ies fall to injuries in ITCA tourney
By Loyd Brumfield
Assistant Sports Editor
Well, it could have been worse.
|';The Texas A&M women’s tennis
team encountered some rough
weather at the Intercollegiate Ten
nis Coaches Association tennis tour
nament in Austin Thursday. Only
one player re-
jmaiiis alive in WOf¥l©n S
the singles com- Tennis
petition and
three more have fallen to injuries,
including top player Kim Labus-
Chagne.
i A.VM’s Cindy Crawford drew a
bye in the first round and then de
feated Maria Vinterstad of the Uni
versity of Texas at Tyler 6-2, 6-2.
Crawford will face SMU’s Rene Sim
pson today in the quarterfinal
round. Simpson advanced by beat
ing Laura Liong of A&M 6-1,6-4.
The eighth-seeded Labuschagne,
who was already fighting a pulled
groin muscle, injured her other
groin muscle and lost her match to
Tulane’s Cynthia Bibb 6-7, 1-6.
A&M’s Gaye Lynne Gensler also
fell prey to injuries as she twisted her
knee with the score tied 3-3 in the
first set of her match with Alice Vo-
dicka of Rice. The injury forced
Gensler to default the match.
Rounding out the injury report,
Kellie Dorman of A&M suffered a
sprained stomach muscle before her
match with the University of Texas’
Lanae Renschler. Dorman also had a
nagging back injury to contend with
as she lost to Renschler, 1-6, 1-6.
In other action, A&M’s Missy
Kibler won by default over Emily
Cates of Rice but lost to Jana Clepac
of Trinity in the second round, 0-6,
3-6.
Injuries also plagued the Aggies
in doubles action. Dorman’s ailments
forced her and Kibler to default
their match to Jean-Marie Sterling
and Lisa Pamantuan of SMU, and
Gensler and Labuschagne defaulted
to Jennifer Zannelli and Holly
Pugsly of North Texas State Univer
sity.
In the remaining doubles match,
Crawford and Liong lost to Vodicka
and Lori Cronk of Rice.
A&M Coach Bobby Kleinecke
took the long day in stride.
“If the injuries hadn’t happened
to so many of the team, it would be
depressing,” he said.
Kleinecke said the team had to
.pull together and overcome the dis
appointing start.
“We have to shake it off,” he said.
“The girls need to keep their heads
up and say, ‘We’re going to get after
them in the spring.’
“This is something that happens
to every team eventually, but unfor
tunately it hit us all at once.”
Kleinecke praised Labuschagne’s
determination to play despite her in
juries.
“I’ve got to give Kim credit,” he
said. “To come in and play like she
did and finish the match is really ex
traordinary.”

