Mack’s no-hitter helps Cards s
By CLYDE HUGHES
UP Sports Editor
The Lamar Cardinals found leads a
hard thing to hold on to, as they split a
four game series with the McNeese
State (Lake Charles, La.) Cowboys at
Vincent-Beck field, this weekend.
The first win by the Cowboys (3-1 on
Saturday) was the first win for
McNeese over Lamar in 24 games
dating back to 1978.
The highlight of the series was the
Cards’ pitching sensation Tony Mack,
Lexington, Ky., junior. Mack threw a
no-hitter in the first game of the
series as Lamar won 5-1.
Mack started the game slow and
McNeese managed to score on two er-
rors and a sacrifice fly that brought
the Cowboys’ Roger Hickemall in.
But after that, Mack mowed down
12 of the next 13 Poke batters as he
struck out seven for the game and
walked three.
Mack increased his record to 4-1
and lowered his ERA to 0.55 for the
season while Ben Berwick took his
first loss for McNeese.
The Cards scored four of their five
runs in the first inning as Kerry
Christensen, Louisville, Ky., senior,
Mark Eberenz, Louisville, Ky.,
sophomore, Pedro Valerio, Brooklyn,
N.Y., senior, and Jerald Clark,
Crockett freshman, all crossed the
plate.
In the second game, McNeese scat-
tered three runs which was enough to
take the Saturday’s nightcap. The
Cowboys’ first run came in the third
as Hickemall executed a hit and run
with Bryan Harris on base to move
him to third.
Then John Senes, Hauppague, N. Y.,
sophomore, walked the Pokes’ Lud
Henry to load the bases. Senes still
could not find the plate as he walked
James Gnll'er to force Harris from
third for the score.
In the fourth, Kevin Arnold of
McNeese hit a single to drive in David
Mees. But Cardinal catcher Rich
Bailey, Forest Hills, N.Y., senior, rifl-
ed down Arnold later in the inning at-
tempting to steal third to kill the ral-
ly-
McNeese added another run in the
sixth on a home run by Mees.
Lamar’s lone run came in the fifth
inning when Bailey scored on a
fielding error by Pokes’ second
baseman Billy Bryant.
Tony Robichaux was the winning
pitcher for McNeese and Senes (4-3)
was the loser.
Sunday’s affair, aided by a strong
wind, turned into a slug fest as 40 runs
were scored in the two games.
Lamar exploded for six runs in the
bottom of the fifth to take a 8-3 lead in
the first game. Then McNeese rallied
for six runs in the top half of the sixth
to take a 9-6 lead.
The Cards responded with three
more runs in the bottom of the sixth to
take a 11-9 margin into the final inn-
ing.
With two out, Lamar outfielder
Gary Baumbach, Houston junior, was
unable to make a play on a fly ball
and a Christensen walk loaded the
bases for McNeese.
Mike Converso, Bronx, N.Y.,
junior, bobbled a ground ball from a
Cowboy batter but was still able to
make the play to second base. But the
runner was called safe and a run
scored which sent Lamar head coach
Jim Gilligan onto the field to protest
the call. The call, however, stood.
After that, Mees hit a single up the
middle to score the tying and winning
runs. Out of McNeese’s 12 runs, three
were earned.
A home run by Donald Johnston,
Louisville, Ky., sophomore, and
Bailey’s RBI single in the seventh
propelled the Cards to a 9-8 win to
close out the series.
In another high scoring affair Mon-
day, cut to eight innings because of a
thunderstorm, the Cards lost to
Southeastern Oklahoma (Durant) by
a count of 13-9.

LU’s Arana, Llamas blaze trail
By CLYDE HUGHES
UP Sports Editor
Lewis and Clark, move aside.
The expedition of Arana and
Llamas is hot on the trail.
But instead of the Oregon trail to
the west, Victor Arana, Mexico Ci-
ty sophomore, and Jose Llamas,
Mexico City junior, with two rac-
quets and a can of tennis balls as
supplies, are blazing a trail to a
possible NCAA championship.
Arana and Llamas, are the
members of the Cardinal netters’
undefeated No. 1 doubles team.
Currently this duo has recorded a
11-0 slate.
Although both hail from Mexico
City, the two did not get a chance
to get to know one another until
coming to Lamar because they at-
tended different high schools.
Both said the urge to continue
playing and improve led them to
the trek across the Rio Grande.
“There was a lot of encourage-
ment for me to go,” Llamas said,
“so I started writing schools and
coach (Ron Wesbrook) wrote
back. I came over and I liked it.”
