Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, January 10, 1969 Ag Cagers Vs. Hogs In Ozarks Saturda By JOHN PLATZER It will be showdown time in the Ozarks Saturday as the Ag gies and Arkansas Razorbacks duel with the winner retaining partial possession of first place in the Southwest Conference cage race. Both the Aggies and the Hogs took opening-round victories Tuesday night to share the early conference lead with Baylor and Texas at 1-0. While A&M was disposing of Texas Tech in Col lege Station 85-84, .Arkansas was edging past the Rice Owls in Houston 67-62. Despite the win, the Aggies’ performance against Tech was disappointing in several areas as A&M lost 17 of an 18-point lead in the last seven minutes and committed a total of 17 turnovers. Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf de scribed the game as the “hardest fought come from ahead victory” his team has had in quite awhile. The Aggie head coach said that the Aggies would have to come up with a much better effort if they are to defeat the Razorbacks in the 2 p.m. Saturday feature. The Razorbacks, who return all five of their starters from a year ago, have reeled off seven straight victories. “One characteristic of Arkan sas every year is that you have got to beat them because they are not going to beat themselves,” Coach Metcalf said of the Duddy Waller coached Hogs.

In nine games so far he has averaged 46.3 points a game, compared to 43.8 the previous season, which set a major college mark. However, the 6-5 junior, at 180, ten pounds heavier than a year ago, has averaged only 37.1 field goal attempts a game as com pared to 39.3 last season. His total points of 417 put him well ahead of Calvin Murphy of Ni agara, who has 342 also in nine games for a 38.0 average. Rick Mount of Purdue, who has 350 in 11 games for a 31.8 average, 15 is tied for third with Spencer Haywood of Detroit, the sensation of the victorious United States basketball team at the recent Mexico City Olympics.

A&M has won their last three games while compiling a 6-4 sea son record but the Aggies have had a history of trouble against Arkansas in Fayetteville. The last time the Aggies de feated the Hogs on their home grounds was in 1965 as Arkansas has taken three straight from A&M in Fayetteville since then. The teams split their two games last season with Arkansas win ning in Fayetteville 75-70 and the Aggies prevailing at College Sta tion 71-67. berger (6-4), forward Robert Mc Kenzie (6-4) and center James Eldridge (6-5).

For underwater the tentacles of this cruel, cold monster may reach out a mile or more. Life for some folks is a succession of narrow escapes. But these are adventures we can do without. They don't prove us bold sailors. They simply prove us poor navigators. Frightened men sometimes turn to religion as a refuge when dangers—moral, spiritual and physical—loom too close for comfort. God does not fail us in crisis. But the every-day function of faith is to pilot men on a true course through the sea of life. The Church cannot sweep away ice bergs. It warns us of their whereabouts and helps us give them a wide berth. Copyright 1969 Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasbourg, Va.
