Head coach Shelby Metcalf, along with 100 pre-game football fans, watched the White team, made up of transfers and red-shirts, squeak out a 58-57 truimph over the Maroon team, made up of this year’s leading candidates. “We learned more about what we don’t have than what we do have,” Metcalf said after the 40-minute workout. “We have to develop some guard play,” he added. One guard who played well, but who won’t be eligible until next sea son, was Tyren Naulls who led the White team to victory with 20 points. Naulls, who transfered from UCLA and must sit out this year, and Maurice McDaniels, another trans fer who will become eligible next semester, both looked impressive. Roy Jones, who is back with the Aggies after sitting out last year, led the Maroon team with 14 points. Rynn Wright had 12 points and Rudy Woods and Tyrone Ladson each chipped in eight. One bright spot Metcalf noticed was the play of Woods. “We were pleased with Rudy,” Metcalf said. “He did what we wanted him to do, which is to face the basket and pass the ball more.” But the Aggies still must find a point guard. “We haven’t had this problem in a long time,” Metcalf said, “because Goff ran the club for the past four years.” One candidate for the job is fresh man Reggie Roberts, who didn’t play because of an ankle injury. “He has the ability,” Metcalf said, “but he is only a freshman. Ladson, a three-year letterman, has the experience, but is not the penetrating type of guard Metcalf would like to see run the offense. Metcalf stressed since it was only the fourth day of practice, that he is also in a learning process. “We have a long, long way to go,” Metcalf said about the upcoming season, “and we will need some pleasant surprises if we are to become a top flight ball club.” The Aggies, who were 26-8 last year and knocked out of the NCAA tournament by eventual national champion Louisville, open the sea son Nov. 22 at home against the Windsor Basketball Club.

OCT. 21 Softball team takes state title jirprisingly ne it on b coach' powerful I A&M’s C l46-7 rout t Women win championship for the first time By RICHARD OLIVER Sports Editor The women’s softball team, the most consistent and successful team representing the University over the past two years, came home Sunday with the Texas championship, some thing it has never accomplished be fore. And the team took it with the same tools that got it there — defense and excellent pitching. The tournament, played in Amar illo, attracted teams from all over the state, including Sam Houston State, Baylor’s, Texas Women’s University and the University of Texas- Arlington. The Aggies, however, found none of these any trouble, as they claimed the title while giving up nary a run. In the first game, Shan McDonald shut down Stephen F. Austin, 4-0, on a three-hitter. Behind her were the six hits of her teammates, and a two RBI effort by Carrie Austgen. Rhonda Reese and Mary Lou War go added one each. In the second game, the Ags went against the only team which defeated them this fall, UT-A, and beat them, 2-0 (the identical score UT-A beat them by earlier this fall). Lori Stoll picked up the win on a two-hitter, and struck out eight. Stoll also committed an error, the first by an A&M pitcher this season. In that game, Austgen knocked in both Aggie runs. That win sent A&M to the cham pionships against Sam Houston, a team that has historically been tough on them. This time, however, Stoll took the mound once again and overpowered the Bearkats, 2-0, striking out three. The Aggies scored in the second on a single by Wargo and a double by Stoll. In the sixth, Melody Pritchard was sharp, sliced a triple and scored on a single The third-year coach remem by Austgen, who knocked in five of the 1978 season, when Tei rst perfoi | team, ie Bears a jst the Agj state tournament), and our out{el|( se em to 1 the Bears missed Texas A&M’s eight runs during the tournament.
