It was the first game of the season for the Wall, consisting of Vernon Smith, Rynn Wright, Rudy Woods and Claude Riley, as they held the Canadians to a miserable 38 per cent shooting effort for the night in front of5,646 G. Rollie White fans. Meanwhile the Aggies shot 56.2 percent on the floor, including a sizzling 70 percent during the second half. Stymied by the Ag’s 3-2 zone de fense, the Canadians managed to hit only 23 of 60 field goal attempts. Texas A&M Head Coach Shelby Metcalf was obviously pleased with his team’s performance. T think their skill has improved,” said Metcalf. “Our defense is furth er along than our offense. It’s what carried us last year. We take pride in our defense. ” After allowing Windsor to jump to a 4-1 lead in the game’s first three minutes, the Aggies erupted for eight unanswered points following a Rudy Woods stuff shot and never trailed again. Woods finished the night with a team-high 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Wright chipped in 18 points. Windsor fought back to tie the game at 11 apiece with 12:40 left in the first half on a 20-foot jump shot by Bill Day but Texas A&M quickly built a 10-point lead and it was clear sailing from there on. Going into the locker room at half time, the Aggies enjoyed a com fortable 32-21 advantage. In the second half, they picked up where they left off and jumped out to a 17-point lead on a Woods lay-in with 17:36 left to play. Metcalf substituted freely through out most of the rout, and gave ev erybody on his squad a chance to pick up some needed playing time. Metcalf said he was pleased with the play of his guards, a position that many thought was question able. “I thought it was good,” analyzed Metcalf. “I thought Tyrone (Lad- son) did well. He just got in foul trouble, but they were hustling fouls. Reggie (Roberts) played well, really well for a freshman. Jay McHugh played well at gn did Roy Jones. “Overall, I thought our gn- was just about as g play.

The Jets took the kickoff at the start of overtime and were aided by a 15-yard facemask penalty which brought the ball to New York’s 40. The Jets then moved to the Hous ton 25 to set up Leahy’s winning kick. The key plays in the winning march were receptions of 9 and 17 yards by running back Bruce Harper. The bitter loss snapped a five-game Houston winning streak and drop ped the Oilers, 8-4, into a first- place tie with Cleveland in the AFC Central, one game ahead of Pittsburgh. A 5-yard touchdown pass from Ken Stabler to Rich Caster with 1:31 remaining in regulation capped a 28-point fourth quarter for the Oil ers and tied the score 28-28. The Jets, 3-9, moved to Houston’s 19 with six seconds left in regulation but Leahy missed a 36-yard field goal attempt to force the overtime. Harper took a swing pass from Richard Todd, who completed 13- of-26 passes for 236 yards and two interceptions, and raced 45 yards for a touchdown with 4:17 remain ing to give the Jets a 28-21 lead. Houston had rallied from a 21-0 fourth-quarter deficit on three TD passes by Stabler. After the Oilers had tied the score 21-21 on a 68-yard TD pass from Stabler to Caster with 5:30 left, the United Press International DALLAS — The four private schools in the Southwest Confer ence Saturday wrapped up their first winning season over the league’s state-supported universi ties in 17 years. Wins by Baylor over Texas and SMU over Arkansas gave the pri vate institutions an 11-8 record against the state schools with only one game remaining — Rice’s meeting with Houston next weekend. Baylor did the most damage, win ning all five of its games against the state colleges this season. The last such winning season was in 1963 when Baylor, Rice, TCU and SMU combined for a 14-13-1 re cord against Texas, Texas A&M, Texas and Texas Tech. Lacrosse team wins again Jets struck quickly after the en suing kickoff. Following an incom pletion and a 21-yard pass to Lam Jones, Todd hit Harper in the right flat and the speedy running back cut across the field to score the go- ahead touchdown and give the Jets a 28-21 lead. The Texas A&M University lacros se team raised its scrimmage re cord to 5-0 Sunday with a 16-4 win over the Lone Star Lacrosse Club of Austin. The game was played at Southwest Texas State University campus in San Marcos. SWTSU invited the two teams because it is planning to form its own lacrosse team. The Aggies may venture to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns lac rosse team Saturday before the A&M-Longhorn football game, but details haven’t been worked out thus far. rwirgiWBraMgmwij A GC,ISLAND N'&WiViH'RH 109-111 Boyett St. (Next Door To Campus Theater) DOLL [NAPLES, II than 10( iquake, wl ishima A-b >d the dea [We’ve aske ter in Lav ole familie DA" I the city w of a worn; rete and s (Pressed Him Cheew and #11$ (Turkey t Cl Interior Min at least 1, iquake, whii ale and hit w $ 1 Just Monday anil Tuesday (J HAPPY HOUR i iexas A&M re the fol Monday through (^ Friday IT 3 p.m.-6 p.m. BEER ’A PRICE Mlchelob & Coon on Tap.
