Track
Eight members of the Texas A6cM University men’s and women’s
track teams have been invited to the Dallas Times-Herald’s Invitation
al Indoor Track and Field Meet Saturday in Dallas’ Reunion Arena.
Nationally ranked and world class athletes competing in 22 major
track and field events will appear.
Four of the Aggie athletes are members of the 1980 SWC champion
men’s team. Four women — Jana Graves, Ellen Smith, Evely'n Smith
and Sandra Cooper — will be participating in the 4-by-176-yard relay.
The four usually run the mile relay for the women’s team, but in this
event will simply run one lap each around the 176-yard track.
Athletes were selected on the basis of their performances over the
past year.
Aggie men participating in the Invitational will be Leslie Kerr in the
440-yard dash (NCAA runner-up last season), Randy Hall in the pole
vault (NCAA 1980 indoor and outdoor champion), James Howard in
the high jump (SWC champion and member of the 1980 American
Oly mpic Team) and Billy Busch in the 60-yard high hurdles (SWC
champion). -
Women’s swimming
Texas A&M’s women’s swimming team will be in San Marcos Satur
day to take on Southwest Texas State in a dual meet.
Last Friday, the Aggie women led Rice until the final relay before
falling just short, 77.5-71.5 in Houston. On Saturday, the Houston
Cougars defeated the Aggies, 89-42.
Men’s golf
The Texas A&M men’s golf team will be at the Atoscocita Invitation
al Saturday and Sunday in Houston.
Men’s basketball
The Texas Aggies, 1-7, will host the Baylor Bears, 5-3, Saturday at
7:30 in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Fans wishing to buy tickets may do so at windows 4, 5 and 7 in front
of the Coliseum. Windows open at 6 p.m. There will be no women’s
game.
Despite shooting at a 58 percent clip against Houston Wednesday
night, the Aggies fell victim to sophomore Rob Williams’ 33 points and
a Houston stall with just over nine minutes left to lose their ninth game
in their last 10 tries, 76-71.
Fifteen college basketball players from Texas, including two from
Texas A&M University, have been nominated for selection to the
All-Star teams competing in the 10th annual Pizza Hut Basketball
Classic.
They include: Rynn Wright and Vernon Smith of Texas A&M;
Terry Adolph, West Texas State; Roshem Amie and Anthony Burns,
Texas-El Paso; B.B. Davis and Mike Olliver, Lamar; Kenneth Green,
Pan American; Gary Hopkins, Howard Payne; Melvin Polk, Texas-
Arlington; Charles Spurlin, Southwest Texas State; Ed Turner, Texas
A&I; Gordon Welch, SMU; David Bums of Dallas, attending St.
Ixjuis; and Alton Lister of Dallas, attending Arizona State.
Women’s basketball
The Aggie Ladies, after knocking off TCU Wednesday in the first
round of the first women’s Southwest Conference Tournament, were
defeated Thursday in the second round by Texas Tech, 62-51.
The Aggies shot a miserable 32.9 percent of their shots, 23-of-70
from the field. Guard Shery l Clark led the Aggies with just 10 points.
Cathy Fuller added nine and Kelley Sullivan seven.
There is still hope, however, as Texas A&M falls to the consolation
bracket and will play Arkansas, a 110-61 loser to Texas Thursday, at
4:30 p.m. today in Hofheinz Pavillion.
Bears in town Saturday
Metcalf proud of Ag fans
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Battalion Staff
The frustrated Texas Aggies re
turn to the court Saturday night in
what has all of the makings of a barn
burner as they entertain the stumb
ling Baylor Bears in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
The Aggies are trying to rebound
from a disappointing four-game los
ing streak that has seen them come
close to victory' in every game but
only to have it slip away in the final
minutes.
The Aggies’ latest setback came
Wednesday night at the hands of Rob
Williams, Clyde Drexler and Co.
(otherwise known as the University
of Houston), as they stopped the
Aggies, 76-71.
Wednesday night was not only bad
for the Aggies, though, as the Bears
found themselves leaving Daniel
Meyer Coliseum in Ft. Worth won
dering what happened to their title
hopes as they were upset by TCU,
58-50.
It was the third loss in a row for the
Bears, who, at the beginning of the
week found themselves tied with
Houston for the conference lead.
With the loss to TCU, Baylor’s sea
son record falls to 10-8, and 5-3 in
conference action.
Texas A&M stands at 8-9 on the
season and 1-7 in league play.
Even with the Houston loss
Wednesday night Head Coach Shel
by Metcalf saw some good things that
might hint of an Aggie comeback in
the near future.
“We shot better in the Houston
game. It was the the first time that
we have shot over 50 percent (59.,3)
in a conference game this year,’’
Metcalf said.
Rynn Wright led the Aggies with
18 points, Roy Jones had 15 and Reg
gie Roberts chipped in 14.
Metcalf was especially pleased
with Jones’ performance saying it
was the best game that he has played
all year.
“Three good games in a row. He’s
getting better, he’s really getting
better, ’ Metcalf said of the 6-7 soph-
Shelby Metcalf
"But everybody has got to play
(well) for us to win. Up to now we’ve
played just well enough to get beat.’’
Although senior co-captain Ver
non Smith hasn’t played too well in
recent games he needs only four
points to break John Beasley’s record
of 1,594 points and stands an excel
lent chance to surpass him as the
all-time leading Aggie scorer Satur
day night.
“We were picked too high to start
out with, ” Metcalf said looking back
at a disappointing season, thus far,
“We lost three starters off of last
year’s team when you count Rudy
flunking out. As hard as we have
played, though, something good is
going to happen.”
Even with the lackluster season
Metcalf was very pleased with the
support of the student body: It has
been wonderful, just super. They’ve
carried their load, now it is up to us
to win for them.
“The band, yell leaders and stu
dent body have done a hell-of-a-job
and that’s what separates A&M from
other universities. Its been real posi
tive. Everybody is pulling for us and
were doing our damndest to repay
them.”
Metcalf acknowledged the fact
that Texas A&M athletics have really
suffered this year and he said he
could understand that some fans
might write off the team as a failure.
Anybody can follow a winner, he
said, but it takes a special kind of fan
to support a stumbling team and
Texas A&M has that kind of fan sup
port.
"We think more of the student
body for what they have done this
year than what they did last year.
Metcalf seemed to think that the
Aggies are coming out of their
slump. The last two games the team
has nearly played up to the level ex
pected of them.
“I think that if we had played as
well as we did W’ednesday night
against the other conference teams
we would be 4-4. We have not lost by
more than nine points in conference.
We have played close games and that
is what makes me think we will break
out of this slump. ”
Following the Baylor game the
Aggies take a week off before enter
taining Texas Tech Feb. 7 in G. Rol
lie. While the break will give the
Aggies much-needed time to re
group and start anew Metcalf was a
little skeptical of the break.
“I don’t know if that (break) is good
or bad. I guess it would be good if we
were at the top but if you’re at the
bottom it’s like you’re playing poker
and losing all the time. The loser is
always saying ‘deal them’.
“You would be amazed at how
many ways you can put your socks on
and tie your shoes when you are in a
losing streak. You know how it is
when you’re winning you do some
thing a certain way you want to stick
with it. Last year we started win
ning and I wore my maroon coat and
camel slacks. This year I’ve gone
through my whole wardrobe. If this
keeps up I’ll have to buy some more
clothes.”
