THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, Februai’y 19, 1968
Nelson, Roberts
Lead Track Effort
Sophomore Ted Nelson and
junior Danny Roberts led the Aggie
track efforts in the north for
second weekend in a row Friday
night, with Nelson winning another
special 500-yard run and Roberts
lobbing a 57-0 first-place shot put.
At 59 flat Nelson was one second
off the time he had in Fort Worth
week before last. He again bested
Olympians Eddie Southern and
Chris Cushman.
The big surprise was a second-
place effort by Rice’s freshman
speedster, Jimmy Ellington.
The Dallas Invitational Indoor
Track Meet added another record,
as it did last year, when he set
the record at 55-8%. Second-place
in the shot went to Houston’s
Robert Mario, who tossed the
steel ball 54-9. Baylor’s Jim Lan
caster was third at 53-3Va.
Other Aggies to score in the
meet were freshmen Gene West
moreland and Don Kooser.
Westmoreland took second be
hind Socrates Bagiackas of East
Texas State in the 600-yard run.
The winning time was 1:15.2.
Kooser ran unattached in the
60-yard hurdles and copped a
fourth place with 0:07.7.
SMU’s John Roderick, a flashy
freshman, was first in the 60-yard
hurdles and the 60-yard dash,
where he set a record with a
6.2 effort.
Fish Use Old-Fashioned Stall
To Outlast Cardinals, 60-55
Although their usual point-pro
duction seemed to be on the rusty
side, Shelby Metcalf’s Fish basket-
bailers ptit on the old-fashioned
stall Saturday night and carved
out a 60-55 win over Henderson
County Junior College in G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
After leading by as much as 16
points more than once in the first
half, the Fish seemed to cool down
considerable. Henderson County,
sparked by Terry Priest, closed
the gap to five points near the end

but the Cardinals couldn’t break
through the effective stall for fur
ther success.
The Fish missed John Reynolds,
consistent re bo under, who was rest
ing up from an ankle injury suf
fered in Fort Worth last week.
John Beasley was off 1 his usual
form and had only seven points.
Joe Roberts, Dicky Stringfellow
and Billy Atkinson did most of the
offensive chores for A&M, hitting
14, 12 and 10, respectively. . Priest
was leading scorer for the Cards
with 15. His teammate, Eddie Tin-
ney, followed with 10.
The Fish out rebounded Hender
son County, 45-38. Stringfellow
took 12 off the boards to be at
least three ahead of anyone on
either squad.
Lenox lies itecord.

The all-time Aggie eager’s re
cord of 37 points in one ball game
was matched by junior Bennie Le
nox Saturday night as the Cadets
won a thriller from the Arkansas
Razorbacks, 80-78.
Broussard set the record against
the same team in 1961 and equaled
it against Texas later in the sea
son.
A fair crowd of 4,000 saw the
most exciting game of the current
campaign as the score was tied
14 times and the lead juggled 15
times.
After an even start, the Farmers
took the lead on a hook shot by
Lee Walker that broke a 14-14
deadlock. The Aggies built the
margin to 11 before the Hogs got
back in the game and cut the bulge
to six points, 45-39, at halftime.
Arkansas took charge after in
termission and went ahead on a
free throw by Tommy Boyer mid
way through the period.
The Hogs built their lead to six
points but saw it dwindle before
the hot shooting of Lenox tied
the score with 2:45 showing on the
clock.
Lenox finally nailed the lid on
it with a pair of charity tosses,
his 16th and 17th in as many
tries, with nine seconds left.
Walker scored 18 points before
fouling out with a little over
seven minutes left and Jerry Wind
ham pulled down 14 rebounds to
contribute to the win.
Boyer scored 27 to lead the
Hogs. Jimmy Wilson netted 13
for runner-up honors.

Do-or-Die Game Is Here;
Cadets Face Horns Tonight
The do-or-die game of the year

wise and tradition-wise, comes
Tuesday night in Austin as the
Texas Longhorns entertain the
Cadets in Gregory Gym.

