On the long ride back from Oklahoma last
weekend, the members of the Texas A&M Men’s
Tennis Team had many lingering questions on
their minds. Despite dropping two matches and
facing a disappointing season, the Aggies still have
a chance to land an NCAA Championship berth.
“Both Oklahoma teams are really good and
deserve a lot of credit,” Head Coach Tim Cass
said. “There is no doubt, though, that our dou
bles play has let us down and that has cost us five
or six matches this year. While the guys are dis
appointed, we still have our NCAA hopes alive.”
After dropping those doubles matches, the Aggie
netters have their work cut out for them as the Bay
lor University Bears claw their way into town today.
Cass said swapping among doubles teams
and emphasis on certain fundamentals were the
top priorities at practice this week.
Freshman Gonzalo Anderson admits doubles
play has faltered, but said the team is strong and
looking to accomplish bigger and better things.
“We really haven’t been doing too well at dou
bles, so some restmeturing has been going on as
we face Baylor,” Anderson said. “The team has
been down because we had higher expectations
for this season. Our main goal and emphasis is the
Big 12 Championship, but we do have a young
team, and I hope to get experience for next year.”
While Baylor does come into the Aggie con
fines with a restructured program, they are a
stronger and tougher team than in the past. Ju
nior netter Carlos Tori said the Baylor match is
going to be a platform for the Aggies to show
what they have and build on an NCAA berth.
"Baylor has a solid team, but they are not awe
some and are at about our level of play,” Tori said.
“We must go out and compete, fight hard at every
match, and do well in our doubles play. This
match will be big and we know what we have to
do. I think we are ready to go out and beat Baylor."
When 5 p.m. rolls around at the Omar Smith
Tennis Center today, Baylor will mark the first of
three matches the Aggies must win to qualify for
the NCAAs. Cass said as long as the guys go out
and play with all their hearts, everything will
work out for the squad.
“Baylor is a very important match and is one
of three which will have NCAA implications,”
Cass said. “While the guys are still disappointed
about the tough road trip, we still have a chance
to go to NCAAs out of our region, and that has
gotten us going. We have had great practices and
our hopes are high. I feel good about today and
know the team is ready to go and take care of
business against Baylor.”

► Basketball great
Oscar Robertson
donated a kidney
to his sick daughter.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Basket
ball great Oscar Robertson, in
tears when asked about his deci
sion to donate a kidney to his
daughter, was released from the
hospital Tuesday.
Tia Robertson, 32, is stricken
with lupus and received her fa
ther’s kidney on Thursday. She was
reported in good condition and
could be released from the hospi
tal this week.
Oscar Robertson, 58, appeared
at a news conference before leaving
University Hospital and cried when
he recalled the family discussions
about who would give up a kidney.
“He’s been through a lot; she’s
been through a lot,” said Robert
son’s wife of 37 years, Yvonne.
The Robertsons have two other
daughters, Shana, 35, and Mari, 27.
Doctors determined Shana also
could have been the donor. Oscar
Robertson said he insisted on be
ing the donor because his daugh
ters are of child-bearing age.
“I’m the strongest person,” he
said. “We just went through a process
of elimination, and it was me.”
Added Yvonne Robertson: “I
hope people don’t overdramatize
it. It’s something any parent
would do.”
“We’ve gotten a lot of letters and
cards from people around the
country that we don’t even know,”
the basketball Hall of Famer said.
“It’s overwhelming."
Tia Robertson developed lupus
when she was 25. Since November,
she had been using a dialysis ma
chine to cleanse her blood.
Lupus is a chronic disease that
can affect the skin and internal
organs. Her form of lupus afflicts
an estimated 750,000 to I million
Americans.
Her father, a Cincinnati busi
nessman, plans to begin a gradual
exercise program in about a week.
He could return to full activities, in
cluding golf and shooting baskets,
within three months, said Dr. Roy
First, medical director of the hos
pital’s transplant program.
Robertson, asked if the experi
ence would prompt him to serve as
a spokesman for organ donation,
said: “If I could be a spokesman for
any cause that would be helpful, I d
