Journey To Huntsville Tonight
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Sports Editor
The Aggie basketballers racked
up their highest home point total
ever Saturday night as they rocked
Arlington State, 97-80.
The Cadets will carry a 2-1 rec
ord into their duel with Sam Hous
ton State Tuesday night in Hunts
ville. The Bearkats are 4-2 for the
year.
A&M led all the way against the
Rebels. Ken Norman sank a jump
shot from the left corner after 22
seconds had expired to give the
Ags a lead which they never relin
quished.
John Beasley popped in 11
straight points to give the Maroons
a 15-7 advantage early in the game.
The biggest Aggie lead of the first
half was 14 points. The halftime
score was 47-35.
The scrappy Rebels refused to
let the favored Aggies blow them
off the court. A&M was only able
to extend the margin five more
points after intermission.
The widest Aggie lead was 91-
69 with 3:41 left in the game. It
came after a 12-foot jumper by
guard Dickie Stringfellow.

The A&M Fencing Club dominat
ed an intercollegiate fencing tour
nament held at the YWCA gymna
sium in Waco Saturday capturing
five of the nine places awarded in
three weapons.
Randy Juge and Wyatt Ander
son brought home each a first place
trophy. Juge took first place fenc
ing epee and Anderson first place
fencing foil.
Jose Bitar and Hogue Lewis each
received a medal for their perform
ance. Bitar placed second in the
foil and Lewis third in the sabre.
Anderson also received a third
place medal fencing epee.
There were 51 entries in the tour
nament from eight different
schools, 31 in foil and 10 each in
epee and sabre.
Schools represented were A&M;
North Texas; Texas University;
Baylor; Rice; St. Thomas, Hous
ton; St. Edwards, Austin; and Hill
Junior College, Hillsboro.
The contest was witnessed by
4,000 spectators, a disappointing
turnout. They saw the Cadets
press the Rebels into 15 floor mis
takes the first half. ASC began to
fast break more the second half
and it proved more effective than
their controlled first half offense.
Beasley was the scoring gun for
the Cadets again. He garnered 27
points, all but five coming in the
first half. He was followed by Ken
Norman with 20 points.
Norman played what might have
been his best offensive game in an
Aggie uniform. He hit several
beautiful hook shots which were
real crowd-pleasers.
Paul Timmins had 15 points and
turned in another excellent floor
performance. Dickie Stringfellow
played his best game of the year,
racking up 12 points. Bill Gasway
was the Ag rebounding leader with
ten.
For the third straight game, the
Aggies hit over 50 per cent of their
shots from the field. Also for the
third time they were outrebounded
by the opposing team. ASC held
the board advantage, 52-42.
The big gun for the Rebs was
Bruce Tibbetsf, who sank 28 points
and hailed in 12 rebounds. ASC
has pos&ible the best team in their
history but has been playing a
murderous schedule.
The crowd Saturday night was
howling for 100, but the final score
fell three points shy. Rugged for
ward John Reynolds continued to

Monday night with an 83-75 victory
over previously undefeated Texas.
The Longhorns used a 13-6 free

for a slim 43-42 intermission lead,
but the Bengals surged back from

FROM THE
Sidefi
ined
By LANI PRESSWOOD
It’s a fast-moving- world and you have to learn to expect
anything-. The announcement of a new head football coach
at Aggieland caught me as surprised as everyone else.
In fact, I’ve since talked with many people close to the
athletic scene here and almost to a man they were admittedly
caug-ht flatfooted.
After the initial shock wears off, you begin to think
about the new coach and the equipment he brings to this
job. Gene Stallings is a winner. He played on winners
at A&M and he coached winners at Alabama.
He is approaching this new assignment with confidence.
In his formal statement he used the word “challenge.”
Stallings has faced challenges before and has met them head-
on.
One of them was right here at A&M. He was one of
the now-famous group taken to Junction by Bear Bryant
during Bryant’s first summer here.
The large majority of those players walked out before
the summer was over. Those that survived the training
camp became the nucleus of the finest Aggie teams since
pre-World War II days.
Stallings was one of those that stuck it out. Others
were guys like John Crow, Charlie Krueger and Jack Pardee.
Only 29, the former all-conference end brings to A&M
new hope. After three losing years under Hank Foldberg,
enthusiasm for next fall was at a low ebb.
A new coach, a new staff, and a new method always
create fresh excitement and optimism. Stallings and his
staff will take over their new jobs Monday and will hit
the recruiting trail shortly. Championships are won during
the recruiting season and Stallings will be out in earnest
to restock the cupboard.
The Athletic Council is to be commended for handling
the turnover smoothly and swiftly. The move was not
accompanied by the chaos, mistiming, and general bungling
which have marked previous coaching changes.
I’m glad that the Council decided to retain Foldberg
as athletic director. The overall athletic program has
flourished under his leadership. He has always impressed
me as having the best interests of the school at heart.
In his three years, the Lettermen’s Lounge was con
structed, the A&M Athletic Hall of Fame was begun, and
the level of scholarship among the athletes was upgraded.
But he couldn’t produce a football winner and that is
what you must do to remain in the coaching ranks at a
major college.
With Foldberg as overseer, and the young and enthusi
astic Stallings as football coach, the A&M athletic picture
now stands on its most promising threshold in years.
