Red-Hot Aggies Incinerate Arkansas, 108-81
By KEVIN COFFEY
When you’re hot you’re hot and
the Texas Aggies were on fire as
they blew Arkansas out of G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum Saturday
afternoon, 108-82.
No one could remember a finer
performance by an Aggie basket
ball team and the 5,154 fans and
regional television audience saw
just how this year’s club is capa
ble of playing.
The entire game could not have
been much different if coach
Shelby Metcalf had written the
script himself. At points it
seemed like A&M could do no
wrong as shots kept falling in,

rebounds bounced into awaiting
Aggies’ arms and Aggie after
Aggie found himself open on fast
break opportunities.
Individual stars were too nu
merous to mention but consider
these performances:
• Randy Knowles, shooting from
what seemed like the third row
of the bleachers, hit 20 of 30 shots
and 2 of 3 charity tosses for 42
points. His 20 field goals repre
sent an A&M record in that cate
gory and his 42 tallies is the most
ever scored by an Aggie player
in G. Rollie White. He also led
both teams in rebounding with
18.
• Mario Brown, who controlled
the game like he invented it,
scored 20 points while tossing
eight assists and helped lead a
devastating A&M fast break.
• Mike Floyd, who helped
Brown control the game and lead
the fast break, scored 12 points,
tossed five assists and picked up
four rebounds and numerous loose
balls.
• Jerry Mercer, who started the
game in place of Cedric Joseph,
held Arkansas’ inside threat of
Dean Tolson to eight first-half
points, and just 11 for the game
and totally frustrated the Arkan
sas big boy tying him up at every
opportunity. Mercer also contrib
uted six points.
• Jeff Overhouse hit 16 points
while gathering in 15 rebounds
and tossing four assists.
The rebounding of Mercer,
Overhouse and Knowles, and later
Joseph’s started the fast break
that Arkansas just couldn’t han
dle. A&M got the ball off the
boards and down the court to set
up three-on-two and four-on-two
drives to the basket throughout
the game.
Even though A&M scored its
season high total in the game,
it was the tight defense, coupled
with the fast break, that broke
the game wide open.
A&M started defending the tal-
A&M Places First Overall
In Regional Games Tourney
A&M teams in chess, bridge, Ponzio won first individual hon-
billiards, bowling and table tennis
took first place overall among 20
colleges and universities at the
Association of College Unions-
International Region XII games
tournament.
Chess players Carl Childress
and Steve Hobart and bowlers
Bernie Ponzio, Larry Galvin and
Doug Ocker shared or won out
right regional championships.
TAMU scored 84 points to lead
all institutions, from Texas, Ar
kansas and Louisiana. The Uni
versity of Houston was second
with 83 and West Texas State,
the host university, scored 70
overall.
Dr. Dennis Driscoll, chief ad
visor to the Memorial Student
Center Recreation Committee, la
belled it a major accomplishment.
“We have been winning in men’s
bowling and chess several years,”
he noted, “but winning first over
all at Canyon was a major ac
complishment. Our people con
tributed exceptional effort to win
the award, especially the newer
groups such as table tennis,
bridge, billiards and the women’s
teams.”
In women’s bowling, the TAMU
team of Ponzio, Carole Bauer,
Sheila Murphy, Lisa Macias and
Cindy Rosenbaum placed fourth.

ors and paired with Bauer for
fourth in doubles.
Galvin was the top individual
scorer in men’s bowling. He and
Ocker were also the ACUI region
doubles champion. The TAMU
team of Galvin, Ocker, Mike Ste
wart, Bill Kettler and Galvan
Tomoka placed seventh.
Childress and Hobart tied for
first in team chess standings. In
third place for teams was David
Lewis and James Bell of A&M.
Childress and Lewis tied for third
in individual standings.
TAMU’s women’s bridge team
of Sherry Hinds and K. M. A.
Rahman placed third. Alan Fin-
kelstein and James Cermin were
seventh.
Deb Arcement took sixth and
Tom Wilson seventh in billiards.
The men’s table tennis team of

ented Hog duo of Tolson and Mar
tin Terry with a zone and switched
from man-to-man and back to the
zone throughout the contest.
Mario Brown ball hawked Terry
all over the court and held the
frustrated scoreless for the first
nine minutes of the game.
Arkansas led in the game only
twice, at 0-1 and 2-3 but found
themselves down by 10 with less
than five minutes gone off the
scoreboard clock.
Knowles once dribbled between
his defenders legs and laid it in-
Floyd tossed it over his head on
a drive and it fell in. Overhouse’s
sweeping hook found the mark
and Bob Gobin hit a 21-footer at
the buzzer to put the rallying
Ags up 51-31 at intermission.
The Aggies defense held Terry
to just six points in the opening
stanza and forced Arkansas into
10 turnovers.
The Razorbacks cut the lead
to 15 early in the second half as
Terry began to find the range on
short jumpers but the Aggies
offense found high gear again
as Brown and Floyd broke the
Arkansas press and the game
wide open.
A&M led by 21 with 16:11 re
maining and stretched it to 28
with 7:55 left, mainly on Knowles
cashing in on some good passes.
Webb Williams put the Ags over
the century mark with a pair of
charity tosses with 2:35 remain
ing and the score 100-78.
Knowles left the game with
1:10 remaining and 38 points to
his credit but Metcalf returned
his sharpshooting forward to the
line-up so he could break the rec
ord. Knowles promptly respond
ed with two lay-ups on passes
from Mercer and Williams for the
last points of the ball game.
Knowles’ performance was par
ticularly gratifying as his father
made the trip from Geneva, Ohio
to watch the game.
All-in-all, the Aggies hit 49 of
87 for a blistering 56.3 per cent
and a school record for field goals
and cashed in on 10 of 14 free
shots for 71.4 per cent.
Arkansas could find the range
on only 28 of 73 against the tough
A&M defense for 38.3 per cent
but the Hogs got 20 more free
shots than the Aggies and cashed
in on 26 of 34 for 76.5 per cent.
Needless to say, Aggies mentor
Shelby Metcalf was pleased with
the effort of his Aggies, especial
ly since they are out of conten
tion in the SWC title race.
“Everything was just going
well for us,” Metcalf said. “We
were just hot.
“That was the best I’ve ever
seen an A&M team play aii|
have to give a lot of crs
Mercer because he didn’t ltt|

Metcalf had nothing but j
for the play of Brown aadi)
