THE FRO&S HAVE COME UPON HARD T/MES . THE AGrC-fES IH/LL. HAKE / T EVEN HARDER SATURDAY / dp /?a? inchisti said )ing4 (oinlsif J need:. ggies go Frogging By BOB CASTER Senior Sports Writer B Depending on who you talk, to, the Texas A&M men’s bas- iketball team has either had the worst good showing or the best ltd showing of any team in the Southwest Conference since the the Christmas holidays. I The Aggies started the year rd in of/ on the right foot with a five- ■ Athldpoint win over Rice on Jan. 4, gesuripnly to be stomped three days theirlsjier in Barnhill Arena by aroos:Arkansas. But head coach Shel- ftheitilry Metcalf was quick to reassem- vicr bli his youngsters and renew ;ed sJheir confidence in themselves le^e in time for badly-needed wins lege, over Angelo State and Baylor. 1,Things seemed to be looking 1, McGfp for the Aggies. Then there coackiwas Houston. All things considered, though, the loss to the Cougars was not in the least way dis couraging. In fact it was highly encouraging. What was dis couraging was the win over Texas Wesleyan that followed. Not that non-conference wins aren’t important, but it helps when a team looks good in win ning. But in their most recent game at SMU, the Aggies looked neither bad in winning nor good in losing — they just got killed. And now they face TCU’s Kil ler Frogs. Don’t laugh, though. Coach Jim Killingsworth’s Killer Frogs may have an 0-5 conference re cord but it’s been said that they have potential, which is what most teams with losing records have. And don’t forget the TV fac tor. Saturday’s game will be tele vised by TVS and broadcast by KCEN-TV, channel 6 in Waco with the tipoff set for 2:10. The last two televised games the Aggies played were against Houston and Arkansas. That in itself is highly reminiscent of A&M’s football season — not that people these days would be lieve in jinxes or anything. But the Aggies should have their hands full dealing with jinxes of a different sort. Like TCU’s Dennis Nutt, the 6-2, 165-pound junior guard, who scored over 30 points twice last week against teams who could in no way be considered light weights. Nutt hit for 32 points against Arkansas after making a career-high 36 points earlier in the week against Houston. Snead leading tourney United Press International PHOENIX, Ariz. — J.C. Snead, Corey Pavin and Gary Hallberg fired rounds of 5- under-par 66 Thursday to share the first-round lead in the $400,000 Phoenix Open. Snead, nephew of legend Sam Snead, carded his 66 over the Phoenix Country Club layout by dropping five birdie putts. The 17-year tour veteran has not won since the 1981 Southern Open, but was 51st on the money list last year with more than $100,000. Pavin, a tour rookie, moved into a tie for the lead when he scored an eagle-3 on the 18th hole by dropping the ball into the cup with a pitching wedge from 40 feet. He won the 1983 South African PGA and also captured the German Open and the Calberson Classic before joining the PGA tour this year. He also played on the 1981 Wal ker Cup team while attending UCLA. Hallberg’s 5-under came on six birdies and a bogey. Ben Crenshaw, Lanny Wad- kins, Larry Mize, Russ Cochran, Don Hammond, and A1 Geiber- ger were tied for second at 67, one stroke ahead of a group of 12 that included Johnny Miller, Tom Kite, and Jim Simons. The start of play was delayed more than one hour as tempera tures plunged to 25 degrees during the early morning, freez ing the greens. They thawed shortly before 9 a.m. and the field of 144 pros began the opening round. Temperatures stayed near 50 degrees during the round and the greens were in good condi tion. omen face Hogs, look to even record 'ear s The Texas A&M women’s de<U< taskevbaU team returns to G. ustin Rollie White Coliseum to take on son,a Arkansas Saturday night at 7:30 hime' in an effort to even out a 1-2 iition conference record. 1 The Aggies are fresh off of a f 78-69 romp over SMU in which A&M’s leading scorer Lisa .Langston and center Michelle lllflf alum had a combined 56-point scoring effort.
