Assistant Sports Editor
“Moses. Moses. Moses,” echoed
through an empty G. Rollie White
Coliseum. Texas A&M guard Todd
Holloway was calling the Aggie La
dies’center— Michell Tatum.
The Aggie men’s team gave Ta
tum that title because they said she
played like NBA All-Star Moses Ma
lone of the Philadelphia 76ers.
“Most of the guys on the men’s
basketball team call me Baby Moses,”
Tatum said. “We both play a physi
cal style and really go after the of
fensive rebounds. I’m listed as 6-
foot-3 on the roster, but I’m really
only 6-foot 3/4, so I’m four inches
shorter than most players I go up
against.”
Tatum is indeed a, bully on the
boards. She is averaging 10.8 re
bounds per gam'e in Southwest Con
ference play, not to mention her 16
point scoring average.
“Getting good position is all you
have to do to get tne rebounds,” Ta
tum said. “You just have to block out
and know when the other players
are going to shoot.”
Tatum’s success has not come eas
ily, however. In the Aggie’s second
game this season against Sam Hons-,
ton, Tatum suffered a knee injury
which at the time seemed to signal
an end to her A&M career.
“I got hit from the outside and it
pushed my knee inside,” Tatum
said. “It tore my medial ligaments. It
was just a freak accident.”
Tatum heavily tapes her knee be
fore games and practices, but has en
countered a few problems. .
“When it gets cold, it aches,” Ta
tum laughed. “I was a little hesitant
at first. (A&M) Coach (Lynn) Hickey
worked me back into it slowly.
“I was really just glad to be back,
but it was hard to realize how many
limitations I had. I have a lot of
proving to do. I’m never satisfied.”
During her Jacksonville High
School career, Tatum earned All-
District, All-Region anti MVP in
1981. She was recruited by most
teams in the SWC and almost every
junior college in Texas.
The choice was easy for l atum af
ter she visited the A&M campus.
“I liked the corps,” Tatum said.
“The people were so friendly. Every
one said, ‘Howdy.’ I didn’t like the
atmosphere of t.u.”
The University of Texas was the
first team to recruit Tatum. This
season the Horns have a 24-2 record
anti are ranked No. 1 in the nation.
The Aggies are 12-12. Does Tatum
have any regrets?
"Winning isn’t everything,” she
s^id. “I’m proud of being an Aggie
and have enjoyed playing w'ith the
people on our team. You never
know what might have happened if I
had gone there.
“I didn’t want to jump into a win
ning team. I wanted to go where I
■ iid
con Id help out.”
She has done more than just help
out. As l aturn’s senior season draws
to a close, she wants nothing more
than to end it in a flurry.
ry pleased with this
d. ‘9
“I’ve been ver
season,” she said. “We weren't ex
pected to do much before the season
began. We lost some close games we
should have won, but we’re just
thinking about the games we have
left.
“I think we’re starting to reach
our peak now. We’re getting to know
where our teammates are going to
be on the lloor. We’ll probably get
into the (Southwest Conference)
tournament. We want to lx* the un
derdog. We want to go in and sur
prise some people.
“That reminds me of North Caro
lina State (when they won the Na
tional Championship in 1983).
That's what I dream about."
Tatum, is currently the Aggies'ca
reer scoring leader, having passed
teammate Jenni Edgar Wednesday
night. If her current rebounding av
erage continues, she will leave A&M
with an average of 13 rebounds per
game, another Aggie record.
‘It’s always a good feeling to have
tr name in the record books,” she
youi
said. “But, it won’t mean that much
if we don’t do well the rest of the sea
son. I couldn’t have done it without
the four others on the floor and the
six or seven on the bench.”

The No. 14 Texas A&M men’s
tennis team overcame wind, driz
zling rain and the underrated
Northeast Louisiana Indians' to re-
cprd its eighth dual-match win of the
year Thursday at the Omar Smith
Tennis Center.
“This is a great win for us,” said
A&M Coach David Kent. “Northeast
Louisiana has got a great team.
You’re gonna really hear from them
in the national rankings. We’re
really lucky to have eaked out a win
because it was close out there.”
The standings were tied going
into the doubles matches at three
singles victories apiece. Marcel Vos,
who hadn’t lost a match all season,
was beaten in straight sets ami there
were three three-set matches and
four tie-breakers.
In fact, the Aggies could have
been down 4-2 alter singles play
were it not for the comeback win by
Kimmo Alkio in No. 2 singles.
Alkio, trailing 5-4 in the third and
final set, fought off (wo match points
to win the game and went on to win
die match on a passing shot.
“I've seen him do it time and time
again,” Kent said. “Kimmo has a
heart this (stretching his arms w ide')
big. And Marcel and Greg (Hill)
came back from not playing ver\
well in singles to just play super in
doubles.
