bench to score 11 points, hitting 5 of 6 from the
field.
The Aggies got 20 points from Riley and 15
from guard Reggie Roberts, but the other three
starters chipped in for only 12 points.
UH shot 53.9 percent from the field compared
to the Aggies’ 38.5, but much of that was caused by
the Cougars’ defensive pressure.
Metcalf said he thought the Cougars should go
far this season.
“I’ve been playing Houston ever since I got this
job,” he said. “We’ve been playing them home and
home for twenty years and that’s the best I’ve ever
seen the University of Houston play up here —
and it may be the best I’ve seen them play ever.
“If they continue to play like they did today,
they’re definately a final-four ball club. They’ve
got a class act. It was a tremendous performance
by Houston.
“But hey, I’m proud of our team. It was a well-
played ball game, but there’s just no ties in basket
ball.”
Riley said the Aggies have to forget about the
loss.
“A lot of things can still happen the rest of the
season,” he said. “This game’s over — we just have
to forget about it and keep working hard.
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s a long season.
Maybe on down the road, in the conference tour
nament, we’ll meet ’em again.”
Aggie guard Tyren Naulls said the game was
important, but that it was just one of many.
“We’ve faced some tough teams this year, and
they’re right up there with them,” Naulls said.
“But this is A&M’s toughest schedule ever, and
they’re just a part of that tough schedule. We’ve
got to throw this game behind us and start over
from square one.”
Houston raised its record to 18-2 (9-0 in the
SWC) with the victory. It was the Cougars’ 13th
straight victory, but it was their first win in College
Station since Jan. 12, 1978, when they defeated
the Aggies 80-73.
Texas A&M fell to 11-11 with the loss, 5-4 in
conference play. The Aggies had a two-game win
ning streak snapped, having defeated Texas and
Texas Tech before falling to UH.
T he Aggies travel to Houston Wednesday to
play the Rice Owls, who won their first conference
game of the season Saturday, defeating Baylor
54-48.

Men’s tennis team posts two shutouts
by John P. Lopez
Battalion Staff
It was a terrible weekend to
play tennis — cold, misty, windy
and generally miserable.
Who would want to play ten
nis in such bad conditions? The
Texas A&M men’s tennis team
sure didn’t; consequently the
Aggies quickly disposed of
McNeese State on Friday, 9-0,
and Stephen F. Austin on Sun
day, 9-0.
The Aggies went about their
business in workman-like
fashion, without losing a single
set to either team.
In Saturday’s match, No. 1
singles player Brian Joelson
started off slowly but came back
to defeat Jack Sheehy 7-6, 6-3.
No. 2 singles player Kimmo
Alkio had a similar match with
SFA’s Scott Koth, but Alkio ulti
mately disposed of Koth 7-6, 6-
0.
From that point, the Aggies
simply went through the mo
tions, as not one of the other
matches was closer than 6-4.
Asa matter of fact, the Aggies
have been going through the
motions for four matches now.
Texas A&M is undefeated
against four opponents this year
and has won all four by identical
9-0 scores.
Next weekend, however, the
Aggies should prepare them
selves for a little more of a test as

Most of the 13,000 fans who
attended this weekend’s Dallas
Times-Herald Invitational
Track and Field Meet went to
Reunion Arena to cheer on such
legendary track stars as Carl
Lewis and Mary Decker Tabb.
But before the meet was over,
several Aggie track stars re
ceived their share of aplause.
The meet was separated into
two parts: In the evening, the
world-class stars competed
head-to-head, while in the after
noon, colleges and universities
competed against one another.
In both divisions, Texas
A&M was well-represented.
Tony Tolson finished first
Saturday afternoon in the col
legiate division’s 600-yard run,
as he finished with a time of
1:10.69 — almost two seconds
faster than the second-place
finisher.
In the elite evening division,
Texas A&M’s mile relay team of
Tolson, Clif Chatham, Tony
Grier and Bill Shelton topped
their division with a time of
3:16.8 seconds. The foursome’s
time was almost two seconds
slower than their fastest clocking

this year, but it was good enough
to bring home first place.
Aggie high jumper Jimmy
Howard placed fourth in the
evening division, but Aggie
head coach Charlie Thomas said
Howard should do better in the
future.
“He just didn’t have his tim

around 7-4 or 7-5 like he would
like,” Thomas said, “but he
should get it down soon. Over
all, I was pleased with our per

It’s been a long time coming,
but Texas A&M has finally ar
rived — scratch that, docked in
the world of competitive swim
ming.
The Aggie swimmers turned
in perhaps their best effort of
the year against perennial pow
erhouse Texas Friday as the
Aggies pushed the Horns to the
limit before losing by 15 points,
64-49.
Texas A&M head coach Mel
Nash said the Aggies could have
won the meet were it not for a
couple of bad breaks.
“We’ve been coming real
close to the big boys, but we ha
ven’t quite pulled one out yet,”
Nash said. “But I guess if you
were going to lose a close one,
Texas is a good team to lose to.”
And that’s an understate-

Texas is regarded as one of
the best teams in the country
and is consistently among the
top five finishers at the NCAA
national meet. But the Aggies
weren’t intimidated by the Lon
ghorns. In fact, one Aggie swim
mer defeated a world record
holder who swims for Texas.
Chris O’Neil captured first
place in the 100-yard butterfly
and in the process defeated Wil
liam Paulus, who owns the world
mark in that event.
Other first-place finishers for
the Aggies were Rick Walker,
pool record, and Craig
mann in the 50-yard fred
with a time of 21.46.
T he Texas A&M
freestyle relay team also
tured first place with a lira

The Aggies will meet
