about two weeks.
In Sarasota, Fla., pitcher A1
Hrabosky said he will close his
long-running performance of

earned him that nickname — if
he makes the team.
“The last few years, 1 was only
doing it because people ex
pected me to," said Hrabosky,
33, who was given a tryout by the
White Sox. “It had become a
show.”
The world champion St.
Louis Cardinals completed their
second day of workouts for the

Willie McGee and David Green
and pitcher Dave LaPoint, all of
whom are participating in the

all said they were close to an
agreement.

Nash expects fourth-place finish
Swim team at SWC meet
&M tennis team shocks
Wichita State in tourney
by Frank L. Christlieb
Battalion Staff
Aggie swimming coach Mel
Nash says he hopes for a few
surprises at the Southwest Con
ference Swimming and Diving
Championships, which open to
day at the University of Texas
and last through Saturday.
Nash, whose 8-4 squad hasn’t
been ranked this season, enters
the meet with hopes that the
Aggies can finish among the top
five teams in the league. But
with a strong performance,
Nash says, Texas A&M may
crack the polls that come out af
ter the meet.
In respect to the national
rankings, Nash and his team
find themselves in an odd predi
cament. The Houston Cougars
are ranked No. 20 in the nation.
The Aggies defeated Houston
75-38 earlier in the season. That
would seem to indicate a Top 20
spot for Texas A&M.
Not so. It all comes down to
politics, Nash says.
“We got close to the Top 20
during the season, but we never
broke through with the one out
standing time that could get us
into the rankings,” he said in
Austin Wednesday night. “I’m
hoping we can set a few people
on their heels and that we can be
nationally ranked after this
meet.
“We really just need a little
publicity on the national level.
All year long we’ve been sort of
hiding in the bushes. The dis
appointing thing is that we’re
not even on the list of teams that
receive votes but don’t receive
enough to make the rankings.”
When Nash refers to an “out
standing time,” he’s talking ab
out a situation like that of the
Cougars. Houston’s Feng Siong
Ang is ranked No. 1 in the na
tion in the 50-yard freestyle with
a time of 20.03 — three-tenths
of a second faster than his
nearest competition.
That kind of top ranking is
what the Aggies don’t have,
although freshman Chris O’Neil
is ranked fourth nationally in
the 100-yard butterfly and
freshman John Heldenfels is
ranked sixth in the same event.
But national rankings aside,
Nash says he and his swimmers
want to perform well enough to
beat Houston, which probably
would put them fourth behind
Texas, SMU and Arkansas.
Nash said the Longhorns, rank
ed No. 1 in the nation, and the
Mustangs, ranked No. 5,
shouldn’t have much trouble
staying ahead of their oppo
nents in the meet.
The Aggies, who finished
fifth in last year’s SWC meet,
may have trouble catching the
12th-ranked Arkansas Razor-
backs, he said.
“It looks interesting,” he said.
“Arkansas and Houston are
really strong teams. I’d say
Houston, Arkansas and A&M
are all around the same range,
but Arkansas has an edge be
cause of their divers. They have
five in the meet and they’re all
ranked divers, whereas only two
of our four divers are in that
category. The diving probably
gives Arkansas at least a 40-
point edge over us.
“We feel pretty confident ab
out how we’re going to perform
in the meet. It’s tough to guess
how the points are going to
come out when you have several
teams around the same level. 1
do believe we can do well and
we’re hoping for fourth.”
Nash said the Aggies “aren’t
nervous or scared of anybody.”
The freshmen, including O’Neil
and Heldenfels, need to per
form well, Nash said.
