship
The Rice Owls lost All-Ameri
cans Zan Guerry and Mika Estep
to graduation and with them
peaaibly went the Owls’ complete
domination of the - Southwest
Conference tennis race for the
past four seasons.
It will at least bring tha Owls
down to earth and Aggie tennis
coach Omar Smith feels that It
will be at laagt a four-team
scramble for the cramp next year
with runnerup Southern Meth
odist, the University of TexsM at
Austin and the Aggies vying for
the crown with the Owls.
Rice does return All-American
freshman Harold Solomon for hte
sophomore season. Solomon also
has Jorge Bermon, Emilio
Montano and Gus Pelliti.
Smith points out that SMU
returns its top player Jon Gard
ner among three of its top four
from tost year’s squad and the
Longhorns have everybody back
including number one player
Avery Rush.
Smith feels his own club will
be strengthened with the compe
tition and some outstanding new
comers.
Heading tha newcomers are
ARM Consolidated state doubles
champions, Billy Hoover and
Jere Milto. Hoover recently
placed third in the Texas Junior
Davis Cup tournament
Smith has added Billy Wright
from Ecuador, who has outstand
ing. potential and Bobby Coch
from Erazil. Although from Bra
sil, Coch to an American and hte
brother. Bill, played for Coach
Smith and the Aggies in the
early 1060’s.
The Aggies will be minus two
of their top six players from
last year, Jon Ragland and Mike
Hickey, who have completed their
eligibility.
But coach Smith feels the new
comers plus the competition by a
tough group of returnees will
make the team stronger next
season.
Leading the returnees to the
number one player Dickie Fikea,
who teamed with Ragland for
second place in the Southwest
Conference doubles last year
Smith foresees s tight battle for
the number one spot with Fikes.
Senior Tommy Connell, junior
Lawton Park and sophomore Dan
Courson will lead that fight al
though several other players art
expected to be in the battle for
the top six spots on the team
• Among the leading players
back from last year are Carl
Jaedicke, Mike Mills, Jeff Cart
er, Mitch Barker, Bill Pecor,
Mitch Barker, Kermit Smith,
Dennis Hirachfield, Don Smith,
Bob Barnard and Doug Laukhuf
Former Aggie netter Richard
Barker has returned to help
Smith as an assistant coach this
season. Barker to a former SWC
doubles champion.
The Aggies have never won a
team championship and Coach
Omar Smith would like nothing
better than for this to be the
time. • .
