MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1978
Ags defeat Owls, stop losing streak
By PAUL ARNETT
Battalion Sports Editor
The spotlight is upon them any
time Karl Godine and Jarvis
Williams set foot on a basketball
court. Everyone expects the men
from Houston to play like the Har
lem Globetrotters, UCLA and the
Boston Celtics all rolled into one.
Saturday afternoon against the
Rice Owls, Godine and Williams
quietly led the Texas A&M basket
ball team to a 74-70 victory. The duo
weren’t flashy, just good.
“I’m proud of the way Karl and
Jarvis handled themselves in those
final six minutes,” coach Shelby
Metcalf said. “I’m particularly
proud of Jarvis. This is by far his
best game of the year.
“He played with more intensity
than he has all season. He set him
self up for some more playing time.’
Williams played just 18 minutes
yet scored 17 points. He made six
important free throws in the latter
stages of the game, but said the
pressure situation didn’t bother
him.
“Not really,” Williams replied to
the pressure situation question. “I
just wanted to play and not make
any mistakes. If you do your job,
then you don’t think about pres
sure. ”
Godine, Williams’ counterpart,
played for the first time since the

Texas Tech game. The A&M crowd
roared its approval when Godine
entered the contest. The Kashmere
product scored nine points and
played hard on defense.
“Karl showed the desire to play so
we let him,” Metcalf said. “He
made some good plays, but he still
needs to pick up his intensity. The
lay-off has hurt Karl on defense. ”
Godine agreed that the lay-off has
hurt him.
“Not playing in two games hurt
me at first, Godine said. “I was
tight, but relaxed as the game went
by.”
The entire A&M team appeared
to be tight at the beginning of the
game. The Ags scored only 27 points
in the first half. The inability to
score in the first 20 minutes has
plagued the Aggies all year.
“This game scares me,” Metcalf
said. “We had to play as hard as we
could to beat Rice by four. If they’re
a bad ball club, then we re in more
trouble than I thought.”
But a win is a win, and it could be
the spark A&M needs entering into
the second round of conference
play.
“This game definitely helped us,
Willie Foreman, who led A&M in
scoring with 20 points, said. “We
needed to win to get things rolling
and now I think we ll be ready for
the second round.”
A&M opens the second round
against Baylor tonight at 7:30. The
Ags were beaten badly by the Bears
in Waco, but feel they’re ready for
them this time.
“They are a good team, but I
think we know what to expect from
them this time around,” guard Dave
Goff said. “Vinnie Johnson is good,
but you can’t just concentrate on
him. They have other guys who can
hurt you as well.”
Johnson is the leading scorer in
the conference, averaging 23 points
a game. The Ags did a fair job on
him in the first game, but let the
rest of the team kill them.
“Baylor is a smart club,” Metcalf
said. “We tried to cover Johnson last
time around and they hurt us with
the rest of the team. This time we ll
try to be the smart ones.”
A&M needs to play smart if they
entertain thoughts of beating
Baylor. Now that the air is cleared
and the Godine-Williams duo are
moving in the right direction,
maybe A&M can show what kind of
basketball team they really have.

Three hundred fans, five yell
leaders and Reville, watched the
Aggie Ladies win their 21st game of
the season in G. Rollie White Col
iseum Friday night. The final score
was 91-78.
Aggie coach Wanda Bender said
both her team and herself ap
preciated the support of the crowd
and yell leaders.
“I really feel it helps the team
with their spirit,” she said.
Although the women controlled
the game from the start, they had a
scare late in the second half when
McLennan Community College
pulled to within three.
Bender said there was indeed a
momentum change late in the
game.
“The girls felt they had the game
won and relaxed their playing,” she
said. ‘ MCC is too good for play like
that. They average 80 points a
game. Luckily, our players tight
ened up fast.
Jackie Swain, from McLennan,
was the high scorer of the game with
25 points, but the Aggie women
came up with some very impressive
statistics of their own.
Five girls scored in double fig-
