Women's tennis signs two recruits
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
A pair of highly touted tennis
prospects have signed national
letters-of-intent
with Texas
A&M during
the early sign
ing period this
fall and will
join the team
next year,
A&M women's
coach Bobby
Kleinecke an
nounced Mon
day.
Nancy Ding-
Houstc
Kleinecke
wall of Houston's Stratford High
School and Julie Beahm of Dublin,
Oh., both of whom are ranked in
the top 100 nationally, will be on
the roster of the Lady Aggies next
fall.Dingwall, who also visited
Texas, Arizona, Rice and Texas
Christian, has been ranked in the
top 100 nationally since 1989, and
is currently ranked 42nd national
ly and third in Texas in 18s. Ding
wall has been the Class 5A singles
state finalist for the past two
years, and was named high school
All-American after her sophomore
and junior seasons. Dingwall has
been in the top three in both sin
gles and doubles at Sectionals the
past four years. She also received
the Junior Sportsmanship Award
from the Texas Tennis Association
in 1992.
"Nancy is a great addition to
our team," Kleinecke said. "She
instantly adds quality to our sin
gles and doubles lineups. I expect
her to step in right away and con
tribute. She gives us a lot of ver
satility.
"We targeted Nancy long ago
as someone we wanted as part of
our program and we're happy to
have her in the fold."
Beahm, who chose A&M over
Kentucky, Baylor and Richmond,
is ranked 66th nationally and
fourth in Ohio in 16s. Beahm has
been the Wellington School's team
MVP for the past four years and
has compiled a 77-11 singles
record during that span. She has
won three national tournaments —
the McDonald's Junior Invitation
al, the K-Swiss Junior Invitational
and the Columbus Indoor Junior
Invitational. Beahm also won the
John Noble Award for being the
Central Ohio Player of the Year.
"Julie is a super competitor
who will immediately impact our
team," Kleinecke said. "She's
very feisty on the court and she
never gives up. She reminds me
of (former A&M players) Cindy
Churchwell and Jenifer Jones in
that regard. She has all the tools
needed to be a very good tennis
player."
Aggies, Frogs
to be on ABC
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS i
The ABC television networlj
will pick up its fourth football
game of the season involvinj
Texas A&M this weekend when
the Aggies host Texas Christian
University Saturday at Kyli
Field.
Original gametime had
set for 2 p.m., but because of tli(
telecast, kickoff has been moved
to 2:30 p.m.
The Aggies had earlier match
es with LSU, Baylor, Rice and
Louisville all televised on ABC
as well as playing Stanford and
Texas Tech on Raycom.
A&M's 38-30 win over Hous
ton Thursday was broadcast na
tionally on ESPN television, and
the Thanksgiving matchup wift
the University of Texas willalst
be carried on ESPN.
Norwood
Continued From Page 7
couple of thousand screaming
Tiger fans. The band still plays
the Aggie War Hymn, albeit with
a bit less volume and precision
than we hear in Kyle Field. The
coaches still scream and yell, and
the players still do their best to
choke back the tears and anger
from having their ears chewed
off after jumping offside or get
ting called for holding. And my
dad still yells at the officials, and
they definitely still deserve it.
What I found most refreshing
was that the players seemed to
genuinely enjoy playing the
game. Contrary to what many
people believed after reading
"Friday Night Lights," the ac
counts of a Northern writer who
flung himself out of his element
and into the middle of an Odessa
Permian football season, high
school football is still fun. And
the Tigers and Indians, as well as
the fans of both teams, proved it
in no uncertain terms.
Perhaps some of the people in
volved with major college foot
ball should take a step back every
now and then and just go to a
high school game. Not to look
for recruits, but simply to watch.
And listen. And learn.
College football has been ele
vated to such a position that
money determines decisions. In
certain situations, that could be
understandable. For instance,
how many academic depart
ments here at Texas A&M would
turn down a slice of the national
championship bonus money pie
the Aggies are fighting for? Or
how about Rice, where even mi
nor bowl money could do won
ders for the Owls' financially
strapped football program?
But money seems to be doing
as much harm as good. If A&M
and the University of Texas leave
the Southwest Conference, they
face a drastic reduction in state
funding from vengeful legislators
in Austin. The University of Col
orado is considering a move to
the Pac-10, where television mon
ey flows a lot faster than it does
in the Big Eight. And the Univer
sity of Miami is seriously think
ing about staying home and play
ing in the Orange Bowl, prefer
ring a bigger payoff to potential
matchups for the national title in
the Sugar or Cotton Bowls.
Don't get me wrong. Money
is a factor in high school athletics
Why do you think the Universih
Interscholastic League created
two divisions in Class AAAAA,
leading to one-third more playoff
teams in Texas' wealthiest classi
fication? I don't suppose it
would have anything to do with
the fact that the UIL gets a per
centage of the gate receipts from
every playoff game.
But unless the UIL creates
bowl games and allows unadul
terated recruiting at the high
school level, the money factor
will stay off the field. And the
blissful innocence of high school
football will be preserved for
hopeless romantics like myself.
Now, if Silsbee can just figure
out a way to beat undefeated
LaMarque this Friday...
