I’m disap- :ed because we worked real for this game, wirl be game with Houston is a crit- eca ® me for us. I don’t think you’ll be K to convince Baylor of this, but ' lirt j re a much better team than we ‘ lc ' a l| red tonight.” % stually the Bears played as | s ar ” ly as the Aggies. Both teams unple opportunities to blow the ‘wide open. Not until the final it minutes of the ball game ar ten gh was Baylor able to accom plish that goal. “Rebounding and good defensive play helped us win this game,” Baylor coach Jim Haller said. “When you can out rebound the most physical team in the league, then you should win.” Losing on the boards definitely hurt the Aggies’ cause, but scoring only four points in a six minute stretch cost the cause. “We just couldn’t score in those final minutes,” Metcalf said. “Our shot selection was alright, but they just wouldn’t fall.” The Aggies’ leading scorer, with 16 points, was Karl Godine. The Houston Kashmere sensation kept A&M in the ball game with his long outside shots. Vernon Smith and Joey Robinson finished second in scoring with 10 points a piece. “I think Joey played the best for us,” Metcalf said. “He did a great job on Vinnie Johnson.” Johnson, the junior college hero of Baylor, was held to just 17 points.

It doesn ’t mat ter which side of the bucket I am on. Both sides suit me,” The leading scorer for the Bears was not Johnson, but center Wen- dall Mays. The junior from Ft. Worth finished the night with 19 points. He also led the team in re bounds with 11. “Wendell played outstanding,’ Haller said. “When they concen trated on Vinnie, that left the mid dle open. Wendell just took advan tage of the openings A&M gave him.” The Ags will have to close off these openings if they are to com pete with the Houston Cougars Thursday night. Houston has a strong ball club, despite its showing against Arkansas. “Well have to start at square one,” Metcalf said. “We are way behind on our schedule and it wor ries me. There is no time to work on the basics now because you are play ing games. I just hope we can get some good practices in before we get into deep trouble.” The major problem is turnovers. A&M’s passes were sloppy against the Bears. If the turnover problem is prevelant against Houston, then it could be a very long night for Met calf s men.
