It was short, but sweet for the
Texas A&M men’s tennis team Sun
day as it knocked off host Arizona to
win the Arizona Team Tournament.
Due to rain delays earlier in the
tournament and A&M needing to
catch a plane home, it was decided to
stop Finals play when either A&M or
Arizona first earned five match vic
tories. The Aggies won Five straight
singles matches to claim the win.
“We played our best tennis yet this
season today,” A&M Men’s Tennis
Coach David Kent said. “This team
is simply getting better all the time.”
A&M beat New Mexico and lost to
Wichita State earlier in the tourney,
while Arizona beat both teams to set
up Sunday’s Final.
The A&M women’s team, mean
while, were in the South Friday and
Saturday for matches with Tulane
and South Alabama.

An organizational meeting for all
students interested in trying out for
the 1986 Texas A&M Twelfth Man
kickoff team will be Wednesday at 4
p.m. at the football locker room un
der the west stands of Kyle Field.
“Statistically we were the top kick
off coverage team in the Southwest
Conference last year,” Twelfth Man
Coach Roy Kokemoor, a former as
sistant at A&M Consolidated, said.
“It went hand-in-hand with the
team’s success and these guys have a
great feeling about what they accom
plished.”
Kokemoor stressed that the idea
of the Twelfth Man team is that ev
erybody has a shot at it.
“That’s what the organizational
meeting is for,” Kokemoor said. “We
want to get names and find out
who’s interred, then give some in
formation about tryouts.”
The Twelfth Man kickoff team
was the idea of A&M Coach Jackie
Sherrill. It was and still is an oppor
tunity for any member of the stu
dent body to try out for the Aggie
football team.

Besides serving as the kickoff cov
erage team for home games, the
team attends and works at every
practice.
The first Twelfth Man team in
1983 covered just ten kickoffs and
allowed 13.1 yards per try.
A&M’s Twelfth Man kickoff team stops a runner
in his tracks last season. The ’86 team begins with
an organizational meeting Wednesday at 4 p.m,
for all those students interested in trying out,
In 1984, the team covered 25
kicks and allowed an average of 16.6
yards.
This year, due to the record-set
ting Texas A&M offense, the team
covered 28 kickoffs and allowed just
14.2 yards per return by the oppo
nents.
The SWC championship year also
w a first when the Twelfth Man
made the last two road trips of the
year, against TCU and against Au
burn in the Cotton Bowl.
“Being on the Twelfth Man meant
a lot more than just covering kick
offs,” Twelfth Man Captain Dennis
Mudd, a senior from Yoakum, said.
“It meant helping to contribute to
the team’s success on Saturdays, but
it also enabled me to obtain a greater
understanding of just how special
Texas A&M spirit really is.
“To me, the most important as
pect was being able to stand on the
field and know are playing and rep
resenting every Aggie all over the
world, and that no matter what hap
pens, you are supported 100 per
cent.”
In 1985 the Twelfth Man surely
was the most publicized specialty
team in the country. Through
ESPN’s coverage of three Aggie
home games, analyst Paul Maguire
came to be one of the team’s biggs
fans.
“You bet 1 am,” Maguire said’ll