Winter Sports Banquet Honors
Gridders, Cross Countrymen
A & M’s Athletic Department
treated a capacity crowd in Sbisa
dining hall Friday night. ?t was
the annual winter sports banquet,
held in honor of the SWC cham
pion cross-country squad and the
1962 varsity and freshmen foot
ball teams.
Seven awards were given to out
standing gridders. One of these,
a surprise, was given to Mike
Clark, dead-eye place kicker—his
shoe in bronze.
The Bert Pfaff Award for the
best blocker went to co-captain
Jerry Hopkins. Big Ray Kubala,
his running mate at center, won
the A. M. Waldrop Award for best
defensive lineman. Odessa tackle
Melvin Simmons, the soph who
started every game last fall, was
given the W. T. Doherty Rookie
Player Award.
Quarterback Jim Keller won the
O. T. Hotchkiss Senior Player
award for the highest academic
average. Ken Kipp was given the
Herb Smith Award for outstand
ing little man. A new award, giv
en by the Bryan-College Station
Quarterback Club for the most im
proved player of the year, went to
defensive end Guy Dillon.
The Rev. Bob Richards, former
Olympic champion, was the main
speaker at the fete. Guests were
also entertained by the Singing
Cadets, inch-thick steaks and a
skit by the senior gridders.
Netters Drop Pair
During Weekend
A&M’s tennis team came up
with a disappointing first week
end. Their travels took them to
Houston on Friday, where they
dropped a 5-2 match to the U. of
H. In Beaumont on Saturday, the
Lamar Tech Cardinals dealt out a
similar 5-2 defeat.
At Houston, the Ags won two
and lost three singles matches.
They lost both doubles matches.
A Fish, Robert Nichols, won the
only frosh match of the day over
Houston’s Richard Nesmith.
Hapless Ricky Williams lost
both days for the Ags, but the rest
all gol? at least a taste of singles
victory as Doug Sassman and Ray
Salazar were winners on Saturday
and Richard Barker and Carrol
Kell beat their Friday opponents.

Saturday night, coupled with Rice’s
loss to SMU, moved the Aggies
into second place tie with the Owls,
three games behind Texas.
The Steers have yet to play
Rice in Houston and SMU in Dal
las, so a win by the Farmers could
pave the way for a tie with Texas
for the conference title.
Coach Bob Rogers takes the
SWC’s leading scorer point-wise,
Bennie Lenox, and the conference’s
second leading rebounder, Jerry
Windham, to Austin in an attempt
to upset the Longhorns.
Lenox is averaging 21.9 points
per game for the season and 22.3
in conference play. Windham has
grabbed off 10.7 rebounds per game
to lead the Cadets in that depart
ment.
Windham will be starting at
a forward position and Lenox will
be at a guard slot. Rounding out
the starting five will be Paul Tim
mins at guard, Gerald Woodard at
forward and Lee Walker at center.
Texas will probably go with the
same five that started against the
Aggies here—Jimmy Gilbert and
Jimmy Puryear at guards, Larry
Franks and Joe Fisher at forwards
and Mike Humphrey at center.
Tip-off time is slated for 8 p.m.
The A&M Fish will play the Short
horns in the 6 p.m. prelim.

Result: All 3-speed manual
transmissions in
Ford-built cars with V-8’s
now are fully synchronized
in each forward gear
To get more "go" in low, Ford engineers
were asked to upgrade the conventional
3-speed transmission to give drivers
more control in all three forward gears—
to make "low" a driving gear—and they
tackled the problem imaginatively.
jeH
mmZ:.
SI
Their achievement, another Ford First,
is the only U.S. 3-speed manual trans
mission with all three forward gears
fully synchronized! No need now to come
to a complete stop when you shift into
low—and no clashing gears! It lets you
keep more torque on tap for negotiating
sharp turns and steep grades. It makes
driving more flexible, more pleasurable.
Another assignment completed and
another example of how engineering
leadership at Ford provides fresh ideas
for the American Road.
