We’re going to have to play better against Illinois and Mississippi State.” The Aggies’ number one player, Lynn Staley, came back to defeat Su san Mainz in three sets, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. A&M’s number two player, Lisa Kel ler, made things look a little easier in beating North Texas’ Lori DeLaat 6- 2,6-0. In doubles action, A&M’s Keller and Robyn Mawdsley defeated UNT’s Mainz and Jennifer Zanelli 6- 3, 6-3 and A&M’s Staley and Cindy Churchwell, who did not compete in singles, defeated UNT’s Alex Liske and Holly Ricker 6-2, 6-4. In the third doubles match, A&M’s Derryn Haygarth and Susan Williams beat DeLaat and Holly Pugsley 6-3, 6-0. Kleinecke was pleased with the doubles matches. “We played great doubles — we can play with anybody in our doub les,” Kleinecke said. In other singles play, A&M’s Wil liams overcame Zanelli 6-4, 6-1, A&M’s Mawdsley defeated Liske 6- 3, 6-1 and Lady Aggie Traci Nix beat Pugsley 6-2, 7-5. Haygarth suf fered A&M’s sole loss, to UNT’s Ricker, 6-2, 6-4. In an unofficial match of extra players, Lady Aggie Joanne Maki downed North Texas’ Andi Arledge 6-1,6-0. The next action for the Lady Ag gies is Friday against Illinois begin ning at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. Ags sweep twinbill atSWTSU 6-1, 2-0 By Steven Merritt ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The Texas A&M baseball team kepi its undefeated record intact Tuesday as the Aggies swept a dou bleheader in San Marcos, defeating Southwest Texas State 6-1,2-0. Game one scoring got underway early for the Aggies, who had seven hits in the game, as an Andy Duke single brought home third baseman John Byington in the top of the sec ond. Byington had walked earlier in the inning and advanced to second base on a fielder’s choice. Freshman left fielder Trey Witte and designated hitter Jeff Bernet both singled in the fifth, leaving leadoff batter Kirk Thompson with a prime run-producing opportunity. With Southwest Texas expecting a Photo by Jay Janner A&M’s Lynn Staley beat UNT’s Susan Mainz in three sets. bunt to move the players over, Thompson ripped a double into the right center field gap to score Witte and move Bernet to third. After an intentional walk to sec ond baseman Terry Taylor and a pop out by shortstop Chuck Knob lauch, Byington brought Bernet home on a sacrifice fly to left field making the score 3-0. The Bobcats scored their only run of the game in the fifth on a solo See Baseball/Page 8 however, displayed: : style. “Toy Soldien.' utilizes a melodic lint as tribal in its resell heating of tom-toms ‘ piece’s American In \ The title came fra vho, upon hearingt :d him of toy soldiers lections, Story told is dotes that often dec ce of the piece’s till this remarkably tar ense of humor, ie music that madeik emorable one.

I say.it was a privilege because I got to see what it was like playing in front of a real crowd. For only the second time this season, A&M played a game in front of a crowd of over i,000. 7,590 people showed up. I’ve never seen so much orange in my life. There were a few Aggies there. It even looked like they were being led in a yell practice by someone who looked like a cadet. I really couldn’t tell as they were conveniently seated in the nose-bleed section. Tve never felt so alone in my life. This huge crowd had a decided effect on the game. Texas did not beat A&M. The crowd did. A&M only trailed by six points with eight minutes left in the first half and seemed to be just one step away from taking the lead. Then it happened. The crowd roared and it was over. Texas went on 17-6 run over the next six minutes and suddenly A&M trailed 37-20. The run was fueled by the crowd which cheered loudly and often. Whenever the breaks went Texas’s way, the crowd cheered and Lord forbid a foul be called against the Lady Longhorns. Whenever the Lady Longhorns were called for jafoul or the ball awarded to A&M on the turnover, you would have thought the world had ended. Ya know how G.T.s go nuts if you walk on the MSC grass? Same reaction here; in fact it was worse. The crowd definitely influenced the game. There is no way anyone can tell me the crowd did not have an effect on the refs. They whistled just two fouls against Texas in the second half. Intimidated? You bet. You may be saying, “So what? The game was in Austin and that’s just good old home court advantage.” The big deal is that that one game was witnessed by more fans than have come to see A&M in G. Rollie all year. A&M has drawn 4,940 fans over 11 games. That’s an average of 449 fans a game. Texas averages over 8,000 a game. A&M is just as talented as Texas. Currently, the Lady Ags are locked in a battle with Arkansas for second in the conference. Arkansas comes to town Saturday and a huge crowd could help give the Lady Ags an advantage in getting revenge for a 91-90 loss suffered in Fayetteville early this year. There is no reason why the stands shouldn’t be filled every game. The women play an exciting style of basketball. It’s fast paced (the women have only 30 seconds to shoot instead of 45 like the men). A&M has lost only once at home, so you can be fairly safe in assuming you will watch a winner. For those of you who say it takes too long to watch, 1 say your wrong. Every game this year has been over in less than two hours. A basketball game could be a good study break. A&M is known around the country for its Twelefth Man, but that tradition shouldn’t stop just because football season is over. The Lady Ags need our support. A&M has only three home games left and after Saturday’s showdown with Arkansas, the biggest game remaining will be the season-ending finale against Texas, March 4. , Last year A&M was embarrassed as Texas brought nine buses of fans and turned our beloved G. Rollie into a sea of orange. This year there are rumors that they plan on bringing 15 buses. I say enough is enough. Right here and now I challenge every Aggie to attend the Texas game. I don’t care if it’s the only game you go to —just make sure you go. Let’s fill G. Rollie with maroon and tell Texas they can’t bring anyone but the trainer. Who knows, you may even see Texas lose to a SWC team for the first time in 11 years.
