Ex-Bear coach
faces lawsuit
WACO, Texas (AP) — Former
Baylor University basketball coach
Jim Haller left a snowstorm in Cleve
land on Thursday “only to come
home to a bigger one.”
Haller and the bank he now works
for were named in a $3 million law
suit that one of Haller’s former play
ers filed Wednesday in a Waco state
district court.
The former player, John
Wheeler, now 25, of Dallas is the
same one whose secret recording of
a conversation he had with Haller
during the 1984-85 season led to
Haller’s resignation and Baylor’s sus
pension for 2 years for recruiting vi
olations.
“It’s a total surprise to me, after
six years, that something like this
could come up,” Haller told The As
sociated Press on Thursday. “From
what I know of it, it’s a total fabrica
tion.”
Wheeler’s lawsuit accuses Haller
and MBank of fraudulently getting
him to sign a promissory note for a
new car in 1985.
Wheeler admitted in the lawsuit
that he signed the $13,018 note for
the 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. But
Wheeler said Haller told him that his
playing for the university would be
accepted as payment for the auto
mobile.
Haller told him the car would be
paid for by an undisclosed third
party, the lawsuit alleges.
“I have not seen the lawsuit, but
this is a total fabrication,” Haller re
peated.
Wheeler’s lawsuit this week is in
part a response to a suit that MBank
filed last April against Wheeler to re
coup the cost of the car. The MBank
suit seeks $16,401.39 for the cost of
the car plus fees and interest.
The bank alleged in its suit that
Wheeler signed the promissory
notes but did not make the pay
ments.

Hot Lady Ags host
two Louisiana teams
The No. 23 Texas A&M women’s
tennis team will host a pair of Loui
siana teams this weekend at the
Omar Smith Tennis Center.
Friday the Lady Aggies will face
Northeast Louisiana at 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, A&M will take on Loui
siana State Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
The Lady Ags have fired off to a
2-0 record this spring, demolishing
Southwest Texas and North Texas
9-0.
LSU is ranked sixth in the South
west Region and NELU is ranked
12 th.
Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke said
he was eager to lace the Louisiana
squads because it will give him an in
dication of how good his squad is.
“I’m excited and I think the girls
are excited about playing some
tougher competition,” Kleinecke
said. “We’ve got a couple of matches
under our belt and we’re playing
well, so this should be a good test.
“I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far,
but I’m still cautiously optimistic.
This weekend will be a true test for
us. I’ll know a lot more about this
03104102team after these two mat
ches.”

Sports Mail
Give Davis a chance
EDITOR:
In response to Craig Wilson's article that appeared in The
Battalion January 31 . . . Rome was not built in a day, so how can
you expect the Texas A&M basketball team to be.
Coach Davis, like any coach, needs time to adjust to the
league. And the players, who are mostly transfers, need time to I
adjust to him.
The basketball team should not be ridiculed for its perfor
mance. As a former player, I know that it takes time to adjusttoa s
new program. I'm sure the best is yet to Tome for the Texas
A&M basketball team.
