The Ags often were rag ged in appearance, yet enthusiastic in their approach. It appeared that with hard work and a concentrated effort, that the Aggies would he ready to compete when the confer ence schedule begins in January. side the Ags moved into a command ing lead. Coach Shelby Metcalf played nearly everyone on the team, searching for the right five man combination. But that is still a month away and A&M still has quite a few games to play before that date arrives. Last night against TLC Wally Swanson, Steve Jones and Dave Goff looked real good. Swanson led all scorers with 16 points, while Jones had 14 and Goff had 13. The Aggies played better than the score indicates. Often they had men tal lapses which resulted in blowing big leads. This comes from lack of experience and team leadership. The Aggies mainly consist of freshmen, sophomores and junior college transfers. One transfer who lookedgm; night was Willie Foreman. Fon had nine points and four rein His inside play was particul good, with defense being hisst suit. A& M’s best ally is neitherdtl nor offense; it’s time.

His pinpoint passing and daring drives toward the basket kept the Aggie attack alive when it ap peared to be sagging. Goff, at 5-10, often got loose under the hoop and layed in a couple of baskets amongst the land of the giants. His guard play was at times outstanding.

He took control of the game from the outset, hitting everything he shot. His outside shooting and strong rebounding helped A&M to a quick 17-3 lead. When he got in foul trouble is when that lead began to diminish. By halftime the Aggie lead was cut to two. Poor shooting and rebound ing accounted for this letdown. It was all A&M in the second half though. Goff got the team moving, and with Jones hitting from the out- Balanced scoring and strong re bounding were the main ingredients utilized by the Texas A&M women’s basketball team as they raced past Texas Southern University 84-66. The victory brings the women’s rec ord to 4-2. Senior Sally Morisse paced the Aggie attack with 13 points, followed closely by Susan Kimbro and Cindy Gough with 12 points apiece. Karen Muskiet had nine points, while Von Burn added eight more. The contest was a close one throughout the first half. Texas Southern had a tall team, and con trolled the hoards in the first 10 min utes of the game.
