“Seattle can certainly put

both sides contributed to each

“We know exactly what must

Freshman Holloway leads
young Aars oast Panthers
by John Wagner
Battalion Staff
Freshman guard Todd Hollo
way scored 23 points and hand
ed out seven assists to lead the
Texas Aggies to an 89-58 victory
over Prairie View A&M Tues
day in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Holloway, who also had six
steals, hit 7 of 12 shots from the
field and 9 of 9 from the free
throw line to push the Aggies to
their second win of the season
against no losses. Prairie View
dropped to 0-3.
The Aggies, who opened the
season Saturday with a win over
Texas Lutheran College, pulled
away from the Panthers early in
the contest and were never se
riously contested. Led by Hollo
way — who scored 10 of A&M’s
first 17 points — and fellow
freshman Winston Crite, the
Aggies coasted to a 43-21 half
time lead.
The second half was more of
the same, with the Aggies going
on a 12-2 tear starting at the
11:26 mark to put the game out
of reach.
Coach Shelby Metcalf was
pleased with his team’s effort.
“We’ve got a long way to go,
but we played with intensity,
especially early,” Metcalf said.
“We were much more intense
than we were against TLC.”
Holloway said the Panthers
needed to be “a litde more pa
tient on offense” to stay in the
game.
“They were tough on the
boards,” Holloway sakL “That
helped us because they went to
to
the boards hard and we knew we
had to box ’em out.”
The Aggies outrebounded
Prairie View 40-38, but used
their height advantage more
effectively on the offensive end
of the court to pull down 23
offensive rebounds.
The game was marred by 66
personal fouls, and the two
teams combined to shoot 83 free
throws.
The Aggies’ competition gets
considerably tougher Saturday
: tht
when they meet the LSU Tigers
in the Summit in Houston. Met
calf said he was looking forward
to sending his youngsters — the
Aggies have only one junior and
no seniors — against the No. 7-
ranked Tigers.
“The game’s got to help us,”
- Metcalf said. “We’re playing one
of the top teams in the nation.
It’s inevitable. Sooner or later it
(playing a tough team) was
going to happen — whether it
was Indiana, Houston, or
Arkansas.”
Metcalf said he hasn’t settled
on a exact lineup yet, and might
not for some time. The Aggies
started three sophomores and
two freshmen against Prairie
View, and all 12 players saw
playing time.
“Like I told ’em (his players)
today,” Metcalf said, “it’ll be dif
ferent strokes for different
folks. We’re not settled on a
lineup yet. It’s just too early to
tell.”

HOUSTON — Clutch shoot
ing by reserve guard Alan
Leavell in the game’s final two
minutes led the Houston Rock
ets to a 116-110 victory over the
Chicago Bulls in a foul-plagued
game Tuesday night.
Leavell led all scorers with 28
points, including 14 of 18 from
the free throw line and the two
teams combined to shoot 102
free throws during the contest.
Houston hit 40 of 54, while
Chicago converted 34 of its 48
-attempts.
Orlando Woolridge led Chi
cago scoring with 25 and Rock
ets center Ralph Sampson also
tallied 25.
The Bulls jumped out to a 33-
24 lead after the first quarter.
Woolridge scored 12 and point
guard Ronnie Lester added 8 in
the first period to lead Chicago.
Chicago forced Houston into
eight first quarter turnovers to
build its lead.
Leavell came off the Houston
bench to score 14 second quar
ter points and pass out three
assists to give Houston a 58-57
lead at the half.

In looking at the team (in the
re-evaluation) we didn’t find
anything too bad. We did drop
out a few running plays and a
few defenses that weren’t doing
too good.
“But chiefly we just need to
keep our consistency.”
On another topic Landry said
he planned to utilize recently
signed punter Jim Miller against
the Seahawks in situations that
called for short punts angled out
of bounds inside the 20-yard
line.
“We wanted to do that last
week, but we never got it done,”
said Landry. “We definitely will
do it this week. Danny (quarter
back Danny White) will still punt
when we are in our own end of
the field. But around midfield,
and on in we will use Miller.’
Miller was signed when pun
ter John Warren injured a knee
trying to make a tackle against
the Los Angeles raiders last
month.
