A&M golf team aims for Austin
By NADJA SABAWALA
Of The Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M men’s golf team
will travel to the Barton Creek
Country Club in Austin this week
end to participate in the Morris Wil
liams Intercollegiate.
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. Riddle shot the Aggies’ best score
of 76-77-78 for a 23 1 in the competi
tion.
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.

■ 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.”

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.”

It’s Working at M.D
"Our research will some day
help cure cancer."
Stuart Mueller feels "most fortunate''
to have landed a research assis
tant's job in one of M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center's premier scientific
laboratories upon graduating from
college with a BS in Biology. After 18
months of performing assays and
charting intricate data, he says the
daily detective work is "even
more fascinating than I had
imagined". Many of the tests that
Stuart conducts seek to clarify the
cause of melanoma, a serious skin
cancer. " It takes a lot of patience,
but it's great to know that my efforts
could some day help cure or pre
vent melanoma in people,' he says.
