Aggies gig Frogs,
break loss streak
By BILL ROBINSON
Assistant sports editor
Michelle Tatum scored a
career-high 30 points Monday
night to lead the Texas A&M
women’s basketball team to an
85-69 victory over Texas Christ
ian in G. Rollie White.
The game broke a three
game Southwest Conference
losing streak and advanced the
Aggie’s record to 9-8 on the sea
son, 2-5 in conference. TCU
dropped to 5-13, 1-7.
TCU stayed close throughout
the first half — primarily be-
Two holes-in-one
cause they held Tatum to 11
points.
But Tatum, whose previous
high-game was 28 against
Southern Methodist, could
hardly be stopped after the
break and the Aggies pulled
away. She scored 12 of the First
16 Aggie points in the second
half.
Coach Cherri Rapp was all
smiles after the game.
“(Tatum) did a good job
tonight,” Rapp said. “We had
three losses in a row and were
beginning to get our heads
down.”
Rapp says the win will help
the team as it prepares to close
out the first-half of SWC action
Thursday in Houston.
“Houston is loaded with ta
lent,” she said. “They’ve got a lot
more size than we do.
“It’s really wide open when
they’re at home. They just run
and gun a lot. We’re going to try
and press them, force tur
novers.”
The Houston game begins at
4:30 in Hofheinz Pavillion and
precedes the men’s game.

Every golfer, from the hacker
to the pro, strives for the elusive
hole-in-one. Some golfers live
an entire lifetime without ever
seeing their shot travel from the
tee box to the cup in a single
stroke.
Dave Jones, a member of the
Texas A&M golf team, was for
tunate enough to experience the
ultimate golfer’s thrill not once,
but twice in the same round
Monday at the Bryan Municipal
Golf Course.
Texas A&M golf coach Bob
Ellis was astounded.
“It’s a very, very unusual feat
to get a hole-in-one,” he said.
“The odds are about one-in-a-
million. But to get two in one
round is almost unheard of.”
Starting out on the backside
of the course, Jones, a junior
from Dulles High School, sank
his first hole-in-one on the 12th
hole, a 180-yard par three, using
a 2-iron into the wind. He gave a
repeat performance on the
second hole, a 165-yd par three,
this time using a 4-iron.
“I couldn’t believe it, I was
just in a daze,” Jones said. “I was
barely able to finish my round. I
wasn’t playing too good at the
time so it kind of helped my
score.”
Jones, along with the rest of
the golf team, will be spending
the next two days qualifying for
a tournament in West Columbia
at Columbia Lakes Golf Course.

HOUSTON — Eighth-

Prussia, Pa., withdrew from a

Navratilova and Chris Evert
Lloyd, did not enter.

va of Czechoslovakia the No. 8

Gov. Mark White Tuesday named March 10 as
the special election date to fill the District 14 state
representative vacancy. Democratic Secretary of
State John Fainter said he did not know, nor had
he heard it discussed, that March 10 was the
beginning of spring break.
He said that March 10 had been described as a
“covenient day” by party officials.
But Fainter did say the election could have
been called earlier, possibly March 3, another
Saturday.

Student Senate opposes
election date
The bill states that because “students and faculty traditionally make
vacation and travel plans during the break and are therefore ex
pected to be out of town during the election, expecting such a large
number of voters to vote absentee is both an inconvenience and
increases the chances of misrepresentation of the 14th district’s
population.”
