Everybody seems to be beating the Texas Lon-
lorns these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy
do.
It wasn’t easy for Baylor Tuesday night, but the
ears did it in Austin, by a score of 62-59, and in
) doing eased into second place in the still-
mbled Southwest Conference chase.
“It was the biggest win of the year for us,” said
aylor coach Jim Haller, whose team has now won
lin a row. “I thought we played with poise
ihight.”
Baylor needed all the poise it could muster
■e the Longhorns, who were down by seven
|h 1:06 to play, actually had a chance to tie the
mtest in the final seconds.
But a 12-foot jump shot by Virdell Howland
fused to go in, which symbolizes the story for
pLonghorns during the second half of the sea-
m, and a free throw by Craig Kaiser with two
I nds left sealed the victory for Baylor,
he Bears thus moved to 9-5 in conference
a half game behind the league-leading
jrkansas Razorbacks, 9-4 in the conference.
Houston, meanwhile, moved into a tie with
as A&M for third place by virtue of a crucial
5 decision over TCU — a game in which
en-foot Nigerian Akeem Abdul Olajuwon
ked a school record eight shots.
CU, which began the night tied for second,
J)ped all the way to fifth because of the loss.
And in Dallas, the Rice Owls used the 25 points
fRicky Pierce to overwhelm last-place SMU, 70-
Rice remains in next-to-last place at 5-8, but the
Owls are suddenly only a game out of sixth place
which, if they could obtain it, would carry a home-
court advantage in the conference’s post-season
tournament.
Jay Shakir made nine of 10 free throws against
Texas Tuesday night, including six during the last
3:39 of the contest while the Bears were runninga
delay game.
Texas has now lost seven of its last nine — all of
the losses in conference play — and stands in
jeopardy of falling all the way to eighth place
before the season is over.
“We just couldn’t get any offense generated,”
said Longhorns coach Abe Lemons. “The defense
was all right, but we just couldn’t get anything
going on offense. We’re just struggling, that’s ab
out all you can say. We’re playing close but just
don’t have the velocity to get over it.”
TCU coach Jim Killingsworth didn’t linger on
the loss to Houston, even though it cost,the
Horned Frogs three places in the conference
standings.
“This is not a let down for us,” he said. “We
have two games to go. We knew Houston could
possibly beat us when we came down here. We
wanted to win the game, but we also have the
conference tournament to look forward to.”
The conference takes a rest until Saturday
when Texas will travel to Texas A&M for an tele
vised afternoon game. Meanwhile, Arkansas will
be at Rice, Houston goes to Baylor and Texas
Tech hosts SMU.

Playing at Texas A&M Tues
day, the men’s tennis team lost to
Trinity University in a meet that
Coach David Kent said could
have gone either way.
“They weren’t that much bet
ter than we were,” Kent said.
Freshman Kimmo Alkio lost
to Mark Pinchoff, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7,
and Tom Judson lost to David
Edges, 4-6, 6-2, 6-7.
“Those were two close ones to
lose. We played as good as we
could, and we don’t have any ex
cuses,” Kent said.
Freshman Greg Hill and
junior Ron Kowal had the only
two Aggie victories of the day.
Hill beat Kreg Yingst, 6-4, 7-
6, after trailing 1-5 in the second

set.
“I broke serve (at 1-5) and got
my confidence back. When I got
back down 5-6 (in the second
set), I hit some good shots and
got even more confident. The
crowd helped my game quite a
bit”, Hill said.
“I might not have been able to
come back if it weren’t for them
and the way they yelled for us.
This really helps my confi
dence.”
Kent said that a good turnout
for the match fueled the entire
team’s effort.
“We appreciate the great
crowd support. Best of all, they
acted well, as always,” he added.
The Aggie fans are quite a
change from the crowd at last
year’s meet against Trinity in
San Antonio. The Tigers’ fans
made it difficult for the Aggies
to compete, team captain Kowal
said.
“It was one of the worst exam
ples of crowd behavior that I’ve
ever seen,” Kowal said.
Kowal won Tuesday, coming
from behind to beat Chris Ken
nedy, 6-4, 6-4.
Mike Pazourek, however, lost
the number one singles match
7-6, 6-3, to Charles Honey. He
lost the first set tie-breaker five
points to seven points.
Brian Joelson played the
number two match and was
beaten by Tom Warneke, 6-4,
6-3. Joelson was down 1-5 in the
first set but fought back to 4-5
before Warneke finally won.
In doubles competition, the
Aggies lost two three-set match
es. Edges-Yingst beat Alkio-Hill,
3-6, 6-4, 7-5, and Warneke-
Pinchoff defeated Pazourek-
Joelson, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
Judson-Kowal lost the other
match, 6-4, 6-3, to Honey-
Kennedy.
“We need improvement in
doubles,” Kent said. “That’s
where we’re weak.”
This is the first loss of the
spring for the Aggies, who are
ranked 20th in the nation.
Hill said that the lOth-ranked
Trinity Tigers are among the
best opponents the Aggies will
face.
“I figure there’s not going to
be that many players tougher
than these guys,” he said.
Season high
Aggie Ladies’ 87 points too much for UH
by Denise Sechelski
Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M women’s
basketball team, led by Kelley
Sullivan with 18 points, defeated
the University of Houston 87-76
Tuesday night in Houston.
The Aggie Ladies posted
their highest point total of the
season, avenged an earlier 76-37
loss to the Cougars, and boosted
their season record to 9-18 With
the victory.
The Ladies, who were tied 39-
39 with the Cougars at halftime,
shot 52 percent from the field
and 77 percent from the free
throw line.
“We played aggressive man-
to-man defense almost the en
tire game,” assistant coach Cin
dy Gough said.
Other Ladies in double fi
gures were Kelly Krauskopf
with 16, Michell Tatum with 16,
and Romy Gandy with 10.
Houston’s leading scorer was
Tylenia Nichols with 22 points.
The Cougars shot 56 percent
from the field and 78 percent
from the free throw line.
As the TAIAW state tourna
ment draws near, Texas A&M
has won two of its last three
games against Southwest Con
ference opponents. The Ladies
defeated SMU 55-53 a week ago,
but dropped a 70-60 game to
Arkansas Friday night.
The Aggie Ladies play at 6
p.m. Friday in G. Rollie White
Coliseum. They face the Univer
sity of Texas at San Antonio in
the first round of the state play
offs.
Gough said that anyone who
attends the women’s game on
Friday and has tickets for the
men’s game with the University
of Texas on Saturday will be
admitted to Saturday’s game 15
minutes early.
