The men's swimming and diving team practiced for Saturday's meet versus Centenary College with a major theme in mind: taper time.

To break the monotony of training for primary strokes, head coach Richard Sybesma said Horned Frog swimmers would swim in off-events in Shreveport, La.. This "taper time" consists of a less rigorous competition and workout schedule and is intended to give the team a chance to rest before the Mountain West Championship meet at the end of February.

Track and field head coach Darryl Anderson knows all teams are not created equal. His expectations for the men's and women's squads are different, but Anderson still believes there is championship-talent on both teams.

"On the women's side, it's going to be a work in progress, because we just added three girls at semester...And we feel really good about all three of them, but it's going to take them some time to really get their legs underneath them," Anderson said.

Returning only one starting senior to the infield and slotting new starters in all but two infield positions usually doesn't bode well defensively for a baseball team that was on the cusp of a College World Series berth a season ago.

However, the No. 11 preseason ranked Horned Frogs will lean on the experience of the two returning infield starters while hoping that the new starters, one being a junior college transfer, will make a smooth transition into their starting roles.

Though Charles Dickens isn't required reading in many college classes, the men's basketball team could certainly identify with the best of times and the worst of times in their game versus No. 23 New Mexico.

A strong first half punctuated by a last second three-pointer from sophomore guard Ronnie Moss to bring the Horned Frogs (10-12, 2-5 MWC) within two quickly faded into memory as the team lost 73-57 Saturday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum thanks to a subpar second-half performance.

The death of the creator of iconic teenager Holden Caulfield may have a greater effect on faculty than on students, a university professor said.

J.D. Salinger, renowned American author of "The Catcher in the Rye," died Thursday at the age of 91. His death revealed a distinct generation gap between modern young adults and their World War II predecessors.

David Vanderwerken, an English professor, said the generation depicted in the novel's postwar setting was more invested in social issues than the modern generation is.

Across baseball, men's and women's tennis and men's and women's track and field, TCU will have introduced about fifty new players to the field, courts and track by the end of this semester.Featuring a...

J.D. Salinger's death signals another loss to the world of American literature. Salinger's most famous book, "The Catcher in the Rye," is a staple of high school reading lists all over the country. It is arguably one of the most beloved books published in the 20th century, but it is also one of the most challenged books of the century. The book quickly became an icon in American culture, solidifying itself as the ultimate insight into teenage angst. Holden Caulfield was the figure adolescent, youth and adult alike could identify with.

The women's tennis team has already bested its 2009 national ranking without even stepping onto the court.

The Frogs, who are set to make a play at the national championships, opened the season ranked two spots ahead of last year's finish.

The Frogs were ranked No. 27 on the initial Campbell/Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll.

Head coach Jefferson Hammond said that it was nice to be ranked in the top 30, but that his expectations were not yet met.

The No. 7 equestrian program (5-5-0) will host the University of Tennessee-Martin on Saturday for the team's only true home event of the spring season.

Head coach Gary Reynolds said the Horned Frogs will move forward into the spring season without Chloe Baker, who graduated in the fall.

"Just keep on going, that's all you can do," Reynolds said. "I've told the girls that Chloe was one of our great riders and was on the national championship team. We wish her the best. She's meant a lot to TCU while she was here, and we were glad to have her for that time."
