sports THE BATTALION Page 13 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1980 Road trip starts against Bears Another night of reckoning is on hand tonight as the undefeated Southwest Conference leading Aggies head for Waco to play the Baylor Bears. Texas A&M, a 92-79 winners over Houston Monday, opens the second half of SWC play with the game, its fifth road contest ofthe conference season. Shelby Metcalf s team won a 74-57 decision over the Bears two weeks but tonight’s game promises to be close. Rudy Woods, the Aggies’ leading rebounder, said it succinctly:' Msadot n Mid lis stil a bain Aggies look for win in Waco o sepi- “Hm r said, war he- the ali gn Ser- barges ept his o slop i diplo- lor the nbassa- iths, is hich is nbassa- er gov- is no* gapore aid ths , a re m tern- ;st uni- or Xi! olitical visible and. -easons he con- assadoi ,r He! ,i-shel otables ig and stai|d olesalf ship- ii graph)' South Mid- “Everyone’s just waiting for us now. ” Starters for the Aggies will be juniors Vernon Smith and Rynn Wright, sophomore Woods and seniors David Britton and Dave Golf. Game time is 7:30 p.m. and it will be broadcast over KTAM radio with DeWayne Staats and Davis Walker announcing. The Texas A&M women’s basketball team will play at 5:30 p.m. — TONY GALLUCCI United Press International The Texas A&M Aggies will start he second half of the Southwest inference basketball race trying to :ubdue the Baylor Bears in Waco llowd Wednesday night and the Arkansas Razorbacks will start out by sitting at tome. Coming off its overtime thriller Iter hii igainst Texas Tech Monday night, ihe second-place Razorbacks will take Wednesday evening oft. Coach Eddie Sutton probably feels his team deserves it. “If before the season, Sutton said, “you had told me we would be M after making trips to College Sta tion Lubbock and Austin I would certainly have taken it.’ Arkansas’ 7-1 record however is kxI only for second place behind the unbeaten Aggies. A&M got another vote for “team of the year’’ Monday night from Hous ton Coach Guy Lewis whose team was overwhelmed by the Aggies in the second half of a 92-79 decision. “I think there is no doubt about it,” Lewis said. “A&M is the best team in the league.’ Texas A&M’s sweep through the first half of the season was ignited by a 74-57 romp over Baylor in the Aggies’ second SWC game. After a narrow and unspectacular win over underdog TCU in the open er, the Aggies put it together against the Bears and have been rolling ever since. A&M has road trips left to Lub bock and Fayetteville however and both of those excursions are filled with potential danger. Even the Aggies’ 6-11 center, Rudy Woods, knows it is unlikely his team can make it through the 16- game schedule unbeaten. “One of these days we might run into trouble,” Woods said after the win over Houston. “But by then it will be too late. It won’t make any difference.” He coidd be right, but the Arkan sas win over Texas Tech in Lubbock was a big hurdle for the Razorbacks since they now have completed the three toughest road trips in the con ference this year. And they still have the Aggies coming to Fayetteville on Feb. 12. Tech Coach Gerald Myers, follow ing Arkansas’ 71-69 victory in Lub bock Monday night, made mention of why he felt the Razorbacks were still near the top of the heap in the SWC race. “We re not a great defensive team,” Myers said. “But we aren’t that bad either. And Arkansas shot the ball super on us, 65 per cent for the game and 75 per cent in the second half. They may have lost the triplets (referring to Ron Brewer, Marvin Delph and Sidney Moncrief) but they still have their coach. And he does a great job. ” Wednesday night’s schedule other than Texas A&M visiting Baylor, finds SMU (3-5) visiting Texas (4-4), Texas Tech (5-3) going to Houston (3-5), and Rice (1-7) going to TCU (2-6). Rice’s only conference victory this year came over the Horned Frogs in Houston. Texas Tech rallied in the second half to beat Houston in their first meeting this year and Texas de feated SMU in Dallas the first time around.

The deal was reached four days before the Women’s Professional Basketball League team was to play its next home game. An official of the team refused to say whether the Angels had to pay Rice in advance of a Friday game against the San Francisco Pioneers. In the past two weeks, the Angels’ other two home arenas, Hotheinz Pavilion and the Summit, refused to allow the team to play any more games until debts were paid. The defending WPBL champion Angels are being operated by found er Hugh Sweeney following the col lapse of an announced $1 million sale to a group of investors late last year. BEFORE THE BALL...
