(NORTHGATE) j Sports v \ Women's tennis team in Austin By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff Coach Jan Cannon takes her women’s tennis team to Austin today for the first meeting of all the South west Conference teams at the SWC Invitational at the Lakewood Coun try Club. All SWC teams with the exception of Baylor are expected to attend. Baylor has no women’s tennis program. The tournament is scheduled to begin Friday and last through Sun day. The format of the tournament is a dual-match, team competition. Each team will play as a team. In dividuals will win, lose and move up in the tournament as a team. This is a change from most fall tournaments in which competition is as singles and doubles teams. The competition will be in the form of eight singles and four dou bles matches. In the event of a tie, the number of sets won by a team during the match will be the basis for advancement. A&M drew Texas Tech University as its first round opponent. They be gin play at 9 a.m. Friday. The University of Texas will play Rice University; Southern Method ist University will go against the Uni versity of Houston and the Universi ty of Arkansas will play Texas Christ ian University. Texas and Rice begin play at 9 a.m. Friday while the other two matches will begin at 1 p.m. The winners of the A&M-Tech match and the Texas-Rice match will meet each other on Saturday at 9 a.m. The losers will play at 1 p.m. The format continues with the win ners and losers of the other two matches. The championship match will be on Sunday at 9 a.m. and the eventual champion must win all three match es to claim the title. Every team will play throughout the tournament. There will be no eliminations. Liliana Fernandez “It is a great idea for a format, ” said Cannon. “That way nobody will travel hundreds of miles to play only one match.” She said the tournament will help decide the rankings and seedings for the spring season. All the fall match es add up, she said, but without a doubt, the outcome of this tourna ment will have the most bearing on the spring season. “This will be a good tournament,” Cannon said. “If nothing else, we will get a good look at our competi tion for the spring.” She said TCU is the team to beat at the invitational. SMU, Texas and A&M are close behind. “On the basis of won-loss record, TCU is the best team,” she said. .“They have already beaten Trinity in a dual match, and Trinity has a darn good tennis program.” She said SMU, Texas and A&M have not met a very good team head- to-head yet. The records are similar and she has not been able to tell just how talented they are yet. “I’ll get my chance this weekend, ” she said. “I haven’t the foggiest no tion how we re going to do. I’ll just wait and see.” The Ags as singles are: Life, nandez, Pam Hill, Maylenft Amy Gloss, Sonja Laura Hanna, Judy Ferol Hinkle.

The slugging lefthander, who hit . 390 and drove in more than one run per game this season, Tuesday was named the most valuable player in the American League by the Base ball Writers Association of America. The announcement had a ther apeutic effect on Brett’s golf game. Brett was playing a leisurely 18 holes with his brothers and Hall of Earner Ralph Kiner in Palm Springs, Calif., Tuesday when he received word of the award on the ninth hole. “I shot 51-41 (92), but on the front nine I was thinking about (the award) too much and I was playing atro cious, Brett said in a telephone in terview. “I didn’t know who was voting. 1 knew I had a chance to be in the top five. I won all the other awards and I figured I had a good chance at this one. But I didn’t want to be too sure and then get let down. ” Brett, 27, never had to worry. He swamped his competition, collecting 17 of a possible 28 first-place votes (two writers from each AL city) and 335 points. His nearest rival, Reggie Jackson of the New York Yankees, received five first-place votes and 234 points.
