■Danny Briggs can’t under
stand why people keep under-
Bimating the strength of the
Ttxas Aggie golf team.
i|But after this weekend’s per
formance in the Bluebonnet
Bowl Invitational at Columbia
i Lakes, lots of folks will be talking
about Briggs, Paul Oglesby and
K rest of the Texas A&M gol-
feh.
■Briggs and Oglesby, the
Aggies’ two-man best ball en
trants in the tournament, scored
a|12-stroke victory over a 22-
telun field that included NCAA
nmpion Houston, NCAA run-
■r-iip Oklahoma State, Texas,
LIT A, Missouri and Stanford.
The two Texas A&M seniors,
shooting a 196, 20-under par
total for three days, finished 12
shots ahead of the Cougars and
■ University of Texas-El Paso,
tied for second at 208.
■Briggs and Oglesby shot 69-
6|66during the three-day “best
ball ’ event, in which only the
best effort on each hole counted
tojvard a team’s final score. For
instance, on a hole which one
member of a twosome birdied

shooting for national title
and the other player paired,
only the birdie would be in
cluded in the overall score.
“Everyone was acting like
Houston was the only team to
beat down there,” said Briggs,
who finished the fall season with
a 72.1 stroke average. “1 don’t
really think they were, because
there were plenty of good teams
there.
“It seems like every tourney
we go to, we’re never considered
the favorite. But I think we
should have been the favorites
in this tournament, because Paul
Senior Paul Oglesby leads
with 71.9 stroke average
and I have been playing so well
this season.”
In Saturday’s round of 61,
Oglesby had seven birdies and
an eagle, hitting a seven iron 150
yards into the hole for an eagle
on a par 4, 420-yard hole. Dur
ing the competition, Oglesby
and Briggs combined for 19 bir
dies, an eagle and only one
bogey (on the No. 16 hole in Fri
day’s first round).
“Naturally, when you win
something like that,” Briggs
said, “it’s great. “One of our
goals before this year was to try
to finish better in tournaments
than we did last season. Last
year, we didn’t play so well at
tournaments, but we worked
hard to finish fourth at na
tionals.
“But this season, we’ve had
two thirds, four seconds and two.
firsts. We’ve really been pleased
about the way we’ve played this
semester and we’re excited ab
out the spring. This year, we’ve
got a lot of upperclassmen, and
our eyes are focused more on
winning the national title.”
Briggs said Oglesby, who
finished the fall with a stroke av
erage of 71.9, has played consis
tently well all season.
“Paul has just played super
this semester,” said Briggs, a
second-team all-America last
season. “He’s finished in the top
10 in every tournament we’ve
played.
“In this tournament, Paul and
I just buddy-buddied it real well.
We could have both shot 77s on
the final day and still won it by
one (stroke).”

United Press International
ONTIAC, Mich. — The
Rew York Jets insist they merely
took what the Detroit Lions gave
them. And the Lions gave them
everything.
1 Richard Todd and Wesley
Walker picked off everything
that wasn’t nailed down in the
Silverdome Monday night by
combining for a dub record-
tying three touchdowns in a 28-
13 romp over Detroit.
■ The Jets came up with a pair
of! fumbles and three intercep
tions but turned only one of the
turnovers into a score in raising
their record to 4-1 with their
fourth straight win.
k The stumbling Lions drop
ped their third post-strike deci
sion in a row following a pair of
prestrike victories.
“We took what they gave us,”
New York Coach Walt Michaels
said. “We passed a lot on first
down but most of them were
short. That’s what they gave us.”
Walker burned Detroit for
five catches and 164 yards — in
cluding touchdowns covering
56,41 and 19 yards. Todd threw
for 286 yards in the first half,
hitting 10 in a row atone stretch.
He finished the game 23-of-32
for 384 yards;
Walker set up a 1-yard sweep
around left end by Dwayne
Crutchfield with a pair of recep
tions, one for 30 yards and the
other for 18 yards. Crutchfield’s
score gave New York the lead
for good, 7-3.
The next time the Jets had
the ball Walker caught a pass
and blew by cornerback Wayne
Smith as the receiver scam
pered, untouched, on a 56-yard
jaunt.
Three straight running plays
the next time the Jets got the ball
sucked the Lions’ backs in and
Walker went over Smith again
for his 41-yard score and a 21-3
New York halftime lead.
Detroit held New York with
out a first down in the third
quarter arid attempted to get
back in the game when Gary
Danielson surprised the Jets by
opening a series with a 48-yard
touchdown pass to wide receiver
Mark Nichols — the Lions’ only
offensive touchdown of the last
11 quarters.
Seconds later, Smith sacked
Todd and caused a fumble. De
fensive end Dave Pureifory rec
overed — then fumbled where
linebacker Stan White could re
cover it on the Jets’ 1.
Two plays later Billy Sims
fumbled on a handoff as he
attempted a leap into the end
zone, with Ken Schroy recover
ing for New York.
