Astros could capture West title
with ‘unparalleled’ pitching staff
From Staff and UPI reports
The Texas A&M University basket
ball team fought to get to the top of
the NCAA tournament — but the
Aggies stumbled when they got to
the Summit.
The Aggies lost to the eventual
Midwest region champion Louisville
Cardinals in overtime 66-55 in the
regional semifinals in Houston
Friday.
Texas A&M coach Shelby Metcalf
said the opening minutes of the con
test were the most important ones.
Louisville jumped out to a quick 12-2
lead.
“The game started at 7:07,” he
said, “and we started about 7:10. We
were a little tight to start the game.
“But this team has the finest re
cord of any team that ever played at
Texas A&M, and there is no way I’m
going to say anything bad about this
game or this team.”
The Aggies compiled a 26-8 record
for the year — best in Texas A&M
history. The Ags lose starting guards
David Britton and David Goff, but
the three forwards — Vernon Smith,
Rynn Wright and Rudy Woods — all
will return.
After the slow start, the Aggies
settled down and were only behind
by two points — 35-33 — at the half.
At one point in the second half, the
Aggies by four, 47-43, at one time.
But all attempts to build a six-point
lead failed.
“We got down by four late in the
game,” said Louisville coach Denny
Crum, “but I thought we held our
poise good. We are a young team,
but we didn’t panic. I was proud of
them.”
The Aggies — now 0-4 in the Sum-

idjyou’re a little worried about
ayhe getting hurt,” said Cham-
who fought in the past with
the season. They ended up IVk
games behind the division champion
Cincinnati Reds and feel the off
season acquisition of fastball pitcher
Nolan Ryan will make up the differ
ence.
Ryan joins a starting rotation
already including J.R. Richard, Joe
Nieko and Ken Forsch. The Astros
have two other good arms in Jon
Andujar and Vern Ruble plus oneof
the league’s top relief men in left
hander Joe Sambito.
“Potentially we’ve got a real gobd
staff,” understates Virdon. “We’ve
got to come up lith a dependable
right-handed reliever who can shut
down the opposition in the late in
nings. We ll be looking to find tht
among some of our young pitchers in
spring training.”
Scoring runs will be the Astros’
biggest problem. The club averaged
only a little over three runs a game
last year and hit just 49 home runs.
STRENGTHS—Awesome pitch
ing staff; good team speed (190 stolen
b as es)
WEAKNESSES — Not much
hitting and virtually no power; little
catching reserve; mediocre defense;
no right-handed late inning re
liever.
NEW FACE — Ryan joins start
ing rotation; Joe Morgan, signed as
free agent, could start at second
base.
OUTLOOK — They say pitching
is 80 percent of baseball. If the
Astros are to win the division title, it
will have to be closer to 100 per
cent.

mit — stormed so hard at the begin
ning of the second half, that Crum
said he hoped the fast pace of the
game would work to the Cardinals’
advantage from a stamina stand
point.
“The reason we tried to push the
tempo from the start,” he said, “is
they don’t play at that pace. And we
thought they would be a little bit
more fatigued at the end of the game.
One person who never looked fati
gued was senior Darrell Griffith,
who is on every major All-America
team. The 6-4 guard scored 24
points, and led the otherwise young
and inexperienced Cardinals. Even
though Griffith was the leading scor
er he missed five out of his last 10
shots, including the potential win
ning shot at the end of regulation.
“Darrell got the shot we wanted at
the end of regulation, but it just
didn’t go,” Crum said.
Another key to the game —
perhaps as important as Griffith him
self— was the Cardinals’ play on the
boards. Louisville outrebounded the
taller Aggies 39-35, which impressed
Texas A&M’s Vernon Smith — who
himself had an impressive game.
“I thought they were the best re
bounding team,” Smith said. “But
they had four guys going to the board
and we had only three to block them
out.”
Senior guard David Britton led
the Aggies with 16 points. Forwards
Vernon Smith and Rynn Wright
added 12 and 11.
Texas A&M climbed to the Mid
west semifinals by winning two sub
regional playoff games the week be
fore in Denton.

The Aggies slipped by the Mis
souri Valley Conference champion
Bradley Braves in the subregional
round of the tournament in Denton
last Friday on two pressure free
throws by Goff. With the score tied
at 53, the 5-10 guard stole a Bradley
pass with nine seconds left in the
game, and was fouled going for a
layup off the steal. Goff hit both free
throws with one second on the clock.
Sunday, the Aggies faced North
Carolina, coached by Dean Smith —
the man who invented the four-
corner offense the Aggies use effec
tively to eat up the clock. The Aggies
built up a big lead in the second half
of that game, but faced a cold —
frigid is more like it — spell and
seemed lucky just to get out of reg
ulation with a 53-53 tie.
Lovers of the stall game enjoyed
the first overtime — the two teams
four-cornered themselves out of
scoring a single point. The Aggies
came back in the second overtime
and took a two-point lead, blowing
North Carolina’s stall strategy, and
causing the Tar Heels to have to foul
to try to get the ball back.
Tyrone Ladson, junior substitute
guard from Brooklyn, N.Y., was the
Aggies’ key man in the second over
time. The Tar Heels tried to take
advantage of Ladson’s 57 percent
free throw rate by fouling him, but
Ladson caused Smith’s strategy to
backfire, hitting nine of the 11 shots
he attempted.
It took more than 30 minutes for
the two teams to finish the five-
minute second overtime, as four
North Carolina players fouled out
attempting to get the ball.
