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!

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

Sanders finds a home at end
By PAT EDMONDSON
For four years, the light, but
bruising frame of Blake Schwarz
was stationed at the right defen
sive end position of the A&M de
fense. 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

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
