Page 8 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1976 Connors powers past Kodes Evert wins again Associated Press FOREST HILLS, N.Y. — At Wimbledon, it was Evert and Goolagong. Four times on the wo men’s pro tour this winter, it was Evert and Goolagong. At last year’s U.S. Open, it was Evert and Goolagong. It always seems to be Evert and Goolagong — and the 1976 U.S. Open Tennis Championships is shaping up the same way. Top-seeded Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and second- ranked Evonne Goolagong of Austra lia took another stride on the road toward their expected showdown in the women’s singles final by scoring! easy quarter-final victories Wednes-| Doubleup, America. Two can ride cl than one. A Pubic Servios of This M^Mi T>» A<N«rt«*nQ Counc£ day. Miss Evert overwhelmed Natasha Chmyreva, the 18-year-old Russian, 6-1, 6-2 in an afternoon quarter-final match, while Miss Goolagong beat gritty veteran Rosie Casals 6-1, 6-2 in the featured night match at the West Side Tennis Club. In men’s action, top-seeded Jimmy Connors of Belleville, III. : overpowered Jan Kodes of Czechos lovakia 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 and third- seeded Guillermo Vilas of Argentina wore down plucky Eddie Dibbs of North Miami Beach, Fla., the No. 9 seed, 6-1, 2-6, 7-6, 7-6 in a two-hour, | 57-minute marathon. Connors will meet Vilas in one men’s semifinal Saturday. The remaining men’s semifinal berths were to be determined today, with No. 2 Bjorn Borg of Sweden playing No. 6 Manual Orantes of Spain, the defending champion, and No. 5 Hie Nastase of Romania facing unseeded Dick Stockton of Dallas. Miss Evert’s victory was her 99th in a row on clay or slow artificial sur faces, a streak which dates back to the Western Championships in July, 1973 — when she lost to Miss Goolagong. After the customary disclaimers about playing one match at a time and not looking too far ahead, both distaff rivals conceded they never yi are far from each other’s thoughts. “Playing Evonne is always some thing special,” Miss Evert said. “It’s always in the back of my mind that we may meet in the finals, and I know she thinks the same way.” “I really don’t like to look ahead,” Miss Goolagong said with a smile. “But it would be nice to beat Chris, especially here in the U.S. Open, and on clay.” Standing in the way of a rematch between the tennis queens are a pair of upset-minded 20-year-olds, Mima Jausovec of Yugoslavia and Dianne Fromholtz of Australia. Both breezed into the semis. Miss Jausovec beating her doubles part ner, Virginia Ruzici of Romania, 6-2, 6-1, and Miss Fromholtz defeating pig-tailed, 16-year-old Zenda Liess of Daytona Beach, Fla., 6-1, 6-3. Neither was expected to do much in this tournament. Both are happy to have gotten as far as they did — and hopeful of getting further. “It’s fantastic, I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far,” said Miss Jausovec. “I’m looking forward to playing Chris. I’m playing well now, and I’m anxious to see how I’ll do against' her.” “Each day my game seems'to get better,” said the perky Miss Fromholtz. “I’m playing very stead- , ily. I think I can give Evonne a good I match.” i We at McLaughlin's shape beautiful hair time after time. — It's no accident!

The consensus all- Southwest Conference candidate and Honorable Mention All- American finished his illustrious career at Aggieland last De cember in the trenches of the de fensive line in the Ags post season bowl appearance at the Liberty Bowl. In 1972, Schwarz was one of a small number of freshmen to ac quire a starting position in the Southwest Conference. Two years later, a young freshman at Washington Univer sity was bringing ball carriers to the earth in similar fashion. His name was Eugene Sanders. Play ing defensive end for the Hus kies, the 6-4, 265 pound rookie earned the honor of being named Freshman of the Year in the Pacific 8 Conference. But as success stories go, the football career of Eugene Sanders was momentarily interrupted. The Huskie coaches, who had recruited Sanders out of West Jef ferson High School in New Or leans, left the campus and were replaced by an entire new coach ing staff. The fresh, arriving coaches took to the gridiron and almost immediately, Sanders was transported to nose guard. The youngster became disen- Eugene Sanders chanted with the new coaches and their system. And he too left the university. He transferred to Texas A&M and he sat out all of last year, maintaining a year’s re sidency. Blake Schwarz’s departure left a huge gap and now Eugene San ders is itching to plug it. “It sure feels good to be back in the swing of things,” he said. “It’s always better than sitting on the sidelines. I got so disgusted and the attitude I had was really bad. I didn’t want to do anything. Fi nally,” he said, “ I got my head right.” Why did he leave Washington after of a year of fame and glory? “The new coaches changed ev erything,” he said. “When they moved me from end to nose guard, I didn’t really like it. I’m used to being outside where I can use my strength and quickness. “It just wasn’t the system I was accustomed to playing.” According to R.C. Slocum, Aggie defensive end coach, San ders is a quiet guy, one who does his job and expects little in re turn. “In contrast to Blake,” he said, “Eugene doesn’t say too much. But when Blake was out there, he was always hollering at some body. _ | “For that reason, I’m glad he is a quiet guy. 1 “Eugene is a fine person. He has good work habits on the field and I’m real pleased with the way he’s picked up.” Though Sanders has not suited up in the Southwest Conference, he has already noted a vast differ ence from what he found in the Pacific Eight. “In the Pac-8,” be said, “it was a little easier than here. Texas football is just that rugged. All the schools have real good teams.” When Sanders takes the field on the first series of downs against Virginia Tech this Saturday, an choring him will be three quality defenders. How does it feel to be playing with standouts Tank Mar shall, Jimmy Dean, and Edgar Fields? “It’s good to know you’ve got three guys beside you with so much ability and experience,” he said. “I trust and believeij and I hope they feel the with me in there. When you a line with that attitude you have to worry about anyoffei Sanders was on campus season and he vividly remeul! the disasterous ending to i) could have been A&M’s glorious year ever.

I Cross country lead by Kohrs By MARLA GAMMON The Texas A&M cross country team begins practice Friday with their first meet scheduled for Oct. 2. The Aggies return one letterman, sophomore Manfred Kohrs, from last year’s squad. Assistant track coacb Ted Nelson said it is extremely hard to letter in cross country since the runner must finish in the top ten at the SWC meet to receive a letter. Kohrs and senior Kyle Hefner will be competing for the number one position on the Aggies’ team. Ac cording to Nelson both men kept in shape this summer by running 85 to 100 miles a week. “We expect them to be the team leaders,” Nelson said. The number three position on the team will be filled by either Lane Mitchell or Walter Jachimowicz. Mitchell was the number five man for the Aggies last year. Teams are allowed to bring seven runners to cross country. The top five places count toward the team’s tipTtbp WELCOME BACK AGGIES RECORDS W AND TAPES AGGIE DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE!
