Page 6 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, JAN, 27, 1976 Rice becomes fifth basketball victim By TONY GALLUCCI Battalion Staff Writer faring their first conference defeat, the Aggies outlasted a scrappy bunch r „ of Rice Owls to pick up their fifth Off to a sluggish recovery after suf- con ference win, 85-77. The Ags pulled ahead late in the first half at 40-22, but Rice poured in 10 straight points, six on free throws, to narrow the margin to eight, 40-32 at the half. Coach Shelby Metcalf put the blame on himself for the narrow win. “I killed our momentum in the first half. I substituted for the sake of sub stituting instead of need, ” said Met calf. “We had ‘em 40-22 and were playing good basketball. We lost the momentum and never got it back." ler in as many trips to Fayetteville, with just as much controversy. Senior post man Barry Davis goes skyward against Rice’s Dave Louwerse.

Boryla was a substitute for a sub stitute. Minnesota’s Fran Tarkenton was picked for the game but had a sore arm and was scratched. Dallas’ Roger Staubach, who was chosen to replace Tarkenton, had sore ribs as a result of a Super Bowl pounding and couldn’t make it, either. National Football League officials tried to get New Orleans’ Archie Manning, but he reported a sore arm. So did Steve Bartkowski of At lanta and James Harris of Los Angeles. They finally settled on Boryla, a sometimes starter in his second year in the league. Boryla’s scoring pass to Gray cap ped a 30-yard drive set up by a razzle-dazzle punt return that saw Detroit’s Lem Barney take a lateral and race 50 yards to the AFC 30. It put the NFC in the lead for the first time and overcame what ap peared to be a commanding lead sparked by two long punt returns by Billy Johnson of the Houston Oilers.

The lead was cut to six, the smallest since A&M took the lead early. Freshmen Jarvis Williams and Karl Godine added a touch of former Kashmere days, by teaming together and splitting 36 of the Aggies’ 85 points. Williams was seven of 11 from the field and four of five from the line in scoring his career high total at A&M. Sonny Parker hit 15 points, Barry Davis connected on seven of ten shots from the field to score 14 points and Ray Roberts was credited with ten points to put all Aggie starters in double figures. The Razorbacks outlasted the Ags 93-91, scoring on an unmolested drive to the bucket as the buzzer was supposed to sound at the end of the second overtime period. Sonny P took a long jumper with 18 seconds remaining in regulation time to give the Ags the tie after the Hogs had been up by as much as 13 and had never been behind. Barry Davis had recovered the hall on a rebound, hurried downcourt and shot. He missed, hut gathered up his own re bound and shot again before time ran out. No one was quite sure when time ran out, though, as the timekeeper had to be relied uixm since the Fieldhouse clock wasn’t working. Moncrief, who layed in the winning basket. The tip had come after Wally Swanson wrestled Schulte to the floor after Sonny took a shot and mis sed with seven seconds remaining. The loss and the win bring the Ag gies’ record to 5-1 in conference and 12-4 overall. Tech is tied with the Ags at 6-1 for the conference lead after outlasting SMU in a Lubbock thriller. SMU remains the only probable contender besides Tech with a 5-3 slate in SWC play. Houston, Arkan sas and Baylor are still mathematical contenders with four losses apiece, but the race must really tighten for any of them to really compete. Metcalf thought it took longer than five seconds (supposedly the time remaining) when Jack Schulte got the tip and tossed long to Sidney The Ags travel to Austin to play Texas on Wednesday, and then go to Ft. Worth for a matchup with TCU on Saturday.
