playing in their living rooms (on

Malone single-handedly kept
the Rockets in the game in the
third quarter with 13 points and
three rebounds. After Mike Dun-
leavy bit a 3-point basket 35
seconds into the second half to
move Houston from a 3-point half

Malone collected a dunk, a re

in the next SVz minutes to give the
Rockets a 53-43 advantage.
Malone added 11 of Houston’s
13 points during the final five mi
nutes of the period to keep the
Rockets in front through 36 mi
nutes, 66r60. .
That enabled the Rockets to
blow the game open in the final
period with a 13-2 run over a four-
minute span midway through the
quarter, expanding a six-point
lead into an 86-69 advantage.
Malone left the game for good
with 6:01 remaining, but not be
fore collecting his final four points
and three rebounds in the period.
“People say, ‘As Moses Malone
goes, so go the Rockets,”’ said
Harris. “Some even call us,
‘Moses Malone’s Rockets.’ But
that’s not true. I wish it was. If we
went as Moses goes, we’d have
been 75-7 this year instead of 40-
42. He has a good game almost
every time out. In my opinion, he
was the most valuable player in
the league this season. ”
Robert Reid added 19 points,
Dunleavy 13 and Allen Leavell 10
for the Rockets while Ernie Grun-
feld topped the Kings with 20.
Scott Wedman added 19 and Re

Aggie bats
come alive
in win, 9-3
By FjtANK L. CHRISTLIEB

Whep the bats of the Texas
Aggie baseball team come alive
like th^y did in Tuesday night’s
game \v)th the University of South
Alabama, there’s no question ab
out whp’s going to win.
Scorjpg all their runs in the
sixth, seventh and eighth innings,
the Aggies beat the Jaguars 9-3 in
Olsen fHeld in front of only about
200 people.
Comjng into the game with a
30-12 record and coached by for
mer professional baseball player
Eddie gtanky, USA put on a ma
jor-league performance with their
conduct, but their performance on
the field couldn’t match the dis
play pqt on by the Aggies.
The well-disciplined Jaguars
showed what it’s like to have a
former major-leaguer for a head
coach by standing along the first-
base lipe for the playing of the
national anthem, and also by dis
playing a hustle-at-all-times atti
tude oq and off the field.
Jaguar starting pitcher Joe
Brown, entering the game with a
7-2 record, retired the Aggies on
only two hits through the fifth in
ning, apd took a 2-0 lead into the
sixth. Rut after two outs in the
sixth, Brown walked two and gave
up a single.
Stanky brought in reliever
Dave Czosek, who gave up a
three-rpn double on his first pitch
to Joey Szekely and a run-scoring
single to Kevin Smith. Czosek had
more trouble in the seventh,
when ho gave the Aggies two runs
on doubles by Clint Heard and
Rodney Hodde, and an RBI
ground ball by David Kennard.
Heard was 4 for 4 in the game with
three singles and the double.
The Aggies scored again in the
eighth, as Szekely hit a two-run
homer to end the game with five
RBI. Aggie pitcher Marvin Keller,
2-1, pitched a strong seven in
nings before being relieved by
Bobby Taylor.
A&M, now 26-15-1, will play
USA again today in a single game
at 1:30 p.m. in Olsen Field.

Aggie netters sign three
By RICK STOLLE
Battalion Staff
Predicting great things from the
recruits and the team, Texas A&M
tennis coach David Kent had no
thing but praise for three new re
cruits he has signed.
Kent has signed Mike Pazourek
ofTacoma, Wash, and Greg Hill of
Henderson, Ky. to national letters
of intent. He expects another let
ter in the mail from Kim mo Alkio
of Finland.
“I am real excited about this
group, ” he said. “They have been
winners in the past against quality
competition and I predict some
great wins in the future from this
bunch.”
Kent said a coach has to have
good players to have a good tennis
program. With the additions of
the three new signees, the team is
filled with good, quality players.
“This will be the first year here,
I will have recruited all the players
on the team,” he said. “And these
new freshmen are the best I have
ever recruited. ”
He said the freshmen will play
on the tennis circuit in the sum
mer and come to Texas A&M
“tournament tough”.
“I am really looking forward to
next year,” he said.
Alkio is from Lukupurontic,
Finland and is an outstanding
prospect. He is on the Finnish
Davis Cup team and is the num
ber one junior player in Finland.
He went to high school for six
months in Florida and won 23
straight matches. Kent said he was
not beaten in the six months until
the finals of the high school tour
nament.
Alkio was highly recruited and
has recorded wins over the top
players at the University of Geor
gia and Southwest Louisiana Uni
versity.
Pazourek is a friend of Texas
A&M’s top player Brian Joelson.
Kent said he is also of the same
quality as Joelson.
“He is left-handed, tall and
strong,” said Kent. “I will label
him as a can’t miss prospect. We
sure got a good one in him.”
Pazourek was highly ranked and
recruited last year. He also beat
Tim Gullickson, a pro on the tour.
Hill is the sleeper of the three.
Not many teams heard about the
young Kentuckian until he was
already in the A&M camp.
“Greg played basketball in
Kentucky and never devoted his
full attention to tennis,” said
Kent. “We got the inside track
due to some connections in Flor
ida I have with a high school coach
there who saw Greg play.”
He said Hill is easily in the same
class as the other two recruits and
could be the strongest.
“He has one of the strongest
serves I believe I have ever seen,”
said Kent.
Hill has a lot of potential, he
said, and has played the nationl
tennis circuit but an injury cut his
playing short. He will play the na
tional circuit this summer to pre
pare for his entry to college tennis.
“I could be wrong about these
recruits,” Kent said. “But I don’t
believe I am.”
