Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, December 1, 1964 THE BATTALION Roimdballers Open Season Tonight Memphis State Challenges SWC Champs MEMPHIS—The Aggie Basket ball team opens its 1964-65 season Tuesday night here against the Tigers of Memphis State. The defending Southwest Con ference Champions journey to Hat tiesburg to play Southern Mis sissippi Thursday night. A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf will probably start an all-letterman five against the Tigers. A likely John Beasley at center, Dickie Stringfellow and Paul Timmins at guards and Ken Norman and Bill Gasway at the forward slots. Pollsters have in general placed the Cadets third or fourth in the SWC in pre-season guess-work Tex as Tech is the consensus favorite to take the title. The biggest question mark sur rounding the Maroons is finding a replacement for Bennie Lenox. The departed sharpshooter holds virtually every Aggie scoring rec ord. A&M has to prove that it can score without the help of the Clear Creek bomber. The most likely heir to Lenox's scoring leader ship is Beasley. The 6’ 9” junior possesses a deadly jump shot from anywhere on the court. He was voted Sopho- more-of-the-Year in the conference last year by several selectors. Captain of the squad is Tim mons, a battle-tested senior. He teams with Stringfellow to provide the Ags with sure ball handling and sharp shooting. These two will compose the scrappiest backcourt combo in the league. Redshirt sophomore Dick Rector and transfer Eddie Dominguez will substitute for these two. Tim Timmerman will sub in for both forward and center, depending on who goes out. This game will be a challenge to the veteran Aggies. Memphis State is annually a national power and plays in the National Inter collegiate Tournament almost regu larly. Metcalf terms them a running team, saying, “They’ll probably have the best fast break we’ll see all year.” The Tigers, always tough at home, will be extra rugged for this encounter. They will be de dicating a new fieldhouse, and 13,000 fans are expected to fill it. KORA is scheduled to broadcast the contest, starting at 8:30 p.m. College Station time.

(AP Wirephoto) Cadet Defense Collapses, 26 - 7 By LANI PRESSWOOD For a half the Aggies played Texas even. For three-quarters it was anybody’s ball game. But when the final gun sounded the Steers had prevailed for the eighth straight year—26-7. 65,000 sun - drenched fans viewed the Thanksgiving Day clash in Austin’s Memorial Sta dium. They saw a fierce, hard-hitting game typical of this ancient riv alry. It was a closer contest than the scoreboard margin would seem to indicate. The heavily underdog Cadets thoroughly dominated the first half of play. The score at in termission was 7-7, but the statis tics favored the Aggies in vir tually every department. The Longhorns drew first blood six minutes deep in the first period. Stubby quarterback Mar vin Kristynik wedged a yard over the left side of his line for the score. The six-pointer was set up by a 24-yard pass interference call which put Texas on the A&M one. The Aggies threatened to tie the score moments later, but half back Jim Stabler’s pass from the six-yard line was picked off in the end zone by linebacker Tom my Nobis. A&M did strike pay dirt mid way of the second period after an 89-yard sustained drive which ate up eight minutes and 35 seconds. Sophomore field general Eddie McKaughan engineered the 18- play march. Big Joe Weiss churned two yards for the touchdown. The last two quarters belonged to Texas. Late in the thrid stanza the Steers accepted a two- point gigt from the Ags. From the 23, Tom Murrah centered the ball over punter Phil Scoggin’s head into the end zone. Scoggin retrieved the ball, but the play resulted in a safety for Texas. Two minutes later David Con way booted a 42-yard field goal to hike the margin to 12-7. That’s how matters stood until Texas rammed across two tallies in the last two minutes and 24 seconds of play. One came on a two-yard scamper by Hix Green, the other on a 10-yard pass from Jim Hud son to Garry Brown. A faulty scoreboard clock made it impossible to tell when the last touchdown was registered. How ever, after Conway’s successful conversion, the officials signaled that the game had ended. The Cadets battled right down to the wire in this one, as they have done all year. Thus ends a season of heartbreak and frus tration for a team which deserved a better fate. The verdict left Coach Hank Foldberg’s charges with a final season record of 1-9. The Orange Bowl-bound Longhorns finished the campaign with a 9-1 record.
