The loss dropped the Aggies to 11-3 on the year. “North Carolina has a good team,” A&M Coach David Kent said. “They just outplayed us.” A&M had to play without No. 3 singles player Marcel Vos, who is out with the flu. Vos also teams with Dean Goldfine to make up the No. 1 doubles team. The Aggies dropped each of the top three singles matches in straight sets. But Kent was pleased with No. 4 Brent Ha- garth’s 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Mark Demattis. “Brent broke out of his slump and played some real good ten nis,” Kent said. “That should help us in our upcoming matches.” The other Aggie win came from No. 5 Steve Kennedy, who defeated Don Johnson, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5. A&M will take on No. 6 SMU 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. SMU’s Richie Reneberg is the No. 1 sin gles player in the nation. “We hope to bounce back against SMU,” Kent said. “With Marcel back, we’ll have a shot at them.” AN i Altonio dining i aviiy in ■ Ada 11: -106 ■The third-pc i tolend i t Yeoman’s future at UH resist?:: on outcome of resolution ,h HOUSTON (AP) — The chair man of Houston’s athletic advisory committee said he wants a resolution passed severing all of former head football coach Bill Yeoman’s ties to the university. Documents released Monday quote a school booster saving Yeo man received about S11,000 cash so he could make traditional payments of $250 to $500 to players, a viola tion of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. The resolution will be presented at a committee meeting today, chair man Bruce Oppenheimer said. Monday’s revelations from Bay- town businessman Frank Terry con tradict a previous report by Yeoman in which he said h players money for huma reasons, but never more than The documents were c< during an in-house investie: a Houston law firm hired into allegations that Yeoman assistant coaches gave mo players.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday that Hardin was forced to leave the school because some members of the Board of Gov ernors felt the football program could not be competitive with a school president who watched it too closely. Hardin was SMU president from 1972 to 1974. He is now president of Drew University, a small liberal-arts college in New Jersey. Recounting his efforts to stop the bonus payments, Hardin said: “First, an infraction was reported by the parent of a player. I called Dave Smith, who was the athletic director at the time, and he admitted it was going on. “I cut his contract from three years to one year, placed him on probation and reported the violation to the Southwest Conference. One month later, I was asked to resign.” Hardin said the violations in volved players on specialty teams who were getting “a few' bucks for tackles, recovering fumbles and other things.” From the Associated Press The Big Ten, the only major con ference without a post-season tour nament, has a chance this year to make the NCAA tournament its own. With six teams in the field of 64 and four in the first 11 of the AP Top Twenty, the Conference could turn the Final Four in New Orleans into an All-Big Ten affair. “The poorest seed we got was nine,” Iowa Coach Tom Davis said. “Now all we’ve got to do is win some games.” Indiana is ranked No. 3, Iowa No. 6, Purdue No. 7 and Illinois No. 1 1 in the final Top Twenty, which might bode well for a meeting in New Orleans. But Illinois Coach Lou Henson remembers what happened last year when the Big Ten also put six teams in the tournament. “Last year, the top teams were rolled over by upsets in the first round,” Henson said. “I think that will happen again.” Last year’s conference champion Michigan beat Akron 70-64 before being eliminated 72-60 by Iowa State. Indiana fell 83-79 to Cleveland State in the opening round last year and Purdue lost 94-87 in double overtime in the first round to Final Four-bound Louisiana State. Iowa was eliminated in the open ing round 66-64 by North Carolina State and Illinois beat Fairfield 75- 51 before losing to Alabama 58-56. Michigan State, which did not make the NCAA field this year, went the farthest of any Big Ten team last year, defeating Washington 72-70 and Georgetown 80-68 before losing to Kansas 96-86. Ohio State, which is the ninth seed in the Southeast Regional this year, won the National Invitational Tour nament last year after finishing sev enth in the Big Ten under former- Coach Eldon Miller. Ohio State, 19- 12, has a first-round game Friday at Atlanta against Kentucky, 18-10. Michigan, the Big Ten’s other ninth-seeded team with a 19-11 sea son record, plays Navy, 26-5, in a first-round East Regional game Thursday at Charlotte, N.C. Indiana, the Big Ten champs at 24-4 overall, is in the NCAA tourna ment for the 16th time. The Hoo- siers are top seeded in the Midwest and play Fairfield, 15-15, on Thurs day at Indianapolis. Iowa, second seeded in the West at 27-4, plays Santa Clara, 18-13, on Friday in Tucson.

Since I’ve been at Indiana,lc remember when we’ve had I teams with such good records Knight is all for letting theM- tournament stand in for a coni ence tournament. “From a coaching standpoi® don’t like one tournamentleadinj another,” Knight said. Tmonl' terested in one tournament-- NCAA — and everything we Jf pointed towards that.” Purdue Coach Gene Reads opposes a conference postsei* tournament. “I’m an old-fashioned fj Keady said. “I think 1 * championship should be deter® by the whole season.
