Ah, sweet revenge.
One Aggie head coach, three as
sistants, and one team will be
searching for that Saturday at 7:30 as
the Arkansas Razorbacks leave the
security of the hills and venture into
the confines of the “Hollerhouse on
the Brazos”.
It will he, to quote Head Coach
Shelby Metcalf, “the most impor
tant game we’ve played in five
years. The Southwest Conference
lead will depend on the Hog-Ag
game for the second time in two
meetings. Arkansas’ 95-89 double
overtime victory in Fayetteville did
not knock the Ags from the lead but
did boost the Porkers into a tie for
first.
The Aggies however returned to
take 51 caroms to the Bears 26 in a
game that Metcalf described as good
but not great.
EKtHTl o’r ;r
Both teams won their Tuesday
night contests, A&M by 96-66 over
SMU and Arkansas by 70-61 over
TCU in Fort Worth. Thus a tie
would give either team sole posses
sion of first place and leave them
undefeated in the second half ofcon
ference play. The game will he the
start of the second seven games for
both teams.
Robert Birden, Kent Allison and
Ricky Medlock did most of the dam
age inflicted on the Ags. Birden hit
22 points, Allison hit 21 and Med
lock 18 while Charles Terry and
Daryll Saulsberry tied for the re
bounding mark at 9 each.
Parti

The Aggies major problem in the
televised Arkansas game of a week
past was an inability to break a
tenacious defense and to get defen
sive rebounds. Arkansas was par
ticularly effective in dismantling the
Aggie press. The previous Tuesday
A&M had pulverized SMU with
their vaunted press, but the Hogs
had the Ags well scouted.
Ray Roberts hit his season high ol
20 to lead the Ags, followed by Mike
Floyd s season high ofl8 and Sonny
Parker’s SWC high of 17. John
Thornton led rebounders in the last
Hog game with five.

may have eventually won on the of

NHL Blue’s Patrick
fourth in hockey clan
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Oak
land A s owner Charles O. Finley
and pitcher Vida Blue agreed on a
contract in old-fashioned negotia
tions Thursday, canceling their
scheduled afternoon trip to the ar
bitration table.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Craig Patrick
represents four generations of hoc
key tradition every time he steps on
the ice for the National Hockey
League’s St. Louis Blues.
“There always have been Patricks
in important positions in hockey,”
said Craig, whose father, Lynn, is a
senior vice president of the Blues
and a longtime NHL player, coach
and front office figure.
“I certainly don’t feel that being
part of the family was an over
whelming load to carry. It was more
of a feeling of great pride that the
family had accomplished so much.
The accomplishment started with
Craig’s great grandfather, Joseph
Patrick, who built the first artificial
ice rinks in Canada at Vancouver
and Victoria.
Joe Patrick’s sons, Lester and
Frank, organized the Pacific Coast
League in 1912 and supplied many
players when the NHL expanded in
1926. Both were important NHL
administrators for the next 20 years.
Lester’s sons, Lynn and Muzz,
both continued the family hockey
tradition first as NHL players and
later as coaches and managers.
Lynn was general manager of the
And the owner learned he was a
winner in baseball’s first arbitration
case of 1975.
Pitcher Ken Holtzman asked for
$112,000 in a hearing here Wed
nesday, but arbitrator John A.
Hogan chose Finley’s figure of
$93,000, the same total Holtzman
received in 1974 through an arbitra
tion victory.
Rudi was offered the biggest raise
of any of the A s this year, an esti
mated $15,000 boost to $70,000,
and probably settled for about
$75,000. Blue’s salary also is in that
neighborhood.
Tenace, who made $45,000 last
season, presumably received a
slight raise and said of Finley, “He
was very fair.
Rudi and Tenace both were losers
at the arbitration table a year ago,
but the A’s winners included Reggie
Jackson, for $135,000, and Sal
Bando, $100,000, who filed again
this year after Finley offered them
no raises.

Club Sports
SOCCER
The Texas A&M Soccer team will
host Baylor in a friendly match
Saturday at 11:00 a. m. on the soccer
field. The Aggie varsity whipped
Baylor twice during the regular sea
son, 5-2 and 4-0. The A&M second
team also defeated Baylor in both
games 2-1, and 6-1.
The soccer club’s biweekly meet
ing will be Wednesday in the Rud
der Tower at 7:30 p. m. Officers will
be elected for the coming year.
The senior Patrick quickly shipped
his son to Montreal to play junior
hockey.
“If he had stayed in Boston, he’d
have heard the boss’ son baloney all
the time,” said Lynn, who knew
about that from his days with the
New York Rangers when his father,
Lester, was the club’s general man
ager and coach. “My dad merely
said that if I was good enough, I’d
stay and ifl wasn’t, then he certainly
wasn’t going to have me around,”
recalled Lynn.
Finley had the morning off to talk
with Blue and his attorney because
the case of Joe Rudi was called off
when the left fielder agreed to terms
Wednesday night. Gene Tenace,
another of the 13 A s who originally
filed to go through baseball’s year-
old arbitration system, also signed
Wednesday night.
There were other dropouts
around the major leagues, including
pitcher Pat Dobson of the New York
Yankees, out-fielders Cesar
Geronimo and George Foster of the
Cincinnati Reds and pitcher Don
Carrithers and infielder Boh Stin
son of the Montreal Expos.
“I think a ballplayer can do better
with me out of arbitration than in, ”
Finley said but admitted, “I got my
brains beat out last year.”
