Staff and Wire Reports The Texas Christian Horned Frogs outscored the Texas A&M Men’s Basketball Team 7-2 in the final 1:52 of the game and defeated the Ag gies 80-76 Wednesday night. The loss dropped A&M to 9- 9 overall and 1-5 in Southwest Conference play this year. The loss took away from a career performance from A&M freshman forward Calvin Davis. In just 29 minutes of play, Davis scored a team-high 21 points and grabbed 13 re bounds, including seven off the offensive glass. In addition, Davis blocked six shots, a season-high for A&M and was the most by and Aggie since David Harris re jected nine Baylor Bear shots in a game in 1990. Down 73-70 with 1:01 left in the game, Davis brought the Aggies back with two foul shots and a slam dunk follow ing a Kyle Kessel miss to give A&M a 74-73 lead with 49 sec onds left in the game. But the Frogs came back with a free throw by guard Juan Bragg and a 15-foot jumper from Saipele Tuialii to give TCU a five-point bulge with just eight seconds re maining in the game. In addition to Davis’ fine performance, the Aggies were Cory Willis, The Battalion n Texas A&M junior forward Tracey Anderson and his teammates will hope to rebound from Wednesday's loss against TCU. led by junior forward Gary nottingham, who appeared ful ly recovered from a groin in jury earlier in the year. Nottingham recorded his third double-double of the sea son with a career-high 20 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore guard Kyle Kessel tied his season high with 10 assists, and forwards Dario Quesada and Tracey An derson each added 10 points. The Horned Frogs were led by guard Jeff Jacobs, who nailed 6-of-lO shots from the field en route to 21 points and six rebounds. Also posting big numbers for the Frogs was guard An thony Burks who canned 3-of- 5 three-pointers and finished the game with 16 points, seven assists and two steals. The Frogs led 44-38 at half time, but A&M rallied in the second half on the strength of a 12-5 second half run, capped off by a layup by Nottingham to give A&M a 50-49 lead with 15:50 left in the game. But the Frogs regrouped and took the game at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum before a crowd of 4,783.

Then there are the ultimate sources of humilia tion — the timed runs. We had our first one on Monday. Luckily, this one wasn’t for a grade, it was just so that we could “see where we’re at” before we have to run it for a grade. I wanted to tell my instructor that I didn’t need to run it because I could tell her where I’m at — last place. I ran it anyway, a timed mile that I was supposed to run in seven minutes. Needless to say, my time exceeded, greatly ex ceeded actually, seven minutes. That wasn’t the humiliating part though. What was humiliating about this run was the fact that the instructor wanted to make some announce ments afterwards. So as I finished my mile, in last place as I predicted, the rest of the class was al ready done and standing around the finish line watching me as I half-ran, half-dragged myself across the finish and listened to the instructors’ an nouncements between blackouts. My strength training class is another story. 1 There are about 40 guys and eight girls. Normally, I would like those odds; however, I doubt that any guy would be impressed with my weight-training prowess. You can’t blame a girl for trying though. Anyway, we are in the process of doing skills tests in this class. These tests include pull-ups, dips, a two-minute sit-up test, bench press and leg press. Out of a possible 30 points for this skills test, I have accumulated 4 (That’s without bench press and leg press) and have had the in structor say to me “Miss Lisa, we’re going to have to work on you.” Thank God for passyTail. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. My sister just got out of a tap dance kinesiology class that brought her the same humiliation, and I’ve had friends in snow skiing and sailing share with me their stories of humiliation as well. So if learning how to deal with humiliation is what I am supposed to be getting out of my kine siology classes than it’s good to know that it’s money well spent, plus. I’m actually starting to get in shape along the way. Who knows, by the end of the semester I might actually be able to run a mile in seven minutes. In the meantime, if you’re driving through cam pus and see a group of people running and there’s one person about 200 yards behind the rest, honk and wave, it’s probably me! □ Th< and h with I comp AUS dd m identit the Ur ball te; officia the cas Ron met w rector versiti Ohlem Oh: resen this w Wednt “Th and b concer Tragedy in Indiana: One player killed, five injured as basketball team’s van crashes □ The Indiana-Purdue- Indianapolis team bus struck a median and overturned Wednesday. COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) — One player was killed and five others were injured, along with their coach, when one of two vans carrying the Indiana-Pur- due-Indianapolis women’s bas ketball team crashed on icy In terstate 65. Shannon McPherson, the starting point guard who would have turned 21 on Thursday, was thrown from the van after it struck a medi an and overturned on the way back from a game at Indiana- Southeast in New Albany Tuesday night. She was pronounced dead at Columbus Regional Hospital. “This has been a tragedy for all of us at IUPUI,” athletic di rector Hugh Wolf said Wednesday. “It’s like losing a member of your own family. We don’t know the long-term effects on our players or our coaching staff at this point, but we will be watching them very closely. Our hearts go out to the family.” The team had stopped for dinner in Columbus, about 40 miles south of Indianapolis. State Police said coach Kim- ra Schliecher, 30, was driving north, about 5 miles north of Columbus, when the universi ty-owned van slid out of control and rolled over. The only .other major injury was to freshman Diane Hoover, of Indianapolis, who suffered a broken shoulder. She was treated at the Columbus hospital and re leased, along with Schliecher and players Haley James, Nicole Coddy, Sherry Cloud, and Tamica Williams. The other university van was not involved in the accident. “I can’t say enough about the coaches. They did a wonderful job in handling the situation. We’re not only concerned with the players’ well-being but with the coaches as well,” Wolf said. “This is every athletic direc tor’s nightmare. I can assure you every AD across the country thinks about this type of situation and prays that it doesn’t hap pen,” he said. The 5-foot-2 McPherson, who had eight points and four as sists in Tuesday night’s 71-63 victory, started 13 games this season and was averaging 3.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.1 as sists a game. She was a 1993 graduate of Indianapolis North Central High School and played at IUPUI as a freshman two years ago with her twin sister, Sheila, who has since trans ferred to Nebraska. Sports information directof Greg Seiter said the team’s next two games, at Bellarmine on Thursday and at Ashland on Saturday, have been cancelled. “Beyond that, we don’t know yet,” Seiter said. 1
