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.
