Playing in the NCAA Indoor Tournament Feb. 5-8 for the second time in its three year history, Smarr's team will make their spring debut in a field of tough competition. "I feel like we hopefully will win one or two matches out of the three we play," Smarr said. "I feel like we have the talent to compete with anybody in the country except maybe the top three." SOUTH CAROLINA'S first appearance two years ago at the Memphis-based tournament was disappointing to Smarr when the team lost all three matches, but he feels his team will be prepared for the competition this year. "It's (the early tournament) kind of pushing us to get ready," Smarr said, "but we'll be as ready as anybody because we've got excellent weather and indoor courts to practice on." tesRigh Chester County Saturday afte Life) is about life."

JOSE NETO. who currently holds the numbertwo spot on the team after transferring from Florida State last year, is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "He's a hard worker," Smarr said. "Usually transfer students bring whatever problems they had with them, but he's working out real well. He transferred because tennis was not emphasized down there as much as it is here." Neto's fall victories included a win over a Clemson AH-American. Also playing in the top six is freshman Daron Roberts Y m M* t to Lite srnoon. "This one (Right To to long distance road racing its.

"He's potentially one of the best freshmen we've brought in," Smarr said. "He had a very good fall season." Roberts teamed with Bill Heiser, a former junior college doubles champion, to win consistently at doubles during the fall matches. THE TWO newest recruits have a good chance of breaking into the top six during the spring season, Smarr said. Zoran Petkovic of Tuzla, Yugoslavia and Nathan Jones of Portland, Ore .^till must play the top seven in challenge matches to determine the top six players. "Both Jones and Zoran have to play their way on to this team no matter how good we think they are," Smarr said.
