A&M pulled to within one on numerous occasions, but were unable to make that one important shot which would have vaulted them into the lead. With 30 seconds remaining in the game, the Hogs had the ball and a precarious one-point lead. They threw the ball in against a zone press and narrowly escaped having the pass stolen. Arkansas worked the clock down to 17 seconds when it appeared Wally Swanson fouled Steve Stroud. When no foul was called, A&M desperately went after the man who had the ball. With about five sec onds left on the clock, John Schlicher flagrantly fouled Marvin Delph. No foul was called and time ran out. “I don’t know how we can get screwed any worse,” coach Shelby Metcalf said after the game. “If we’d gotten screwed any worse, I’d be a prostitute. “Wally fouled number 40 with 17 seconds left.

This is the first season in the last ee years that a closed circuit evision has not been needed for dents unable to obtain tickets for portant basketball games, Groff . The closed circuit television used twice the last two years. «We haven’t sold out once this tK ir,” said Groff. “Texas Tech and flor are usually good turnouts we could have fit 3,000 more iple in to see the Baylor game. There were more students at the Southern Methodist University game over Christmas break, than at the games against Tech and Baylor. The attendance average for 1975 was 3,013. The number decreased by 382 in 1976, and this year the av erage came to 2,063, a decrease of 568. The scheduling of the basketball games are the same as previous years. “We’ve played the traditional Tuesday and Saturday games all along so that shouldn’t have any thing to do with the lack of at tendance this year” Groff said. The biggest turnout was against Houston. The game was televised, which are usually smaller crowds. “If the game had not been on ig in Mu of the i unempk n f okingfon longerk TAMU SUMMER LANGUAGE STUDIES IN EUROPE France Germany Spain Intensive Language Instruction 6 Credit Hours For Information See Modern Languages Department Phone: 845-2124 ANNOUNCEMENT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE :ted by Kevin'' 1 by I APPLICATIONS DUE NOW )EADLINE MARCH 15 FOR JUNIORS, SENIORS AND POST BACCALAUREATES Deadline for Sophomores May 20, but application review will be accelerated with earlier submission.

To increase revenues, the athletic department used the north end of G. Rollie White Colliseum for re served tickets this year. The de partment was also allowed to sell general admission tickets in advance for the first time. The students ad mission to basketball and baseball games are included in student fees. With an increase in enrollment, there is no apparent reason for the decrease in attendance. “The expectations were less this year because we had such a young team, but the games haven’t been less exciting,” Groff said. “Appar ently there is an apathetic attitude toward basketball by the students. They just don’t have as much inter est in basketball right now.” That was the plan and it would have worked had the referees made the call. “I told them that after 15 seconds to foul anybody, which Schlicher did with five seconds left in the game.” Steve Jones had his own thoughts about the final 30 seconds. “Anybody in the nickel seats could have seen that Wally fouled Stroud,” Jones said. “Boy, I wish we could have won this game because it really would have boosted our mo rale for the play-offs.” Jones had a bad game for the Ag gies scoring only eight points. The senior from Houston was shut out in the first half by the Arkansas de fense. “We played the best defense we’ve played all year in the first half,” Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton Intramurals MEN INDEPENDENT A Division: Dutchmen vs. Breakers, 0-10; Derelicts vs. Limps, 16-11; Lone Star vs. Sevilla, 11-1; Skata vs. Treehouse, 14-0.

We knew that after Houston, A&M would be the tough est team we’d have to face. “I think Shelby should get coach of the year. He has got these kids playing with great intensity.” The Razorbacks, winning at Col lege Station for the first time since 1959, finished the evening shooting 67 per cent from the field. A cold night at the foul line, kept the Ag gies in the game in the first half. The Hogs connected on only 47 per cent of their charity tosses. Arkansas’ leading scorer was Ron Brewer, who scored 22 points. His shooting was the turning point of the ball game. Sutton’s strategy was to post hipri down low against the shorter Dave Goff and let him shoot. Brewer hit 58 per cent of his shots. The Aggies’ leading scorer was Willie Foreman. Foreman scored 23 points before fouling out with over three minutes left in the game. A&M’s second leading scorer was Wally Swanson with 14 points.
