The No.2-ranked SMU tennis
team is waiting in Dallas for the
Aggies, and the Mustangs’ assis
tant coach says his team will be
physched up and ready to play
Friday.
“The word is out that the
Aggies have a tough team,” Pe
ter Rudy said, “and we know we
have to be ready to play.
“We play TCU on Saturday
and they’re ranked 8th in the
country. We definitely have a
rough weekend of tennis com
ing up. We’re just trying to get
mentally prepared. We need to
get ready and try our best.”
Southern Methodist Univer
sity has been playing strong dou
bles lately, Rudy said, but it’s the
depth of the singles players that
probably give the team its
greatest advantage.
“We have seven really good
players that can beat anybody,”
Rudy said. “They’ve been play
ing some exceptional tennis
lately.”
But records and rankings
speak for themselves and teams
playing SMU hear the statistics
loud and clear.
The Mustangs’ Rodney Har
mon is the No. 1 singles player in
the nation and has a 21-4 record.
SMU’s overall record is identical
to Harmon’s, and the team’s
ranking was also the same until a
7-2 loss last week to No. 3-
ranked UCLA dropped them to
second. The victory moved
UCLA to the No. 1 position
nationwide.
Rudy said being the top team
in the country was not one of
SMU’s goals at the beginning of
the year.
“We started out at No. 5 in the
pre-season polls, but those don’t
really mean much,” he said. “We
weren’t really trying to get a
No. 1 ranking. We really had our
sights on the NCAA champion
ships at the end of the year.
WeTe gearing up for that tour
nament and hope! ully we’ll
come home winners.
“We know we have a good
team that could win it all, so
we’re just trying to play every
match at our best.”
However, the players are not
the only high quality members
of the SMU team.
Tennis professional Dennis
Ralston is in his second year as
head coach of the Mustangs and
Rudy said it was great to have
such a high caliber player
coaching at the college level.
“This is his first job as a uni
versity coach,” Rudy said. “He’s
coached many pros — Stan
Smith, Roscoe Tanner, Dick
Stockton, Brian Gottfried. Right
now, he’s also working with
Chris Evert Lloyd. He’s really a
great coach.

DALLAS — The Dallas
Mavericks and Utah Jazz deli
vered an excellent example
Wednesday night of that old Na
tional Basketball Association ad
age — ’ just because it happened
last night doesn’t mean it will
happen again tonight.”
On Tiesday evening the Jazz
clobbered Dallas in Salt Lake
City, 129-114, with Adrian
Dantley scoring his normal 40
points against the Mavericks.
Twenty-four hours later the
same two teams stumbled into
each other at Reunion Arena
and the results were quite diffe
rent. Dallas not only ran away
from the Jazz, 123-109, but
Dantley was held to the unusual
ly low total of 14 points.
Dantley, the NBA’s third
leading scorer with an average
of 30.5 points per contest,
scored only two points in the
first half Wednsday night as the
Mavericks opened their largest
first-quarter lead ever.
Dallas’ rookie combination of
Jay Vincent and Mark Aguirre
combined for 52 points — 31 of
them coming from Vincent.
“We were embarrased last
night,” said Aguirre, who had
made a futile attempt to guard
Dantley in the Jazz’ victory. “We
didn’t show anything. Coach
(Dick) Motta said we had to get
going tonight.”
Dantley showed his frustra
tion by picking up three fouls in
the first half and was never a
factor in the game.
Utah had won three in a row
coming into its second straight
meeting with the Mavericks, but
