The giant’s awake
Once upon a time ... in a land not so far away, a sleeping giant
finally awoke ...
The giant had been accidentally put to sleep by his mentor.
Magical (call me Merlin) Metcalf, who had been experimenting with
various, new formulas. The formula he was searching for was the one
that would give the giant the crown of the tiny kingdom of Speegl-
land.
One of the formulas the giant drank during one of the parties of
yuletide, was a sleeping potion. Very promptly, he fell asleep among
all the merriment and partying of the new year.
Darkness descended upon the castle of Jolly Roily, the home of
the giant. All the serfs and followers were in despair trying to find
ways to awaken the giant.
Once they learned the giant was soundly asleep, all his enemies
began to laugh and kick him while he was down. At first they were
wary of a trap and sneaked upon the slumbering form so as not to
awaken him.
Soon they learned they were in no danger and they began to slam
dunk, fast break, wheel and deal upon the giant. They had a good
time.
All the while, Magical (call me Merlin) Metcalf was trying to
remember the antidote for his formula. He tried all kinds of things
— different formulas, new incentives and even a little bloodletting
but nothing seemed to work.
First to kick the downed giant were the funny frogs of the
“Killer. ” Then the Red Pirates from the dusty wastelands laid the
giant low.
The birds from bird-brain city flew in to Jolly Roily and cruised
out with another feather for the nest.
After a few more matches, all the groups in the tiny kingdom were
jumping at the chance to come to Jolly Roily castle to joust and try
their stuff.
It seemed as if all was lost.
Gambling “lucky” Lewis was ready to win it all with his hit man,
Rob “the sting” Williams.
The evil Duke Sutton of Mutton was laughing grimly at the plight
of the giant as he came up with plan to beat “lucky” and the rest of the
groups and swipe the crown of the tiny kingdom.
The crown of Speeglland went to the survivor of the most match
es. The giant had won the crown a year ago as he had cut a swath
through all his enemies. He had seemed invincible wielding his
favorite weapon, a piece of his magical Wall.
But the giant was asleep and nothing could help him.
Just when all seemed lost for the giant, Magical Metcalf came up
with a formula he had seemed to have forgotten. It was an old one
using two parts to three. He had little to lose so he tried it.
At first, the giant only stirred. With another dose, the giant
moaned and moved but did not awaken. Finally, with time running
out, Magical (call me Merlin) gave it his best effort ever. And the
giant awoke.
The loyal legions of serfs and minions of the giant sighed with
relief. They had screamed and yelled with each match trying to
awaken the slumbering form. Finally, he was awake and the loyal
followers were ready to be led.
He flexed his muscles and stretched and finally regained the form
he had lost when he had been asleep. The sleeping giant had
awakened ... and once he had finally stirred, the race for the crown
was thrown into the air.
But is the giant too far down to recover?
What of the evil plans of the Duke Sutton?
And what of Sour Lemons, the lead singer in the new wave group
Bevo, who threatens to take over the kingdom?
The answers to all the questions lie in the riddles of San Antone
for all those who are brave enough to seek them.

The Texas A&M University men’s tennis team
continued its winning ways over the weekend as the
Ags swept past both Stephen F. Austin University
and the University of Southwest Louisiana at the
Omar Smith Tennis Center.
The Ags defeated SFA 8-1 Friday in an easy win
but was challenged Saturday against USL before
taking a 6-3 victory.
After splitting the singles matches against USL,
the Ags came on strong to win all three doubles.
“The number one doubles match was the best
match I have seen in years,” said coach David Kent.
“Brian Joelson and Reid Freeman were down 4-0 in
the first set but came back to take it, 7-5. It was
absolutely a super effort.”
Kent said he was pleased with his team’s effort and
the fan support. The support from the rest of the
team and the home crowd was the deciding differ
ence, he said.
In singles: Joelson defeated Tora Yonozewa 5-7,
6-2, 6-2; Freeman lost to Terek Elsakka 6-3, 6-3; Trey
Schutz was beaten by Jim Price of USL 6-3, 6-3; Tom
Judson defeated Vaughn Bryan 6-4, 6-2 and Leonard
Smith beat Spike Jopiti 6-2, 1-6, 6-1.
“Leonard Smith had a great singles victory,” said
Kent. “He is doing exceptionally well for a
freshman.”
In doubles: Joelson-Freeman defeated Yonozewa-
Elsakka 7-5, 6-3; Judson-Ron Kowal beat Jim Bous-
tany-Jopiti 6-2, 1-6, 6-1 and Schutz-Jim Grubert de
feated Bryan-Price 6-4, 6-4.
“Joelson and Judson were super with double wins
Saturday,” said Kent. They won in both the singles
and doubles matches they played.
The Ags raised their record to 5-0. USL dropped
to 3-2.
The men’s team will take on the University of
Washington Wednesday at the Omar Smith Tennis
Center at 1:30. On Thursday, the Ags travel to San
Antonio to take on ninth-rated Trinity in the first
major test for the Ags of the young spring season.
Kent said Washington is very good and the Ags
cannot be caught looking towards the Trinity match.
They are in a tough conference, he said, that has six
top 20 teams in it.
Texas A&M and Trinity have developed an in
tense rivalry since they began playing matches three
years ago.
“We really look forward to playing them each
year,” said Kent.

in the showing the Ags had against
