HOUSTON — The Texas
Aggies, who are destined to
spend the remainder of the sea
son with the tag “youthful” pre
facing their name, stuck right
with the No. 12-ranked LSU Ti
gers for 30 minutes of Satur
day’s contest in the Summit.
It was the other 10 that sealed
their fate.
Down by just five points at
halftime, the Aggies roared back
onto the court to start Round
Two and promptly found them
selves at the mercy of a Tiger
half-court trap that turned the
f ame around and gave LSU a
5-65 victory before 4,285.
The Tigers hit three straight
baskets off the trap to open the
second half, and A&M didn’t
score until the 16:51 mark when
guard Kenny Brown hit a 20-
footjump shot. But LSU reeled
off 11 unanswered points to ice
the game jumping to a 23-point
lead before a late Aggie com
eback against LSU reserves cut
the Tiger margin of victory to
10.
“The half-court trap was the
difference,” LSU coach Dale
Brown said. “That turned the
. game around.”
For the Aggies, however, cold
shooting hands and an inability
to break the Tiger zone defense
hurt just as much as LSU’s quick
trap.
A&M hit only 42 percent of its
field goal attempts and shot a
horrible 59 percent from the
free throw line, making 13 of 22
attempts. In comparison, theTi-
S ers shot 53 percent from the
oor and made 21 of 30 free
throw attempts.
“They shot like a nationally-
ranked team,” A&M coach Shel
by Metcalf lamented.
But that wasn’t all. The Tigers
gave A&M’s offense fits in the
second half, disrupting the
Aggies’ patient game plan and
forcing shots from the outside.
A&M center Jimmie Gilbert,
who finished the first half with 4
points, was never a factor in the
second half when the Aggies
couldn’t work the ball inside.
“They created a lot of prob
lems for us inside,” Gilbert said.
One of those problems was 6-
8 Tiger center Steffond John
son. Gilbert and Johnson battled
it out for most of the game, but
ohnson had a little help in the
efty frames of forwards Jerry
Reynolds (6-8) and Leonard
Mitchell (6-7).
In an effort to beef up A&M’s
inside game, Metcalf pulled star
ter Winston Crite (“Crite may
have been a little awed by
Leonard Mitchell,” Metcalf ex- '
plained), and replaced him with
Mike Clifford. The freshman
from Round Rock answered the
call, scoring 10 points and pull
ing down 12 rebounds — a per
formance that surprised even
Metcalf.
“I’ve never seen him play like
that — either in a game or in
practice,” Metcalf said.
Tiger sophomore Derrick
Taylor led all scorers with 19
points, and Mitchell added 15 to
help LSU raise its record to 4-0.
l:
Brown led the Aggies — now 2-1
— with 16, followed by guard
Todd Holloway’s 12.
A&M kept the game close
throughout the first half, after
LSU hit three straight baskets to
start the game. The Tigers
pushed their lead to 17-10 when
Mitchell and Reynolds hit lay
ups off the fast break, and A&M
called timeout with 12:40 left in
the half.
“They were beating us down
the court,” Holloway said.
“They beat us in the transistion
game, and we had to start forc
ing our shots.”
The Tigers went ahead by 11,
23-12 on jump shots by Taylor
and John Tudor, but the Aggies
took advantage of an LSU cold
streak to climb to a five-point de
ficit when the half ended.
The Aggies, who host South
western tonight at 7:30 p.m. in
G. Rollie White Coliseum, con
tinue to experiment with line-up
combinations and starting posi
tions. Metcalf says that — at least
for now — the experimenting
won’t change.
“As the season goes along and
we know more about our peo-,
pie, we’ll have more of the right'
people playing,” Metcalf said.
“I’m not down about this team.
Like I’ve said all along, they’re
young, but they’re steadily iny* ‘
proving.
“I feel better about the team
than I did before the game.” ; '

J After Warner’s score, backup
Cowboy quarterback Gary
Hogeboom took Dallas on one
final scoring drive and capped it
j with a 15-yard pass to Timmy
I Newsome with just over a mi-
| nule to play.
I Seattle quarterback Dave
Krieg was pressured all after
noon by the Dallas rush and was
sacked seven times, the high
mark for the Cowboys’ defense
this season. But the Seahawks
also hurt themselves with costly
turnovers and penalties on four
separate occasions deep in Dal
las territory.
Seattle’s next big mistake
came on their next possession
right after Dallas had marched
97 yards for a 7-0 lead. This
time, Warner broke loose for an
apparent 24-yard gain to the
Dallas’ 7 but the play was wiped
out by a holding penalty. After
another penalty and a quarter
back sack by the Cowboys, Seat
tle was forced to punt on the fin
al play of the first quarter.
The Seahawks threatened
again late in the second quarter
and appeared to have scored on
a 28-yard pass from Krieg to
Byron Walker. But another
holding penalty nullified the
score and the Seahawks were
forced to settle for a 54-yard
field goal by Norm Johnson —
his career best — with nine
seconds left in the half to cut
Dallas’ lead to 14-3.
Seattle started the second
half the same way it opened the
game — by wasting an oppor
tunity set up by a Cowboy mis
take.
Seattle received the opening
kickoff and was forced to punt
after three plays. But the Sea
hawks got the ball right back
when Jeff West’s punt hit a Dal
las player and Seattle recovered.
The Seahawks moved quickly to
the Cowboys’ 13, where another
bad handoff between Krieg and
Warner gave the ball back to
Dallas.
Later that quarter, the Cow
boys put the game out of reach
when White connected on the
35-yard touchdown pass to Don
ley for his 10th straight pass
completion. White finished with
19 completions in 26 attempts
for 233 yards and the two touch
downs. Hogeboom was 4-for-4
for 60 yards and a TD in his brief
relief appearance.
Seattle’s scoring output was its
lowest of the season and came on
the heels of a five-game stretch
in which the Seahawks had aver
aged 39 points a contest. Dallas
held a 418-216 edge in total
offense.
