Paige 14 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1980 Coogs win SWC tourney. Aggies duffers finish fourth Last weekend in Tyler, the Texas A&M golf team took a disappointing fourth place finish at the Southwest Conference Championship. The University of Houston took the conference title with a score of 854, a new tournament record. The Aggies finished at 897 behind second place TCU and third place Texas. Houston is ranked No. 3 in the nation behind Oklahoma State and Brigham Young. The Texas A&M duffers were knocked out of the top 10 following their ninth place finish at the 26th Intercollegiate All-American meet in Houston two weeks ago. Low scorer for Texas A&M was Brad Jones with rounds of73, 72, and 75 for a 220 total. Jones finished tenth in the individual standings. “In Tyler, we wanted it (the con ference championship) so bad, we got in the way of ourselves,” head coach Bob Ellis said. “We let the course get to us. We had some bad breaks, and let them get to us.” Other team members and their scores are: Richard Cromwell, 223; David Ogrin, 224; Jay Kent, 230; Steve Bowman, 230; Gary Kruegar, 238. “They were not ready to play,” Ellis said of the team. “Still, in my Now in our New Location to serve you even better (First light past Skaggs on University) GUYS & GALS 112 Nagle 846-5761 or 846-5018 eyes, this is an excellent team.” The next tournament slated for the Aggies will be the Southern Intercol legiate Championship in Athens, Ga., May 1-3. Texas A&M has gone to this tour nament for the last three years and has finished seventh three times. At the tourament, 24 teams are invited, with the top 15 reinvited for the next year. Texas A&M and Texas will be the only Southwest Conference teams at the tourament. The Aggies hope to earn a berth in the NCAA Championships May 28- 31 with a strong showing in Georgia, a feat Ellis feels his team is capable of. The national championship will be played at Ohio State University. “I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the teams who didn’t win the South west Conference won the NCAA,” Ellis said. — Steve Sisney The p iseum, £ basketba well-kno strong T The ii Safe tit second Texas A&M’s Twig Little slides into second base in the first game of a double-header against Sam Houston University Tuesday.
