Alkio lost to Jansson 6-2, 6-3 Sunday at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. Alkio and Marcel Vos reached the semifinals in doubles. Bobby Kleinecke said, although the Ags’ singles players didn’t do well, he thought, as a team, A&M played better than in its last tournament. “That’s (the doubles win) a super win for us,” Kleinecke said. Kleinecke added it’s an especially big win for A&M since Texas was ranked in the Top 10 in the nation last year. “It’ll give us a lot of confidence for doubles,” he said, “because both of our doubles teams made the semi-fi nals.” ANNOUNCES FALL 85 MICRO FAIR - Clul> UB y.jeain» joiitli Caf. ;08, Fuf WITH PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS BY APPLE AT&T IBM HEWLETT-PACKARD MICROSOFT ZENITH AND OTHER LOCAL VENDORS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS THE DIAMOND DARLINGS OCTOBER 9-10,1986 MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER 2ND FLOOR, ROOM 224 9:30 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.
