Love for mens tennis —
home court for regionals
By Tfcoy Wagner
StaffWriler
Fresno Suite will host one of eight
four-team regional qualifying tournaments of the 1995 NCAA Division I
Men's Tennis Championships Saturday and Sunday, May 6 and 7.
The winner of this weekend's tournament will join the seven other regional winners, as well as the top
eight teams in the country, at the
NCAA championships in Athens,
Ga.May 13-21.
"This will be the biggest tennis event
ever to come to the Valley," Fresno
State coach Peter Smith said.
"We guarantee that some of the top
collegiate teams will be playing in the
tournament. It will be a great weekend of tennis."
The top four teams from thc region
will be playing in the NCAA Region
VII Championships, with New
Mexico and Fresno State expected to
be the No. I and No. 2 seeds, respectively.
Utah, Boise State and UTEP arc
vying for the remaining two spots in
Ihe tournament, vl
"I see us playing New Mexico in thc
championship match [on Sunday],"
Smith said, "but you never know what
will happen. Playing on our home
courts will definitely be to our advantage."
Last season, top-seeded New
Mexico was expected to win the regional tournament on its home courts
after winning a fourth consecutive
Western Athletic Conference title just
a week before.
But No. 2 seed Fresno State upset
the Lobos, 4-3. to make a first-ever
appearance in the NCAA championships.
"That was, by far, the biggest win
in the history of the tennis program,"
Smith said. "Hopefully [New
Mexico) won't do that to us this year,
though."
Junior Bryan Juinio said he thought
Fresno State has a good chance at
winning the tournament playing at
home. "It will be nice to have a hometown crowd there cheering us on,"
said Juinio, ranked No. 72 in lhc coun
try in collegiate singles.
This is only the second season the
NCAA has had qualifying tournaments for the championships.
Before the qualifying loumament,
the only way Fresno State had a
chance to go to the NCAAs was to
win the conference.
"The qualifying tournaments for the
NCAAs make collegiate tennis a lol
more interesting," Smith said. "Before, pretty much the same 16 teams
would be in the championships. With
the new system, virtually any team
can make it into the big loumament."
Two semi-final matches will be
played at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, May 6, while the championship match will be al 1:30 p.m.
Sunday, May 7.
Last weekend, Fresno Stale lost 4-3
to New Mexico in the WAC team
championships in Albuquerque.
New Mexico's Tad Berkowitz
scored a 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 upset win over
Bulldogs ace Fredrik Bergh at No. 1
singles that led the Lobos to their fifth
straight WAC men's tennis title.
Rodeo, from page 6
this year's rodeo comes this excerpt from a section on
bareback bronc riding.
"Immense physical stress is placed on the arm and back
(of humans), and bareback riders face more long-term
injuries, such as elbow and lower back problems, than
other roughslock cowboys."
Then from a study of injuries to ^^^mmam^^m^mi

"Nobody wants lo see anything suffer, especially when
they [the animals) don't have a say in it," Ragsdale said.
They say the animals are treated better than animals in
nearly any other modem day profession or usage because
of their value ($2,500 to $30,000 or more) and their potential for making more money at stud, for sale or in ro-

Ragsdale said, "They get fed
well, arc protected, aren't a part
of the food chain, get top medical
care and only work for about five

Chiaramonte sparks 'Dogs
in pivotal WAC series wins
By Jefferson Beavers
Staff Writer
In one of the most pivotal series of the 1995 season,
the Fresno Stale baseball team recorded three key victories against San Diego State last weekend.
Friday's 10-4 series-opening win over the visiting
Aztecs was keyed, in part, by four San Diego State errors that were converted inlo four unearned Bulldogs
runs.
But the majority of Fresno State's other offense came
from freshman designated hitter Giuseppe Chiaramonte.
Batting in the clean-up spot. Chiaramonte racked up
three hits in five at-bats. driving in four runs on the
night.
Chiaramonte doubled lo left in thc thiid inning, drove
in a ran on a ground out in the fourth, and launched a
shot lo center for a two-ran homer in the eighth.
Chiaramonte's big game Friday gave the two-
defending WAC Western Division Champion Bulldogs
the jump-start at the plate they needed to sweep ihe
weekend series over the Aztecs.
The Bulldogs (36-15. 17-7 WAC) have a comfortable
lead in the WAC western division with only five games
remaining on their regular season schedule.
Chiaramonte's offensive output in only his first season has been a pleasant surprise for the heavy-hitting
Bulldogs, especially as thc season grinds on.

recovered quickly.
Eisinger said he talked to a stu-
dent from Fresno State who "felt bad" because his roommate had snapped a calve's neck in last year's college
rodeo calf-roping contest.
Black and Ragsdale insisted there were stiff penalties,
including disqualification and even banishment from participating in future rodeos, for anyone who "intentionally
erks down" a calf during the roping event.

The animals pretty much live
in luxury," Black said.
"The simple fact is, it's exploitation. It's not a civilized,
compassionate thing to be engaging in," Eisinger said.
"It's demeaning for any kind of animal to be treated that
way. They don't look at animals as something deserving
of compassion.
"They're just products, commodities. It's all cxploita-
tion for a dollar," he said.
