Aggies to take on rapidly improving Rice Owls
By TONY GALLUCCI
Sports Editor
With each conference game to
date providing a greater challenge
for the Aggies there is no doubt that
many of the players were looking for
a rest of sorts when they came up
against Rice.
It would be a foolish move to go to
sleep against the Owls though. The
once-and-forever lowly birds served
not-so-subtle notice on Tuesday that
they can play with the best, taking
highly regarded Texas Tech into
overtime in Lubbock.
The Owls led by ten at the half,
trailed by two witb two seconds re
maining, got two free throws to put
the game into overtime and even
led by four one minute deep in OT
before succumbing to the Red Raid-
Tech coach Gerald Myers insisted
that Rice played great ball in the
game. “It wouldn’t have been an
upset tonight if Rice had won, ” he
said. “They played great defense in
the first half. It wasn’t really a case
of us playing bad, they just played
good.”
Four Owls scored in double fig
ures in that game; Ricky Pierce get
ting 11 to lower his team-leading
average slightly to 14.7 points per
game; Kenny Austin also hit 11 rais
ing his average slightly to 10.6; Tony
DeCello poured in 12 to up his av
erage to 5.6 and Bobby Tudor led all
Owl scorers with 18 boosting his av
erage to 11.7. Those scorers along
with 6-8 freshman postman Robert
Shaw are the expected starters
against A&M Saturday.
A&M is expected to counter with
strength and height inside and pa
tient play outside. Starters will
probably be the same five that have
been opening of late. They are
sophomore Rudy Woods at the post;
Rynn Wright, a junior, at forward-
post; junior Vernon Smith at for
ward; and seniors David Britton and
David Goff at the guard spots.
Relief will come in the form of
Tyrone Ladson at the point,
freshman Claude Riley inside and
senior Steve Sylvestine at second
guard-forward.
Woods has put together three
consecutive outstanding games
against Baylor, Tech and SMU and
should continue his domineering
ways. Smith came on strong in the
second half of the SMU game on
Tuesday after a one-game slump and
still holds on to second place on the
Southwest Conference scoring
charts.
Wright has been awesome defen
sively for the Ags this year and
proved hfs worth at SMU with
highly regarded Brad Branson of the
Mustangs. Britton has really
into his game since playing id
Vegas and Goff has been the
consistent player for the AggiesJ
year.
Game time is 8:00 p.m.

Concert in the Middle School Auditorium
at Jersey and Holik in College Station. The
concert will feature Jim Gill and Dogwood.
Jim Gill. . .
has been sharing his brand of Christian humor through music
since 1973. He uses a variety of instruments including the
banjo, ukelele, 6 & 12 string guitars, dinner gong, harmonicas
and mouth horns. Combine these with his sense of humor and
his gift of “tongue in cheek" and you’re in for a time of joy and
insight you’ll seldom forget.
Jim was bom and raised in the hills of Houston, Texas, and
graduated from the University of Houston in ’73. After a year
and a summer as a youth director in Galveston, Texas, he ent
ered Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He received
his Master of Divinity there in May of ’77 and since October of
that year he has been serving as a campus minister to Lamar
University in Beaumont, Texas. His first album, The United
Saints of America, was released in the summer of ’77. “Not
Just Another Pretty Voice,” Jim’s effort on the various artist LP
Dawntreader One has given many a chuckle. Be sure and keep
an eye out for Jim’s new album Spectacles — it’s worth looking
