The tournament lasts from Friday through Sunday at the Omar Smith Tennis Center in College Station. Other schools participating in the 4- Way are Texas Christian, Rice and Southwest Texas State. TCU is the defending SWC men’s champion. A&M Coach David Kent said the high quality of competition the Ag gies will face this weekend will fine tune the team for SWC action. “TCU is always one of the top teams in the nation and Rice is right up there with them in our conferen ce,” Kent said. “It should give us a good bearing on where we stand.” Last week at the Naval Academy All-Conference Tournament at An napolis, Md., the Aggies turned in a good performance, with sophomore Doug Brown leading the way. Brown won the No. 4 flight singles title and teamed with senior Shaun O’Donovan to take second in No. 2 flight doubles. Singles play begins at 8:30 each morning of the tournament and runs throughout the day. Doubles play starts at 1 p.m. on Friday with the second round beginning at 1 1 a.m. on Saturday. The tournament seedings are: Lady Aggies ready for weekend action By Alan Lehmann Of The Battalion Staff The Texas A&M Lady Aggie volleyball team will have a busy weekend. They return to G. Rollie White to play Eastern Ken tucky tonight at 7:30, and South Florida tommorrow afternoon at 3:00. The Lady Aggies bring a three- game winning streak with them, and have swept their last two op ponents. They are now 5-4, only two wins shy of the goal that coach A1 Givens set a week ago. A&M beat Southwest Texas State 15-6, 15-4, 15-8 Tuesday night in San Marcos. Although Givens said the Lady Aggies looked flat, they played well in spots. “We served well early,” he said, “but didn’t pass well in the final game. Of course, we’ll take it as a win.” Eastern Kentucky, which comes into the match with a 3-6 record, is led by junior outside at tacker Sue Antkowiak. The Colo nels are coming off of a 16-19 season. “Eastern Kentucky has played some good matches this season,” Givens said. “We expect a tough match from them.” Saturday will mark the first meeting between A&M and South Florida. The Bulls are 7-6, and will be led by senior Belinda Spivey and sophomore Crystal Maracale. Givens said that a strong per formance this weekend would give A&M momentum going into conference play, which will begin Wednesday for Lady Aggies. Since the football game starts at 6 p.m., Givens hopes that some of the football fans will come to the Coliseum for to see the Lady Aggies first. “A good crowd at G. Rollie White is worth several points per game to us,” he said. lasstng erbacl tally s ittle n vis.

But it still takes about 100 to con tend with the repeat champion Athletics. Just like last year, Oakland gets to spend the final weekend padding its stats and mapping out its ap proach to the playoffs while the AL East leaders ex haust all resources just to survive. “The loss we had in LA (in the 1988 World Series), we don’t forget,” relief ace Dennis Eckersley said as the A’s savored their second straight divisional crown, clinched Wednesday night. “But we can enjoy this one for about four or five days.” Going the rest of the way without a defeat would pro duce a second consecutive 100-win season, last achieved by the Baltimore Orioles a decade ago. Dave Parker, who homered Thursday, needs just four runs batted in for his first 100-RBI in the American League and fifth overall. Lansford, who also has quietly stolen 37 bases, proudest of the way he and his teammates NEW Jorema Billed through their ailments this year—and not just the well lunche pteamil Woul hampi< aid F lexan \ 4 Mike Moore, 19-11 after pitching a one-hitter for seven innings in the 5-0 clincher over Texas, goes for the 20-victory plateau Sunday against Kansas City. And Carney Lansford, whose .336 batting average trails Minnesota’s Kirby Puckett by four percentage points, seeks his second AL batting crown. “That hasn’t been on my mind at all,” Lansford said, ending a month-long silence with the Bay area media. “I wouldn’t trade this (title) for that. I wouldn’t mind seeing Kirby Puckett do it so a right-handed hitter fi nally wins it again.” publicized injuries that sidelined Jose Canseco, \ McGwire, Walt Weiss and Eckersley. “This is more gratifying than last year,” he said “There have been a lot of days when guys like Daw Henderson, Dave Parker and myself went out thett and placed even though we were dog-tired and batiste up, because we had to play ... I think everybody realiteBulpit fi what we had to go through this year.” ■Then ■gain at Mark McGwire, disabled early in the year byaWlI “I th injury, heard rumblings all season long about hisloBghts o batting average, now .226.
