Ags face toughest week yet
on
By TONY GALLUCCI
Battalion Staff Writer
“Our season is pretty much on the
line this week.” That’s pretty much
how Head Basketball Coach Shelby
Metcalf summed up the week ahead
as the Aggies face SMU in Dallas and
return home for a TV date against
Texas Tech.
The Aggies finished off Baylor
78-63 in one of their finest confer
ence games of the waning season.
Sonny Parker blitzed everything
Saturday taking home 32 points, 13
rebounds, three assists and five ste
als. Parkers’ family was in town for
the game, something which caused
him to have a top-flight game last
year, also.
The next two games are crucial for
the league-leading Ags as they go on
the road against their number one
and two threats for the top spot.
SMU will be tough at home, having
lost only one game there this year, a
non-conference affair.
But the Ags won’t wait for a loss.
Generally picked to finish second or
third this year, the Ags took the pre
season favorites. Tech, for a rough
ride on their home court in Lubbock.
The Ags’ only loss in SWC play this
year came at the hands of Arkansas in
the Hills. SMU not only bopped the
Hogs at home but also skinned them
in the Ozarks.
The Ags had a good game against
Baylor but must improve to take on
the streaking Mustangs, who have
won five straight. The Ags shot a
poor 38.6 per cent in blasting the
Bears. They did scrape 53 rebounds
from the boards in one of their
tougher rebounding games of the
season. The Ags continued to play
well assist-wise gaining 12 and cut
down on turnovers, losing only 10.
SMU head coach Sonny Allen is
adamant about his team’s chances,
“We just have to win this one. If we
can beat Texas A&M, the race will be
decided in the final week. If Texas
A&M wins they will be in the
driver’s seat. Texas Tech must play
at A&M and our place. Arkansas also
goes to A&M.”

Desperation overcomes the victim
at the free throw line. His whole life
flashes before him on a clear glass
screen. Coaches hope their kid has a
crystal clear mind.
Last week, the Texas A&M In
tramural held their annual free
throw contest.
Larry Rogers won the men’s con
test, hitting 21 in a row. Ed Pen
nington made 19 out of 20 to grab
second. Dan Welsh was third.
Connie Karcher won the women’s
contest, hitting 14 out of 20. Yvette
Vernor and Laurel Maddox tied for
second. They hit 14 out of 20, also,
but Karcher made 5 in a row, while
Vernor and Maddox made only 4 in a
row. Pam Williams was third.
Rogers, Barton and Husak hit 55
out of 60 to win the men’s team com
petition. Jeff Hough, Pennington
and Mike Kolar made 50 to place
second. James Siegfried, Jim Tyree
and Lynn Saha were third.
