Wolverines
Take First
In AP Poll
<■#*>—Michigan’s powerful Wol
verines, preseason favorites as the
No. 1 college basketball team in
the country, confirmed that esti
mate Tuesday with an almost unan
imous vote in the Associated Press’
first regular season basketball poll*
The Wolverines, led by Cazzie
Russell and Bill Buntin, romped
past three opponents in the first
week of the season and romped off
with 32 of the 34 first-place votes
and a 100-point budge over second-
place Wichita.
Impressive in an 86-79 decision
over Top Ten opponent Duke last
week, Michigan gained 337 points
in the balloting based on 10 points
for first, nine for second, etc.
Wichita, finished in the runner-up
spot with 236 points.
The Wheatshockers, who have
had only one game to show their
talents, get an opportunity to fur
ther impress the selectors when
they tangle with Michigan Monday
night.

Late Rally Chills Sam, 75-51
AGGIES PRESS BEARKAT
. . . Timmins and Gasway apply pressure.
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Towering John Beasley ignited a
late Aggie rally Tuesday night
which blew down a fired up Sam
Houston State quintet, 75-58.
A&M’s All-American candidate
hit 23 second half points to keep
the Cadets alive until their game
breaking spurt in the last three
minutes.
Captain Paul Timmins continued
to display the floor leadership he
has shown all season. The Clear
Creek playmaker received a one-
inch gash above his forehead but
was back in action several minutes
later. Though still bleeding from
his wound, he sparked the Cadets
to their third season win.
The smallish Sam Houston gym
was packed—and then s o m e—to
watch the Bearkats try to knock
off the favored Ags. They came
much closer than the final score
indicates. With less than three
minutes to play only a pair of field
goals separated the two clubs.
The Maroons turned in an unin
spired first half which ended 29-27
in favor of A&M. The score was
tied five times and the lead

Renfro playing safety together and
running back those punts,” said
Landry, his eyes shining.
Renfro has carried back punts
and kickoffs 1,393 yards this sea
son and is the bright light of an
otherwise lackluster Dallas football
campaign. Renfro, from Oregon,
also was a star trackman.
Hayes, who holds the world’s rec
ord of 9.1 in the 100-yard dash and
10.0 in the 100 meters and was
100 meter champion of the Olym
pics, also has been a football star
at Florida A&M, playing flanker
back, running back, safety, punter
and place kicker.
Landry hasn’t seen him play but
will Jan. 9 when Hayes appears
in the Senior Bowl. Landry will
be the coach of the South team.
“He is a great athlete and he
should fit into our plans admira
bly,” said Landry. “He’s too small
for running back, but he’s just
right for flanker or split end and
safety.”

Hayes weighs 186 but expects to
be up to 192 by next football sea
son. “I ran the 100 in 9.1 when I
weighed 192,” said Hayes. “I can
run faster when I’m bigger.”
The 21-year-old Hayes, a native
of Jacksonville, Fla., finishes at
Florida A&M in April. He was red-
shirted in football so took five
years to complete his eligibility.
That’s why Dallas drafted him No.
7 last year and Denver of the
American League made him No. 1
among its futures.
“I talked to Denver, but they
didn’t offer me as much as the
Cowboys,” said Hayes.
So he signed a no-cut contract
at an undisclosed figure—“I am
quite happy with it”—and gave up
his final season of track eligibility
at Florida A&M.
“I had reached the highest goal
I could in amateur athletics,” he
explained. “I think when you have
done that it’s time to step out and
give somebody else a chance.”
Hayes also indicated he thought
it was time to start cashing in on
his athletic fame.

Shelby Metcalf’s performers
could only muster seven field goals
and lost the ball numerous times
in the sloppy first 20 minutes. De
spite a height advantage, the Bear
kats bested the Aggies on the
boards, 23-18.
Better basketball was in evidence
the second half but the margin was
nearly as close. The Cadets led all
the way but were unable to gain
over a six-point advantage until
the decisive last three minutes.
With the score at 42-39, Beasley
took matters into his own hands.
He began firing away and hit 17 of
the next 18 Aggie points.
At 2:45 the scoreboard clock
flashed 60-56. The Aggies then
meshed 15 points and held the
Bearkats to a lone field goal.
Of the 15, six came on free
throws by Kenny Norman, and
four were contributed by Bill Gas
way. A Beasley field goal and a
Stringfellow free throw accounted
for the remainder of the total.
Beasley wound up with 25 points
to maintain his Southwest Confer
ence scoring leadership. Paul Tim
