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

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.

VIENNA, Austria — The Austrian
army is seriously considering a sur
prisingly low-priced offer for U.S. jet
fighters submitted by an American
company, a defense ministry spokes
man said Tuesday.
The offer was made by General
Dynamics for a total of 24 F16-79 jet
fighters at a price of $6.75 million per
plane, the spokesman said.
It was the latest entry in a list of
bidders considered by the Austrian
government for the last six years.The
other bidders are the Mirage-50
from France, the Viggen from
Sweden, the Kfir from Israel and the
Tiger F-5 from the American North
