Junior guard
quits Ag team
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
Junior guard Rob Wright quit the Texas A&M University basketball
team Saturday because he said he “wasn’t getting a fair chance at all."
Wright has seen limited action over the past two years, but was
competing in fall workouts for guard, a position the Aggies are desper
ately trying to fill due to the loss of stars Dave Goff and David Britton to
graduation.
“They (coaches) told me they weren’t going to let me play this year,”
said Wright Tuesday. “He (Head Coach Shelby Metcalf) had me on
third team and never let me switch jerseys and move up. I was always
third string.”
Wright said he will transfer to the University ofTexas-Arlington next
semester.
“There’s nothing I can do about it,” he said. “There’s no way all
seven of the other guards could be better than me.
“Two weeks before the workouts started, he (Metcalf) told me
everything was fine. Now, it’s stay and don’t play or transfer. I still can’t
understand.”
Other guards trying for the open positions include Tyrone Ladson,
Reggie Roberts, Michael Brown, Milton Woodley, Bruce Suter, Jay
McHugh and Roy Jones.
Wright said several players in the past have been put in what he calls
Metcalfs “doghouse.” Metcalf, however, scoffs at that idea.
“He’s not in my doghouse,” he said. “I don’t even have a doghouse. I
have a dog, but he stays in the house with us.
“It sounds to me like he’s pretty sincere. He was pretty near accu
rate. All I told Robbie is ‘you’re just not good enough.’ There’s no
personality problem or anything. I’ve just got to play the best players. I
hope he finds good luck wherever he goes.”
Wright claims, however, that he wasn’t given a chance to prove his
worth.
“There are a whole lot of people who want to see me play, ” he said. "I
probably have just as much fans as David (Britton) and David Goff did.
The games I played last year, I played well. The people I’ve talked to
are very disappointed.
“I won’t be able to get a scholarship. I can play there (UT-A) or here
too, for that matter.”
Texas A&M 17th
in Stanford meet
Texas A&M faded somewhat in
the final round and finished 17th in
the Stanford Fall Invitational golf
tournament last Saturday.
Arizona State won the champion
ship with a seven-stroke margin over
runner-up Oklahoma State. The
Wildcats posted a 718 to 725 for the
Cowboys.
The Aggies, who were seventh
going into the final round, were led
by Bart Cobb who had a 54-hole total
of 216. Other Aggie scores: Brad
Jones 221, Richard Cromwell 230,
Danny Briggs 231, Gary Krueger
233 and Paul Oglesby 233.
It was by far the worst perform
ance of the year for the Aggies.
Texas A&M led off the season in
early September with a second place
finish in the Fall Southwest Confer
ence Golf Tournament, and on Sept.
23 took second once again, five
strokes behind Houston, in the
Houston Jr.-Sr. College Meet at the
Woodlands Golf Course in Houston.
The Aggies now look toward the
Harvey Penick Invitational in Austin
Nov. 10-12.
Keough given award
United Press International
NEW YORK — In Matt Keough’s
eyes, the recent fortunes of the Oak
land A s have been reflected in his
own record.
“I was the epitome of our ballclub
the last two years,” he said. “I was
the prime example of the club being
bad last year and good this year. ”
Keough, victim of a 14-game los
ing streak one season ago while the
A’s had the worst record in baseball,
Monday was named the UPI Com
eback Player of the Year in the Amer
ican League for 1980. The 25-year-
old right-hander received 17 of 50
votes for rebounding from a dis
astrous 2-17 record to post a 16-13
season with a 2.92 ERA.
Oakland, meanwhile, under man
ager Billy Martin, improved enough
to win 83 games this year.
Martin’s influence on Keough was
obvious earlier in the pitcher’s
career, in 1978, when Martin was
managing the New York Yankees and

in Shreveport, La. Two weeks ago,
the Aggies placed second in a tourna

sville.
also managing the AL All-Star squad.
The skipper named Keough to the
All-Star team, and the experience of
playing that one game for Martin
buoyed Keough so much that he re
joiced upon hearing Martin would
manage the A’s in 1980.
“He gave me confidence,”
Keough said. “I was never geared to
complete baseball games. But he
said, ‘When you go out there, the
ballgame’s yours.’”
Keough responded by pitching 20
complete games and two shutouts in
32 starts. Reliever Rich Gossage,
who bounced back from a thumb in
jury to help pitch the New York
Yankees to the East Division title
this year, finished a distant second in
the voting with four votes. Kansas

catcher Carlton Fisk, and righthand
ers Steve Stone of Baltimore and
Mike Norris of Oakland received
three votes each.