A&M heads to El Paso
for Sun Bowl tourney
The Texas A&M men’s tennis
team is in El Paso this weekend to
participate in the Sun Bowl Invita
tional Tournament, which begins to
day and ends
Sunday. Men’s Tennis
The team is
coming off a good performance at
the SWC Indoors last weekend, with
the team of Brent Haygarth and
Dean Johnson capturing the No. 1
doubles crown and Dean Goldfine
and Lars Rosene grabbing the No. 3
doubles championship.
The Aggies also picked up three
singles championships as Chris Sta-
nich won at No. 4, Jeff Livshitz won
at No. 6 and Rosene won at No. 7.
The Sun Bowl tournament is a
single-elimination competition, and
other teams participating are North
east Louisiana, Arizona State and
the University of Utah.
A&M Coach David Kent said he is
looking forward to the tournament.
“We’ve been playing very, very
well this fall,” he said. “This tourna
ment will give us a chance to play
some really different teams.”
Kent said workouts during the
week have been good and the team
should be completely healthy with
the return of top player Marcel Vos,
who missed the SWC Indoors be
cause of a groin injury.
“Getting him back will be a real
shot in the arm for us,” Kent said.
Haygarth and Johnson enter the
tournament as A&M’s No. 1 doubles
team, with Vos and Goldfine as the
No. 2 duo. Freshman Jeff Livshitz
and sophomore James Frank will be
the No. 3 team.
Kent said he expects Utah to be
the toughest test for the Aggies.
“They have an excellent team and
we’ll have to be at the top of our
game against them,” he said.
Mets' Johnson, Knight wont pay raises
NEW YORK (AP) — Reality re-
euphoria on the New York
^■Thursday, as Manager Davey
Johnson asked for a raise and third
^pfiian Ray Knight urged the club
to give him a better deal and not
break up a World Series champion.
Johnson has two years remaining
on his contract, but is seeking more
money, according to published re-
portsi because his agreement guar
antees he will be paid as much as any
I Gomes New pork Yankees’manager.
Lou Piniella, the Yankees’ man
ager, recently received a new' con-
0 tractyvhidi gives him $600,000 over
two years. Johnson’s contract, which
C runslhrough 1988, pays him an av-
0 erageof $225,000 a year.
Johnson was in Japan to manage a
QStt Bn on an exhibition tour, but
0 "■ ;;llnight: was in New York to receive
his second Most Valuable Player
Award of the recently completed
World Series. He said he went into
contract negotiations with the Mets
feeling he does not figure in their
plans.
“The organization has never done
anything to make me feel wanted,”
Knight said, who is seeking a two-
year contract or more money on a
one-year deal the club offered him.
He said the outcome of his nego
tiations will have a significant bear
ing on the club’s makeup.
“If I sign, then you make available
certain people to trade. If I don’t
sign, it’s a whole different ball
game.”
He said Mets’ management does
not seem to realize the importance
of keeping together a winning unit.
“The cohesiveness and blend of a
ball club is so very, very important,”
Knight said.
He said he was still hopeful of
coming to an agreement with Gen
eral Manager Frank Cashen, but will
file for free agency today to “protect
myself.”
“I want to play for two more
years,” said Knight, who will be 34 in
December.
Knight was intervievyed after re
ceiving an MVP trophy and 1987
Volvo 740 Turbo from Sport Mag
azine. He was selected as the winner
by a panel of seven players with the
participation of the players’ union.
He also won the Series MVP
Award approved by the baseball
commissioner’s office and decided
by a vote of the media who covered
the Series.
Knight hit .298 with 76 runs bat
ted in during 1986 after winning the
third base job with a hot streak early
in the season.
Johnson’s contract was described
as “an internal matter” by Mets
spokesman Dennis D’Agostino and
the club had no comment. Cashen
was not available.
Newsday quoted Johnson as say
ing, “The intent (of a clause in his
contractj is that they (the Mets) have
To renegotiate my contract when Pi
niella gets a raise. ... I had that put in
so I wouldn’t be embarrassed, in
terms of money, in New York.”
“We won this year, and I had
something to do with it,” said John
son, who has won 296 games in three
years as manager of the Mets and
guided them to the seven-game vic
tory over the Red Sox in the World
Series. “I’d like to be rewarded.”

Houston 1 :
HOUSTON (AP) — New York
Mets pitcher Ron Darling and sec-
fia baseman Tim Teufel will go to

two off-duty police officers at a
ouston nightclub in July, a judge

The Mets beat the Boston Red
x earlier in the week to win the
orlll Series.
Dick DeGuerin, the players’ attor-
iey, said a dismissal of charges —
and perhaps even an apology from
the police officers involved in the
scuffle — would be more in order.
“They’re not guilty,” DeGuerin
said. “I’m confident Harris County
jurors will be fair.”
Darling, 25, and Teufel, 28, were
arrested July 19 outside Cooler’s
nightclub in Houston along with
Mets pitchers Bob Ojeda, 28, and
Rick Aguilera, 24.
Police officer D.L. Bristley, who
was working off-duty as a security
guard at Cooters, said Teufel tried
to leave the club premises with an al
coholic beverage, a violation of state
law.
Bristley said a fight broke out
when he tried to prevent Teufel
from leaving with the drink. He ac
cused Teufel of hitting him with his

and prosecutors say Darling grabbed
R.G. Gresham — another police offi
cer working security — by the throat
during the scuffle.
The two players pleaded innocent
to a charge of aggravated assault on
a police officer — a third-degree fel
ony that carries a maxium 10-year
prison term and $5,000 in fines.
Ojeda and Aguilera were charged
with hindering arrest, a misdemea
nor. DeGuerin said a hearing for
Ojeda and Aguilera has been re
scheduled for Jan. 26 to coincide
with the hearing for Teufel and Dar-
ling.
Anderson, an assistant Harris
County District Attorney, said De
Guerin called him during the play
off series between the Mets and
Houston Astros and “asked for a
plea bargain agreement.”
The prosecutor would not discuss
specifics of the conversation.
DeGuerin said he has talked to
Anderson about the case but denied
discussing a plea bargain involving a
guilty plea.
“We have never offered to plead
guilty ... ever,” DeGuerin said. “It
won’t happen. It’s not going to hap
pen.” He said none of the four play
ers want to plead guilty.
The Houston attorney said his cli
ents would not discuss the case. But
when asked what he thought about
coming to Houston next year to play
the Astros, Darling said: “I’ve always
enjoyed myself here and I think I
still will.”
“I’ve made friends here,” Darling
said.
