Silberman, Mike Moss, John Kirwan
and Robin Baker. Doubles —
Emley-Courson, Silberman-Kirwan

Houston and S.M.U. has already de
feated second-ranked Trinity. 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.

“It seems like I’ve had bad luck all
the way through,” Dierschke said of
his three and one-half years at A& M.
