TOURNAMENT

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.

United Press International
JPpALLAS — Southwest Con
ference officials are claiming
biagging rights among the
colmtry’s athletic conferences
for having the most successful
programs.
■ In its 1982-83 seasons, the
SWC produced the only undefe
ated major-college football team
in the country, won the NCAA
iniloor track championship, and
lhajd the No. 1 teams in basket
ball, golf, swimming and base-
■l. The SWC also expects to
have the top tennis team when
thr new rankings come out next
Week. Highlights of the year in
clude:
■ FOOTBALL: SMU was the
only undefeated major-college
team in the country as three
S\VC teams made it to postsea-
sojn bowl play and won two;
I BASKETBALL: Houston
was ranked No. 1 nationally in
tfic Final wire-service polls of the
sftison, with Arkansas also in the
top Five. Well into postseason
play, Houston, Arkansas and
FLU are among the 32 teams
sfill alive in the JVCAA and Na
tional Invitational tournaments;
TRACK AND FIELD: SMU
is the 1983 NCAA indoor cham
pion as the SWC placed three
teams in the top six and Five in
the top 32 Finishers of the na
tional meet two weeks ago.
Arkansas Finished third, Hous
ton sixth, Texas Tech 26th and
Baylor 32nd among the nation’s
267 Division I schools. SMU’s
Robert Weir holds the world re
cord in the 35-pound weight
and teammate Keith Connor
held the world indoor record in
the triple jump until last winter.
And SWC athletes have been re
sponsible for five of the last 11
NCAA indoor and outdoor re
cords;
SWIMMING: Texas is fa
vored to win the NCAA cham
pionships scheduled Thursday
through Saturday in Indianapo
lis with SMU expected to be
among four schools challenging
the Longhorn swimmers.
Among the SWC standouts are
three world record holders —
Texas’ William Paulus in the 100
butterfly and SMU teammates
Steve Lundquist in the 100
breaststroke and Ricardo Prado
in the 400 individual medley;
GOLF: Houston is ranked
No. 1 in the most recent national
poll of golf coaches with two
other SWC entries in the top five
— Texas in fourth place after
winning four straight tourna
ments this year and Texas A&M
in Fifth. Houston is seeking its
15th national title and second
straight. Cougar sophomore Bil
ly Ray Brown will defend his in
dividual NCAA title;
BASEBALL: Texas is ranked
first and Houston fourth in the
national poll of baseball coaches.
The Longhorns are 25-7 for the
season and Houston has a 27-2
record after reeling off a record
string of 20 straight victories.
Texas A&M is now ranked 17th
in the nation;
TENNIS: The only varsity
sport in which the SWC doesn’t
have a champion or national
leader — and that should
change in the next poll of
coaches due Monday. SMU is
currently No. 2, but since the last
poll the Mustangs scored a 7-2
victory over No. 1 Pepperdine
and then followed with convinc
ing victories over No. 3 UCLA
and No. 5 USC — all on the Cali
fornia schools’s home courts.
The sweep gave SMU the ITCA
national team title and the vic
tory over UCLA was only the
ninth home loss by a Bruin team
in the last 24 seasons. The SWC
has four teams in the top 20 and
six of the top 50 singles players.

»SAN DIEGO — San Diego
and Houston are going nowhere
this season but the Rockets seem
to be getting there faster.
■; With the worst record in the
NBA, 12-56, Houston ran into a
IShzzsaw Tuesday night in San
Diego, where the Clippers are
only 23-46.
[- 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.
J- San Diego led by as many as
35 points at 109-74 with 9:42 left
to play.
Lionel Hollins added 23
points, while rookie Terry Cum-
Hiings had 18 and Tom Cham
bers had 16. 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. That’s the
way it should be. I don’t think we
have any quitters on this team.
We could win 30 games or more
this year.”
