A&M swimmers take shots at Olympic trials
The Battalion News Services
Texas A&M swimmers Laura
Grimes and Robert Flemming took
their best shot at
making the U. S.
Olympic swim
team this week in
the Phillips 66
National Swim
ming Champi
onships in Indi
anapolis.
Grimes, the
only senior on
the A&M wom
en's swim team,
finished third in
Grimes
her 100-meter breaststroke head
with a time of 1:14.54.
Fifteen year-old Anita Nall of
Towson, Md., won the event with
a time of 1:09.29.
Assistant coach Jay Holmes
said Grimes is concentrating on
the NCAA Championships which
will begin March 26.
"She didn't feel right for this
meet," Holmes said. "Physically,
she wasn't prepared."
Fleming, a sophomore red-
shirt, finished 18th in the men's
100-meter freestyle with a person
al best time of 51.23.
Matt Biondi, the world record
holder in the event and 1988 gold
medal winner, won the event with
a time of 49.10.
"Robert swam an excellent
race," Holmes said. "He beat a lot
of people at this meet that he's
never beaten before. Thirty-six
people made the cuts, so 18th was
a strong showing for him."

and women's swim teams will
send a small contingent (eight
men and eight women) to the In

hopes of qualifying to the NCAA
Championshi ps.
The meet will begin Saturday.
"We're shooting to get our re
lays qualified," Holmes said.
"The men's 200-freestyle relay is
currently 12th in the nation, and
they take the top 12 for the
NCAA's. We'll be looking to bet
ter our time because we're the
team on the bubble that other
schools will be looking to knock
off."
Holmes said the women's 200-
freestyle relay is sitting at No. 17,
and the 400-medley relay is cur
rently ranked 14th in the nation.
"They've got some work to do
if they're going to jump up into
the top 12," he said.
Individually, John Hudspeth is
looking to qualify in the 200-back
stroke. Currenty, Hudspeth is
ranked 24th. The top 16 finishers
qualify.
Men's tennis faces stiff competition
The Battalion News Services
CORPUS CHRISTI - The
Texas A&M men's tennis team
will put its 8-0 record on the line
this Friday at the H.E.B. Team
Championships here.
The Aggies, off to their fastest
start ever under longtime coach
David Kent, will compete against
five teams ranked in the Top 25.
The eight straight wins is the
longest winning streak of Kent's
14-year career. The previous
longest streak was six.
v 'We've got a good team this
year, and we're playing extreme
ly well when the match is on the
line," Kent said. "We're on a roll
right now."I hope it continues."
The Aggies first match will be
against Big Eight powerhouse
Colorado at 9 a.m. The Buffaloes
are ranked 24th nationally.
The Aggies have defeated
Arkansas and Oklahoma State,
two traditionally top 20 teams,
this season. However, Kent, still
sees the H.E.B. tournament as
one of the biggest challenges of
* the season.
"We'll see just how good we
are against the big boys down
there," he said. "We've proven
we can play with anyone. Now
we just have to consistently play
well to take a step to the next lev
el of college tennis."
Staley, women's team ready for two in Utah
The Battalion News Services
The Texas A&M women's
tennis team will begin one of its
toughest road trips of the 1992
season today when the Lady Ag
gies take on No. 17 Brigham
Young in Provo at 2:30 p.m.
A&M will face No. 23 Utah
Saturday in Salt Lake City.
Leading the Lady Aggies is
senior All-American Lynn Staley
who will be shooting for a school
record 89th career singles victory.
Staley will likely face BYU's
Evica Koljanin, who Staley beat
in 1991. Staley currently is tied
with 1987 All-American Kim
Labuschagne with 88 career
wins.
"The career wins record is
something Lynn's been shooting
for all her career," Lady Aggie
coach Bobby Kleinecke said.
"Now it's well within her reach,
but it's not going to be easy
against this type of competition.
"Lynn will have to be at the
top of her game to beat BYU's
and Utah's No. 1 player. But
Lynn always seems to rise to the
occasion."
