Only four of the 12 women on the team met tournament require ments by being Texas residents and having competed in three tournaments. “Sonja Hutcherson, Pam Hill, Rebecca Rasor and Laura Hanna were the only girls to stay in state to play summer tennis,” said women’s coach Jan Cannon. The men’s team will host the Texas A&M University three-way tournament involving Texas A&M, the University of Texas and Texas Christian University. TCU has some of the top singles players in the conference as well as the NCAA champion doubles team of Karl Richter-David Pate. “The matches promise to be great spectator sport,” said coach David Kent. “It’s not every day fans are able to see NCAA cham pions and championship tennis like we ll have. I am looking for some very fine, heated matches.” Kent went on to say the tourna ment has been sanctioned by the Tennis Coaches Association and he hopes the tournament will be come an annual event. “Besides,” he said, “it is always easier to start at home rather than going on a road trip.” The Aggies have no senior leadership this year but will rely upon a trio of juniors to lead the team: Brian Joelson, Ron Kowal and Tom Judson. Seeded singles players in the tournament are Greg Amayla, Pate and Richter of TCU along with Paul Crozier of Texas. They have each received byes in the first singles round. Singles matches in the first round of the three-way tourna ment for the Ags are freshman Kimmo Alkio against Doug Snyd er of Texas; freshman Mike Pazourek against Peter Kures of TCU; freshman Greg Hill against Chris Doane of TCU; transfer sophomore Arnold Kettnaeker versus Paul Crozier of Texas; transfer Van Barry will go against Tom Fontana; Judson against Corey Whittenberg of TCU; freshman Lauro Gonzales against Craig Kardon ofTexas; sophomore Genario Fernandez against George Lee of TCU; Joelson against Edgar Giffenig of Texas; and Kowal against Kevin Forbes of Texas. The doubles teams of Pate- Richter, Kowal-Judson, Crozier- Erck and Kardon- Crawford are seeded. In doubles, first-round matches scheduled for Texas A&M are Kowal-Judson against Kures- Metzger of TCU; Hill-Alkio against Kardon-Crawford of Texas; Barry-Kettnacker against Crozier-Erck of Texas; Joelson- Pazourek against Leeson-Lee of TCU and Fernandez-Gonzales against Levine-Fontana of TCU.

The Seventh Annual Texas A&M Invitational meet begins at 6 p.m. when the women begin their 5,000 meter race on the Texas A&M golf course. Teams compet ing in the event are the University of Texas, Abilene Christian Uni versity, the University of Hous ton, Baylor University, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas-El Paso and Sam Houston State University. The Aggies finished third in last year’s meet behind champion Texas and runner-up Lamar. Nix said the Longhorns should be the favorite again this year as well. “We should be strong enough, though,” he said, “to give Texas a real battle and we have a better- than-average chance to beat them.” The field is wide open because the top finisher last year was from Lamar, who is not sending a team this year,” Nix said. The meet will be over the fairly flat Texas A&M golf course. Nix said the only rough spots for the athletes will be slight inclines, especially one near the end of the race. “If anyone has any kick left, that last incline usually drains it pretty fast,” he said. Nix said he w r ould be able to tell the probable outcome of the race after approximately one-third of the race. “A mile is a third of the race and the positions don’t usually change after that,” he said. The runner finishing first will win one point, while second place will get two. The team with the lowest total will win the meet. Running for the Aggie women will be Adelaide Bratten, Kim Cloud, Barbara Collinsworth, Jana Graves, Marilee Matheny, Lisa McCorstin, Suzanne Shef field and Dena Spier. Coach Ted Nelson’s men’s team will compete against Baylor, Texas, Houston and Lamar. Texas A&M runners will be Andy Elliott, Jim Bolleter, Ray Muenich, Richard Bradley, Jim Sterling, Jefl Kurtz and Howard Loehr. The men will run the course twice to reach the 10,000 meter mark.
