Tennis, Race Judicata
Nemeth glides past
Lacatoure, April 3, 4
Along with spring showers
came the Race Judicata and
the annual tennis tournament.
April 3 and 4 were set aside for
tennis at Memorial Park and
as usual the competition was
fierce this year.
In mixed doubles, the battle
of the Mudflaps took place as
G. Agüero and E.J. Zamora
pitted their talents against M.
Lacatoure and C. Lazzari.
Throughout this seige for
control of the court, Lacatoure
and Lazzari showed poise and
power and overcame the last
minute drive of their opposi-
tion. The crown this year in
mixed doubles went to a well
deserving team.
In the Men's A Bracket, the
round to watch was the one
between S. Nemeth and M.
Echevarría in the semi-finals.
Echevarría jumped to an early
lead in the match and looked
like the favorite in the second
set when suddenly he seemed
to be befallen with arm
problems. Nemeth came back
in that set and in the third set
to prevail over Echevarría by
hitting well-placed serves and
playing to his opponent's weak
side.
In the finals it was Nemeth
and Lacatoure. Although de-
layed by rain, Nemeth handily
trounced his opponent 6-2,
5-7, 6-2 and claimed this
year's title as the Men's A
champion.
The Men's B pairings found
Professor P.J. Riga matched
against S. Palmer in the finals.
South Texas' geriatric Jesuit
couldn't stop the rains or the
prowess of Palmer's on-the-
court demeanor as he fell 6-4,
6-4. Tired and disgruntled by
his play, Riga seemed to
believe that Palmer was pos-
sessed.
Spring semester — a time
for rain, volcanic ash and the
running of the Race Judicata.
In previous years, the race has
drawn contestants from our
compadres at U of H, but since
it looked like rain on April 10,
the barroom barristers from
the other side of town decided
not to let their mother of pearl
running shoes get damp. The
race was run between the
raindrops and the SBA in
considering passing a measure
that would allocate funds for
slickers next year.
Seriously, the race was a
good one in both the women's
and men's open divisions. For
the women, D. Greenleaf
posted the best time for the
three miles with a 21:58.3.
Second place went to L.
Baruiarena with a 22:47.8.
Posting a personal best (only
through the aid of her daugh-
ter the marathoner) was Bar-
bara Kurtz with a third place
time of 25:16.0.
In the Men's Open, Casey
Chandler glided to a first place
finish over Javier Rey, defeat-
ing him by a close 36 seconds.
Chandler's time was 16:24.0;
Rev's was 17 flat.
In third place was T. Brown
with a 17:05.7. Other finalists
were K^Altaffer (17:35.9); M.
Haas (18:02.0); B. Wells
(18:32.9); M. Miller (19:20.6);
T. Steinman (21:18.9); M. Roe
(22:03.0); G. Morgan (22:16.9);
T. Holmes (22:52.0); V. Wiser
(23:28.0); M. Echevarría
(24:36.0); E. Muller (25:02.0);
M. Edling (25:24.0); and B.
Smith, not his real name,
(25:54.0).
In other sports action, re-
gional competition was held
recently for the intramural
rifle and pistol matches in the
South Texas parking lot.
Spokesperson for the group
declined to comment whether
this was an open or invitational
competition and delcined to
say who actually had the best
groupings in the finals . . .
more to come as it develops.

"Cat Man" moves Flaps to victory
over Superstars at Cosaboom YMCA
by Boots Bukauskas
While most members of the two
teams paced the sidelines of the
Cosaboom YMCA, Bill "Cat
Man" Catledge sat quietly watch-
ing the final minutes of the
consellation game. A relative
newcomer to South Texas basket-
ball and the school, Catledge was
unknown to almost everyone until
about the third week of the season
when rumors began to circulate
about the man who moved like a
cougar and worked the lanes like
Moses Malone. The Mudflaps
had made it to the finals because
of the "Cat Man" — but
everyone wondered if he could
handle the pressure of the
Superstars as well as the dreams
of his own teammates.
The game began at a furious
pace with both the Mudflaps and
the Shelby Superstars trying to
fastbreak and wear each other
down. Shelby's Milton West, a
questionable starter due to a
recent knee injury, was on the
"Cat Man" and rendering him
ineffective on the inside. How-
ever, Bill Campbell's outside
shooting and soaring rebounding
tied the game for the Mudflaps
after the first seven minutes.
