Four seniors, David Goff, Steve
Hstine, David Britton and John
chlieher played their last game in

the film lowed its appreciation for the four
j. Everyiftfyeral times, climaxing with a
Wing ovation when seldom-used
mlicher entered the game for the
•st time with 1:36 left to play,
jtexas A&M coach Shelby Metcalf,
■ got to use all twelve of his play-
thletewho»j n ^e win, was impressed with
/ie at i:oOi| Horned Frogs.
■CU came down here and made

i the MSCtayed a very disciplined offensed
■also good, tough defense. (TCU

Killingsworth used only six of his
ay< i s in the game. TCU is a team
Aggie Plavfjthout a senior, and played most of
rday andagA ame with three freshmen on the
;ning. Thepimrt Killingsworth said his team
diner whick. 0V ed to be a worthy opponent for
fbeingmeKe league leaders,
r at the doonj“VVe had a shot at them a couple of
Bs in the second half, but Brit
ton’s three point play that put them
back up by 10 really hurt,” he said.
“Still, our guys didn’t hang it up after
that. I was hoping that our young
kids would come in and play well.
“Texas A&M is a fine ball club.
Everybody pecked A&M to win it
and then people said A&M would
screw it up somehow. But the Aggies
came on and got better as the year
went. Shelby did a fine job.”
David Britton was the offensive
star for the Ags, scoring 18 points, 10
of which came in the first half. He
also provided some good entertain
ment for the crowd.
“I wish I could have done every
thing tonight,” the Harlem native
said. “I wanted to get a dunk, but it
just didn’t happen.”
Goff said the team was really up
after hearing about SMU’s upset win
over Arkansas Monday night, a win
that moved the Ags into sole posses
sion of first place.
“I had given up the thought of win
ning it all,” he said. “I was sure we’d
end up in a tie. When someone cal
led me last night and told me, I
thought they were kidding. ”
Britton’s 18 points led all scorers.
Rudy Woods had 13. TCU was led by
junior Deckery Johnson, who had
13. Once again, the front line of
Woods, Rynn Wright, who had four
blocked shots, and Vernon Smith
snagged 24 rebounds, four more
than the Frogs. The Ags pulled down
a total of 36 rebounds.

B The Texas A&M baseball team opened its 1980 season Monday by
MSC to pi ideating the St. Mary’s Rattlers 8-1 and 8-2 in a doubleheader at Olsen
Field.
The Aggies were almost as perfect as the sunny, pleasant weather,
jenior center fielder Simon Glenn got on base six of the eight times he
me to the plate, and Coach Tom Chandler’s inexperienced pitching
Staff pitched like veterans.
In the first game sophomore starter Bobby Taylor pitched his way
t of a jam in the second inning, giving up two runs after loading the
[aseswithjustoneout. He gave up two hits in five innings pitched, and
as relieved by freshman Robert Slavens in the final two innings.
Offensively, Chandler expected histeam tb have spefed thisyfek'r, blit*
;s of the nia no power — but the Aggies demonstrated ample quantities of both. In
ie; and tonic lie third inning of the opener, senior right fielder Mike Hurdle broke
ifairly forarii open the game with a three-run homer over the left field wall, bringing
at midnight in junior first baseman Rodney Hodde and junior shortstop Bryan
iLittle. In the fifth. Hurdle also singled in Hodde, who had doubled.
—r- In the second game freshman pitcher Rick Luecken threw five no-hit
Hinings in his first college start. Lueken completely shut out St.
, Blary’s, which has been an NAIA power team for the last two decades.
® /j Lueken struck out five batters while walking three in the innings he
^ 1 Vlf^itched. Freshman David Flores replaced Lueken in the sixth and
J.X J.1V gave up the only Rattler run in that game.
Hodde led off the second inning of the Final game with a homer over
the scoreboard. That was the beginning of a six-run, 10-batter inning
for the Aggies.
L Chandler had planned to pull out his young pitchers after they threw
60 pitches — he said he didn’t want them overworked early in the
ason when they’re not in top playing condition.
5 Glenn, Flores (the designated hitter in the first game), Hodde, and
eshman catcher Joe Szekely each batted in a run in the first game.

Tennis team falls to Trinity
By RICHARD OLIVER
Staff Writer
Despite beautiful weather and a
vocal Aggie crowd to back them up,
the Texas A&M tennis team was
trounced 8-1 Tuesday in a dual
match against nationally-ranked
Trinity University.
Trinity, ranked second in the na
tion, was paced by senior All-
American Tony Giammalva. The
first-seeded Trinity player combined
flawless passing shots and a steady
serve to overcome top-seeded Aggie
Alberto Jimenez, 6-1, 6-1.
Brian Joelson, a big factor in the
• recent Aggie successes including a
second place finish in the Pan Amer
ican tennis tournament Saturday,
provided the lone Aggie victory, 7-6,
6-2, over Eddie Reese. Joelson is a
highly recruited freshman from Ore
gon. Both players were seeded fifth
in this match.
The highlight of the day’s match
es, attended by approximately 200
people, was provided by Trinity’s
Erick Iskersky and Texas A&M’s
Reid Freeman.
In their second-seed matchup,
Iskersky defeated Freeman, 6-3, 7-
