Lopez l' Battalion Statt Tl'exas A&M has played the Jm(i t of David several times while Hocking off tennis Goliaths on its way to an impressive 18-4 re- cc6d, but the No. 2-ranked SMU Mlistangs threw a few stones of tEit t own Tuesday in an 8-1 win oSjt r the Aggies. J d'here was no one weapon thtit wiped out Texas A&:M, riitlier the entire SMU arsenal was lethal. From top to bottom the Mustangs flexed their mus cles in an impressive win over a fie ty Aggie team that didn’t bo ■ out without a battle. ■ Nationally-ranked No. 1 singles player Rodney Harmon slewed why he is worthy of his kify status as he defeated the Nh 1 Aggie singles player Brian jpet Ison in straight sets b-0, 6-1. HTexas A&M got its win in the No. 1 doubles match when Joel- son and Tom Judson defeated A&M’s Kimmo Alkio lost close match against SMU Eric Korita and Jerome Vanier 5-7, 6-3, 6-4. The doubles win was espe cially sweet for Judson who barely lost to Korita in the No. 2 singles match. Judson gave Tom Judson and partner Brian Joelson won for A&M Korita a scare, but finally lost to Korita 7-6, 7-6. The rest of the SMU wins went like this: Vanier defeated Judson 6-4, 6-3. John Ross defeated Greg Hill 6-7, 7-6, 6-3. Erick Van’t Hof defeated Ron Kowal 6-1, 6-3. Mark Styslinger defeated Arnold Kettenacker 6-3, 5-7, 7- 5. Harmon and Van’t Hof defe ated Kowal and Hill 5-7, 6-2, 6- 3. and Ross and Forsythe defe ated Alkio and Barry 6-7, 6-3, 6-3. Despite the convincing loss to SMU, Aggie head coach David Kent said Texas A&M did them selves proud against a great team. “I feel the score is mislead ing,” Kent said. “We played well today. Kimmo Alkio had a great match up against Eric Korita. We can make no excuses. We lost to an excellent team.” The Aggies’ next match will be at home against Baylor March 31 at 1:30 p.m. When - Jr'cZl- , Sat. i h'lA.R ^4* \A/hene - Trophies - 1* r ; 2.“°, 3"“ * 4-™ - -TE l CT e2*'* l> “ INJDIVIC>UA.I_ Entry Fee- FTEK -nEAJN'l Contact- F'jpKie.L-i- ZC^O - 3>-2f7 2. -rave F<’LJf='F r Njeie 24,0-339 1 Southwest Conference officials bragging on athletic programs OF V?/?

[- San Diego blew out Houston 128-98 behind Michael Brooks’ lame-high 25 points to hand the Ibckets their l()th loss in 11 §|mnes.

All three sat out the entire fourth quarter. Houston managed to get within 12 points at 59-47 early in the second half but the Clippers went on a 27-6 scoring binge to put the game away. Elvin Hayes had 22 points and Joe Bryant had 21, both in reserve, but only one other Rocket was in double Figures. “When you’re a team that people consider poor, it seems you come into play with nothing to lose,” San Diego rookie Terry Cummings said. “We played hard and it was fun.

We could win 30 games or more this year.” Get Your Xerox Copies at Northgate Above Farmer’s Market Inexpensive, High-Quality Copies We Specialize In REPORTS and DISSERTATIONS Also: Self-service copying, typing, reductions and enlargements, binding, resume writing, editing, business cards, wedding invitations, stationery and many other services.
