HOUSTON— Legal action by the
limited owners of the Houston
Astros to dissolve a partnership that
has John McMullen as its controlling
officer has put control of the club in a
federal judge’s court.
McMullen, owner of the team
since July 1979, denied through a
spokesman late Thursday that the
partnership had been dissolved, de
spite a proxy statement he was given
earlier in the day saying a required
60 percent of the limited partners
approved the breakup.
McMullen refused requests from
the limited partners representative,
Edward Randall III, to sell his 34
percent.
Randall then had an attorney file a
federal court lawsuit accusing
McMullen of mismanagement.
McMullen was the lone defen
dant. Randall, an investment bank
er, was the only plaintiff named.
“The morale of the Houston Astros
Baseball Club has been shattered by
the mismanagement of the Defen
dant,” the lawsuit said.
A Monday hearing was scheduled
before U.S. District Judge Carl O.
Rue. Lawyer Joe Jamail will seek to
have a court-appointed receiver take
over the club’s assets.
The lawsuit did not mention
McMullen’s Oct. 27 firing of General
Manager Tal Smith. McMullen re
placed him with former New York
Yankees President Al Rosen.
Those involved in the takeover are
known to want Smith back.
A McMullen spokesman said
“three or four” limited partners met
with McMullen Thursday evening,
and it was reported they were nego
tiating for the purchase of the 34 per
cent McMullen controlled. The talks
lasted into the night.
An employee who works in the
Astrodome executive offices said
McMullen was visibly shaken by the
events and repeatedly said the
minority partners were “mean and
nasty people.”
“The General Partner (McMullen)
has engaged in acts of mismanage
ment of the Partnership affairs that
have brought great damage to the
interests of the Partnership, and to
the Limited Partners,” the lawsuit
said.

By JON HEIDTKE
Battalion Staff
With a new and improved “Wall”,
but an inexperienced backcourt, the
Texas A&M men’s basketball team
opens the 1980-81 season in an ex
hibition contest against the Windsor
Basketball Club Saturday at 7:30
p.m.
Shelby Metcalf, who will be enter
ing his 18th season as head coach for
the Aggies, will probably start a line
up featuring Tyrone Ladson and the
Smith and Wright, the club’s top
two scorers from a year ago, will
open up on the wings, and the 6-1
Ladson will be the point guard.
“Right now it’s just a tease,” said
Metcalf about the one guard line-up.
“It is going just good enough not to
give up on it, hut it is not good
enough to say that is the way we re
gonna play this season. ”
But one of the problems facing the
defending SWC champions this sea
son is finding good back-up help for
Ladson. The answer may lie in the
form of Reggie Roberts from
McKinney.
“He is a good one and will see lots
of playing time, ” said graduate assis
tant coach David Goff about Roberts,
“hut he is still a freshman and will
make freshman mistakes.”
But the big problem facing Met-

Senior co-captains Rynn Wright and
Vernon Smith, along with Rudy
Woods and Claude Riley make up
the new “Wall”.
Riley, the 6-9 “Crockett Rocket”,
has moved up from last year’s status
as a brick in the “Wall” to a full-
fledged member and will start Satur
day in a double low post along with
the 6-11 Woods.

calf in the one-guard offense is in
what he calls the Aggies lack of abil
ity to play all phases of the game.
“When those situations arise, we will
hopefully be able to counter-attack
from the bench, he said.
This year’s bench is made up of
Roberts, Jay McHugh, Mike Brown,
Roy Jones and Bruce Sooter. Metcalf
said the Aggies have the makings for
a strong bench.
The Aggies have been tabbed
15th in both wire services polls, but
will need more then a strong bench
if they are expected to remain in the
top 20 during the nonconference
schedule, since 11 of their first 13
games are on the road.
