Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, March 10, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Great Year Ends For Solemn Gagers By MAYNARD ROGERS Battalion Ass’t Sports Editor DALLAS — Like the quiet and still after the battle, so was the A&M dressing room in SMU Coli seum after the Texas Western NCAA midwest regional playoff game which the Aggies lost 68-62 in Dallas Monday night. The players were dejected, and solemnly took the words of con solation and congratulations from the visitors with the feeling of the runner who led the race all the way but got caught at the finish. WORDS CAME hard and chop py from the Aggie team that startled the crowd of 8,500 with a never-say-die effort to the final buzzer. Miners ’’Coach Gives Little Credit To Ags By JOHN WRIGHT Battalion News Editor DALLAS—Texas Western Coach Don Haskins gave the Aggies little credit for playing well, but instead blamed the poor play of his Miners. “A&M has a good ball club, but we did a lot of things bad. Of fensively they (A&M) were just being cleared off the floor. The first half we had ragged ball handling and our defense was hor rible. Bill Robinette, closing out a great career and season for the Maroon said, “I thought we had a great year: We appreciate everything the Corps did to keep our spirit up.” Robinette and another Aggie senior, Bennie Lenox, shook hands in Maroon basketball uniforms for the last time. “It’s been wonderful,” echoed to each other. they KEN NORMAN, who kept the Aggies in the game all the way sat dejectedly on a bench, and spoke in tones barely audible through the din. “We had a great season, but it’s hard to lose one like ,that. Especially when you’re leading at the half.” Jim Barnes was the man on the court against the Aggies that night. More than one A&M player said so. “Big Barnes was too much,” jun ior guard Paul Timmins said. “I didn’t think one man could beat us, but he did. He was plenty tough.” ONE AGGIE who has two more years for the Maroon, John Rey nolds, looked ahead with all the enthusiasm he showed on the court all season. “We wanted to move Lenox from the side into the middle but we couldn’t do it until the second half,” Haskins concluded. Jim Barnesfalias the Unjolly Brown Giant) saw fit to ignore the Aggies who came dangerously close to sending Western south instead of north. “This was one of our worst games of the season. But we had a lot of sophomores and they probably had some butterflies.” Texas Western plays Kansas State in Wichita Friday night in the ifCAA Midwest Regional Tour- namenf. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service We Service All Foreign Cars 422 Texas Ave. TA 2-451 “We’ll get them next year, if everything goes right. . . even the next two years. That Barnes, I didn’t know one man could do all that.” Sophomore John Beasley, who did more to stop Barnes than any one on the court, stopped a mo ment to sign a program for a small boy, and then said, as he looked ahead, “I think we’ll have a good team. We’re going to go, and I don’t see anything to stop us.” COACH SHELBY Metcalf, who guided A&M to its first Southwest Conference outright basketball ti tle in 41 years in his freshman coaching season, had words of praise for the Aggies. “I was real pleased with the sea son. I would take one like it every year. It was real enjoyable. “I worked with the finest group of young men any coach could be associated with. Oh, next year we’ll miss Bennie and Bill, you just can’t replace boys like them,” the tired Aggie Mentor ended. Bill Gasway, who has another year to look forward, put on his tie and said, “We’ll miss Lenox and Robinette. But we slipped in this year, and we can do it again.” Ferreri’s Triangle Restaurant Try Our New SECRETARY SPECIAL Monday Thru Friday The SECRETARY SPECIAL is a quick, low calorie meal which gives you time to shop during your noon hour.
