Aggies Take Opener
The Aggie cagers blew an 11
point halftime lead and then
scrambled back to edge a tough
University of Houston team, 61-58,
in G. Rollie White Coliseum Thurs
day night.
The young A&M team, picked
by many to finish in the second
division of the Southwest Confer
ence, surprised 3600 fans by play
ing almost errorless ball for the
first 20 minutes and holding a 38-
27 margin at the midway break.
TREMENDOUS REBOUND-
ING, which at gametime was the
biggest question mark for Coach
Shelby Metcalf’s Cadets, made the
difference as the Aggies cleared
the boards 54 times to 31 for the
Cougars.
The most pleasant surprise was
big sophomore John Beasley who
kept A&M in the contest with his
outstanding defensive maneuvers
and hot shooting. The 6-8 center
showed remarkable agility in snag
ging 11 rebounds, blocking several
UH shots and stealing the ball
twice. Beasley also netted 15
points to share scoring honors with
senior sharpshooter Bennie Lenox.
A NEW FACE in the Aggie
lineup, junior college transfer Bill
Gasway, drew praise from Metcalf
for his fine backboard play. Gas
way led both teams with 12 re
bounds including several in the
closing minutes' when A&M was
guarding a slim lead.
The Aggies never trailed in post
ing their first win of the young
season against no defeats. Hous
ton suffered its second loss with
out a win.
TIM TIMMERMAN, another big
man for the Farmers, opened the
scoring with a layup followed by
a free throw and jump shot by
Lenox to give the Ags a 5-2 edge.
They steadily controlled the ball
and built their margin to 12 points
in the closing minutes of the first
half.
Houston closed the margin to
seven, but two quick baskets by
Beasley put the halftime margin
i -t -* • i' 1
at 11.
Three minutes deep in the sec
ond half, Lynn Merritt drilled a
short jump shot to give the Aggies
their biggest lead—14 points.
THEN THE COUGARS started
chipping away and with six min
utes left the score was knotted,
53-53.
Merritt’s eight-foot jump shot
gave the lead back to A&M but
UH’s, Joe Hamood, high scorer for
the Cougars with 14 points, netted
a jumper to tie it up again.
The clock read 3:25 when UH’s
Chet Oliver dropped in a short
jumper fora 59-58 Cadet lead.
Beasley was fouled by Jim Jones
and sank both charity tosses to
make the score 61-58.
WITH 1:44 REMAINING, Gas
way rebounded a missed Cougar
shot and the Cadets 'stalled for
over a minute. Lenox was called
for charging with 33 seconds left.
Houston called time out.
Play started again; a Courgar
shot; and Casway came down with
the ball and the Aggie victory.
Lon Morris Wins Fourth;
Smith Leads Fish Scoring
A highly regarded Lon Morris
basketball squad continued to live
up to pre-season expectations as
they eked out a hard fought 69-66
victory over the A&M freshmen
Thursday night at G. Rollie White.
J. C. Smith, who led the Aggie
scoring parade with 21 points,
opened the scoring with his first of
eight field goals, giving the Fish
a 2-0 lead which they were to ex
tend to 7-0 before the visitors
dented the scoreboard.
Curley Lenox, the sharp shoot
ing ace from Clear Creek, dumped
in five field goals and eight free
throws for a total of 18 points.
Reggie Gilbreath was the third
leading scorer for the Fish with
13 points.
Wayne Ballard got the visitors
on the scoreboard with a fine jump
shot. Teammates Dale Dotson and
Eddie Dominguez followed with a
pair of two-pointers, narrowing
the Fish lead to 7-6.
Dominguez, a player from bas
ketball power Thomas Jefferson of
Dallas, tied the ball game at eiji
all when he dropped in twofi
throws. Seconds later the pi
was tied at 10-10 when Ballari;
Lon Morris ahead for the i
time, 12-10.
