Thirteen teams, including No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Arizona State and defending Southwest Con ference champion Texas, will com pete in the 54 hole event. “It should fire our players up a little to play against such strong com petition on a great golf course,” coach Bob Ellis said. The Aggies are led by senior Randy Lee who was an unanimous All-SWC selection last year and is contending for All-American honors this season. Juniors Mark Miller, Bobby Gee and Todd Riddle, senior Andy Coo per and sophomore Collin Stoops will also compete. Last week A&M tied for 11th place at the Louisiana Classics Golf Invitational in Lafayette, La. with rounds of 307-312-310 for 929 over all.

A&M finished 12th in a field of 12 last year at the Morris Williams In tercollegiate with scores of 302-305- 313 for 920. The team hopes for a better finish this year. Aggie netters square off with wary Bears By NADJA SABAWALA Of The Battalion Staff Texas A&M’s men’s tennis team will have more than its share of com petition this weekend. The Aggies travel to Waco to face Baylor Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. The Bears will open their South west Conference season with 11-4 A&M after struggling through non conference matches. Baylor has a 1- 8 record. The Bears’ only victory was a 5-4 win over the University of Texas- San Antonio earlier this year. The Aggies defeated UTSA 9-0 in A&M’s first dual match of the sea son. “Baylor is having a bit of a hard time right now,” Aggies coach David Kent said. However, the Bears always play hard on their own courts and they could be tough, he said. The last time the two teams met, A&M took the match, 8-1 in College Station. Senior ace Shaun O’Donovan will face-off with Baylor’s Rob Magness at the No. 1 singles position. O’Do novan is 11-3 in dual match play and 18-9 overall while Magness is 4-11 for the season. O’Donovan is ranked 64th in the latest edition of the Volvo/Intercolle giate Tennis Coaches Association. In doubles competition, A&M’s No. 1 team of senior Gustavo Espi nosa and sophomore Blake Barsa- lou, 6-2 for the season, will play the Beai’s Chris Wade and Greg Con- dray, 0-2. The Aggies return to College Sta tion for a dual match against Georgia Tech March 30 at the tennis center. E Razorbacks I (Continued from page 7) ■ doser than 68-61 on a 3-pointer by Rick Fox with 7:29 remaining. Fox, the Tar Heels’ leading scorer at 16 points per game, went scoreless in the first hall and finished with nine points. Scott Williams led North Carolina with 20 points, but no other I Tar Heel scored more than 1 1. Arkansas, on the other hand, got 25 from Lenzie Howell, 19 from Mayberry, 19 from Oliver Miller arid ! 18 from Todd Day. Day had only six in the first half because he picked up three fouls before the game was five minutes old. ! Howell helped carry the Razor- | backs in the first half, scoring 15 points as Arkansas took a 39-34 lead i at halftime. “I was very pleased going into the dressing ’ room with a five-point [lead,” Richardson said. “I’ve always j thought that our team was a second- half basketball team.” The second half started poorly for the Razorbacks. After an opening | basket by Howell, Arkansas went | three minutes without a field goal, while North Carolina went on an 1 1 - | 1 run to take a 45-42 lead. Howell’s follow shot with just un der 11 minutes to play gave Arkan sas a 54-52 lead, then a jumper by Lynch tied the score, setting up the ] 3-point display. Once Arkansas got the big lead, North Carolina was forced to stretch its defense and gamble. That opened the inside for 270-pound Miller, who scored 15 of his points in the second half. “When they were gambling, we al ways attacked the basket,” Richard son said. “The Big O was just having afield day.” t'hoto by Phelan M. Ebenhack Oliver Miller will lead the Razorbacks in an All-SWC regional final against Texas Saturday. Longhorns (Continued from page 7) points by scoring the first two bas : kets of the second half. But T exas rallied and went ahead 75-74 on Blanks’ steal and dunk with 9:10 remaining. Blanks, who was 9- of-13 from the field in the second half, then led Texas on a 15-2 run that made it 90-79 with 2:29 left. He had two steals and three baskets dur ing the Texas spurt. “Texas got on a roll and it was like trying to stop an avalanche coming down the side of a mountain,” Gillen said. “Poof, our lead was gone. It was like we hit a brick wall or something. We had no answers.” f It’s Working at M.D "Our research will some day help cure cancer."