Moore, Owls surprise Longhorns, 103-97
Loss leaves Texas tied with Houston for first place in Southwest Conference race
HOUSTON (AP) — Rice's Marvin Moore
scored a career-high 26 points and the Owls
took advantage of foul-prone Texas for a 103-
97 victory Thursday night that kept the
Longhorns from clinching a tie for the South
west Conference basketball title.
The Longhorns' loss left them tied with the
Houston Cougars for first place in the confer
ence with a 10-3 record.
Texas, 20-10 for the season and seeking its
first outright league title since 1974, plays
Texas A&M on Sunday, while Houston plays
Southern Methodist.
A three-way tie for first is still possible,
should both Texas and Houston lose and Texas
Christian (9-4) beat Texas Tech on Saturday.
The Owls, with an identical 20-10 season
record, reached the 20-victory plateau for the
first time since the 1953-54 season.
Rice's 8-6 league mark, the Owls have the
No. 4 seed in the post-season conference tour
nament.
The Owls, trailing 46-45 at the half, scored
the first six points or the second half and bat
tled to a 69-69 deadlock on a pair of free
throws by Torrey Andrews with 9:50 left in the
game.
From that point, the Owls outscored the
Longhorns 19-7 and took an 88-76 lead with
4:36 left to play. Rice's Kenneth Rourke hit
three straight baskets during the run.
Rice's charge was aided by the Longhorns'
foul troubles.
Benford Williams fouled out with 4:55 to
play and Dexter Cambridge and Albert Burditt
played the final nine minutes with four fouls
each.
The Owls had to overcome a career high3f
points by B.J. Tyler, whose 3-point shooting
helped the Longnoms to their halftime lead.
Texas led 11-10 when the Longhorns hil
four consecutive 3-point baskets, two eachbv
Rencher and Tyler, for a 23-10 lead withl3:tt
left in the half.
But the Owls staged a 9-0 run to get bad
into the game.
Trailing 37-30, Rice went on a 9-0 run fora
39-37 lead but the Longhorns held on for a &
45 lead at the half.
Texas went 4:39 without a basket during
Rice's charge.

HUY NGUYEN/The Battalion
Tony Barone Jr. listens to his father, A&M coach Tony Barone, give
some of his basketball wisdom during one of the Aggies' games.
Continued from Page 3
The younger Barone also has
suffered from back pains ever
since he threw his back out at the
beginning of the season. Both
Barones claim these are the rea
sons he has struggled this season.
Barone Sr. said seeing his son
on his team has been enjoyable,
but all the problems associated
with it makes it harder to handle.
"People tell you, Tf you can't
coach your son, you shouldn't
have him on your team,'" he said.
"My response to that is I enjoy
having him on the team because
he is my son. That's the fun part
of it.
"What he puts up with is not
fun. Whether Tony would be a 25-
point scorer or whether he's a
two-point scorer. I'm not so sure it
would be fun on either end of the
totem pole."
Playing time is not all the
Barones have had to face this win
ter. Both met life-and-death situa
tions before a game with Baylor
on Jan. 18 when carbon monoxide
infiltrated the Aggies' locker
room, postponing the game and
sending the entire A&M team and
coaching staff to the hospital.
Barone Jr. said the experience
was twice as troubling for him be
cause he had to worry about the
safety of his father.
"It was real creepy because not
only was my team in jeopardy, but
my dad was," he said. "He's very
stubborn in the fact that he cares
about people so much that he's
not going to worry about what's
going on with him.
"I was worried that he would
be really hurt."
Eight days later, Corinne
Barone, Tony Sr.'s mother, died af
ter suffering a heart attack two
days earlier. It was a crushing
blow to a family that already had
taken some hard knocks.
"One of the sad parts of that
whole issue was that he (Barone
Jr.) had a picture of me and him in
a game that I was coaching,"
Barone Sr. said. "He was sending
it to her, but he didn't get it off to
her before she passed away. That
was a tough thing for him."
The series of tragic events af
fected Barone Jr. greatly. In fact,
he even debated sitting out of the
game against Houston three days
later.
"At the time, I didn't really
feel like playing," he said. "(Af
ter) I suited up .for the Houston
game, I asked my dad, 'Should I
even suit up for this?' I was just
being honest with him. I didn't
want to put him in a situation
where he put me in when I just
didn't want to play."
