Page 14 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY. APRIL 11, 1979 WEDNESDAY. AHHIL 11, mm Aggies leave Red Raiders in the dark By KURT ABRAHAM Battalion Reporter With a show of power almost as impressive as the windstorm that forced them indoors, the Texas A&M tennis team torpedoed floun dering Texas Tech 8-1, while snap ping a three-game losing streak in Southwest Conference action at Lubbock Monday. It was the second time in two days that the Aggies were faced with the prospect of trying to play in a windstorm and considering their 6-3 loss to TCU Sunday, things did not look very hopeful for the Ags. Given a chance to play indoors, Texas A&M coach David Kent gladly opted for a little darkness rather than try to brave the blinding dust being kicked up outside. “It might have been a little hard for some of our players to see well inside, but it sure beat the condi tions we had outside,” said Kent. It turned out to be a fortunate move for the Ags, as they posted their best conference performance since the 8-1 win over Baylor last month. After losing 16 of the last 18 singles matches, A&M broke loose to take five of six from the hapless Red Raiders. “I thought Mike Moss looked par ticularly sharp in the No. 3 seeded match,” said Kent. “He’s been hot lately and seems to be getting better with every match. I also thought Hendrick Roller did a good job against Tech. He was in a slump for quite a while, but now he’s looking more like the player I know he can be.” While Moss and Roller were boosting their overall records to 11-8 and 12-7, Reid Freeman was struggling through his eighth loss in the last nine matches. The match was the only blemish on the Aggies’ performance Monday, as Freeman failed to last into three sets, losing to Doug Davis, 7-6, 6-3. “Reid’s problem against Tech was that he just had a real hard time se eing on the indoor courts,” said Kent. “His game has been off lately, but I think he’ll eventually come around.” Freeman had far less trouble playing in the No. 1 doubles match, as he and teammate Alberto Jimenez held off Raiders Davis and Harrison Bowes to win, 6-3, 7-6. Meanwhile, in the No. 2 seeded match. Moss and Trey Schutz were chalking up their fifth win in six con ference matches by beating Chow Wgh and Randy Clayton, 6-3, 6-3. The win also gave Moss and Schutz an overall record of 14-5, good enough to give them a winning percentage of .737. “I can’t say enough about how hard those two have played, espe cially against the tough competition we’ve faced all year,” Kent said. “Half of the teams we play are in the top 20.” The Aggies made it a sweep of the doubles when Roller and fim Grubert won the third match, 6-4, 7-6 over Robert Davis and Greg Davis. It was the eigth time in 19 dual matches this season that Texas A&M has swept the doubles action. Kent said he felt his team’s good showing was the result of a good team effort. “I don’t care how good your players are, if they don’t think like a team, and help out each other, it’s going to hurt you sooner or later,” he said. “We’ve played several teams this year that did fine in the singles but then got beat in the dou bles because their egos caused them mmmmrn* RIGHT GUARD Bronze Deodorant 3 oz. can |Mt *165 99* POND S LOTION Cream Cocoa Butter list *1* ‘ -S oz. btL 99 * SHAMPOO , . r .

He doesnt someone with the Cardinals means someone in a bigger than them, and he’s saying more out of frustration than a* tion. “I went throughy draft thisvi and four clubs drafted I Montreal, Oakland, Philadel and this one. Three of them d oft'er me a contract, so on Fell 15th, I went through the secoi draft, which is when you call il* clubs to see who’s really intern and the Cardinals were the club that drafted me.” That’s what Carbo finds so ficult to comprehend.
