Kazorbacks pay visit to Aggieland
By PAUL ARNETT
Battalion Sports Editor
They’re not flashy, just good.
Against a poor team they’ll play
like sweathogs, against a good team
they’ll play like the Arkansas Razor-
backs; the No. 3 team in the basket
ball nation. Whatever it takes to win
is what the Hogs are able to do.
“Arkansas is the best team in the
conference,’’ coach Shelby Metcalf
said. “There is no better threesome
in the country than Ron Brewer,
Sidney Moncrief and Marvin
Delph. It’s hard to stop a team that
can beat you three different ways.
And don’t forget Jim Counce and
Steve Schall. They played well
against us earlier in the season.”
A&M lost the first encounter with
the Hogs 84-68. That contest wit
nessed Brewer at his best. The
guard from Ft. Smith did whatever
he pleased against A&M’s Dave
Goff.
“I had a short map covering me
that game,” Brewer said. “I just
took him down low and connected
on the short jump shots. The team
depended on me that game because
Sidney and Marvin were in foul
trouble.”
That wasn’t the only trouble in
the game. With 10 minutes gone in
the first half, A&M and Arkansas
decided to take up boxing. The
brawl which ensued cost A&M the
game.
A&M said Arkansas started it. Ar
kansas said A&M started it. The refs
agreed with the latter.
“We were right in the game at
that point,” Metcalf said. ' After it
was decided that we started the
fight our guys got down and never
recovered.”
But Arkansas claims the zone de
fense they employed upon comple
tion of the fight was the cause of
A&M’s demise.
“We played man before the fight
and zone afterwards,” Arkansas
coach Eddie Sutton said. “They
couldn’t work the ball down inside
and they couldn’t hit from the out
side. And that’s what beat them.”
However, all of this occurred in
mid-January and many happenings
have crossed over the basketball
bridge. Arkansas has had a long sea
son. Road games and the constant
pressure of being the best have
taken their toll on the highly-ranked
Hogs.
“We re a tired ball club,” Sutton
said after the game with Baylor.
“Our guys are sluggish from all the
travel. If we can get some rest, then
I think we’ll be OK the remainder of
the season.”
The trip will not be the only prob
lem facing the Razorbacks tonight.
In this decade Arkansas has won
only once in G. Rollie White Col
iseum. That occurred last year when
the Razorbacks defeated the Ags
61-60. In that game A&M employed
a press that rattled Sutton’s crew.
It’s a tactic Metcalf hasn’t forgotten.
“We’ll press if we have to, ’ Met
calf said. “The reason it worked so
well last year was because it sur
prised them. I don’t think they’ll be
surprised this time.”
The press won’t surprise them,
but A&M’s improvement may. And
if the Razorbacks take the Ags
lightly, they may find sweathog bas
ketball to be a losing occupation.

The Texas A&M women’s rugby
team finished second in the Mardi
Gras tournament this past weekend.
The Aggies’ record for the year is
now 21-1.
In the opening game of the tour
nament against Michigan, A&M
center Cindy Gillespie scored the
first try. The Aggies held their 4-0
lead throughout the first half. The
second half found the Aggies scoring
two more times. Gillespie and
Christine Haijun each scored a try
as A&M defeated the Wolverines
12-0.
The University of Chicago was
the next opponent for the Ags. No
one scored in the first half, but there
was more than enough action in the
second. A&M wing Cathy Charles
went in for an apparent score early
in the period, but the referee sig
naled a penalty.
On the next play Haijun carried
the ball in for a score giving the Ags
a 4-0 lead. Susan Stabler scored for
the Ags on the ensuing kick and
A&M held on to defeat Chicago 8-4.
The next day A&M faced Indiana.
The forwards, led by Patty Rand,
played an outstanding game. The
Aggies got the break they needed
when Haijun picked up a loose ball
and passed it to Lisa Stolize. She
carried it in for the first try. A&M
defeated Indiana 16-0.
In the championship game the
Aggies played the University of
Ohio. The first half was scoreless;
each team missing opportunities to
score. The second half was just a re
peat of the first, but Ohio scored on
the last play of the game. Haijun cut
the Ohio player in half, but she was
able to inch her way across the line
for a controversial try.
The Ags fared well in the east and
will now try to make a trip out west
to play teams from California. On
the year A&M has outscored its op
ponents 300-15.
