LOUPOT'S
5,000 Aggies Can’t Be Wrong
At The North Gate VI 6-6312
Despite the loss of all of last
year’s height and the departure
of three of the top four scorers,
A&M’s new head coach presents
an optimistic outlook for the 19-
63-64 basketball season.
Shelby Metcalf, elevated from
Aggie frosh coach to succeed Bob
Rogers when the latter resigned
last spring, says: “I suppose all
basketball coaches are optimistic
at this stage of the season. I
think we’ll have a better basket
ball club at A&M this season but
we still may not have as good a
record.” Last season the Aggies
tied Rice for second place in the
SWC with a 9-5 league mark.
THE MAIN reason for Met
calf’s early optimism is the pres
ence of 6-2 senior guard Bennie
Lennox, the SWC “Player of the
Year” last season and the lea
gue’s co-scoring champion. He and
Rice’s Ken Rhine tied -with a 25.1
average for 14 games. “I feel
that Lenox is the finest basketball
player in the Southwest and is a
bonafide All-America candidate,”
Metcalf declared.
The Aggies return six of 11
lettermen but only one true start
er in Lenox. The key to the
Aggies success this year depends
on three talented sophomores and
two junior college transfers.
THE LETTERMEN, in addition
to Lenox, are seniors Cliff Hank
ins and Bill Robinette and juniors
Cecil Ferguson, Paul Timmins and
Lynn Merritt. Robinette and Tim
mins are the most experienced of
those five. Ferguson is the squad’s
top defensive hand.
As practice opened here Tues
day, Metcalf said the Aggies would
retain the aggressive defensive
tactics employed under Rogers arid
that the offense would be accel
erated.
Craig Wants Back
Starting Line Slot
How does a senior letterman feel
after a sophomore beats him out
of his starting position ?
Determined. That’s how James
Craig, 6-4, 213-pound tackle for
the Aggies feels. Sophomore Bill
Ward of Austin moved ahead of
him at right tackle and started the
Houston game last Saturday.
“I SLOWED down and Bill
speeded up so he got the starting
nod. I’m going to give him a run
for his money. I want that start
ing position back,” Craig declared.
Both alternated at the position
against Houston and there wasn’t
a lot of difference in their per
formances.
Craig was honorable mention for
all-state in his senior year at Jasp
er high school. He also won the
most valuable player award his
senior year and was all-district
two years.
WHILE IN high school, playing
tackle, he scored several touch
downs and extra points with the
“tackle eligible” pass play.
Craig’s parents are Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Craig of Jasper. He has
four brothers, Dale, Chris, Olen
and Kenneth. Dale and Chris also
are attending A&M.
AGGIE GUARD Mike Swan says
Craig “is real aggressive and gives
100 per cent all the time.”
Halfback Mike Pitman says, “I
like to play behind Craig on de
fense. I know that I can depend
on him to be at the right place
at the right time.”
Craig’s idea of the “right place
at the right time” right now is
the right tackle slot on the first
team. He’s gonna fight for that.
ENG/NEERS-SCIENTISTS HEAR
The three talented sophomores
who could give their more experi
enced mates hot battles for start
ing positions are John Beasley,
6-8, of Kildare; Dick Stringfel-
low, 6-4, of Paris and Tim Tim
merman, 6-7, of Houston Austin.
Timmerman was a red shirt last
year while Beasley and Stringfel-
low made the all-SWC frosh team.
Beasley ranks right behind Lenox
as the squad’s best shooter.
THE TWO JUNIOR college
transfers, both from Lon Morris,
are Bill Gasway, 6-6, of Burke-
ville and Ken Norman, 6-6, of Dal
las Samuel. They were key cogs
in great clubs at Lon Morris the
past two years. In their freshman
season Lon Morris went to the na
tional JC tourney finals and last
year the club won 25 games.
“Outside of Lenox, there will be
a continual scramble for starting
berths and the lineup may change,
game-by-game, all season,” Met
calf predicts. “Timmins and Ro
binette have playing experience
to go along with Lenox and we’ll
have more balanced depth this
year. We’ll have eight or nine
boys of fairly equal ability and
will be able to substitute more
freely without weakening our
team.”
Top losses from last year’s
squad were Jerry Windham, Lee
Walker and Gerald Woodard, the
squad’s second, third and fourth
leading scorers and Lewis Qualls,
the 7-0 rebounder. Windham was
6-7 and Walker 6-8, so the height
is gone.
Metcalf, a fast guy with a quip,
says he has two pair of size 14
shoes and one pair of size 17 shoes
waiting to be filled. “It would
help if the boys who fill them
are more than six feet tall.”

FROM THE
SideiineA
By JIM BUTLER
Last Saturday (known to football predictors as “Black
Saturday" and a disaster comparable only to the stock market
crash, the fall of the Roman Empire and the enlistment of
Elizabeth Taylor in the Peace Corps) was enoug-h to make
the most hard-hearted bookie join the Foreign Legion,
Form charts have now become as popular as Joseph
Valachi with the Cosa Nostra.
So, with the point spreads on the decline and in honor
of all the prognosticators who have turned into gibbering
idiots, we humbly dedicate this week’s predictions to Richard
Nixon, the Edsel and Joe Don Looney.
“Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble
in the wabes. All mimsy were the borogoves and the
momeraths outgrabe ..."
Tulane 2, Mississippi 0: The Green Wave returns to
the glory of its undefeated season in 1900.
Wake Forest 2, Army 0: With all the bookies in its
ranks, the Cadets don’t stand a chance.
Tennessee 2, Alabama 0: Mallon Faircloth, the Volun
teers’ “Disappointment of the Year" in ’62, returns to his
all-America form.
Kansas 2, Oklahoma 0: Looney-less Sooners are all at
the polls voting for Senator Wilkinson and forfeit the game.
Oklahoma St. 2, Missouri 0: The downtrodden Cowboys
rise up against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them.
Vanderbilt 2, Florida 0: The Commodores and Gators
put on a tremendous offensive show unfortunately marred
by offsetting penalties.
All seriousness aside, the Southwest Conference should
run pretty true to form.
Texas Tech 2, Baylor 0: Don Trull gets a kink in his
arm calling the flip of the coin and throws every pass into
the stands.
SMU 2, Rice 0: Hi Yo Pefunie, away, to the Cotton
Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Arkansas 2, Texas 0: “We were No. 1!" “We were
No. 1!”
A&M 2, TCU 0: Scoring is determined by the number
of Horned Frogs each team has in its possession at game
time.

Our object in making the above forecasts is to support
an assertion that has been brought to the fore by two of
the most successful football coaches in the business—Darrell
Royal of Texas and Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma. These
two, in their ramblings among the upper echelons of foot
ball’s elite, have recently revived criticism of grid forecasts
and particularly the selection of a “Top 10."
In these days of an abundance of good coaches and
players, football predictions are barely more than guess’es
and in the majority of cases not even educated guesses.
And to say that one team can not be beaten by any one
of the more than 500 other teams is like picking the Yankees
to go undefeated. There are just too many unknown factors.