Jerry Hoover and Mark McGarry
tried to take the Superstars' game
inside, as they drove the lane
repeatedly, but instead of hitting
the easy layups, their shots were
hesitant and forced up and over
the towering frame of the "Cat
Man". Mike Anderson and Marty
Lacouture were sent in by the
Flaps' head coach, Dave Wallace,
to put the pressure on Owsley and
Greenleaf in the back court in the
middle of the first half. The
superstars were able to play for
the shot and keep an edge on the
scoreboard. With only five min-
utes left in the half, McGarry
spurred on the Superstars with a
beautifully blocked shot and it
looked like the Mudflaps would
be the bridesmaids of the tourna-
ment again this year. Seconds
remained in the first half with
Shelby's leading 20-18 and the
Superstars' coach/ "Del" Her-
long sent the word to work for the
last shot. When the ball left the
floor all eyes were on the net —
then suddenly a hand came from
no where and slapped it away like
a fly — "Cat Man" Catledge
struck again. Rick Greenleaf of
the Superstars got the ball back
into the air at the whistle — it fell
— but the damage was done.
Although behind at the half,
22-18, the momentum had shifted
to the Mudflaps.
As the second half began, Mike
Anderson of the Flaps and the
Superstars' Milton West were in
foul trouble with three apiece.
The Cat's momemtum had
sparked the Mudflaps into the
lead; neither team, however,
would be denied. The game
changed hands as the minutes
ticked off. With only 1:38 remain-
ing, the score was even at 38. The
Mudflaps had lost the hustle of
Anderson to fouls and Hoover and
West from the Superstars could-
n't buy a basket the whole second
half. The Stars were being carried
now by the bump and bruise
rebounding of McGarry and
Greenleaf s second effort shots.
The Flaps had a well balanced
attack in Campbell, Tannhauser,
Lacouture and the "Cat Man".
Jon Munier even scored today.
When only ten seconds remained
in regulation play, the Mudflaps
were up 42-40 and the game
looked over for last year's
. champs. McGarry, who carried
the Stars with his league leading
average for the entire season, let
go a desperation jumper as he fell
away from the key with only two
seconds to play. It fell — the
small but vocal crowd went wild
as the game went into three
minutes of overtime.
The electricity of the champion-
ship hit a climax after the first two
minutes of overtime. The Flaps
were ahead 44-43 when the Cat
drove on the basket and was
fouled — a three point play. For
some reason, a technical was

El don & Jane lie Geech, Proprietors
called on Shelby's West with only
45 seconds left. 47-45 — Mud-
flaps — and Catledge was on the
line shooting — and he hit. It was
over. When only a second re-
mained again Bill Catledge was at
the foul line making the last of the
22 points of his day. The
Mudflaps and the Superstars
pulled everyone off the line and
stood silently by — as if in silent
tribute to the man that anchored
the Mudflaps down the final
stretch. The basket fell — the
whistle blew and for the first time
in two years the Mudflaps were
champions, 50-46, instead of just
another team in the finals. And as
for the "Cat Man" — amidst the
cheers and the pats on the back —
he put on his red warm up suit
and left as mysteriously as the
High Plains Drifter. However, we
all got a grin and a wink as the
silent Flap walked off.
In the consellation game, it was
the preseason favorites, Enyo-
face, battling the Cinderella team
of the league, TRO, for third
place in the overall standings.
Enyoface played a pressing de-
fense for most of the game which
accounted for R. Frappier's sea-
son high 36 points. TRO was
forced throughout the game to
take the outside low percentage
shots and attempt to slow down
the rapid pace Enyoface had set
with its run and gun offense. The
game was totally controlled by
Cosaboom's favorite sons as they
scored at will and controlled the
boards on both ends of the court.
At the half, the score was
evidence of how dominant the
Enyoface team actually was,
37-18.
In the second half it looked like
a run away. McPhail was doing an
outstanding job feeding the ball
to Russ and Frappier, who were
hitting from anywhere on the
court they pleased. TRO once
again tried to slow down the game
as much as they could. Rodriguez
and Singer of TRO were making
their presence felt with great
shooting from both the inside and
outside; however, at this point the
game was pretty much out of then-
reach. Alan Magenheim's con-
crete jungle style of basketball,
which it is rumored was imported
from the streets of Brooklyn, got
him in foul trouble late in the half.
Cooler heads prevailed and Alan
was benched by his coach before
he started a full blown riot.
Honestly, the biggest contest of
the game was between the TRO
team and Frappier. Late in the
second half, "Frap" had scored
more points than the whole
opposition and the smart money
on the sidelines had it that he
would beat TRO himself. Unfor-
tunately, he got tired and
benched himself late in the half
and I once again lose a buck on
Enyoface because Singer, Rodri-
guez and Soto rallied for TRO. In
the end it was Enyoface 95, TRO
43.
