The Texas Aggies defeated Sam
Houston State 71-47 Monday in a
game that started out at a snails’ pace
and ended the same way.
The final minutes were pure frus
tration for both teams as well as a G.
Rollie White Coliseum crowd that
seemed anxious to go home and
catch the end of the Houston-
Pittsburgh football game.
Oblivious to the time remaining
on the clock, the officials called nine
fouls in the last two minutes of the
game. Actually, it was only the cap
per to a game in which 60 fouls in all
were called against the two teams.
While there was an excess of fouls,
there was an equal lack of fans. Only
3,600 bothered to show up, easily
making it the worst Aggie crowd of
the young season. Considering that
over half of those attending were
non-students, it was an especially
dismal turnout for the student body
that barely qualified as token repre
sentation.
It looked as though neither team
wanted to score at the beginning of
the game. Both the Aggies and Bear
kats played excellent defense and
neither team was able to score for the
first 4:30.
The ice was finally broken when
A&M forward Vernon Smith hit a
short jumper from the right baseline.
The Aggies took a 17-2 lead over Sam
Houston in the second quarter.
The hapless Bearkats meanwhile,
must have wondered what it took to
score points, as they ran afoul of both
the officials and the Aggies.
For a while, it was questionable
whether the Bearkats would be able
to score even 10 points before half
time. In fact, Sam Houston scored
only its second bucket of the game
with 3:19 left in the first half.
Only a furious Bearkat comeback
narrowed the score to 27-15 by half
time. Following the game, Aggie for
ward Rynn Wright had an explana
tion for Sam Houston’s poor
shooting.
“We played good defense in the
first half and it seemed like they were
looking for one good shot,’ Wright
said. “They’d just keep tossing the
ball around, looking for a chance to
get it inside for the perfect shot. Of
course that hurt them because it
chewed up extra time on the clock. ”
Wright did a little damage of his
own to the Bearkats as he scored 17
points and pulled down eight re
bounds to lead Texas A&M in both
categories. Aggie Head Coach Shel
by Metcalf later credited Wright
with holding his team’s offense
together.
“Rynn played another solid game
tonight,” Metcalf said. “He was ab
out the only one who was able to hit
all night. We missed some easy shots
and didn’t really move the ball all
that well. Other than Rynn, we
didn’t have anybody consistent
offensively. ”
Another Aggie who played a
rather solid game was freshman
Claude Riley. Riley entered the
game in the second quarter after
Rudy Woods got into early foul trou
ble. He proceeded to chalk up 11
points and grab seven rebounds dur
ing 20 minutes of playing time.
Somewhat lost in the shuffle was
junior forward Vernon Smith, who
played his usually steady game, scor
ing 14 points and pulling down seven
rebounds. The 14 points was below
his 27 points-per-game average and
just one point short of his reaching
the 1,000-point plateau in his career
at A&M.
“I definitely thought they (Sam
Houston) did a good job defensive
ly,” said Metcalf. “That’s the best
pressure we’ve faced this year and I
think this Sam Houston team’s going
to be a good one.”
Looking ahead to Wednesday’s
game, Metcalf pointed out that East
Texas State is currently 4-0 on the
year. Their latest win came against
Langston. The ETSU victory broke a
35-game winning streak at home for
Langston. The Ags and ETSU will
tip off at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in G.
Rollie White.

HOUSTON — Dan Pastorini’s
shoulder is strong once again and as a
result, the Pittsburgh Steelers are
still looking to secure the champion
ship of the AFC Central Division.
One week remains in the regular
season and unlike in past seasons,
the Super Bowl champion Steelers
are still fighting for their lives,
thanks in part to the Houston Oilers
20-17 win over them Monday night.
Both teams have 11-4 records.
“I said it last week, just as I have all
season. Dan is my kind of quarter
back,” Oilers coach Bum Phillips
said after the Monday win, his first
over the Steelers in the Astrodome.
Phillips was under pressure ear
lier this season to bench Pastorini as
the 10-year veteran passed poorly
due to a rehabilitating right shoulder
infection. He completed only four
passes in a 38-7 loss to the Steelers in
the second game of this season.
