V, Tennis team on road Ags play in tourney Guest column Injuries stall 'hoi By PAUL McGRATH By PAUL ARNETT Battalion Sports Editor The Aggie tennis team takes a bus trip to Waco today to play in the S.W.C. Tournament this weekend. The University of Houston is favored to win both the individual and team championships. Competition will be tough, with each school sending six singles players and three doubles teams. The tournament is operating on a new format this year. There will be six separate singles tournaments matching the number one through the number six players from each of the nine schools. The same format will be followed for the doubles. The Aggie entries are: Singles — Charles Emley, Tom Courson, Mark Silberman, Mike Moss, John Kirwan and Robin Baker. Doubles — Emley-Courson, Silberman-Kirwan and Moss-Baker. Besides Houston, Texas and S.M.U. are also strong contenders. Texas is only five matches behind ! 6 : 2y*ii S* \l 24£V _ jj i ~ I V! ' II iJ i :r JOSE CUERVO® TEQUILA. 80 PROOF.

Rice and T.C.U. are the dark horses in the tournament. The coaches like the new format, which is actually nine separate matches, with each one counting to ward the final team standings. The round-robin matches have been used in the past, but they only de cided who won the individual matches. Houston’s London Town man, Ross Walker, will be the man to beat in the singles. He is the defending champion in the S.W.C, and he and his double’s partner, Dan Valentin- cic, are the favorites in this event. The Aggies have one claim to fame in the tournament. The team of Emley-Courson defeated the number one doubles team of Walker-Valentincic in a dual meet held at A&M on Tuesday. The Ag gies came from behind to win the match 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. Buddy Bowan of Arkansas, and Gary Plach of Texas, figure to chal lenge Walker for the singles cham pionship. Each have a strong serve and excellent ground strokes. If they take the match to Walker, then it should prove interesting to see who comes out the victor. The standings in the conference are: Houston 55-8, Texas 57-15, S.M.U. 51-21, Rice 38-34, T.C.U. 32-31, Arkansas 33-39, A&M 20-43, Tech 11-52 and Baylor 9-63. The Aggies’ best chance for indi vidual honors is in the doubles. Emley-Courson work well as a team, and should prove a formidable op ponent. The tournament starts today, with the championship to be decided Saturday. Action will take place on the Sul Ross Courts in Waco. Metcalf, crew sign 6-5 guard-forward By PAUL ARNETT Battalion Staff Writer Shelby Metcalf and company travelled all the way to gatoraid country to sign their latest basketball recruit. His name is Sonny Howard, and if he is anything like Sonny P., then he is a welcome figure in Aggie- land. Hammond, who makes his home in Miami, is a 6-5, guard-forward prospect. He averaged 25 points a game, which was tops in the city and county. Assistant coach Bob Gobin said, “Sonny has a tremendous range from the outside, in fact, shooting is his strong point. We hope to start him out as a guard or forward, then move him to the point. He is like a Ray Roberts or Sonny P., and will work well in our game plan.” Hammond liked A&M the minute he saw the campus. He is interested in agriculture and forestry, and feels A&M has an excellent program in each. Hammond also enjoyed the players on the team, and looked for ward to joining the club. His senior year in high school, Hammond was All-City and re minded the coaches of Cecil Rose of Houston. Hammond was also heav ily recruited by such schools as Houston, Oregon and Washington State. Hammond will join the other Aggie recruits, and hopefully will help shore-up a team plagued with the loss of seniors. Metcalf will return to College Sta tion on Thursday, and then will be off to Illinois. The Aggies have re cruited well in that state the past few years, and who knows, maybe another Sonny P. will make his home on the court of G. Rollie White. When Sam Dierschke graduated out of Sealy High School in 1972 he was heralded as the Great White Hope of Texas track. People came from miles around to see this white boy who ran so fast. At most meets he was the star attraction and a good many in attendance left after his day’s work was done. Dierschke was one of the most hotly-recruited prep tracksters in the state and ended up under Char lie Thomas’ fold at Texas A&M — a school rich in track tradition follow ing the Randy Matson-Curtis Mills era. He had just run a 21.1 in the 220-yard dash at the state meet, a mark that still hears his name. As a freshman Dierschke con tinued to ooh and aah the crowds with personal bests of 21.0 in the 220, 9.3 in the 100-yard dash and a 46.2 leg in the mile relay. The Great White Hope had arrived. But then came the pain. The 6-1, lanky sprinter developed groin pulls his sophomore year and missed al most the entire year. Everytime he reached back for the power to pro vide a winning kick his injured body betrayed him. The injuries have persisted into this, his senior year. Dierschke has not run competitively this year after missing most of his junior year be cause of the pulls. This year, he is having problems with both achilles tendons. His legs have been treated with heat and sound therapy and Dierschke says his legs have re sponded “pretty good so far.’ He will compete for the first time this season at a pick-up meet in Waco while the rest of the team travels to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Although planned by Thomas to run mainly the quarter, he will run the 220 this weekend. •i “It seems like I’ve had bad luck all the way through,” Dierschke said of his three and one-half years at A& M. He appears to be theexc what lias become a tra 1 athletes competing in sprjsjl 'fhe training facilities, the two whirlpools, are tU by the football team, now a spring drills.