Arana was also seeking the col-
lege of his choice when he meet
Llamas during a summer tennis
tournament in Mexico. At this
time, Arana was the 1979 Mexico
National Champion. Like Llamas,
he decided to sign up for Big Red.
“It was pretty hard studying for
finals in Mexico,” Arana said
about his former school days in
Mexico City. “I wanted to keep
playing and study and learn a se-
cond language.”
At first, the two did not consider
themselves close friends off the
court. On the court, however, the
pair were a tennis match made in
heaven. Arana and Llamas have
now reeled off 11 straight victories
and are considered one of the top
doubles pairs in the country.
“We’re not close as friends,”
Arana said, “but as a team, we are
very close. He’s (Llamas) married
now so he doesn’t want to party
anymore.”
Llamas attributes the team’s
success to a little bit of
everything—from good ground
strokes to movement on the court.
Arana cites communication as the
main theme to the team’s winning
ways.
One concern that may be on the
minds of the netters in the
Southland Conference race is the
play of Southwestern Ix>uisiana.
(Lafayette) who is now ranked
20th in the country by the Inter-
colligate Tennis Coaches Associa-
tion.
“I think if we (the team) can
keep playing like we are, we can
beat them,” Arana said. “The SLC
tournament will be at Arkansas.
State (Jonesboro) so no one will
have the advantage.”
Of course, the two say the end
result is getting into the NCAA
tournament. “First we have to
qualify,” Llamas said, “and play
well during the remaining tour-
naments. But I think we have a
good chance.”
MVP of week named
NEW YORK (UPI)—Boston
center Robert Parish, a candidate
for league MVP honors, was nam-
ed the National Basketball
Association’s Player of the Week
for games through March on the
basis of a 20.5 point average and
12.8 rebound mark in four games.
The 7-foot Parish’s best effort
was a 37-point output Sunday in
Boston’s 123-111 victory over
Philadelphia, a game in which the
Celtic pivotman also dragged
down 21 rebounds. “Robert just
continues to show everybody why
he’s so valuable,” says Boston
Coach Bill Fitch.

While the University of Texas
(Austin) captured their second
straight national swimming title
last week, another Texas team, the
Lamar Lady Cardinals, was on the
receiving end of a good deal of at-
tention from officials, coaches and
spectators alike.
Third year head coach Karen
Bussell said she was surprised at
the attention the Lady Cardinal
team received at the AIAW Meet.
“I think the highlight of the en-
tire meet had to be the fact that we
were noticed by everyone,” she
said. “I had coaches who are in the
top five, and who have been my
idols for a long time, come up to
me and ask me about my swim-
mers.”
The Lady Cardinals continued
their string of setting school
records, breaking 10 standards in
the national meet to bring their
year-end total to an astounding 85.
Along with the school marks,
Lamar also set 16 pool records and
swam a total of 173 lifetime best
swims. Their 14-2 dual meet
record, their fourth place finish at
the State Championships and their
19th place finish at Nationals make
up statistics which future Lamar
swim teams will find hard to beat.
On Friday, Sara Adams,
Houston freshman, who was the
team’s leading scorer at nationals
with 13 points, finished 11th in the
200 individual medley with a
school record time of 2:07.01. The
Lady Cards’ second event of the
day was the 800 freestyle relay,
with Adams, Belinda Money,
Haileah, Fla., sophomore, Beth
Fleener, Anchorage, Alaska,
freshman, and Anne McDaniel,
Gulfport, Miss., freshman, swim-
ming a school record time of
7:37.72 for the team’s first 10th
place finish.
That time was the 8th fastest in
the finals, but was recorded as a
tenth place finish since it was
swum in the consolation finals in-
stead of the championships. It was
to be the first of three events
where Lamar swam faster than
teams in the championships finals,
but could not move up in the stan-
dings due to their slower
preliminary times.
On Saturday, the Lady Cards
captured three top sixteen
finishes, with McDaniel finishing.
11th in the 100 freestyle with a|
record 51.95, Adams finishing 10th1
in the 100 individual medley with a
record 59.18, and the 400 freestyle
relay team of Adams, Money, Lin-
da Martin, Ocean Springs, Miss.,
freshman, and McDaniel clocking
a record 3:30.36 for a 10th place
finish.
With all those finishes, Lamar
moved up from last place (39th) to
19th, finishing ahead of Texas
Tech, Lubbock, (33 points, 23rd),
and Texas A&M, College Station,
(34 points, 22nd). It marked the
first time the Lady Cards beat the
Aggies.
