DALLAS — Guard Kato Arm-
Istrong keyed a 12-0 run midway
[through the second half as Southern
(Methodist stampeded to an 86-68
[Southwest Conference victory over
[Texas A&M Thursday night.
SMU improved its records to 11-
ilO for the season and 3-7 in the
SWC. Texas A&M fell to 12-8 and 4-
15.
Armstrong scored eight of his 18
points as SMU broke a tie at 44 and
suilt a 56-44 lead that the Aggies
Inever overcame. Terry Williams and
[Carlton McKinney each scored a
|game-high 20 points for the Mus-
ftangs.
Texas A&M guard Darryl Mc-
iDonald, making his first start, led
[the Aggies witn 18 points. Todd
Holloway chipped in 17 points for
the Aggies.
SMU shot 61 percent from the
field, compared to only 42 percent
for the Aggies, who also were outre-
bounded 40-33 before 4,628 fans in
Moody Coliseum.
The Aggies played without start
ing forward John Trezvant, who
missed the game with a case of the
chicken pox. Trezvant is expected to
miss the next three contests.
A&M defeated Southern Method
ist 61-59 the first time the two teams
met this season.
The Aggies were frustrated trying
to hit three-point shots over the
tough SMU zone defense, making
only three of 14 attempts.
“This victory is a big lift for us,”
said SMU Coach Dave Bliss. “We lost
some close ones early, but our guys
have hung on and it’s great to see
them experiencing some success af
ter the bad times.
“Kato did a good job of penetrat
ing and kicking off. For a sopho
more guard, Kato is doing very well.
I thought the Aggies missed Trez
vant. He hit a lot of shots against us
in College Station. They are a differ
ent team without him.” -
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf said,
“Our guys played hard but we got
tired out there. We made a little run
at them to open the second half but
it took a lot out of our guys.”
It was Texas A&M’s fourth con
secutive loss. The Aggies return
home to G. Rollie White Coliseum
for a 2 p.m. game Sunday with

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) —
After two years of narrow misses,
former New York Knick guard
Walt Frazier was one of five for
mer players named to the Basket
ball Hall of Fame Thursday.
Also elected in this week’s bal
loting were Rick Barry, Pete Mar-
avich, former University of
Washington star Bob Houbregs,
and Bobby Wanzer, who played
with the Rochester Royals during
professional basketball’s early
days.
They will join the four teams
and 156 players, coaches and con
tributors already in the Hall of
Fame during May 5 induction
ceremonies.
Frazier, the playmaker and de
fensive star, is the fifth player
from the New York Knicks’ 1973
championship team, plus Coach
Red Holzman and President Ned
Irish, to be elected to the Hall of
Fame. Inducted earlier were
front-court stars Bill Bradley,
Dave DeBusschere, Willis Reed
and Jerry Lucas.
His teammate, Earl Monroe,
was among 11 persons selected by
a screening committee, but failed
to get the 18 votes needed for
election by the the 24-member
Honors Committee.
Frazier, who lives in his native
Atlanta, joined the Knicks in
1967 after playing college ball at
Division II Southern Illinois. He
was named to six all-star and
seven all-defensive teams during
his 13 years with the Knicks and
Cleveland. During the 1973
championship game he had 36
points, 19 assists and seven re
bounds.
Barry was named to league all-
star teams 10 times during a 14-
year professional career that in
cluded four years in the Ameri
can Basketball Association with
Oakland, Washington and New
York and 10 years in the National
Basketball Association with
Golden State and Houston.
Maravich was the nation’s top
collegiate scorer for three years at
Louisiana State, and still holds
the NCAA career scoring record
of 3,667 points in 83 games, and
points scored in one season, 1,381
in 1969, when he averaged 44.2
points a game.
He was also named to four all-
star teams during his 10-year pro
fessional career, which included
stints at Atlanta, New Orleans,
Utah and Boston, and led the
NBA in scoring in 1977.
Houbregs, a three-time All-
American, was the University of
Washington’s top gun in 1953,
when the Huskies finished third
in the NCAA tournament, scor
ing 49 points against Idaho, 45
, against Seattle and 42 against
Louisiana State. He played pro
ball for the Pistons, both in Fort
Wayne and Detroit, the Balti
more Bullets and briefly in Bos
ton and Milwaukee.
Before becoming general sales
manager for Converse Inc., Hou
bregs served as general manager
of the Seattle Supersonics from
1970-1973.
Wanzer, 66, played for the
Royals for 10 years prior to his re
tirement in 1957. In 1962, he was
named the first basketball coach
at St. John Fisher College in Ro
chester and has been there ever

Lady Aggies succumb
to SMU pressure 90-78
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M Lady Aggies
fell to 3-6 in the Southwest Con
ference after losing to the SMU
Mustangs 90-78 Thursday night
at Moody Coliseum in Dallas.
