Texas A&M’s Kimmo Alkio (above) and the rest of the No. 9
Aggie men’s tennis team will compete today through Satur
day in the Corpus Christi Team Tournament. Including
A&M, the tourney features five teams ranked in the Top 20.
The team has played well so far
is year, as its No. 9 national rank-
proves. but Kent said he feels
A&M has played at least one bad
atch this year.
“Trinityjust simply outplayed and
utfought us,” he said. “We just
dn’t play up to our potential. We
hope to play Trinity again in Cor
pus."
The Aggies might get that chance
to revenge that loss because Trinity’s
Tigers are in the same tournament
bracket with A&M.
If Trinity defeats the winner of
the University of Arkansas at Little
Rock-University of Wichita match
Wednesday and A&M wins its First
match Thursday, the two teams
would meet again in the quarter-fi
nals.
If the Aggies then downed the Ti
gers, A&M would advance to the
semi-finals and most likely play No.
13 Arkansas.
“Our goal this year is to get in the
Top 10 and stay there,” Kent said.
“For the tennis team to stay in the
Top 10 the team has to have some
quality wins against teams such as
USC, UCLA, and Pepperdine.”
Over spring break, the Aggies will
be hoping to pad their record
against some of the nation’s perren-
mal powerhouses. A&M travels to
California to play No. 2 USC, No. 4
UCLA and No. 5 Pepperdine.
“We’re going out there with the
intent of knocking one of those
teams off,” Kent said. “If we could
beat one of the three, that would
really help us stay in the Top 10.”

Ag Ladies knocked out
of conference tourney
HOUSTON — The Texas A&M
women’s basketball team found out
Tuesday night in Hofheinz Pavilion
that the third time isn’t necessarily a
charm.
After having upset Houston twice
during the regular season, the Aggie
Ladies felt the wrath of the Cougars’
revenge in the First round of the
Southwest Conference Post-Season
Basketball Tournament, 84-72.
The loss left A&M with a 14-14
overall record in Coach Lynn Hick
ey’s First season.
A&M found itself down at half
time, 32-47, after trailing by as much
as ten points in the First half.
“We had a terrible start,” Hickey
said. “We knew the first five minutes
were important, but Houston was
hot this time. They had too much
talent for (another loss to the Ag
gies) to happen again.
“We had no momentum and we
were totally confused. We just didn’t
execute and do the things we’ve
done recently.”
Lisa Langston led the Ags in scor
ing with 22 points and handed out a
team-high six assists.
A&M seniors Jenni Edgar and
Ann Trinka added 16 and 14 points
respectively. Trinka led the team in
rebounds with 10.
Houston’s offensive attack saw
three players go over the 20-point
mark. UH’s Neil Haskins hit a game-
high 26 points and Monica Lamb
and Sonya Watkins chipped in 22
apiece.
With the victory, the Lady Cou
gars advance to the semi-final round
of the tournament, held in Dallas’
Moody Coliseum Thursday. Hous
ton will tangle with No. 17 Texas
Tech, which captured second-place
during the SWC regular season and
received a bye along with No. 1
Texas in the opening round.
In the other SWC first round ac
tion Tuesday night, Arkansas de-
A&M’s Lisa Langston scored

Baylor alumnus accused
of setting up Illegal loans
Associated Press
DALLAS — Two Dallas high
school basketball stars obtained cars
with loans from a Waco bank,
headed by a Baylor booster, soon af
ter they signed with Baylor Univer
sity in 1983 and 1984, the Dallas
Times Herald reported Tuesday.
Bear players Michael Williams
and DeWayne Brown obtained loans
with significantly smaller payments
during the school year than during
the summer, the Times Herald said.
National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation rules prohibit a school’s staff
member or representative of its ath
letic interests from arranging loans
for prospective student-athletes
prior to completion of their senior
year in high school, said David Berst,
the NCAA’s director of enforce
ment.
The cars were purchased from
US
Dallas auto dealerships with loans
from Westview National Bank of
Waco less than a month after Wil
liams and Brown signed national let
ters of intent to play at Baylor, in
April 1983 and April 1984, the
newspaper said.
The bank officer who handled
both loans, William Martin, told the
Times Herald he was instructed to
work with the players’ families by
bank president Smith Thomasson, a
Baylor alumnus and friend of Coach
Jim Haller.
Haller resigned Feb. 22 after ad
mitting to school officials that he
gave a reserve center, John Wheeler
of Dallas, a university check for $172
to make three monthly car pay
ments.
Haller told the Times Herald he
did not remember whether or not he
directed Williams and Brown to the
Waco bank, now known as the
United Bank of Waco.
Thomasson said his bank tries to
help “all Baylor students, not just
athletes, with their financial needs.
“I’m a Baylor University gradua
te,” Thomasson said. “I want to help
Baylor. We’ll get a loan to a basket
ball player and a loan to a tuba
player from Tupelo, Mississippi.”
