he toss of the coin would have
:n unnecessary had the Aggies
been able to defeat the Hogs. 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. If he’d fouled him any
worse, it would have been flagrant.

creased this year because of an
athetic attitude toward basket-
, according to Wally Groff, As-
tant Athletic Director of Business
Texas A&M University.
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.

television it probably would have
been a sell out,” Groff said.
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

said. “In the second half A&M
played great defense, some of the
best we’ve seen. 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.
