“I think the Big 12 Conference is
the reason Texas schools have been
so successful at keeping players in
state,” Slocum said. “In the early
’80s, out-of-state schools were giv
en a lot of ammunition.
“They’d come to Texas in groups
and tell the top recruits that in order
to get recognition, you have to get out
of this league (SWC) and go some
where else. I’ve never had to defend
the Big 12 in the last two years.”
More important than proximity
to family or the high-profile nature
of the Big 12, Slocum said the local
recruits will appreciate the spirit of
the Twelfth Man.
“When it comes time next year
for these guys to come out of the
tunnel, onto the field, and the band
strikes up the Aggie War Hymn, I
think it will mean something to
these guys,” Slocum said.

The Battalion
The Texas A&M Men’s Tennis
Team will break the monotony of
off-season, intersquad competition
with the start of the spring dual
match season today at 1:30 p.m. at
the Omar Smith Tennis Center,
when the Northeast Louisiana State
University netters role into town.
“Our last competition was in
November, so today will mark the
start of our dual match season and
we have been practicing hard,”
A&M Head Coach Tim Cass said.
"We are tired of competing with
each other and we are certainly ex
cited to get started.”
The Aggie netters have two pil
lars of experience in seniors Rob
bie Krause who is the team cap
tain, and fellow netter Carlos Tori.
Cass said he credits the team with
being able to adapt to a new
coaching staff and four freshmen.
“Thanks to the leadership of
Krause, people are taking responsi
bility for themselves and everybody
is falling into their role,” Cass said.
“I have seen a great deal of maturi
ty in the freshmen and this dual
match will be a good test for us.”
As part of the test, Coach Cass
will start three freshmen, who have
never played a college tennis
