David Britton, the man who stole
basketballs as well as the hearts of
Texas A&M University fans during
his career here, graduated to the big
leagues Tuesday, as he was drafted
by the Dallas Mavericks of the Na
tional Basketball Association in the
third round of the college draft.
Britton, a 6-4 guard who was in
strumental in the Aggie’s march to
the SWC championship this season
and subsequent victories against
Bradley and North Carolina in the
NCAA regionals, averaged over 1 IVh
points a game during the season, and
had a 45 percent field goal percen
tage.
Mavericks General Manager
Norm Sonju said Tuesday the fact
that Dallas fans were familiar with
Britton was a factor in his being pick
ed by the NBA s newest expansion
team, but his abilities outweighed
everything else.
Aggie coach Shelby Metcalf
agrees.
“I think he’s a good player,” he
said. “He makes the big plays and he
has a certain flair. Our fans certainly
liked him.”
Britton is known most for his
showmanship, but Metcalf said Brit
ton will probably settle down in the
professional ranks.
“I’m sure he’ll play it straight in
the pros,” he said. “It’s an older age
group. It’ll be a good experience for
him.”
Metcalf said he feels Britton has
the tools to make it.
“He’s good one-on-one,” he said.
“He’s a big guard. There aren’t too
many big guards around. He’s a great
rebounder, and a good scorer. I
think he’s got a good chance to make
it. In fact, I’ll be surprised if he
doesn’t.”
Metcalf said the fact that Britton
will be close to his college home
won’t be too important.
“During the year, David played
well anywhere. He played probably
one of his best games of the year in
Las Vegas. Being from New York and
everything, he’s played in front of all
kinds of crowds. I don’t think that’ll
be p factor. ”
Britton was the second SWC play
er to be picked in the NBA draft. The
Los Angeles Lakers picked Texas’
Ron Baxter after Britton was chosen
in the fourth round. SMU’s Brad
Branson was chosen by the Detroit
Pistons in the second round.
Texas A&M won the regular sea
son SWC title this season, and also
won the post-season tournament. In
the NCAA regionals, the team defe
ated Bradley and North Carolina be
fore losing to eventual national
champion Louisville in overtime.
Rangers ride Oliver to win,
stop Brewers 3-1 to end skid
United Press International
MILWAUKEE — Al Oliver ho-
mered and delivered a pair of singles
to drive in two runs in support of the
five-hit pitching of Ferguson Jenkins
Tuesday night, giving the Texas Ran
gers a 3-1 victory over the Mil
waukee Brewers.
Oliver belted his sixth homer in
the fourth to tie the score 1-1 after
Robin Yount gave Milwaukee a 1-0
lead with his ninth homer in the
third. The Rangers, who snapped a
five-game losing streak, scored the
go-ahead runs in the eighth off star
ter and loser Moose Haas, 6-5.
Mickey Rivers singled, Bump
Wills walked and Oliver’s RBI single
scored Rivers with the winning run.
Rusty Staub’s sacrifice fly added an
insurance run.
Except for the homer by Yount,
Jenkins, 4-4, allowed only one run
ner as far as second base as he reg
istered his fourth complete game.
The veteran right-hander struck out
five and walked one.

round of Tuesday’s basketball draft by the Dallas Mavericks of