The season has been equalV
frustrating for both father and soi l
Not only have they experienced'
personal tragedies, out the two are
trying to stammer through a sea
son that currently finds the Aggies
in the Southwest Conference cel
lar.
Barone Sr. said that the pluses
of coaching his son are far out
weighed by the minuses, but the
sacrifice that his son made to come
to A&M makes it seem worth
while.
"Tony came to A&M, but he
could have easily stayed al
Creighton," Barone Sr. said. "He
came up to visit A&M and he
liked the campus, and he liked
people.
"But that's not why became
here. He came here because one
day he said to my wife, 'Dad'i
gonna need some bodies this year,
and I want to be a part of that.'
Both know that as long as
there's more than one Barone on
the bench, there will be someone
finding fault with their actions
But no matter what happens, the)
will always have each other.
"As I tell the team, we have
whole lot of supporters and we
have a whole lot of paratroopers,
Barone Sr. said. "The less para
troopers we have, the better off we
are.
"So the people who don't un
derstand the whole workings of
our team, I don't pay any attention
to them. They're gonna be miser
able their entire life."
Son feels pressure to play for father in big-time program
Continued from Page 3
Tommy would become a part of a talent-
rich Texas backcourt that included sophomore
B. J. Tyler and freshman Terrence Rencher.
Tyler transferred from DePaul after playing in
17 games and leading the Blue Demons in as
sists in four straight games.
Rencher was named New York's Mr. Bas
ketball last season, averaging 17.4 points, 5.6
rebounds and 3.9 assists per game as a senior.
But Tommy has played only 40 minutes in
19 games this season. He has scored four
points and has two assists.
The numbers aren't much when compared
to his accomplishments in high school.
In two years at Austin Westlake, Tommy
was named all-district twice and all-Cen-Tex
Ofie year. As a senior, he averaged a team-high
28 points per game.
"I'm not really pushed into any (difficult)
situations (at Texas)," Tommy said. "The only
pressure I ever feel is when I play at home
sometimes.
"I think part of it is*because I'm from Austin
and the fans around there want to see me do
well.
"Sometimes I think that makes me a little
timid as far as offense," he said. "I wasn't tak
ing some shots. But I think I'll get use to that."
When Tommy decided he wanted to attend
Texas, his father sent him to Mercersburg
Academy in Pennsylvania, where he averaged
a team-high 19.1 points per game.
"I put him in prep school for a year to get
away from home and think," coach Penders
said. "He told me he wanted to play for me. I
wanted him to make sure that's what he really
wanted.
"About halfway through the season, he
said he still wanted to come to Texas. I ex
plained to him that I wouldn't offer him a
scholarship, because I wanted to use as many
scholarships as I could.
"So if he came, he would be a walkon."
But when Tommy arrived in Austin there
was anything but a welcoming committee. An
Austin-area newspaper implied that Coach
Penders and his staff had turned down a schol
arship offer to Georgetown High School star
Lance Hughes to allow Tommy a place on the
team.
A 6-foot-4 guard, Hughes averaged 22
points and 10 rebounds a game as a senior and
was selected All-district, All-region and All
state three times. He is now part of Texas
Tech's starting backcourt.
But Penders said Hughes was not offered a
scholarship because the talented UT backcourt
would keep him from playing his first two
years. Penders thought Hughes would do bet
ter at a school where he could contribute right
away.
"You're in a situation where people aren't
always educated," Coach Penders said
"Lance Hughes was a great player, but he
didn't necessarily fit into our program at the
time.
"I always felt Tommy could be a walkon
here. We ended up giving him a scholarship
but if we need it, he knows we'll take it away.'
But coach Penders knows that his son oo
longs on the team.
"He's very athletic and is a solid contribu
tor on our team," the coach said. "Someday*
in practice he lights it up. He's the best 3-point
shooter on the team."
Penders admitted he probably doesn't play
Tommy enough. The coach said it may be the
fear of special treatment for his son or it may
simply be a bad coaching decision.
For Tommy Penders, it just doesn't paytu
be the coach's son.
