Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies lost to TCU and
halted, then began, the longest los
ing streak in the Southwest confer
ence.
“I’m mystified,” coach Shelby
Metcalf said. “Losing in the manner
that we are losing is a totally new
experience for me. Of course if I
knew the answer I could write a book
and it would become a best seller.’
Metcalf had better find an answer
by tomorrow afternoon. The Rice
Owls have a 2-5 conference record
and were able to defeat two teams
(Baylor and TCU) that A&M could
not defeat.
“Mike (Schuler) has done a great
job of coaching,” Metcalf said. “They
haven’t been beaten badly this year.
We re going to have to get ready and
quick because Rice has a smart ball
club.”
The Rice head coach utilizes all of
his players. Schuler will be con
stantly making lineup changes. It is
his belief that a fresh player, no mat
ter how good or bad he is, is better
than a tired player.
“Mike has been accused of doing a
lot of crazy things,” Metcalf said.

United Press International
NEW YORK — The people aren’t wearing coats
there now and it’s more like springtime than winter,
but Lewis Schaffel doesn’t care what Pete Maravich
says, he’s not going to Iraq.
First of all, it would take him anywhere from two
to three months to get a tourist visa if he planned to
make the trip by himself, and second of all, the
young general manager of the New Orleans Jazz is
perfectly happy right where he is — in New Or
leans.
So is Maravich. He isn’t going anywhere either,
which suits him just fine, and if he’s looking for any
confirmation, he has that, too, from one of the the
Jazz’ principal owners, Sam Battistone, Jr., who
says, “Pete is staying with us. We have absolutely
no plans to trade him to anyone. ”
Maravich, the NBA s leading scorer last season,
also is on top again now with an average of 28 points
per game. He’s right up there in the salary depart
ment also, earning something like $600,000 a year.
The whole business between him and Schaffel
started last week when a New Orleans’ newspaper
ran a story saying the Jazz were investigating the
possibility of trading their hamhoyant 29-year-old
superstar.
Maravich was born in Aliquippa, Pa., but consid
ers New Orleans his city. He has called it “the
greatest city in the world’ and feels as passionately
about it as Al Hirt and Pete Fountain do. Maravich
was the first player the Jazz ever acquired when
they were awarded a franchise in 1974 and he’s so in
love with New Orleans that he insisted on a no
trade clause being put into his contract when he
signed it.
Hearing the report he might be peddled
elsewhere, he burned, saying he knew for a fact the
Jazz were trying to trade him and if that was the
case, Schaffel could forget it because he had no in
tention of going anywhere.
Then Maravich got in a couple of zingers.
Schaffel, he said, didn’t “know the difference be
tween a basketball and a turkey bladder” and he
suggested the Jazz’ first-year GM take “a vacation in
Iraq.”
Back in the old days, no player, not even one of
Maravich’s stature, could get away with that kind of
talk about a general manager. But these aren’t the
old days and besides Maravich has that contract on
his side. Ostensibly, he also has the present support
of the team’s owners, for publication, anyway, al
though it is highly unlikely a general manager would
ever initiate trade talks, especially for someone like
Maravich, without the knowledge and blessing of
those who own the club.
The Jazz have won their last six straight. They’re
in fourth place in the Central Division behind San
Antonio, Washington and Cleveland with a 22-24
record and although that doesn’t seem like too much
of an accomplishment, were the playoffs to begin
today, the Jazz would be the wild-card representa
tive.
The last game they played, in the Superdome at
New Orleans Tuesday night, they beat Boston
96-91, with Maravich scoring 30 points. Before ^he
game began, a couple of fans hung up a banner
which said: “Trade Schaffel. ”
Schaffel, 33, is a former players’ agent who repre
sented 30 athletes, including Tiny Archibald, Austin
Carr and Phil Chenier among others, before coming
to New Orleans. The Jazz’ owners hired him be
cause they wanted someone with experience in
dealing with player contracts.
Since taking over this season, he has done a good
job picking up players. The first one he got was
I ruck Robinson, who leads the league in rebounds
and made the NBA All-Star team for the first time
this season. Schaffel signed him as a free agent. He
also added Joe C. Meriweather from Atlanta and
Slick Watts from Seattle.
At his first press conference after being named
general manager, Schaffel made what amounted to
the customary incoming speech. He said “We will
leave no stones unturned whe* it comes to improv
ing this team.”
That s okay with Maravich. Up to a point. If
Schaffel wants to turn around some of the other
stones, fine, but if he has any idea of budging The
Big Boulder, he can go try it someplace else, like
maybe Iraq.
