FROM THE
ineA
By BOB SPIVEY
Journalism students are a funny lot. Here at A&M
there is no difference. We of The Battalion wait eagerly
to read our rival Southwest Conference publications—and
in some cases laugh at the efforts of some of our alleged
“elite” rival journalists.
Last week it was my displeasure to pick up a copy of
The Daily Texan. Turning to the sports section, my eyes
fell to the self-centered ramblings of a writer possessed with
despotic illusions of Texas grandeur.
In the Nov. 26 issue of the Texan, Paul Burka wrote
an article entitled “Tradition or Tedium.” In this article
he asserted that the Ag-Longhorn game was no longer
a tradition but just another game in which the mighty
Longhorns roll over their hapless opposition.
No one team can dominate the Southwest Conference
in any sport. Texas under Darrell Royal has produced some
fine teams. True, Texas has outscored A&M in the Turkey
Day Classic more times than A&M has outscored Texas but
every year A&M comes back and gives Texas some of the
biggest scares possible. Last year Texas was thoroughly
outplayed by an underdog Aggie team.
Does this not sound like a typically traditional game,
Mr. Burka?
In his ranting, Mr. Burka also said that “The Corps,
spirit. Twelfth Man and such don’t play a major role
in college life any more, nor in college athletics. It is
a business, one that is highly organized and one that re
flects the environment in which it flourishes—or withers.”
He went on to say: “Every other conference school is
in a city of reasonable size, and in that city has alumni of
reasonable influence. For years A&M graduated farmers,
engineers and service men, and you don’t build up an in
fluential alumni association that way.”
Perhaps Texas has ruled the Southwest Conference in
football for the last few years, but you can’t say that
either. It seems to me that Arkansas has been men
tioned by some as a strong team — oh, well — maybe
I am just not used to seeing that orange tower burning.
I don’t believe that it takes this Texas-type business
arrangement that Mr. Burka speaks of to win in the South
west Conference. Unless anyone has forgotten, A&M man
aged to pick up the conference crown in both baseball and
basketball—or does the 40 Acres care to ignore these two
sports ?
As for the Texas A&M-Texas game not being a tradi
tion — well there are about 8,000 loyal Aggies down here
that busted backs and muscles to build the greatest bon
fire in the world to symbolize their burining desire to beat
the hell out of t.u. Not only in football but in every con
test, be it big or small.
So, Mr. Burka, perhaps you and others that think like
you should back up and look around you. There is more
to school than just football.

Memphis State hit six quick
points at the start of the second
half to take a lead they never re
linquished. Their advantage bulged
to as much as 17 points.
Sharp shooting kept the Cadets
in the game for the first half. Cen
ter John Beasley and guard Paul
Timmins hit consistently from the
outside. The Ags canned 15 of 26
for a 57.7 per cent average for the
first half.
A&M was hurt by floor mistakes
in the first half, inferior rebound
ing the second half and too much
Memphis State in general. The
Tigers are a perennial power in
the South. For the entire contest
Memphis State shot 53.8 per cent
from the field compared to 52.8
per cent for the Cadets.
The Tigers led in rebounds 36-35.
The big gun for the Tigers was
6-6 forward John Hillman who sank
22 points. Guards B. J. Petty and
Tim Morgan had 13 and 10 points
respectively.
Beasley was high for the Ags
with 18 points, all but two coming
from the field. Norman followed
him with 11. Timmins, Stringfel-
low and Tim Timmerman chipped
in 8 points apiece.
Coach Shelby Metcalf played all
13 boys on the squad. Two of them,
guards Dickie Stringfellow and
Dick Rector, were weakened by re
cent bouts with influenza.
Metcalf expressed disappoint
ment after the game, saying, “We
lacked teamwork and that is what
it takes to win. Memphis State
really got hot that second half.”
The game was played in Mid-South
Coliseum, the third largest coli
seum in this nation. This was the
first basketball game played in
the coliseum.
