more than 300 fans despite regional coverage of the A&M-
SMU football game. The Aggies shoot for second place in the
SWC Saturday against Rice.
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
It’s come down to one game for
Head Coach Telmo Franco and his
Texas A&M men’s soccer team.
For the first time ever, the A&M
team will fight for second place in the
SWC Soccer Conference. That’s im
portant to Franco because it means
the Aggies will have a decent argu
ment for the varsity status they’ve
wanted so long.
N This weekend, the Aggies won the
first of two must games with a 2-1
victory over Texas Tech at the Pen
berthy Intramural Complex in front
of over 300 fans. One more time, the
defense saved the day for A&M. And
one more time, the Ags had trouble
scoring, despite numerous chances.
“We had to win,” said Franco.
“The team played very well. It was a
nice ball control game. We control
led the whole game. It’s unfortunate
we can’t score more goals.
“We took over 20 shots on goal...
only two scored. I’m happy with
those two, though. We completely
dominated the game.”
The victory upped Texas A&M’s
season record to 6-3-2. The Ags now
travel to Houston to take on Rice
next Saturday.
Saturday’s win over the Red Raid
ers was hard-fought.
The first goal was scored early,
when Aggie Captain Paul Winston
scored on a head shot after a beauti-
ful assist from halfback Carlos
Clynes.
Winston, a forward, was in posi
tion as Clynes manuevered a pass
from the center of the field and
looped it up in the air for Winston to
score.
The scoring ended there for the
Ags until later, and Texas Tech tied
the score in the meantime. Despite
controlling the ball offensively and
taking numerous shots on goal, A&M
could not score until time became a
factor late in the game.
With approximately two minutes
left, Winston booted a ball into the
net and the Aggies shut down the
Raiders’ desperation offense to take
the victory.
“You won’t believe how much we
dominated the game,” said Franco.
“They’re (A&M) just not ready to
score goals. They don’t have the pati
ence. It takes patience to set up
goals.”
While the Aggies were fighting for
a second place finish in the SWC,
first place SMU was crushing Arkan
sas Saturday, 9-0. Earlier in the year,
the nationally ranked Mustangs had
beaten A&M, 4-0. The Aggies tied
the Razorbacks, 2-2.
The Mustangs have clinched the
SWC title, but an A&M victory over
Rice Saturday will put the Aggies
higher than they’ve ever been in the
final standings.
“We feel like we should'win that
Rice game with no problem,” Franco
said.

The Texas A&M men’s tennis
had high hopes going into the
meet with the University of
and Trinity this weekend, but
short of its lofty goals,
inity swept the tournament,
Id at the Omar Smith Varsity
urts at A&M Friday, winning
the singles and doubles divi-
ns of the Tri-meet. Paul Wameke
n the singles and then teamed
ih Mark Pinchoff to win the dou-
is.
had a respectable showing,
ough, as one singles player
iched the semifinals and two
Siers reached the quarterfinals,
jfc Ags also had a doubles team
ich the semifinals, but all five
ims entered got into the quarter
ns.
Brian Joelson got to the semifinals
fore losing to Guillermo Stevens of
xas, 6-2, 6-4. He defeated Mark
itchell of Trinity, 6-1, 7-6, in the
ptd round after receiving a bye in
3 first. He beat Ted Erck of Texas,
I) 6-2 before meeting Stevens.
Reid Freeman and Trey Schutz
also got to the quarterfinals. Free
man beat Doug Snyder of Texas, 6-2,
6-4, but was defeated by eventual
champion Warneke, 7-6, 2-6, 7-5.
Schutz defeated Edgar Griffenig
of Texas, 6-1, 6-1, and Dan Weber of
Trinity, 6-2, 7-6, before getting
beaten by Craig Karden of Texas.
Karden won, 7-5, 6-7, 7-6, in a
marathon match that saw Schutz win
the first tie-breaker 5-4 and Karden
win the second by the same score.
All five of the doubles teams
reached the quarterfinals in a display
of the strength by the A&M tennis
team.
The only problem was that in one
case, a team had to play their team
mates. Schutz and Jim Grubert defe
ated Tal Henry and Peter Mako of
Trinity, 6-2, 6-2, in the first round.
They had to play Robert Stapper and
Genero Fernandez, their team
mates, in the next round. Schutz-
Grubert won, 4-6, 6-0, 6-4 in a tough
match.
Schutz-Grubert lost in the semi
finals, however, to champions Pin-
choff-Wameke, 6-4, 6-4, of Trinity.
Freeman and Joelson also lost to
champions, 6-4, 7-5, in the quarter
finals.
Leonard Smith and Max King de
feated Erck and Todd Lugar of
Texas, 7-5, 6-2, in the first round.
They then lost to Stevens and Paul
Crozier of Texas, 7-5, 6-0.
Ron Kowal and Tom Judson re
ceived a bye in the first round but
were defeated by Snyder and Griffe
nig of Texas in another tough match,
3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

traveling to the April Sounds Invita
tional at Lake Conroe. Play is sche
duled to begin at 1 p.m. Friday.
