No, Jim Wacker wasn’t talking about a TCU football victory, he was ranting about the Texas basketball team’s upset of Texas A&M Wednesday night. Texas forward Mike Wacker, Jim’s son, took a jump shot from in side the lane with one second show ing on the clock. The ball rolled around the rim and fell through for a 53-51 Longhorn upset. “John (Brownlee) and I set up a double screen to try and punch the ball out to Carlton (Cooper),” Wacker said. “I wheeled to the mid dle and missed the shot. I just stayed with it and got the ball. It sure hung on the rim for a long time. The feel ing was just unbelievable when it fi nally feel through.” Texas Coach Bob Weltlich said Wacker was unbelievable. “The two plays Wacker made in the last minute and a half where he misses a shot and just follows after it until he makes it were just unbelie vable,” Weltlich said. “What a way for a senior to go out.” The Longhorn players began jumping up and down and hugging one another when the shot finally fell through and the buzzer sounded. As soon as they reached the locker room, Wacker started looking for mom and dad. Wacker found his parents to share perhaps the biggest moment in his unfortunate career. “It wasn’t my biggest win,” Wacker said. “They’re were a lot of big games before I got hurt. I would have to say this is the biggest win since I’ve been back. It’s a big win for the team and the program and it’s al ways nice to win in front of your folks.” Wacker hasn’t been back long. He went through three knee operations and two and a half years of rehabili tation before being able to play again this season. The San Marcos High School product said at times he felt like giv ing up. “It was tdugh,” Wacker said. “I was down at times, but I looked on it as something I didn’t have any con trol over. “When taking the ball out, I still feel some pain. I just block it out and keep playing.” Wacker has sure played as if the Photo by WA YNE GRABEIN Texas’ Mike Wacker (above) says the win over A&M Wednesday was the biggest since injuring his knee. knee injury has been blocked out of his mind. Wacker has hit in double figures in all 24 of the Longhorns’ games this season, shooting 60 percent from the field. Against A&M, Wacker was in classic form. He scored 22 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. The pros have crossed Wacker’s mind, but if that doesn't work out he might follow in dad’s footsteps and become a coach. “I don’t know what I am going to do,” Wacker said. “I might coach. I would like to give the pros a shot. I just depends if anyone wants me. “I’m not too quick and I can’t jump. I’m not going' to say I won’t give it a try.” That would be a unbeleeevable comeback story for an unbeleeevable player. Texas A&M Sportscope A&M baseball season opens Saturday The Texas A&M baseball team opens its 1985 season, under new head coach Mark Johnson, with a three-game series against Northeast ern Louisiana this weekend. Saturday — A&M vs. NE Louisiana (double-header) Sunday — A&M vs. NE Louisiana (single game) Both games scheduled for I p.m. at Olsen Field Ag netters host U.S. International Saturday, Feb. 23 — A&M Women vs. U.S. International Match scheduled for 1:30 p.m. TAMU Pistol Team travels to Arlington The Texas A&M Pistol Team, who is trying to make it back to nation als for the third straight year, travels to Arlington this weekend for the Intercollegiate Pistol Sectionals. The sectionals will run Friday through Sunday at the University of Texas at Arlington’s indoor rifle range.

A&M golfers travel to tough tourneys By PAUL HERNDON Reporter The Texas A&M golf teams will be on the road this weekend as their spring schedule gets into full swing. A&M Coach Bob Ellis takes his 18th-ranked men’s team to Sour Lake to compete in the Homberg Intercollegiate Tournament at the Pinewood Country Club, Feb. 22-24. The Homberg Intercollegiate is the second of six spring tourneys for the Aggie men before the Southwest Conference showdown in April. This year’s tourney will feature nine teams out of the 16-team field which were ranked in the Top 20 in the pre-season poll of college coaches: No. 1 Houston, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Arizona State, No. 9 Arkansas, No. 10 Lamar, the host team, No. 15 Texas, No. 17 LSU and No. 19 Missouri. Coach Ellis will be looking for Jorge Coghlan, an honorable mention All-American, to fill the gap left by a departed Philip Parkin. Parkin, a first team All-American, left the Aggies last season as a sophomore to join the professional circuit. Along with Coghlan, Jon Saffle, Flint Nelson, Paul Mayo and Scott Lee will represent the Aggies at this weekend’s tournament. Coach Kitty Holley’s women’s team will undoubtedly face its toughest test of the season this weekend in Gainsville, Fla. at the Lady Gator Invita tional. Six of the 15 teams competing in the tourney are ranked in the Top 20, inlcuding No. 1 Florida, the host team. No. 2 Miami, No. 8 Duke, No. 10 Mississippi and No. 16 Georgia. Holley’s Aggies will be looking for a strong perfomance from last year’s Lady Gator individual tournament champion, Angela Atkins. At last sea son’s tourney, Atkins shot a 220 for three rounds, including a 69 in the sec ond round to tie a tournament record. Atkins will be joined by Aggie golfers Fiona Conner, Susie Faccini, Pat ricia Gonzalez and Holly Frizzell.
