Tennis team
but could be
By RICK STOLLE
Battalion StafT
Despite the disappointment of dropping out of the
national top twenty after being in it for over a year,
head coach David Kent says the tennis team will be
better than ever.
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. The Ags will have four road tournaments,t

in Bryan.
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;

said, “I dont have any qualms*!

There’s really nothing to t

“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

he said.
If and when Richard does pit
