Rollie for 7:30 home game From staff and wire reports The Southwest Conference tournament opens in Lubbock, Austin and College Station tonight with Texas A&M winding up in the same bracket as the Houston Cougars and the regular season champion Arkansas Razorbacks finding the easiest path to the tournament finals. Saturday night’s final round of regular season games left Texas Tech, Texas and Texas A&M with home-court berths in the opening round of the tourney. Tech will host last-place SMU, Texas will be entertaining Rice and Texas A&M will be at home against TCU at 7:30 p.m. The tournament then moves to San Antonio Thursday night with the Baylor Bears playing in the first game of that evening’s double header at 7 p.m. against the win ner of the TCU-Texas A&M game. The SMU-Texas Tech winner will face the Rice-Texas winner in the second game Thursday night. On Friday evening Arkansas will be in action at 7 p.m. against the survivor of the SMU-Tech- Rice-Texas end of the bracket while Houston will enter the com petition in the second game against the team that makes it through the Baylor-TCU-A&M end of the bracket. The championship game is set for 8 p. m. Saturday night, the win ner there earning an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. Following an almost miraculous turnaround, the Aggies find them selves facing the Homed Frogs for the third time this year, this time in College Station. The Frogs beat the Aggies 56-51 at Reunion Arena in the first con ference game of the year on Jan. 3. The Aggies played the Frogs again on Feb. 24 in Fort Worth, this time winning 59-57. In that game Claude Riley was high point man with 16 points. Rynn Wright pitched in 14 points, as did TCU’s Darrell Browder. Texas A&M will have the advantage, not only because of the home court site, but also because the Aggies have been on an up surge lately. However the players aren’t tak ing the Frogs too lightly. “They have a bunch of good players, they all know their roles, ” reserve guard Bruce Sooter said of the Frogs. TCU is led by 6-2 Darrell Brow der and 6-5 Deckory Johnson but get some needed help from 6-8 freshman Gilbert Collier. “We have a definite advantage playing them down here. The crowd is great; we’ve got great fans." “There’s no way you can play a game down here and not be up for it,’’ Sooter said. “Everytime we come out on the court the fans start yelling and all. It gets your adrenalin flowing instantly.” Forward Roy Jones agreed. “Everybody’s talking about beating the hell out of everybody we play,” he said in reference to anyone the Aggies might be facing in tournament comnetition.

Fortunately, the Ags did st that to win the match 5-4. ■ An embarrassed Texas A&M ■am took the court Saturday and [acted vengeance on Baylor by eating the Bears 9-0 in the first buthwest Conference match of ie spring season. Kent said the team learned a bod lesson in the SWTSU match. E Kent added, “The problem with having experience as a pcher is that you get the test first 1 then the lesson.” He said he has coached only a ! teams that could survive the essure of having to win all three ubles to win the match. Kent said he is proud of his ■am, though, for coming back playing hard when the chips j down. He also said it is ob- ous where the strength of the im is. “Our doubles teams are the real rength of this team, they are the iason we are 9-1 right now,” he lid. Against Baylor, the Ags came t with a vengance. The team tally dominated the Bears and st only one set in the match.

The Ags will take on Kent’s old team, West Texas State Universi ty, Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. The match will be a homecoming of sorts. Kent recruited the seniors on the WTSU team. “They all know me and will be out to get me,” Kent said with a chuckle. “But they have a good team and we can’t take the match lightly.” Tuesday also is Jeff Carter Day at the courts. Carter has donated the use of a van to the tennis team. He is a Houston oilman who play ed tennis and handball for Texas A&M when he attended. “If I hadn’t received a tennis scholarship to Texas A&M, I wouldn’t have been able to go to college. Tm very excited about having been an Aggie student and a graduate and I want to pay my dues. That’s why I decided to pro vide the van for the tennis squads to travel in.” The Aggie men’s lacrosse team took it on the chin for its second loss of the young season Sunday. Texas A&M played the Houston Lacrosse Club, sponsored by Coors, and was defeated, 16-3. It was the second loss in a row for the Ags, who also lost last weekend against the San Antonio Lacrosse Club, 12-10. ‘These club teams are stocked with experienced ballplayers,” said team president Duke Whe lan. “Some of them play two years in high school plus four years in college. Our players can only play here, but those guys can just play with the club teams (no school affi liation).” See WhatH.E. BUTT GROCERY CO. has in STORE for you...
