Coach Charles Thomas will not
be seeking a victory this weekend as
he sends only a token squad to the
Southwestern Relays in Lafayette,
La.
“We re not going down there to
win the thing or else we’d be taking
the whole team,’’ said Thomas. The
remainder of the Aggie track team
will stay in College Station to work
on academic subjects or use the free
time to recuperate from injuries.
The Southwestern Relays is the
oldest track meet in the area, even
more ancient than the Texas Relays.
About a dozen college teams will be
present including Lamar Tech and
the University of Houston as the
only other Texas teams entered plus
the Bayou country schools of USL,
Tulane, McNeese State, Northeast
Louisiana and others. The meet is
also the site of one of the largest high
school meets in the region.
The meet primarily consisted of
relay events but the format has been
changed this year to that of a regular
track meet. Thomas is unsure if
team scores and points will be tal
leyed at the meet under the new
system.
Most schools just send a part of
their squads in order to get their
athletes extra competition in their
specialty or to experiment in
another event. This is basically what
Thomas has in mind.
A&M team captain, Doug
Brodhead, will be running in the
100- and 220-yard dashes for the
first time since his high school days
in the Lafayette area. It would be a
fitting homecoming if he won the
events as he was the 100 and 220
champ his senior year. The Ag high
jumpers failed to clear the opening
height of 6-7 at the Texas Relays so
Thomas will have them entered for
some added work. Gerald
D’Ambrosio will run the quarter as
he competes for the second week in
a row after coming off an injury.
Bruce Smith is entered in the
two-mile steeplechase and the
three-mile run. Danny Jones and
Kyle Heffner will compete in the
steeplechase along with Smith.
Manfred Kohrs and Charles Cottle
will also compete in the three mile.
Kohrs, Paul Goodman and Jacob
Yemme will run the mile for the
Aggies while Jim Brannen, Ron
McGonigle and Alan Nordheim
compete in the half mile. Along with
D’Ambrosio in the 440 will be Terry
Novak. Richard McGilvray will be
the only Aggie hurdler present.
The field events for A&M sees
David Peterek and Pat Ruehle in
the pole vault and Bill Newton and
Keith Bucy throwing the javelin.
Paul Miller will test his talents in
the long jump.
A&M will have no entrants in the
shot put, discus and triple jump.
Thomas will not have a sprint relay
quartet but may have a mile relay
team competing.
“It should be a real good meeb”
said Thomas. “I just hope the
weather will be favorable. Thomas
will be the only A&M coach at the
meet as his assistant, Ted Nelson, is
on a recruiting trip.
Updating the Aggies’ injury situa
tion, Thomas said sprinter Sam
Dierschke will be ready for next
week and has “been looking really
good in practice.’ Robert Harris is
coming along and will be ready to
compete again soon, he said. Hur
dler Scottie Jones is working out but
can’t hurdle yet as he can’t gethis
leg high enough. Thomas said Jones
was getting into good shape.
A&M travels to meet their rivals
on the Brazos next weekend as tfe
compete in a dual meet with (lie
Baylor Bears. Following that meet
the Aggies will prepare foroneof
the top meets in the nation, tit
Drake Relays.

Aggie netters have tough
weekend ahead of them
By NICK VOINIS
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie tennis team has a
tough task in store for this weekend
beginning with a dual match against
Lamar University today.
The Cardinals are sitting atop the
Southland Conference and will be a
tough team to beat according to
Coach Richard Barker.
Saturday the Southern Methodist
Mustangs invade College Station to
take on the hometown boys in a dual
Southwest Conference match.
SMU, the nation’s fourth best team,
is led by the SWC’s No. 1 singles
player, George Hardie.
“They have a tremendous team
with fantastic talent,” said Barker.
“We ll have to play extremely well
just to stay in the match with them.”
The Mustangs should contend
with Texas for the SWC crown.
They defeated the University of
Houston, a preseason pick earlier in
the campaign, 5-4. The Aggies
meanwhile, had a tougher time with
the Cougars, losing to them 8-1.
The Aggies haven’t played a
home match in almost a month, and
Barker is happy to be playing these
tough teams in Aggieland.
“The kids are looking forward to
playing them (SMU). It will be a
challenge and they know it will be
tough,” Barker said. “Were capable
of giving them a good match.”
