The inconsistent officiating
caused a lack of control of the
ball game, and this ended in the
fight. An incident in the last
A&M-Baylor game set the stage
for Tuesday night. Tom Stanton,
the Bears’ flashy guard, threw a
cup of water on his A&M counter
part, Mario Brown.
Animosity built up between the
two, and there was little doubt
Tuesday that Stanton had more
in mind than clean basketball. On
numerous occasions the brash sen
ior elbowed Brown, causing heated
exchanges during the first half.
The inconsistent calls by Smith
and Penn antagonized the situa
tion, and the game was stopped
several times for cooling off pe
riods. The only trouble here was
that the lectures given by the
officials were one - sided. More
than once the warnings consisted
of both officials and Stanton
shouting at Brown.
After at least one of these
scenes, Stanton jabbed an elbow
into Brown’s stomach. Metcalf’s
technical foul immediately follow
ed the officials’ refusal to either
call a foul or reprimand Stanton
for kicking Brown in the groin.
Many paper cups hit the floor
during the game, and one didn’t
have to listen well to hear de
mands for fisticuffs. This includes
several attempts by Baylor stu
dents to stir up trouble with Ag
gie yell leaders.
The Texas Christian cheerlead
ers did an outstanding job last
Saturday in controlling their
crowd in Ft. Worth. In a poten
tially dangerous atmosphere, a
fight for the league lead late in
the season, Frog fans were chan
nelled by organized cheers and the
playing of spirit songs into an
organized booster unit building up
their team.
The incident has been compared
to the fight that highlighted the
A&M-Baylor game in 1969. The
two are comparable in that the
officials lost control and were
unable to perform their duties in
professional manner. Also, a
Bear “hot dog,” Tom Friedman,
was involved then. His flagrant
physical play spelled his downfall
—-and knockout.
This fight was between A&M
players and Baylor students.
Many students sitting on court
level, mixed it up quickly. It’s
a sad state of affairs when fans
resort to swinging chairs to make
their contribution to school spirit.
Assistant Coach Jim Culpepper
has a lump on his head as a re
sult of one such incident. Rick
Duplantis was knocked off his
feet by several Baylor fans. That
wasn’t enough, though, because
when teammate Jeff Overhouse
arrived on this particular scene,
these Bear supporters were pound
ing on Duplantis’ bandaged knee.
They had already hit him in the
face with a folded metal chair.
Yet, as brutal as this was, the
real fry job should be done on
the officials. For similar scenes
to be avoided, the SWC needs
consistent officiating and mature
people in the striped shirts. One
example that comes to mind was
the Bluebonnet Classic in De
cember.
Smith was calling the A&M-
Michigan State game, and he gave
an MSU assistant a technical
foul for calling him “Bob” instead
of “Smith.”
Tuesday night’s incident will be
investigated, and Baylor fans will
gripe about the “dirty Aggies,”
but is wasn’t an A&M woman
who hit Brown in the face with
her purse. It wasn’t an A&M
yell leader who refused to make
an effort to calm his student body
down. And it wasn’t A&M
coaches, players and statistics
crew who would not admit that
Stanton was looking for a fight.

“QUALITY FIRST”
sports press were present. Jack
Gallagher of the Houston Post,
Roy Edwards of the Dallas Morn
ing News and Charles Carder of
the Houston Chronicle saw what
went on with an unbiased eye.
While they may blast Metcalf for
losing his cool, they do not say
that Stanton is the angel of the
game.
A&M must take every precau
tion to prevent something like
this from happening in the next
two games at home. Definitely
in contention for the title, the
Aggies must win against Rice
and Texas. Under the circum
stances, restraint is a dire neces
sity for the A&M students allowed
to sit at court level.
The obscenities and bad feel
ings after the game were heated.
This does not happen as a rule
at G. Rollie White Coliseum. The
atmosphere is kept positive. The
only paper cup thrown this year
was tossed by a TCU student,
and he didn’t see the rest of the
game.
A vignette of Tuesday night
was a Baylor student throwing
trash at Metcalf after the game
while making an obscene gesture.
“You’re a disgrace,” he shouted
paradoxically.
Metcalf cannot be excused for
letting what was inside him come
out. But the reasons for his
actions add up to a considerable
problem.
Tuesday night cannot be com
pared to the chicken and the egg.
In other words, the referees were
not making bad calls because
Metcalf got mad. The inconsis
tencies and refusals to control a
game that indicated trouble
throughout got the better of the
A&M coach, and he paid for it.
Let’s hope the conference lead
ership sees fit to prevent such
results by eliminating the causes.
