The officials called a total of 53
Uconie ^ [nils, the clock didn’t work and
oach Gene Iba of Houston Baptist
ubstituted everytime he had the
hance. In all that mass confusion
Aggie basketball team defeated
lOUrS 16 Huskies 77-50.
“It was like playing in a pick-up
ame,” Aggie forward Wally Swan-
on said. “It was really hard to get
ourself motivated.”
Guard Dave Goff added, “I felt
Jke I was playing back in all-city
7 >ague. It is really hard to get going
dthout a clock.”
The Aggies, due to the number of
nils being called and the number of
oor shots that they were taking,
mn M jund themselves holding a slim
'PPwtiG 2.27 halftime lead.
“Our shot selection was poor in
he first half,” coach Shelby Metcalf
said. ‘‘It was our defense that kept
us in the ball game. The first 10
minutes of the second half we
played really well.”
In that span of time, the Aggies
took a 14-point lead over the Hus
kies. Swanson and freshman Rynn
Wright were the primary reasons
A&M was able to build the big lead.
‘‘I was glad that we finally got to
see Wright,” Metcalf said. “He
showed us that he could play some
good basketball. He reported to
camp overweight and he is just now
losing it. He played a good ball
game.”
Wright had his own analysis of his
performance.
“I played a pretty good game,”
Wright said. “I think our team fi
nally got it together there in the
second half. I will be able to con
tribute more when I get into better
shape.”
Metcalf had everybody contribut
ing last Saturday night. Only in
jured guard Karl Godine didn’t get
to play.
“We got a good look at everybody
tonight,” Metcalf said. “Their coach
slowed things down a little by sub
stituting every chance he got. He
did it so the tempo of the game
would be in their favor. In the sec
ond half we got things back in our
favor by using our blitz. They were a
well disciplined team in the first
half.”
A&M, led by Jarvis Williams’ 13
points, had five men finish in double
figures. Vernon Smith led all re
bounders with seven.
“Everybody tried to get 30 points
while they were out there,” Goff
said. “That is why we had five guys
wind up in double figures.”
A&M’s next game is this Tuesday
night at 7:30 against Sam Houston
State. It will be the last home game
before the Christmas holidays.

Battalion Staff
the first event of the Aggie
irts triple header Saturday, the
ggie Ladies basketball team was
asily defeated at the hands of a
iperior team from Stephen F. Aus-
n University. When the final buz-
er had sounded, the score was
149 in favor of the Ladyjacks from
FA.
“We did what we wanted to do
;ainst this team,” Aggie coach
fanda Bender said of the
adyjacks, who are rated ninth in
le nation. “Our defense shut down
ieir offensive plan and offensively
chad our share of shots. We just
iled to make them.
_ 1 . The Aggie Ladies hit only 32 per-
:n * ^eir shots from the field
"bile the Ladyjacks hit 47 percent,
pother big difference in the game
as the free throw percentages.
FA hit 67 percent from the foul
pe while the Aggies made only 41
prcent of their free throws.
“We shot well from the free throw
ne,” SFA coach Sue Gunter said.
mas
le!
look!
“I think if their free throws would
have been a little better, it would
have been a closer ball game.”
“No, I didn’t think it would be a
runaway. I was surprized at our of
fense. We re so young and so erra
tic. We only have three seniors and
we played five freshmen today.”
Bender said that the Aggie Ladies
were not out of the game from the
start.
“We had no offensive pattern,”
the Aggie coach said. “The girls
never executed the plays properly.
If we could have adjusted our of
fense, we could have won.”
But at halftime, down by a score
of 42-16, Bender said winning had
become secondary.
“I told the the girls to forget about
trying to win, Bender said. “I told
them to go out there and be pleased
with their performance in the sec
ond half.
“No, I wasn’t pleased with their
performance and I don’t think they
were either.”
The Aggie Ladies get the oppor
tunity to improve their performance
against Sam Houston State Tuesday
night in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Coach Gunter said that neither
team had a perfect game and that
there was a reason for it.
“It’s still early in the season,”
Gunter said. “Both teams were
sloppy but both will get better.
A&M has improved a lot since last
year.”
Pat Werner was the high scorer
for the Aggie Ladies with 17 points.
High scorer for SFA, D.K. Thomas,
also had 17 points.
