13 matches in 8 days
to keep Aggies busy
i&MSC AGGIE CMEMAmmmmwt,
“‘The Blues Brothers’ is a Scream...!
By RICK STOLLE
Battalion Staff
If playing 13 tennis matches in
eight days is fun to you, Texas
A&M tennis coach David Kent
wants you.
Both Aggie tennis teams will be
busy with dual matches and tour
naments over these next two
weeks.
The men’s team will be the
busiest with eight matches. The
team plays Southwest Texas State
University today at 1:30 p.m. and
then takes on Baylor University in
the first Southwest Conference
match of the spring season Satur
day at 1:30. Both matches will be
played at the Omar Smith Tennis
Center.
The men will then host coach
Kent’s old team. West Texas State
University Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.
before going to Corpus Christi for
the prestigious 13th Annual
H.E.B. College Tennis Team
Championship.
Texas A&M women’s team will
have to travel thousands of miles
to compete in its matches.
The women’s team travels to
Houston today to play the Univer
sity of Houston and then to
Beaumont to take on Lamar Uni
versity Saturday. The ladies have
a rest for a few days before having
to travel to Provo, Utah to com
pete in the Brigham Young Invita
tional Tournament.
“When you have to play a lot of
matches like that, you had better
have confidence in your team,”
Kent said. “It’s a good thing I do.”
“The Baylor match last year
knocked us out of fifth place in the
conference,” he said. The Ags

beat Baylor 7-2 but at the end of
the season were only one game
behind the University of Texas in
the standings. In the SWC, con
ference matches add up to an
aggregate game total that is used
to produce the final standings.
“In the SWC you need to beat
teams as bad as you can,” said
Kent. “Because of the way they
have it set up, it’s better to lose to
Arkansas 5-4 than beat Baylor 7-
2. ” Arkansas is the top-rated team
in the conference this year while
Baylor is at the bottom.
The singles lineup for the Ags
against Southwest Texas State:
Trey Schutz, Reid Freeman,
Brian Joelson, Tom Judson, Max
King and Leonard Smith. Dou
bles teams are Freeman-Joelson,
Shutz-Smith and Kowal-Judson.
Saturday, the line-up is sche
duled to be Joelson, Freeman,
Schutz, Judson, King and Smith.
The only change in doubles is that
Kowal-Judson will play the num
ber one doubles with the other
two teams moving down a notch.
“One of our goals at the begin
ning of the season was to go into
Corpus with record of 10-1,” said
Kent. “So far, we’re on schedule
with the only loss being to
Trinity.”
The Corpus Christi Tourna
ment is one of the best in the coun
try. Twelve nationally ranked
teams will be competing in the
field of 24 teams.
The women’s team will not have
an easy time this week, either.
The ladies must go on the road to
play a lot of tough matches.
She said Lamar is no push-over
and could take the Ags to the limit.
However, the big test comes in
Provo. She said the BYU tourna
ment is one of the better in the

TAMPA, Fla. — Baseball’s bat
tle lines have been drawn once
again.
The executive board of the Play-
ers’ Association, meeting
Wednesday in Tampa, unani
mously agreed to strike on May
29, and player representatives
fanned out through spring training
camps to brief other players on the
status of the contract issue.
The issue of compensation for
free agents has been unresolved
since last spring. When a commit
tee of two players and two club
representatives failed to reach
agreement, the owners said Feb.
19 they were invoking a provision

to allow teams losing players to
free agency to receive compensa
tion in the form of an unprotected
player on the other team’s roster.
Currently, teams losing a player
through free agency gain only a
player in the amateur draft as com
pensation.
Marvin Miller, executive direc
tor of the players’ association, said
Wednesday the action by the own
ers left the players with no alterna
tive but to act prior to March 1 to
sanction a strike.
“The players are in a defensive
position, taking the only action the
contract allows them to prevent
the owners from taking back the
rights of players and, in our opin
ion, taking the first step toward
ending free agency altogether,”
Miller said.
Ray Grebey, head of baseball’s
Player Relations Committee, said
in New York the players action
merely would create crisis and
confrontation.
“It appears as though the play
ers union continues to be more
interested in rhetoric and press
clippings than it is in the process of
collective bargaining,” Grebey
said. “The players’ action in sche
duling a strike is most regrettable.
“Any attempt to shift responsi
bility for their action to the 26 ma
jor league clubs is without founda
tion and entirely inexcusable,” he
said. Miller said comments b)
New York Yankee owner George
Steinbrenner that the owners
must be compensated forlostfree
agents indicates he doesnt
understand the issues.
“What he doesn’t understand is
that the owners are really aiming
this at him. Miller said. “When!
say him, I don t mean him alone,!
mean those who have operated
more successfully under the
system.
“Wherever I go among owners
and general managers, they refer
to him as that (expletive deleted)
who has caused the whole mess,
he said.
Miller Said the owners
claimed they were concerned only
with protecting their top players,
but he said their proposal goes
much further.
“If you will look at their propos
al you will see that basically any
body in the top 50 percent of al
major league players is eligible for
having the yoke of compensate
placed on him regardless of ho#
poor his performance statistics
are,” he said.
Miller said the players associa
tion is ready to continue negotia
tions, but said no meetings with
club representatives are sche
duled.