A&M Coach Lynn Hickey said
the pressure defense of the Mus
tangs caused many problems for
the struggling Lady Aggies.
“We couldn’t handle the
press,” Hickey said. “Our two
young guards made some mis
takes. And when you can’t see the
floor, that makes them (SMU)
even more effective.”
Forward Paula Crutcher led
A&M in scoring with 18 points,
while four other Lady Aggies
scored in double figures.
Forward Evelyn Sanders
g oured in 16; guard Rosalind
rown and guard Traci Thomas
each scored 11; and Veronda
Roundtree added 10 points.
Hickey said the Aggies were
plagued by the lack of rebound-
ing in the game.
The Lady Aggies return to G.
Rollie White Coliseum on Satur
day to take on the TCU Horned
Frogs.
Rockets slip by Warriors
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s
Akeem Olajuwon responded to the
loss of 7-4 forward Ralph Sampson
with 21 points, 11 rebounds and
nine blocked shots to lead the Rock
ets to a 120-110 NBA victory over
Golden State Thursday night.
Sampson suffered a knee injury in
Tuesday’s night’s loss to Denver and
underwent arthroscopic surgery
Thursday. He’ll miss at least six
weeks of the season.
The Rockets took the lead from
the opening basket and never trailed
in the game. They used a pair of 8-0
spurts in the third quarter and ex
panded a 68-55 halftime lead to 95-
77 at the start of the fourth quarter.
Olajuwon left the game with 8:55
to go after twisting his ankle under
the Warriors’ basket, but he re
turned with 5:27 left when Jim Pe
tersen drew his fifth foul.
Petersen, who started in Samp
son’s forward spot, finished with 12
points and Steve Harris had a sea
son-high 20 points. Houston’s Rod
ney McCray hit 10 first-quarter
points and Steve Harris came off the
bench to score 14 points in the first
half.
Chris Mullin led the Warriors
with 20 points and Sleepy Floyd
added 16.
Sampson may not miss year
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston for
ward Ralph Sampson underwent ar
throscopic surgery on a knee injury
Thursday and could rejoin the team
before the end of the season. Rock
ets officials said.
Team spokesman Jim Foley said
the surgery was performed in Char
lottesville, Va., by Dr. Frank McCue
to remove cartilage damaged in
Tuesday night’s 107-105 loss to
Denver.
The Rockets gave no timetable for
Sampson’s return but anticipate he’ll
return this season.
Sampson slipped on the Summit
floor in the first quarter of Tuesday’s
? ;ame while trying to get into de-
ensive position. He returned briefly
in the second quarter but had to be
helped from the court.
Sampson said Wednesday he
thought he’d be out for the season
after Rockets team doctor Charles
Baker recommended he choose an
operation that would have fused the
damaged cartilage, which would
have meant a much longer recupera
tion period than with the arthros
copic surgery.
Sunvold’s 25
paces Spurs
to victory
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jon
Sundvold scored 25 points to lead
the San Antonio Spurs to their sev- I
enth consecutive victory, 117-111'
over the Seattle SuperSonics in the ;
NBA on Thursday night.
San Antonio led by as many as 24 "
points in the third period, only to see ,
it cut to 111-109 with 2:25 left in the _
game.
Spurs reserve forward Mike;
Mitchell pulled down a rebound off
a missed shot by Seattle’s Tom
Chambers with 1:45 left and scored
at the 1:22 mark.
Mitchell scored 18 points for the
game after not playing in the last ;
five games.
San Antonio had seven players in
double figures, including all five
starters. The Spurs have not won ,
seven in a row since November 1981.
Seattle was led by forward Xavier!
McDaniel with 26 points and Mau-i,
rice Lucas with 22.
The Spurs led 70-51 at halftime as L
they dominated the boards in both,;
halves and held a 48-38 margin in
rebounds at the end of the game.
David Greenwood had his second *;
straight 18-rebound performance to !;
go with 20 points for San Antonio. >
“I’m very proud of Mitch for the j
way he handled the whole situation,” j
Spurs Coach Bob Weiss said, refer- j
ring to the forward’s five-game lay-
off. “Mitch has been really working,
hard. Give him a whole lot of credit. <
On Sundvold’s performance,
Weiss said, “Sundvold is really heady
and has been playing fantastic. He
really has turned into a good C
leader.”
The guard out of Missouri con-
nected on 11 of 17 from the floor. •
“Sundvold really had it going to- ;;
night,” Seattle Coach Bernie Bick- !
erstaff said. “He was throwing them
in off one leg.”
Greenwood said, “ We’ve faced a.:’
lot of adversity this season and the"
secret has been to keep playing hard*
and keep the adversity to a mini-!'
