He believes, in fact, that the 1981-82 edition of the Aggie tennis team will be the best he has had. “For the first time since I’ve been here at A&M, we will have both the quantity and quality of players to compete with the top teams in the nation, he said. The team broke into the top twenty in the spring of 1980. The team dropped out of the poll in the final ballot last spring. “We can’t worry about where we are ranked,’ Kent stressed. “We hold our destiny in our own hands and just have to win the matches to prove ourselves.” Junior Ron Kowal said the team was disappointed about being left out of the poll but believes this year’s team will be able to prove that the polls were wrong. “Sure, we were pretty upset, but we have to go on,” Kowal said. “I mean we beat both Texas and Michigan and should have been ranked above them but weren’t. We got beat by the politics of the polls. ” Kowal is a returning letterman, one of three re turning juniors to lead the team. The other returning juniors are Tom Judson and Brian Joelson, while sophomores Genaro Fernandez and redshirt Van Barry also return. Kowal and Judson had outstanding summers, said Kent, and Joelson was his usual remarkable self. Judson played very well in the Northern California circuit and should contend for a top spot. He com peted very well against tough competition, Kent said. “Tom really carried the team last year,” he said. “Without him we wouldn’t have been able to stay close in many matches.” Joelson went home to Portland, Ore. to defend some of the titles he won last year in the Northwest circuit. Kowal also went home (Napperville, Ill.) for the summer but faced a rough start to his vacation. “I got chicken pox at the start of the summer and right when I was getting over that I got an eye infection,” he said. “I tryed to play in the Penn circuit before I was fully recovered and really got beat up there.” Kowal said his doctor told him he never should have gone. He remained home for a few weeks, regained his strength and started experimenting with his game while practicing with his father. “I started playing around with my backhand and serve and finally found both of them. I now have a consistent backhand and a stronger serve,” Kowal said. He also changed rackets and had some good drops in poll improved wins in tournament play. “Ron is developing into a good team leader,^ said. Kent said he was proud of the way Kowal as back to school with the great attitude he is skwi; Despite losing four seniors, the Aggies Mti the outstanding recruiting crops in the nation “We have some outstanding freshmen coina: who are freshmen in name only,’ said then*! “They have more actual college experience lie have ever seen.” Mike Pazourek, from Tacoma, Wash., is ranked player in the Northwest tennis cimiiti was heavily recruited by about 25 colleges butt Texas A&M because of its facilities and people. 1, also a friend of top seed Brian Joelson. Kimmo Alkio is a Davis cup player from Fii Alkio has had some outstanding wins, manyoviii! U.S. collegiate players. On paper, Alkio is the most outstandingplasej Aggies have ever signed, the coach said. Hewilli to adjust to the conference, the Texas heatantj lege life. Greg Hill is easily the best athlete of tie t recruits. Not only was he a top tennis playerki state of Kentucky, but he was also a top guard high school basketball team. Hill chose tennis over basketball, however,; went to a tennis camp in Brandonton, Fla.ti prove his skills. "I went to Nick Bolletier’sten camp to polish my skills and learn,’ Hill said Kent said he “discovered” Hill when he (4 Florida to talk to one of his longtime friendsi coached there. “He said they had a kid whoW: strongest serve he had ever seen and I thoughtl! better look into it,” Kent said. Most colleges were looking at Hill fromaU ball standpoint and nobody even thought abouti nis. Kent said he jumped at the chance to sign Hr a tennis scholarship after talking to him. “I was hitting with him the other day andIcwll tell if any of his serves were in or not,” he said, "li just trying to get out of the way so I wouldnij killed.” Kent said Hill has the greatest potential and: most raw talent of anyone on the Texas A&M la team. Transfer Arnold Kettenacker from Vancow British Columbia, Canada rounds out the rraa He was ranked third in Canada in the 21 and® group. He is a sophomore transfer from PanAjj ican University. He will be ineligible for thesps dual matches but will be allowed to particip* tournament play this fall. Fortunately, the fall schedule is all tourna play.

Richard may pitch tonigl United Press International HOUSTON — Houston Astros fans may have their first opportun ity to see J.R. Richard on the mound tonight in more than a year, or they may have to wait longer, manager Bill Virdon says. Richard returned to the Astros active roster today for the first time since his nearly fatal stroke last summer. He was placed on the disabled list 13^2 months ago when what was thought to be an arm problem put him out of action two weeks before the stroke July 30, 1980. “He was ready to be activated, ” Virdon said Monday. “I think he’s ready to try it. “As far as when he might pitch, it depends. We’ll play it by ear. If the circumstances are right, he might pitch Tuesday. If not, it might be Sept. 25. “We won’t know how effective he’ll be until he gets on the mound,” Virdon said. “I watched him pitch batting practice (Satur day night) and he’s made improve ments.” General Manager Al Rosen said he would let Virdon decide whether Richard will pitch, hut he said he thought reactivation was a good move. “I think it will be a great boost psychologically for both J.R. and his teammates to see him in uni form,” Rosen said. “He’s worked diligently and I think he deserves to travel with the team.” Virdon said he would not have moved another player off the ac tive list to get Richard on it. Reacting to a report thalii move was made because oft; wishes of someone else, Vat said, “I dont have any qualms*! him being on the active h There’s really nothing to t Virdon refused to say wheat Richard would pitch. “There are circurastsC under which I would pitch It but I’m not going to tell you4 they are because if I did and tit didn’t pitch him in thosecirflit ances you would get all overs he said.
