What a difference a few days
make.
Only three short days ago the
AggieS were lustily cheering the
exploits of the Rice Owls who
had just boosted A&M into the
undisputed lead in the Southwest
Conference cage chase with a
75-73 victory over the Baylor
Bears in Waco.
The time for thank-yous has
now passed, however, as Coach
Shelby Metcalf’s cagers square
off against the upset-minded
Owls Saturday night at 8 in
Houston hoping to hang onto their
lofty position.
After a slow start, Coach Don
Knodel’s Owls have become one
of the hottest teams in this sec
tion of the country. Rice fol
lowed their surprise victory over
the Bears with a close run at the
nation’s 17th rated basketball
power, Dayton, Thursday night.
The Owls had a 55-52 lead over
the Flyers following a 20-foot
jumper by Tom Myer hut then
went the final 5Vj minutes with
out scoring as Dayton edged out
a 58-55 victory. iMyer, who led
all scorers Thursday night with
23 points, Greg Williams and
Gary Reist give the Owls three
of the finest outside shooters in
the SWC.
At the first of the season the
Owls were hurt by a lack of con
sistency from their inside men.
This problem seems to have been
solved in the past few games as
Coach Knodel has received fine
play from such players as Jim
Naples (6-6), Steve Wendel (6-8),
Marty Tendler (6-5), Terry Tim
merman (6-7), and Jim Hubenak
(6-7).
In the last meeting between the
two schools, the Aggies came
away with a hard-fought 90-82
triumph before regional television
cameras in College Station. The
Aggies gradually pulled away
from Rice in the second half of
that game after leading only
38-36 at the half.
Williams, who has been among
the SWC’s top scorers since the
opening of the season, was bot
tled up fairly well by the Aggie
defense and was held to 14 points
while Naples scored 18 and Reist
added 11. The Aggies were able
Fish Seek Third
Straight At Rice
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
The Texas Aggie Fish travel to
Houston Saturday for a 6 p.m.
contest with the Rice Owlets
looking for their third straight
win after thumping the Texas
Yearlings here Tuesday night.
The Fish upped their season to
6-2 and their conference mark to
3-2, with an upset 89-71 victory
after losing to the Yearlings by
50 points in Austin two weeks
ago. In a confrontation in Col
lege Station last Saturday, the
Fish polished off the Owlets,
86-72 to bounce back from two
consecutive losses.
In the statistics department,
Jeff Watkins continues to lead
the Fish both scoring and re
bounding. Through eight games
this season, he has maintained a
23.1 average in scoring and 13.6
rebounds per outing. Skip Carle-
ton backfe him up in the scoring
race hitting at a 15.5 clip. Fol
lowing in order are Rick Duplan-
tis (14.9), Robert Threadgill
(10.0), and Frank Farnsworth
(9.9).
In rebounding, Duplantis has
really come to life in the last two
games to raise his average to
10.4 per contest. He is trailed by
Threadgill with 7.6, Carleton with
5.0, and Farnsworth with 4.5.
In team play this year, the
Fish have averaged 79.1 ppg.
while their eight opponents have
a 76.0 norm. They also hold a
good edge in rebounding with a
51.0 per game mark to 44.6 for
the opposition. The Fishs’ shoot
ing percentage is also good with
a 45.7 per cent mark to 42.2 for
their foes.
The Fish are expected to start
Watkins, Carleton, Duplantis,
Farnsworth, and Threadgill, while
the Owlets will counter with Don
Snyder (6-3), Leroy Martin (6-4),
Ted Melady (6-6), Dan McGuire
(5-10), and Mike Skaer (6-7).
