With some help from sophomore
guard Lynn Suber’s perfect free-
throw shooting down the stretch,
Shelby Metcalfs Aggies were able to
end a five-game losing streak with a
62-53 win over the Baylor Bears.
Suber went six for six from the
line in the last 32 seconds to ice
A&M’s first conference victory Sat
urday night before 3,512 at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
While Suber was hot from the
line, neither team was lighting it up

from the field. Both teams shot un
der 50 percent for the game.
The Aggies’ scoring was led by se
niors Doug Dennis and Donald
Thompson. Dennis led all scorers by
pouring in 17 points. Thompson,
scoreless in the first half, hit for 14
points in the second.
Metcalf shouldered the blame for
Thompson’s slow start.
Baylor was led offensively by Ju
lius Denton. He was a perfect five of
five from the line ending with 13 to
tal points. He completed his double
double by pulling down a game-high
11 rebounds. Freshman center Joey
Fatta also contributed a season-high
of 12 points.
The first half was a back and forth
affair with seven lead changes. The
Aggies shot ice-cold from outside.
Baylor had a more balanced at
tack led by guard Toby Christian’s
four outside jumpers.
Baylor led at the intermission 26-
25.
The Aggies came out in the sec
ond half attacking from all angles of
fensively. Thompson began the scor
ing with a layup off of an assist from
Suber. Baylor countered with a
layup by Brown. Then the Aggies
first run began.
Guard Tony Milton drove the
lane and hit a jumper from eight
feet. Doug Dennis hit a twelve-footer
from the baseline. Guard David Wil
liams hit twice, both times from the
baseline with jumpers from 10 and
12 feet. Thompson scored again
with a layup off of a rebound forcing
Baylor to call its first time out with
the Aggies leading 37-28 with 14:43
remaining.
After the timeout, Baylor closed
the lead to three
The teams traded buckets for al
most four minutes until the Aggies
began another six-point run culmi
nating with a Thompson steal and
layin. That bumped their lead up to
nine, 49-40.
After a Baylor timeout, the Bears
countered with a run of their own,
scoring seven straight points.
An exchange of buckets followed
before A&M called timeout at 1:28
with the Aggies leading 54-51.
Freddie Ricks scored for A&M
and Melvin Hunt scored for Baylor
to bring the score to 56-53.
Suber then took over for the Ag
gies, pumping in six consecutive free
throws to wrap-up the win for A&M.

