Barker recently wound up a very
Iccessful recruiting campaign in
nidi he signed some of the out-
pranding talents from Texas,
m&tatva, and Mexico. This sinn
er the Barker inked the Louisiana
ite champ, Robin Baker, of Cap-
in Shreve High in Shreveport;
gh school standout Mike Moss, of
Houston Westchester; and Roger
Pier, of Tampico, Mexico.
Barker expects the new freshmen
to blend in well with the older
members of the squad and he feels,
“They’ve got a good chance of mak
ing the top six.” Barker goes on to
explain, “These new kids have a
whole lot of potential and they’re
very well drilled on the fundamen
tals.”
The Aggies are looking for ex
perience to come from outstanding
juniors Charles Emley, of San An
tonio; Tom Courson, of El Paso;
Mark Silberman, of Odessa; and
John Kirwan, of Midland. Coach
Barker also expects sophomores
Mark Parker, of Galesburg, Illinois;
and EdTeran, of Quito, Ecuador; to
provide good experience.
Reacting to the question of how
he felt the new NCAA rule cutting
the number of scholarships availa
ble fr om eight to five, would affect
the team, Barker stated, “I person
ally don’t feel the new rule will hurt
the schools so much as it will the

kids. If all the schools in the NCAA
follow the new limitations, then ev
erything will be all right from the
school’s standpoint. It’s the kids
who are not able to receive a scho
larship who will be hurt by the new
rule. And I think you will see a lot
more kids trying out for the tennis
team because of this rule. ”
When asked who he felt would be
coming to the front in singles and
doubles. Barker explained, “Right
now Emley and Courson stand as
our top two singles players (replac
ing departed Bill Hoover and Bill
Wright) and we re looking for some
one to team with Charles Emley as
our number one Doubles Team.”
In comparing this year’s netters
to last year’s squad (which finished
fifth in the Southwest Conference),
Barker stated, “We ll he a lot
younger and not as experienced as
last year. It will be hard to find im
mediate replacements for those who
graduated, but we feel our young
players have lots of potential and,
after some experience, will be able
to step forward and give us lots of
help.
The Aggies face some very for
midable foes on this year’s
schedule, including Trinity Univer
sity of San Antonio, which ranked
third in the NCAA last season;
SMU, right behind Trinity in
fourth; The University of Texas,
ranked tenth in the NCAA last year;
and the University of Houston, last
year’s Southwest Conference
Champs.
Barker did a little prognosticating
concerning this years Southwest
Conference race. He picked the
University of Houston to repeat as
conference champs, with Texas a
close second and SMU right be
hind. He also expects Arkansas to be
one of the best teams in the confer
ence this year. This is the Razor-
backs first year in conference play
and they should have a fine team.
Barker also said he believed that the
conference was more balanced as a
whole than last year.
