champions held their first scrim
mage and a big question mark re
mains. Who will fill the void left by
the graduation of guards David Brit
ton and David Goff?
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.

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

1979, but have never had a better

1980. Sixteen of those 26 wins were
