il f The Aggie tennis team lost a dual
T match to The University of Houston
by a score of 8-1 Wednesday at Oak
onepo Village Racquet Club,
m nJBrhe lone victory for the Ags came
ini cou in the No. 1 singles match in what
twjjj was as much a verbal contest as it
yj nner was a tennis match. A&M’s Reid
ia s ] t ; Freeman played the Cougar’s
i n | 01ll ‘ Nduka Odizar, who is from Nigeria,
j n a || in a match marred by disputed line
|| y;, calls from both players.
,| In the first set there wasn’t much
arguing as Freeman won it 7-5. In
the second set things began to heat
up a little when in the third game
|, a “ a ; with the set tied at one all. Freeman
broke Odizar’s serve. This was the
first of many arguments by the
two.
JOdizar had hit what he though
was a winner of a drop volley but
Freeman scooped the shot up and
scored 1
came away with the point much to
the displeasure of Odizar. This set
up a heated battle the rest of the
way.
With the set tied at four all,
Odizar called out a shot that
Freeman thought was a clear winner
and this set off another argument
which ended in Odizar winning the
point and eventually winning the
game. Because of the number of
disputed calls a volunteer linesman
was dispatched to the court. Odizar
Broke Freeman’s serve and won the
second set 6-4.
With things cooling down a bit in
the third set. Freeman played very
aggresively and went on to close out
the match winning the set 6-2.
It was a big win for Freeman, a
freshman from Dallas, as he beat a
player who has beaten some of the
top men in the country this^ year,
including four all-American players.
The other Aggies were not as for
tunate as Freeman. It was Hous
ton’s Dan Valentincic over Mike
Moss, Dennis Cahill over Max King
and Robert Buchalter downing Trey
Schutz. Also it was Joel Hoffman
beating Robin Baker and Hans Rus-
ley downing Jim Grubert.
In doubles action it was a Hous
ton shut-out with Cahill and Valen
tincic beating Freeman and Moss
6-4, 7-5, Odizar and Rusley over
King and Schutz 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, and
Buchalter and Hoffman toppling
Baker and Grubert 6-4, 7-5.
A&M’s record in conference play
dropped to 25 wins and 20 losses
with each match counting one point.
The Aggies next home match will be
against TCU at the Oak Village Rac
quet Club on next Wednesday.
TCU is ranked in the top ten in the
nation which will make them the
Aggies third opponent in two weeks
to be so ranked. The other two were
Trinity and Houston.

One last basket
mi
linguei
iiega J
ne of the best basketball
|ches in Texas has decided to re-
as a coach in this state. Bill
eley, head coach at North Texas
State University in Denton, has
turned down the head coaching pos
ition at the University of Wyoming.
In his three-year tenure at NTSU
keley has a 65-16 record with
ee straight 20-game winning sea
ms. His remaining at North Texas
do nothing but help the basket-
image of the teams in the
tithwest . . . Bill Walton’s record
for most points in an NCAA cham-
lonship game will stand at least one
e year, but it came dangerously
to being broken in this year’s
le game. Kentucky’s Jack “The
Iden Goose’’ Givens came within
e points of Walton’s 44-point
rd that the Portland Trailblazer
Iter set in 1973 against Memphis
e. Givens racked the Duke Blue
Is for 41 points hitting 18 of 27
; in Monday’s championship
e at the Checkerdome in St.
is. . . And even though Walton
sn’t have to worry about Givens
rning next year (he’s a senior),
J till has to worry about the entire
we team challenging it as the
le Devils return all five of their
Iters for next season . . . And
king of the NCAA tournament,
nsas finally took revenge on the
hting Irish from Notre Dame.
For the first time since 1970, when
Texas defeated the Irish in the Cot
ton Bowl, a Southwest Conference
team has beaten Notre Dame at
something. And the Arkansas
victory saved face for SWC basket
ball and proved that Houston’s per
formance in the opening round of
the tourney had to have been a
fluke. Conference sports teams just
aren’t that bad, but I’m sure the
Irish wouldn’t mind playing Texas in
the Cotton Bowl every year, ya
think? . . . With Arkansas’ victory in
Monday’s semi-final game, the
Hog’s end the season with a 32-4
record equaling the modern-day
record for most wins in a single sea
son set by North Carolina in 1957
and tied by Indiana in 1976. The
victory also gave coach Eddie Sut
ton a 94-24 four-year record as head
mentor at Arkansas . . . And con
gratulations goes out to Texas’ head
basketball coach Abe Lemons for
being name co-winner of this year’s
National Association of Basketball
Coaches coach of the year. Lemons
shares this year’s title with coach
Bill Foster who led his Duke team
into the NCAA finals ... It does
help to be the coaches son. Billy Al
len, whose pop is head coach at
SMU, has said he will accept the
scholarship offered to him by the
Mustangs. Billy, a starting guard at
Highland Park High School, was
highly recruited by many teams
throughout the nation but chose to
stay at home to play for his dad . . .
And SMU has gotten a big jump on
the rest of the conference with their
basketball recruiting this spring. To
go along with Billy Allen, the Mus
tangs have landed Brad Branson, a
210-pound 6-foot-9 forward from
Edison Junior College in Fort
Meyers, Fla. Branson, a JC all-
American and a B-plus student, has
given SMU a “definite verbal com
mitment,” says head coach Sonny
Allen. Carrying a scoring average of
25.6 points and 13 rebounds per
game last year, Branson was offered
between 150 and 175 scholarships
but chose SMU and Dallas because
“of the I business opportunities of
fered in the city. . . . And one final
thank you goes out to Al McGuire
for the excellent job he did on the
NCAA tourney games. His color
comentating on the TV broadcasts
was an excellent addition to each
telecast. The college coaching pro
fession’s loss was the TV audience’s
gain . . .
