FROM THE
Sideli
ined
By JIM BUTLER
Some people get their kicks throwing peanuts at winos.
The Batt sports staff gets theirs from reading columns by
other conference sports editors, and the feeling is probably
mutual.
John Durham took over the top slot for the funniest
with his Jan. 29 column in The Rice Thresher. The column
came out on the Wednesday preceding A&M’s visit to
Houston last Saturday.
Durham’s observations: “Admittedly the Aggies are
inhuman in some aspects, but they are not superhuman—
which they would have to be to win in Dallas, Austin, and
Houston in the first round.”
A&M won, 74-70. But in spite of Durham’s predictions,
phone booths around Aggieland haven’t been spouting Aggies
in red and blue uniforms with a big “S” on the chest and a
short, flowing cape.
Durham does make one forecast that Aggies would
hopefully endorse. He sees the Southwest Conference basket
ball derby being narrowed down to Rice, SMU and A&M.
The Cadets have already measured the Owls and Ponies on
the enemy’s court.
What happened to Texas Tech?
But nobody can be all bad and Durham shows his
shrewdness in his evaluation of Coach Shelby Metcalf’s crew.
“The main thing about the Aggies is that they seem
to be hustle personified. They have the benefit of sopho
mores’ attitude without sophomorish mistakes.”
With A&M’s 83-58 win over Baylor Tuesday night, this
truly seems to be a great part of the Aggie success story
so far.
Tim Timmerman has turned from a tall, gawky fresh
man into a talented ball-handler and an accurate shot.
Timmerman was instrumental in A&M’s crucial win over
Rice and started against Baylor as a result of his fine play.
John Beasley, straight off the Fish team, stepped into
the center spot like he had ordered it custom made. Beasley
scored 22 points against Rice for scoring honors.
The third soph, Dick Stringfellow, has teamed with
junior Paul Timmins and senior Bennie Lenox to give the
Cadets the best backcourt team in the conference. His
aggressive defensive play sparked the Aggies in their second
half rally that beat Baylor.

Arnie Palmer Defends Titk
In Phoenix Golf Classic
High Jumping Sophomore
John Beasley stretches to tip one in against Baylor Tuesday
night. The Aggies won 83-58.
By JACK STEVENSON
Associated Press Sports Writer
PHOENIX, Ariz. UP) — Golf’s
Big Three was back together
again Wednesday as South Afri
ca’s Gary Player arrived on the
eve of the $50,000 Phoenix Open
Tournament.
With Arnold Palmer seeking to
win this title a fourth straight
year and Jack Nicklaus figuring
he should have his own game
back in top shape, the three could
dominate the event.
JERRY STEELSMITH of Glen
dale, Calif., served notice this may
not necessarily be true as he
sizzled eight-under-par 63 in the
pro-amateur prelude.
He and his pro-am team post
ed a best-ball 54.
“I’ve been active in tourna
ments in South Africa and won
the Australian Open,” Player said
when asked if he’d been resting.
“I DIDN’T HAVE any rest at
all,” he said, “I’ve been active all
the time.”
He won four of the seven tour
naments in which he played in
his homeland.
Ariving Tuesday night, Play
er found he was battling time
as well as the Phoenix Country
Club course.
THERE IS A 10-hour time dif
ferential and if he had stayed
home he would have been going
to bed instead of just starting to
play golf in noon sunshine.
Player passed up the California
tournaments awaiting the birth
of his fourth child at Johannes
burg.
“It was a little girl and now
we have two girls and two boys,”
he said.
LAST YEAR, Player competed
in 22 tournaments on the PGA
tour and won $1,000 or more it
21 of them, including a seconi
place finish at Phoenix. He wa,
just one stroke behind Palmer.
All told, he collected $55,455 it
those 22 events.
FOLLOWING Wednesday’s prc-
am prelude, 150 pros tee off it
the 72-hole tournament over tie
6,765-yard, par-35-36-71 Country
Club course.
Palmer won the tournament
two 69s in 1962, the last tine
the course was used for the open
A year ago at the Arizona Coun
try Club, Arnie won with 273.