Dena Russo scored 19 points to
lead Texas A&M to a 94-47 victory
over Baylor in Southwest Confer
ence women’s basketball action Sat
urday.
A&M, 11-3 on the season and 3-0
in SWC play, jumped out to a 7-2 ad
vantage to begin the game and led
45-26 at the half.
LaNita Luckey led Baylor with 16
points as the Bears dropped to 3-11
on the year and 1-3 in conference
play.
A&M showed no letdown in their
seventh consecutive victory follow
ing an upset win over Louisiana
State last Tuesday.
The 67-64 win over LSU was one
of the biggest in Lady Aggie history
and capped a successful holiday sea
son which saw Head Coach Lynn
Hickey’s team capture one tourna
ment title in overcoming a slow start
to the season.
The Lady Aggie defense held
Maggie Stinnett to just nine points
for the game, the first time she has
failed to score in double digits dur
ing her career at Baylor.
A&M won the rebound battle 55-
to-29 for the contest and shot 50
percent from the field to Baylor’s 34
percent.
A 20-2 run by the Lady Aggies
midway through the second half
gave them a 76-36 lead with 10 min
utes left.
The Lady Aggies, who went 7-1
over the Christmas break, seem to
have developed into an SWC power.
A&M began the holidays with a
road game against Northwestern
State of Louisiana in Natchitoches,
La., on December 17.
A&M fell 87-83 in what would be
their last loss of 1988.
The Lady Aggies rebounded two
nights later by whipping Montana
State at home by a score of 64-50.
Donna Roper led the A&M atack
with 21 points and center Lisa Jor
don chipped in with 13 rebounds.
The Lady Aggies took a ten-day
break after the victory and returned
to action December 29 at the San
Jose State Invitational in San Jose,
California.
Jordon dominated both games of
the tournament in leading the Lady
Aggies to the title as she collected 1 7
points and 13 rebounds in the open
ing-round win over San Francisco.
Jordon followed that effort with a
19-point, 14-rebound performance
in the championship game against
Central Michigan.
A&M won 88-64 as Jordon and
Roper were named to the All-Tour
nament team.
A&M overcame a halftime deficit
with a 51-point offensive show in the
final half.
Jordon passed Michell Tatum to
become A&M’s all-time leading re
bounder in the game.
The Lady Aggies returned home
January 3 to G. Rollie White Col
iseum to open SWC play against
Texas Christian and racked up a 84-
72 win.
Roper led A&M with 19 points
and Russo added 18.
A&M picked up its first road win
of the season Jan. 5 with an 88-87
overtime victory in Dallas.
Freshman LaTanya Irving led the
attack this time by scoring 22 points,
six in the overtime period.
Jordon added 17 rebounds as
A&M moved to 2-0 in SWC play
heading into the LSU game.
“SMU has really been a tough
game for us the last couple of years,”
Hickey said.
A&M had already equalled the
win total of two years ago (nine wins)
prior to the LSU upset. That shows
how far the program has come un
der Hickey’s guidance.
Slocum adds two new coaches to staff
From Staff and Wire Reports
Texas A&M head football coach R.C.
Slocum announced last week the ap
pointment of UCLA co-defensive coor
dinator Tom Hayes and Oregon offen
sive coordinator Bob Toledo as assistant
coaches for the A&M program.
Toledo will serve as offensive coordi
nator and quarterbacks coach while
Hayes will serve as an assistant head
coach and secondary coach. Slocum said
that current A&M outside linebackers
coach Bob Davie will serve as defensive
coordinator.
Slocum also said the vacant offensive
line coaching position would be filled in
the near future.
“The head football coach’s future and
success is directly related to the quality
of his assistant coaches,” Slocum said.
“I’m pleased these excellent coaches
have agreed to join the group of out
standing young men already on my
staff.”
The forty-year-old Hayes served on
Terry Donahue’s staff for nine years, the
last seven as co-defensive coordinator.
During this time, UCLA intercepted 124
passes and led the country in rushing de
fense in 1985.
“Tom is one of the most outstanding
football coaches in the country,” Slocum
said. “His background in a program such
as UCLA will be vital as we start our
program at A&M. I’ve got great respect
for his knowledge of the game as well as
his overall knowledge of college football
programs.”
Hayes worked previously as a de
fensive coordinator at Cal State-Ful-
lerton before coming to UCLA, and in
his only season there in 1979 the Titans
led the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference
years as offensive coordinator and quar
terbacks coach.
During his stay at Oregon, Toledo
coached quarterbacks Chris Miller, a
first-round NFL draft choice, and Bill
Musgrave, the nation’s top freshman
passer in 1987.
“Bob has one of the most outstanding
offensive minds in football today and is a
fine quarterbacks coach,” Slocum said.
Slocum said the movement of Bob Davie
from outside linebackers coach to de
fensive coordinator would not cause any
problems in terms of transition.
“Bob has worked very close with me
the last four years and he’s played a big
role in our defense,” Slocum said. “I’m
excited about him taking over because he
knows and understands our defensive
philosophy. We won’t miss a lick with
him as our defensive coordinator.”

in total defense after ranking last the pre
vious year.
Toledo got his first college position in
1973 as an assistant at California-River-
side.
In 1974 he assumed head coaching du
ties there, posting a two-year record of
15-6 while winning two California Col
legiate Athletic Association champion
ships.
Toledo joined a University of South
ern California staff under head coach
John Robinson in 1976 and was made a
secondary coach. Toledo stayed at USC
for three years before assuming the head
coaching job at Pacific in 1979.
In his four years at Pacific, Toledo’s
teams registered victories against Iowa
State, Washington State, South Carolina
and Hawaii.
Toledo was named assistant head
coach at Oregon in 1987 after serving six
