It was a February evening in
Houston. Texas A&M had just lost
the services of their two outstanding
freshman, Karl Godine and Jarvis
Williams, due to recruiting
violations. This sudden move by the
Southwest Conference (SWC)
fathers caused Shelby Metcalf to do
some hurried changes in his starting
line-up.
With the help of Wally Swanson
and Steve Jones, Metcalf coached
one of the most brilliant games of
his career as the Aggies stormed
past the Cougars 94-80. Two games
later Texas A&M had clinched the
SWC crown.
It probably won’t start the Aggies
towards another conference cham
pionship, but the game tomorrow
afternoon against Houston should
be one of the better games of the
season. Houston has had a year to
think about that stinging defeat
A&M handed them on their home
court, and you can bet that the
Cougars are more than ready to re
turn the favor.
For the Aggies to compete effec
tively against the Cougars they must
stop Otis Birdsong. Birdsong is the
leading scorer in the conference and
is shooting over 60 per cent from
the field. The brilliant senior Has
scored over 20 points in every game
he has played in this season.
Birdsong’s best game of the sea
son occurred in California, where
he scored 42 points. The UCLA
Bruins used every possible defense
to try and stop him, but found it
futile.
Last year the Cougars did every
thing possible to try and stop Swan
son. Wally hit from all corners of the
court, and finished the evening with
21 points. Jones added 18 points of
his own along with six rebounds.
A&M finished the contest hitting a
blistering 61 per cent from the field.
It was by far the best effort of the
1976 season for Texas A&M.
Swanson and Jones will have to
have another outstanding effort if
the Aggies are to defeat the
Cougars. Houston has played well
all year, with only inexperience
keeping them from greatness.
Jories must make the outside
shots good, with Swanson having to
be effective inside in order to keep
the inexperienced Coogs off-
balanced.
The starting line-up for the Ag
gies will be Dave Goff, Steve Syles-
tine, Steve Jones, Wally Swanson
and Doug Pederson. The sixth man
will probably be Willie Foreman.
Foreman has been a pleasent sur
prise so far this season. His inside
play and good defense have proven
invaluable for the Aggies this year.
Foreman has also been the most
aggresive man for A&M this season.
He often crashes the boards, leaving
bruised victims in his wake. The
ironic thing about Foreman is that
his cousin is heavy weight fighter

champion George Foreman. If
Houston plans on any fighting, they
had better check with Willie first.
All in all the contest matches up
pretty well. Both teams have good
players, with Houston holding the
edge because of Birdsong. If the ref
erees let the teams play, then it
should be a good quick contest. One
has to give the edge to Houston, but
don’t count the Aggies out too
quickly. If Houston is cocky, then
the “young ones” may capture the
day.