Wednesday, the Aggies lost a
tough match to Texas 7-2. Barker
said he thought his players looked
good and he wasn’t disappointed
with the way they played. “We had
a bunch of close matches but didn’t
win them,” the coach said.
Texas’ Gary Flock defeated Aggie
Billy Hoover in the No. 1 singles
match, 6-3, 6-4. Hoover and
Charles Emley played in the No. 1
doubles match, losing to the
Longhorn’s Stewart Keller and
Graham, 6-2, 7-6.
“Were out of the SWC race as far
as the championship is concerned,
but we could have a say-so as to who
wins it,” Barker said.
Barker will be going with his
usual lineup of Bill Wright, Hoover,
Emley, Tom Courson, Mark Sil-
berman and John Kirwan. He said
some minor changes could occur if
some of the other players are hot.
The matches begin at 1:30.
Next week the team will travel to
Huntsville on Friday, to play Sam
Houston State, then return home to
take on Texas Christian Saturday.
Barnett leads Knicks
past Rockets, 106-96
NEW YORK (AP) — Aggressive
Jim Barnett came off the bench and
sparked a decisive second-quarter
spree and Walt Frazier scored 26
points, helping the New York
Knicks beat the Houston Rockets
106-96 Thursday night. It squared
their National Basketball Associa
tion playoff series at one victory
apiece.
The final game in the teams’
best-of-three Eastern Conference
opening-round series will be played
at Houston Saturday afternoon and
will be nationally televised.
The hard-driving Barnett was in
serted into the game in the second
period after teammate Earl Monroe
was tagged for a technical foul and
removed by Coach Red Holzman.
Calvin Murphy made the technical
for Houston, cutting New York’s
lead to 31-28.
Then in the next 6:09, the fast
breaking, accurate-shooting and
defense-minded Knicks outscored
the Rockets 20-6 for a commanding
51-34 bulge. Barnett began the
spurt with a driving layup and con
tributed nine points during the
stretch.
After that, the Rockets, 99-84
winners in the opening game at
Houston Tuesday night, never got
closer than the final margin.
Barnett finished with 15 points in
the well-balanced New York attack,
Monroe added 14, Harthorne
Wingo had 13 and Phil Jackson col
lected 12.
Rudy Tomjanovich led the Rock
ets with 22 points 16 in the second
half, and Murphy wound up with
20, only four over the last two
periods.

pass first tests
845-2226
Rookies Marvin Barnes and
Moses Malone have demonstrated
in the toughest kind of competition
in sports — the post-season playoffs
— that they have indeed come of
age as basketball pros.
“Now I feel as if I’m a seasoned
pro,” said Barnes after scoring 37
points, including 12 straight, as the
Spirits of St. Louis beat the New
York Nets 115-97 Wednesday
nights and evened the best-of-seven
American Basketball Association
series at 1-1.
“I’d say it’s fair to say he’s really
grown up in basketball in the past
couple of weaks, said Utah Coach
Tom Nissalk after Malone scored 30
points and grabbed a team-record
33 rebounds in giving the Stars a
122-108 victory over Denver and
cutting the Nuggets’ margin to 2-1
in another ABA playoft set.
Barnes and Malone return to ac
tion Friday night when New York is
at St. Louis and Denver is at Utah.
Barnes, the ABA Rookie of the
Year, credited experience and a
new attitude with making him “a
seasoned pro.”
There was a time when I was just
playing for myself, ” Barnes said. “A
little time and a little experience hi'
changed me. Now I’m playing for
the coach, the team, the owners,
the people in St. Louis and me.
Barnes had problems earlier in
the season when he jumped the
team, but that appears to have been
the “old” Marvin Barnes.
“I think he’ll be in a class soon
with Erving and McGinnis — and
that’s as good as there is,” St. Louis
Coach Bob MacKinnon said in com
paring the former Providence All-
American with superstars Julius
Erving of the Nets and George
McGinnis of the Stars.
The 20-year-old Malone has had
to overcome the lack of experience
and heavy pressure, both the result
of his coming directly into the ABA
from high school.
Wednesday’s performance was
the high point of a solid year for the
shy, 6-foot-ll center from Peters
burg, Va.
