Ladies fall to Lamar, travel to Austin tonight ech waiting for tourney It was just one of those nights for the Aggie Ladies Saturday night. Shots would not fall, passes were intercepted, fouls were called and, in general, nothing went right for the Aggies as Lamar University de feated Texas A&M 75-63 in G.’ Rol- lie White Coliseum. I expected a good game from Lamar,” Aggie coach Wanda Be nder said after the game. “We got behind early and couldn’t get our minds off how many points we had given them.” The Aggies first basket did not come until 15:41 left in the opening period. By that time Lamar had al ready scored eight points. At one point in the game, Lamar held an 18-point lead. It is very difficult to make up that many points but I felt we could do it, Bender said. “When we got within six points (late in the game), I thought we would go ahead but we never did. We didn’t get up for this game until halftime and that’s a little bit late.” The Aggies hit only 32 percent of the field goals while Lamar hit 54 percent. “We weren’t taking the best shots,” Bender said. “I’m very dis appointed in our shooting. Our shooting cost us the ball game.” Kelly Sullivan had the best per formance against Lamar, hitting eight of nine field goals and leading the Aggies with 18 points. Susan Kimbro led the Aggies with seven rebounds. Tonight the Ladies travel to Aus tin to meet sixth-ranked Texas in the Superdrum. T ve got to spur them Texas A&M) to a better effort,” Bender said. “This was an important ball game. Since .1 can’t use a win to motivate them, I’ve got to try to use a loss. T expect the University of Texas to run the whole ball game and press the whole ball game. We have to run a disciplined offense and not be forced to play their game. There is no way we can run with the Uni versity of Texas. ” The game tips oft’ at 5:15 this evening. SENIOR PLACEMENT SEMINAR PRESENTED BY MR.

" n a we can hope for now is to " nish as high as possible and get in ' 00c! shape for the (post-season) Rirnament. ’ But the pessimism might be a lit- ——e[premature for Tech.

All 1 did was ;n|trate and kick it off to one of the g men, either (Geoff) Huston or Baxter. They had easy chip-ins wy for scores.” Huston hit three out of four shots in the first half while Baxter hit six of six. Baxter ended the game as Tech’s high scorer, hitting seven of eight shots for 14 points. The first half we moved the ball around, spread out their zone and Hit the creases,” Baxter said after the game. “But this team is a young ball club that goes up and down emotionally. “We came out for the second half a little flat and nothing clicked for us (Tech hit 46 percent of its shots in the second half). We didn’t move as well and it cost us.” The front line of the Aggies helped in shutting down the Tech attack in the second half. The Red Raiders were out rebounded 19-14 after the break. “A&M is big and stong inside and they know how to throw their weight around,” Kent Williams said. “There was a lot of pushing and shoving going on underneath the boards. “And I m not blaming the refs, but it sure doesn’t hurt to play at home. It sure doesn t hurt the Aggies to play at home. So far this season the Aggies are a perfect 7-0 on their home court. And it’s as if some players seem to save their best games for the home-town fans. Rudy Woods is one player that is playing well at home. Against the Red Raiders Woods blocked one shot, made two steals and flit 10 of L3 shots from the field to lead the Aggies with 21 points. Woods also made Tech’s Joe Baxter s evening miserable. “After hearing all the talk about Woods I’ve been looking forward for a long time to guarding him, ” Baxter said of Woods. “And as the game went on I felt pretty confident to take the ball inside on him. “Rudy likes to block shots so all I isecf l ting Fooi ! | Tax. 17:00 Pi iSDAY SPECIAL ried Steak | i Gravy italoes and one other able 3 ad and Bu or Tea Radio /haeK MANAGERS RED TAG SALE SPECIAL EVENIf <EY DlN^ j with y Sauce !

I had to lay off' of him on defense and he took it to the hoop on me.” Coach Myers was very impressed with Woods’ play. By far Woods is the best post man we ve seen this season, Myers admitted. “His play tonight was the difference in the ball game. With him on the inside A&M is as strong as I’ve ever seen them.” The game Saturday night was somewhat of a homecoming for Kent Williams. In last year’s Texas A&M-Tech game in G. Rollie White Coliseum Williams was hit by Willie Forman and suffered a broken jaw. “At least I came out of the game tonight better than I did last time,” Williams joked. “But my morale is hurt this year. I would of settled for a broken finger tonight if we could of won. "At least last year when I broke my jaw we won the game.” m TEXAS '0C3G.
