United Press International
HOUSTON — The NFL league
ice has authorized the Houston
• lers to print playoff tickets despite
eclub holding only the slimmest of
ances of earning a playoff berth.
A club spokesman said applica
nts for playoff tickets to games on
turday, Dec. 24 and Sunday, Jan.
were mailed to season tickets hol-
rs. Those applications had to be
lurned by Dec. 9.
A possible public sale of playoff
kets would not begin until the sea-
11 ticket holders’ requests are
ed, the spokesman said.
The league, by authorizing the
lers to print tickets, apparently
d no insight as to Houston’s
lyoffs chances. The other three
sin the top-heavy AFC Central
the Aggies shot a putrid 32 percent
from the field. Yet their defense
enabled them to hold a 37-34 lead at
the half.
A team effort in the second half
enabled the Aggies to pull away with
a victory. The same kind of team ef
fort is what Metcalf is looking for to
night.
“ We ll have to play better ball than
we did Monday to beat Southwest
Louisiana, said Metcalf. “We have
to put two solid halves together if we
hope to win.
Understandably, the Aggies weren’t
at mid-season form in their first
game of the new season. But coach
Metcalf liked what he saw against
Angelo State.
“We showed great effort and in
tensity in our play Monday,’ said
Metcalf. ‘But we do have some
things we need to improve on. Our
shot selection was poor and we need
to block out more on rebounds.
“But I think we re right on
schedule with our performance in
our first game.
“As far as the win goes, I think our
zone press in the second half won the
game for us. We forced some turn
overs and capitalized on them.”
The Aggies used 10 men in the
victory Monday night and the shuffl
ing of players will continue against
Southwest Louisiana tonight.
“We have seven or eight hopefuls
on our bench that we re looking at for
our lineup at this point,” said assis
tant coach Norman Reuther. “With
the aggressive way we play, we have
to keep fresh players on the floor.
“But we don’t play a certain
number of players in a game. We put
our people in the game according to
the situation on the floor. And right
now we re trying to take a look at
everybody we have. ”
The players on the Aggie team
play an exciting brand of basketball.
Mixing a full-court press and tight
defense with slam dunks and sharp
shooting, A&M hopes to avenge last
year’s loss to the Ragin Cajuns.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
