I try to stay calm and not get too excited or angry. I know that I can’t overpower anybody out there, so I play intelligently and hope I can outguess my opponent if I’m los ing.” A former Texas state high school champ in class AAAA, Freeman won more than he lost as he piled up an 11-10 record as a freshman for Texas A&M in 1978. Included in that rec ord were several hard-fought matches won in the No. 1 and No. 2 seeded positions. This year, with a new coach David Kent and new facilities to play in, Freeman sees the Aggies having a much better season. I think we ll be exciting to watch, although the competition is going to give us a real workout,” said the computer science major. “We’re going to face some strong teams this season, both in and out of our conference.” One of the toughest teams that Freeman looks ahead to is SMU. “They’ve got seven players who can play anything from No. 1 to No. 6 (seed),” Freeman said. “If that isn’t enough, they’ve got the added di mension of having an extra man to provide depth in case of injury.” Freeman got a chance to look at some really stiff competition when he played in the NCAA indoors singles tournament in Houston last month. With 30 All-America players already assigned to spots in the tournament. Freeman was among 16 people competing for two additional places. Although he lost the first-round match to Matt Worwich of the Uni versity of Michigan 6-4, 6-1, Freeman says he was glad to be there. “It felt good just to be there and see all the quality play going on be tween the All-Americas,” he said. Freeman, who started playing tennis at age 10, was elected captain of the Aggie team by his fellow players before the 1979 season started. Isn’t it a bit unusual to be a team captain as a sophomore? “Yeah, it really is,” said Freeman. “Even in high school, I was captain only during my senior year.” Freeman and the Aggies will par- P 2 ticipate in the first team match of the season this weekend at the Lamar Invitational in Beaumont. His teammates include Alberto Jimenez, Mike Moss, Max King, Trey Schutz and Hendrick Roller. Freeman will pair with Jimenez in doubles. Other teams in the tournament include North Texas State, Houston McNeese State, Lamar, North East Louisiana, Rice and Louisiana Tech. ALL FAITHS CHAPEL COV-OB f\uW\ Thursday, February 1 7:00 P.M.
