Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1981 Staff photo by Greg Gammon Determined windup Shan McDonald, junior pitcher for the Texas A&M softball team, prepares to let another one fly in action during last week’s Texas A&M Invitational softball tournament. The Aggies finished third in the tourney and will play in the University of Texas-Arlington Invitational Saturday and Sunday. The Aggies are currently ranked number two in the nation with a 32-6 spring record. i Women netters in two matches By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff Fighting for position for the Texas AIAW Individual Tourna ment in Houston, the Texas A&M women s tennis team will play two conference matches over the weekend. The Ags play Texas Tech today at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. The men’s team will also have a match against Pan American University going on at the same time and the courts will be split to accommodate both teams. On Saturday, the women’s team will travel to Austin to play the University of Texas. The Lon ghorns play Tech at 8:30 a.m. Saturday before meeting the Ags at 2 p.m. “You won’t hear any complaints from us,” said Aggie tennis coach Jan Cannon. “We will take any advantage we can get.” The Ags are currently fighting for position in the AIAW division for Texas. The Ags are sixth in the conference with a 3-5 conference record in Division I. Trinity is in first with an 8-0 record. Texas is second at 7-0 with TCU, 7-1; Rice, 4-5; North Texas State, 5-4; A&M; UT-Permian Basin, 4-6; SMU, 3-6; Lamar, 4-4; Tech, 2-6 and Houston, 0-10 fol lowing in the standings. The standings are determined by the number of sets won in a match. This way, even though Rice may not have as good a record as NTSU, Rice has won more matches and is in fourth place. Cannon said she is confident about the weekend and hopes the team can play up to it’s potential. “I think we can beat Tech and give Texas a good match,” she said. “Realistically, we have the potential to beat Tech 9-0 and take Texas to 4-5. It all depends upon how the girls are playing.” The team has been playing much better, beating SMU and playing NTSU to a 5-4 loss.

Grad Students, Seniors, 2nd Semester Juniors: send $5 to ‘THE PERSONNEL DIRECTORS CATALOG’ Box 14014, Austin, TX 78761 Reagan allows TANK MPNAMAKA by Jeff Millar & Bill Hindi Louis in cemetary United Press International WASHINGTON — Boxing great Joe Louis will join 30 others, including U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers and White House corres pondent Merriman Smith, who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery without meeting the eligibility requirements. President Reagan used his au thority as commander-in-chief of the armed forces to waive the eli gibility requirements to permit the heavyweight boxing champion to be buried Tuesday among America’s heroes at the cemetery. Louis died of a heart attack Sunday in Las Vegas, Nev. He was 66. White House acting press sec retary Larry Speakes quoted Reagan Thursday as telling aides: “Joe Louis wore the uniform of the United States during World War II and was paid $45 a month. He was at the prime of his career and could have earned millions of dol lars more” if he had not gone into uniform. Burial at Arlington, the sprawl ing cemetery across the Potomac River from Washington, is limited to people who die while on active military duty; those retired after a service career; recipients of the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Air Force Cross, Navy Cross, Distinguished Ser vice Medal, Silver Star and Purple Heart; high-ranking federal gov ernment officials who also have ho orable military service; spouses and dependents of people already mentioned and of people already buried in Arlington. But, the best known noneligible persons probably are Powers and Smith. Powers, a Central Intelligence Agency contract employee, was piloting a U-2 reconnaissance plane that was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. He was tried and convicted of espionage in Moscow, but was released in 1962 in exchange for convicted spy Rudolf Abel. He died in 1977 in a helicopter crash in California. President Carter waived the eligi bility requirements to permit his burial at Arlington. Smith was a Pulitzer Prize winning correspondent for United Press International and dean of the White House correspondents. He was credited with first report ing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Smith died in 1970 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. President Richard Nixon waived the eligibility require ments for the veteran reporter. _ Vol. 74No. 131 •■sst 10 Pages Date for Raider anti-trui$i\\ hearing set for May 11 ^ United Press International LOS ANGELES — The anti trust suit filed by the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Col iseum against the NFL apparently will be heard May 11. U.S. District Judge Harry Pre- gerson, who has presided over several meetings that attempted to settle the case out of court, scheduled the trial date Wednesday. The suit was filed 2V2 years ago after the NFL owners voted to prohibit the Raiders from moving to the Los Angeles Coliseum to replace the Rams, who moved to Anaheim. Raiders’managing part ner Al Davis contended the league rule requiring approval of any move by the owners violated anti trust laws. The Coliseum joined the suit in an attempt to replace its biggest tenant. The NFL tried to get the case moved out of Los Angeles because local jurors might be prejudiced against the league, but the of Appeal would not alio* change of venue. An attorney for the Col Commission, Maxwell said Wednesday it was not the suit would be settled in for the Raiders to move to Angeles in time for the season. May 11 is only the latest set for the trial, the last March 23, which was delayd an NFL appeal.

Part of this st; that would have Romanian coach offered three jobs She cited both Pam Hill and Liliana Fernandez as having great singles wins in the SMU and NTSU matches. “Pam had a great win over Vick ie Vasicek in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3 and Lili was outstanding in her victory over Sammel,” Cannon said. Sammel is a 26-year-old fresh man at NTSU from South Africa. She played the pro circuit, said Cannon, but dropped out, waited a year and regained her amateur status by not receiving money for the matches she won. “That was Lili’s second win over Sammel,” she said, “and it was fantastic for her confidence.” Cannon said the entire team has gained needed consistency and confidence since the start of the season. It has also developed offensively a great deal in reaching the peak it has hit. “We need to try to keep the peak we have hit,” she said. “The players are playing tough tennis and are holding their own against some very fine players. We have the nucleus for a very good team next year.” The Ags are only losing one senior from this year’s team. Can non said she is pleased with the recruits she has signed and the future of A&M women’s tennis looks good. “We still have two conference matches left,” she said. “And the tournament is April 23-25, so we still have to look to this season before looking to next year.” United Press International DALLAS — Three job offers have been made to Bela Karoly, the Romanian gymnastics coach who recently defected to the United States while on tour with his team in Washington, D.C. Karoly, who coached Romanian Olympic star Nadia Comaneci, is being courted by three private gymnastics clubs, Roger Counsil of Fort Worth, executive director of the U.S. Gymnastics Federation, said Wednesday. Counsil said Karoly was scheduled to begin a three-city tour Friday regarding offers by private clubs in Houston, Oklahoma City and California. Counsil said Karoly lost his head coaching position in Romania about two years ago, then regained it about a year later, and was on a USGF sanctioned tour when he defected. The Romanian team had completed the last of six U.S. appearances when Karoly and his wife elected to stay in the United States. Their 7-year-old daughter was not with them on the tour, and remains in Romania. Counsil, who said U.S. gymnastics officials had not received word from the Romanians regarding the defection, minimized the possibil ity of Karoly coaching for the USGF. “I think not (no position would be offered), from the standpoint of international protocol,” he said. “It might put us in a position of jeopardy and seriously damage our relation with Romanian officials. “It would be very imprudent of us to hire him on our staff, at least in the near future,” Counsil said.
