Ladson had missed practices last Thursday and Friday, claiming he had an injured ankle, but team trainers said they had not seen the senior guard. “Maurice and Tyrone both reported to practice Monday,” Metcalf said. “I put them both on the scout squad. Maurice worked real good so I let him work with the varsity for awhile.” McDaniel is a 6-8 sophomore who transferred from the University of Florida after gaining All-Southeast Conference honors there in 1978. He sat out a year to gain eligibility at Texas A&M.

Dou^ AX'C rv Kings ride Ford to victory United Press International DALLAS — Otis Birdsong was back home suffering from the flu, but the Kansas City Kings took the pre caution of bringing Phil Ford along Tuesday night. And when they play the Mavericks that’s all the Kings seem to need. “Phil Ford did it to us the last time he played here, the time before that and the time before that,” said Dallas coach Dick Motta, exaggerating somewhat since it was only the third time Ford had ever played in Dallas. “He opens things up with his drives. We tried to block his shots and we tried to just block him. But we just couldn’t stop him. ” Ford scored 30 points Tuesday night and put on a display by running the Kings’ fast break while leading Kansas City to a 121-100 win over the Mavericks. “Phil Ford is a one in a lifetime player,” said Kansas City coach Cot ton Fitzimmons. “He is a great com petitor and a pleasure to watch. It’s like having a coach on the floor. “Dean Smith (Ford’s coach at North Carolina) taught him well. He has one thing in mind and that’s helping the team win.” Dallas jumped in front by as many as 13 in the first quarter, but Ford and Sam Lacey (who finished with 14 points) rallied the Kings during the second quarter and it was no contest during the second half. “I felt good about us in the first half and we really looked good in the first quarter," said Motta. “The way we started I thought we had mixed up the jerseys. We were fast breaking on them. But I think they got riled up at halftime. Kansas City is battling for a playoff spot and Fitzsimmons said he felt good about his team making it. 771 (TNAJ ffftlTH MU.LEL KXNO* Rabbi Jacob Izakson Christian & Judaism — a comparison — selected topics 8:00 p.m. Feb. 4 350A MSC OPEN TO PUBLIC 10% AGGIE DISCOUNT ON ALL MERCHANDISE WITH STUDENT ID (Cash Only Please) We reserve the right to limit use of this privilege.
